ED BALLS TRIES AGAIN AND STILL CAN'T SCORE.

Oh Dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear !

 

Poor old Ed Balls really is a first class idiot. Yet again, he's been on our television screens this morning trying to convince us all that a future Labour government will abide by the spending plans of the current lot for the year 2015/16, at least for 'current spending'. They would not reverse spending cuts already put in place but would attack the so called rich for all they're worth; it's now abundantly clear that payment of the state pension will no longer be considered a right for all and that Labour would restrict this to the people whom it believes to be the poor.

 

Balls was one of the principal architects of the appalling mess created by the last Labour governments of Blair and Brown. He now bumbles his way through interviews, trying to convince us that he has true economic gravitas and can resolve all of the problems that he created. He says whatever he thinks will win him and his party votes - spend more, tax the rich, introduce what would effectively be means testing for payments such as the state pension, winter fuel allowance and so on. Such policies are designed to appeal to his party's traditional voter base, but he also tries to appeal to others by pretending that our economy would be safe in his hands as he would not revert to typical Labour and borrow vast amounts more. This last is, of course, a sham as he has every intention of borrowing shed-loads of money for what he sees as necessary 'capital schemes' - building houses, roads, railways and everything else he can think of. Much of this would be current spending by any other name and would never be recouped, in fact, it would worsen our already dire state. This  approach would actually be the one adopted by communist Russia for many years, and one which eventually brought that benighted state to its knees.

 

Our country is in a financial mess. Part of this was due to some of our major banks behaving badly but most of it is down to the Labour governments of Blair and Brown, either through their direct actions or because they failed to ensure that the banks were properly supervised. Ed Balls and his mate, Ed Miliband, were both willing and enthusiastic participants in those governments and yet now they tell us that they know better than the current lot how to deal with the mess and ask us to trust them to put things right. Who do they think they are - Laurel and Hardy ? Come to think of it, isn't there some similarity there, a relatively thin one who's always scratching his head in bemused fashion and a fatter one who's bombastic but always shown to be a fool ?!

 

Voting for a government led by Balls and Miliband would be akin to turkeys voting for Christmas; it would be voluntary euthanasia on a vast scale as anyone with anything would find it taken from them and those with nothing would be no better off, while the country would be bankrupted. You have been warned.
