I wish I had not come back. I learned today that our incompetent Labour government, not happy with 100 or more separate tax increases, of plunging our economy into recession, of presiding over a massive banking crisis, of pissing billions of our money down the drain, of all the lies, backtracking and blaming the Tories for their own failures, they now want to plunge the country into economic ruin for decades to come.

I am utterly speechless. I cannot believe that the governing Labour Party are so vindictive and certain of their own demise that they are willing to sabotage the country so that the incoming Conservative government will be able to do nothing but increase taxes. Not happy with bankrupting their own party, they now wish to do so to the country they govern. They know they will never win the next election, but maybe if they force the Conservatives to increase taxes at the same time as reducing spending, they might win the one after. Never did I expect even Labour would go so low as to drill holes in the lifeboats so that no one would survive to bear witness to the crew’s failure.

Just look at this graph:

Apparently, the extra spending will come from borrowing because Labour has paid back the debt’s taken out by the Conservatives. But they only did it by following Conservative economic policies! Since they abandoned the prudence invented by their arch-rivals in their second term, they borrowed it all back again, and we are now at the point where we were in 1997! And these figures do not include the recent bank bail out, to the tune of £500bn! 

In the last decade I have grown to dislike and even detest Labour and all they stand for. I am now hold them in complete and utter contempt, disgusted by their lies, vitriol and incompetence. How dare they do this to the country! Do remember, it was only last week that Brown and his puppet Chancellor uttered the words “The age of irresponsibility must be ended”.
