However bearing in mind what we have learnt over the past few days I doubt that I would believe much of what Ed balls says unless there is fully independent verification. I think that many more people in the UK feel the same way.Not a sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123293202225008273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893698629458358623.post-55315350742322318402011-06-11T11:19:22.616+01:002011-06-11T11:19:22.616+01:00I think you might have misunderstood the quote.
“...I think you might have misunderstood the quote.<br /><br />“We have acted in the downturn, that will mean that the economy is stronger, we’ll have less unemployment, less debt. Therefore we will be able to spend more on schools and hospitals. The Conservatives have opposed these plans, the national debt will be higher with the Conservatives.”<br /><br />Surely here he's saying that had they not acted as they did then debt would have been higher, the economy weaker and unemployment higher. <br /><br />He then goes on to say that whatever firefighting plans the conservatives had in mind to deal with the banking crisis wouldn't have worked as well, and the debt would have been higher for it.Scottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412537303966514195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893698629458358623.post-51877867590794343202011-06-11T06:53:57.650+01:002011-06-11T06:53:57.650+01:00Peter Oborne, in today's Telegraph, describes ...Peter Oborne, in today's Telegraph, describes Balls as "charismatic" !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
