Harman: Labour gambling move wrong

Gambling liberalisation introduced by the former Labour government was a "mistake" and has ruined people's lives, the party's deputy leader Harriet Harman has admitted.

This was without question a silly idea from the start. I saw this coming a mile off and I can only hope Labour will stop and think next time they come to power.

There you go some balance to the thread...Steve.

Steve...even more balance news.

Nigel Farage: UK election outcomes irrelevant, because of EU

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has claimed he "could not care less" who wins the next election as the UK is "governed from Brussels".

Mr Farage, whose party wants to leave the European Union, suggested UK voters could no longer change governments but merely had a "choice of managers"....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19060650

To be honest he dose have a point, so its down to the "manager" to wake up and do something right for the UK. Get are industry's back up and running for a start so we don't have to be so dependant on goods from Europe.

UK Economy Forecast 'To Shrink 0.5%' In 2012

http://news.sky.com/story/968309/uk-...ercent-in-2012
Those toff boys just haven't got a clue but as always they will blame it all on Labour. That Gideon is the worst Chancellor in the history of UK politics. But as long as he stays there the nasty party will almost certainly become unelectable.

STEED · 08-05-12, 04:59 PM

Not sure what they mean for example the economy is now -0.7% now so are they saying this will rise up to -0.5% which the government will say what we are doing is showing signs now we're pulling back into the Black slowly. Or are they saying we are heading for -0.12% which will cause a massive backlash against this coalition.

I have read other forecasts which have written off 2012 and very from -0.3% to -0.9% and downgraded 2013. I agree the Tories can not keep blaming it all on Labour, yes they cause some of it but the most damaging part came from the City mile & Banks even today after these scandals have come to light they still up to there ponzi ways.

BossMark · 08-06-12, 03:56 AM

Well STEED hopefully this will be one less Tory after the by-election, Labour will regain the seat.

Grim Bank forecast to prepare ground for more easing

LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England looks set to slash its growth and inflation forecasts for 2012 and beyond on Wednesday, bolstering expectations for more economic stimulus later this year as Britain's economy remains stuck in recession.

Personally I take (small) hope from the crack that opened between the ConDems over the Peer review and its failure. If the Lib Dems can actually get some backbone then they might just scrape a small part of their reputation back from the gutter...yeah, and pigs might fly, I know, I know...
