    It does seem strange that, after all their talk of re-balancing the economy, the Tory economic strategy has come down to letting finance and borrowing rip and trying to inflate an asset / consumer bubble.

    Did Cameron and Osborne learn nothing at all from the financial crisis and the economic / deficit problems it caused?

    Train ticket price inflation = bad.

    That's certainly the PB Tory view

    House Price Inflation under Labour = bad

    House Price Inflation under Tories = good
    Yep, that we'll known asset, an expired rail ticket. I can see how you would be confused.
    Get this, Saddo. There is no apostrophe in "well". Unless you want to write "we will" which you don't. Simple punctuation mark !

    It's still hassle and demeans the image of the site.

    Although I probably do that all on my lonesome. ;-)

    Depends whether you still have that beard or not...
    My beard is currently at 1%, because I'm not doing much hiking atm and it's a warm summer.

    But don't worry, I've got lots of other bodily hair to compensate.

    (For all the readers, mind bleach is available from all good chemists).
    I bet I'm way hairier than you! (How's the mind bleach? :))
    Not possible, believe me.

    Years ago I was lying in bed watching 'an American Werewolf in London'. The lady had never seen it before, and when the lead changed into a werewolf for the first time, she looked at me, looked at the TV, and looked back at me, and said: "Josias, you;'re hairier than the werewolf!"

    Women either dig it or they don't. You get either a 'yummm' or a 'yuck'.
    LOL - it keeps you warm in winter though.

    I know that a few Tories on here tried to take on the academics recently so I should be careful. But if you read any of the literature produced from the 2010 general election they all said that mattered.

    For @Sunil and others - I've been looking back at some archive YouTube after the Tom and Jerry stuff and this from The Goodies is just as funny today. I have some ancient VHS tapes of the series = must dig them out.

    Perhaps among the very first kitten videos? :)

    Ok that is a very enough point. I am sure you are recognising then that data must be pretty important if the Tories want to spend £1 million pounds on one person for it.

    Where did you get your figure of "£1 million pounds" from?
    There was a newspaper article citing someone saying "he hasn't cost a million yet"

    Admitted (I think) there was a "yet" but it is still a negative.

    I thought it was a global financial crisis that started in America? That it was definitely not caused by Labour's policies, and that Gordo saved the world?

    But now you tell us that the current government could cause a repeat, by making the same mistakes...

    It's hard to keep up with the left sometimes when you run round and round in circles like this. Doesn't it make you dizzy?

    You did notice I'm posting on a kindle, that auto corrects, didn't you. Care to comment on the content of the post? Or, as all the evidence from your posting history suggests, is it beyond your limited intellect?

    What is it about lefties that makes so many of their male posters on here mysogynists?
    Day after day we see regular attacks on Plato (and others), so why do they feel so threatened by females?

    Guys it is 2013 not 1913. I wonder if they had bad experiences with leftie females that has created such a nasty streak? Ever thought of therapy chaps?

    Yes. I know we lost power. Cameron only lives in downing street because the Liberal Democrats say so. I don't see what your point is. Your electoral peak is having to run things past Vince Cable?

    You also have no members or money. In fact saddened I am willing to be you aren't even a Tory party member.

    If there had been no coalition with the libdems there would most likely have been a supply-and-confindence deal and Cameron would have still been in no.10 albeit with a minority government. There quite simply was no way a feasible government could have formed without the Tories in 2010.

    And while the Libdems hypocrisy and happy-clappy tendency can grate at times the threat to the public finances was such that both parties had to pull together for the public good. And they've actually achieved a lot in these three years.

    And party membership is overrated. It's who puts a tick in the ballot box that counts.
