White Badger Yes this looks and is awful - but maybe the perception/quest of/for popularity is more important?

So many refuse to look at the facts.


The Tories predicted a budget surplus of £2.5b for July, just gone: They had a deficit of £62m!

And the National Debt has increased by 50% in three years - unprecedented.


Many people (on this site and elsewhere) just ignore the reality.




the reality - statistics published by the incumbent goverment
Ben 11 ONS/OBR figures today show the debt at £1,120b or 74.5% of GDP!

Famously predicted by Osborne, three years ago, to be over 4% less by now - 70.3%.

GO is highly unlikely 'to balance the books by 2015' - as the debt is clearly rising fast: It has now increased by nearly 50% since the Tories came in, in 2010 - just three years ago!!!

Tax rises seem imminent and inevitable - as the Tories have now played all their cards. Badly.
