And David has a thing for bananas, we must never forget that. I suppose it's better than posing with a bong.

I think Labour chose the wrong Milliband. David was a better speaker and a better politician. You also got the impression that he knew what he was talking about.
And he isn't a politician anymore - such dedication to his craft he tossed it all away to go and work some invisible job for a 'charidee'. Man of principle, quite clearly..... |

Ed Balls is highly qualified as an economist. He has a first from Oxford and has worked for the Financial Times for many years. George
I think you miss the point, robbiex
Balls must know that his policies are bunkem - anyone with half a brain cell can work that out.
The point is, that it's in Labour's interests to keep the peasantry down, so they have an audience to play to, while they carry on turning themselves into millionaires !
(If Balls is such a good economist, how come both he AND his wife - Yvette Cooper - were BOTH claiming for the SAME mortgage during the expense fiasco? Good for Balls - NOT good for the country !)

I think we all know people who have firsts from Cambridge or Oxford who aren't that smart, don't we? And the same for the Financial Times. And seeing as Hayek ruled the ideological roost for years by saying, basically, that none of them could know much at all (which is why, I guess, economists turned their subject into a fancy form of mathematics) an economics geek isn't that impressive at the best of times. Balls is an opportunist in one of the most unpleasantly, depressingly, opportunistic parties I've seen in ages. And as someone who'd never vote Conservative that pains me to say. |
