'You just can't trust Labour with the economy' has been the rally call of the right wing press - Sun/Mail/Telegraph, which seems rich considering the Cameron Government has increased public sector net debt from an eye watering GBP 700 billion to a mind boggling GBP 1.56 trillion at Q1 2015, more than double, in just 5 years

So what can we expect by 2020?

Probably a third to a half of what it would have been if Labour were in power and using spend spend spend tactics. The country have spoken with approval. Carry on Dave

The TORIES have WON without a coalition, according to the Daily Mail??

A working farm is a business & entitled to Agricultural Relief. Your example is flawed. Any self respecting farmer should have that squared away. It was a topic of conversation in the local village pub when I went back last year.

Well they need 5 seats out of the remaining 14 to be declared (still waiting for Farage!) - that seems a likely outcome.

Re: UK election results thread
 

With his party collapsing around his ears and his seat about to be ripped out from under him, I presume Nigel Farage's plan is to find the nearest boozer and start downing pints while ripping off some cringeworthy anecdotes as if nothing has happened.

'So I was in this pub with a chap—you know, a good old fashioned English pub, like the ones we used to have before the EEC—and the chap says to me, "Nigel, for heavens sake what are we going to do about the wig-wogs?", and I said "Why don't we just shove them all in Wales, where nobody will notice?" Ahahahahahahahahahahah! How we laughed... So anyway, that's now our immigration policy.'

:D

So you wrote his election manifesto, you traitor you..........lol:rofl:

Re: UK election results thread
 

There's some pretty specific clauses around agricultural relief so not exactly flawed. Besides most farmers don't get out much (except to the local pub) and don't get nor trust things like trust funds and the like.

...and there goes Nigel, short by nearly 3000.

Re: UK election results thread
 

Has he resigned then, he did promise to do so within 10 mins if he lost.
Miliband is expected to resign around lunchtime, not too sure when Clegg will go.

In the previous 11 years of Labour rule the national debt rose by GBP 400 billion (Blair added 150 billion,Brown 250 billion)

The Cameron government has increased UK debt by more than ALL the previous governments combined in the past 100 years in just 5 years.

Clegg can't afford to resign as an MP and force another election - there are so few left - so expect him to hang around somehow, like a bad smell.

I said years ago that the Lib Dems best bet was to jump ship from the coalition and tar and feather Clegg at least 1-2 years out from the election. The stench of tory misrule was always going to stink up their election chances.

Unconfirmed reports of 'shrieked obscenities' and 'muffled weeping' behind closed doors at UKIP HQ, as Nigel Farage is totally destroyed by his Tory rival, suffering what some commentators have already described as 'the most humiliating defeat in British politics':

Ding, dong, the wicked witch is dead!

Re: UK election results thread
 

How Blair was able to run up such debt in such prosperous times is astonishing. Not to mention the banking fiasco credit crunch they left the Tories. Thank your lucky stars the Tories have been in to prevent the UK from becoming another Greece.
