To be repulsed by the sight of David Cameron and those feckin' Tory posters EVERYWHERE?

[Lovecat]

Have just come back from an afternoon out at the 02 Christmas fair, saw 6 of these enormous buggers on the short drive there and back!

Okay, GB is no pin-up either but he doesn't make my gorge rise the way DC does - and all the accompanying bollocks about 'we won't harm the NHS' (can't remember the exact wording but it made me shout abuse at it) - gaaah!

AIBU to think they should at least save the propaganda til the election is actually called? I can't take this from now until May!

Saultnpepper you talk a lot of sense there.I agree with everything you've said.

It is just me, or do you think if you were having sex with David Cameron you'd look up to see him checking his hair in the mirror?

littlemoomin - there is no vomit emoticon so I say on the subject of shiny-foreheaded Dave and his fleshy lips.

Mind you, I say that about most politicians. Especially David Miliband and his strangely plastic hair. Thankfully we don't elect on looks (do we? Please say no!)

DC is great. I can't wait for the General Election and the removals van at 10 Downing Street.

The Cuntryside Alliance are like The Taxpayers' Alliance aren't they? Hijack a name that doesn't actaully represent who they are.

"do you think if you were having sex with David Cameron" - I am now shaking my head to get this thought out of there. Please put a warning if you are ever to type a similar statement again. Please.

He isn't great. He is 100% fabricated. I reckon if you ripped his face off there'd just be wires underneath...who wants to find out?

Could someone please explain what Labour's economic policy is?

They want to "halve the deficit" in 4 years, but haven't said how, other than new taxes which only go at most 10% of the way towards filling the hole. And anyway, any time a Labour minister comes on TV and says "halve the deficit" I feel like slapping them. They are deliberately trying to confuse the public about the difference between deficit and debt.

Halving the deficit will mean that Britain is borrowing merely £90bn a year instead of £180bn a year! Our total debt will be well over £1 trillion.

We will be paying more in interest payments on our national debt than on education, defence and transport combined - and STILL borrowing at 8% of GDP!

And this wasn't just because of the recession - everyone understands you need to borrow to get through recessions. The problem is that Gordon Brown ran up a deficit even going INTO the credit crunch, because he thought he had abolished boom and bust! He sold off our gold at the bottom of the market, he raided pensions, he set up the paper tiger FSA which was more concerned with box-ticking than regulating, he ran up a structural deficit even in the good years, he tried to hide his incompetence by fiddling figures so PFI liabilities appear off the books to try to make things look better than they are.

Australia didn't even have a recession, technically. Canada got out really quickly. Britain is the only rich country of any significance still in recession except Spain. Yet Gordon Brown, in his delusion, thinks he is "leading the world".

Some of Cameron's economic priorities are bad. I don't like inheritance tax but it shouldn't be the priority for tax cuts - if there is any money at all sloshing around, it should be used to pay down debt. However, other policies, like no national insurance for startup companies, are very good.

Ultimately, though, those are minor in the grand scheme of things. It's the economy, stupid. It comes down to the fact that Gordon Brown has run an economy worse than any other leader of any other rich country in the world.
