I find it difficult to understand why interest rates have not been lowered further. The MPC do seem to be impotent followers of events. <BR/><BR/>eric - You make a fair comment, which is being made by many others. But I always think the Irishman who said that 'if you want to know the way to there, I wouldn't start from here' was making a reasonable observation.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-72682256039615951782008-10-28T22:54:00.000+01:002008-10-28T22:54:00.000+01:00fair comment, i tend to disagree, but i don't thin...fair comment, i tend to disagree, but i don't think the oppositions role is to just say what shouldn't be done. They are there to represent their constituents, make suggestions, what is the conservative plan to take us out of recession, put it forward, shout it from the roof, if Gordon goes with it then its a win win. But theres nothing coming forward other than, oooo what your doing son, it'll never work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-23015213110044115192008-10-28T05:53:00.000+01:002008-10-28T05:53:00.000+01:00Definition of a "pyramid scheme": Gordon Brown's ...Definition of a "pyramid scheme": Gordon Brown's spending plans. <BR/><BR/>Anyone heard the latest 'joke'? Gordon Brown telling anyone who will listen that consumer prices are going to drop. Anyone heard anything so ridiculous? For his next party trick Gordon Brown will produce a carrot from a 10kg bar of solid gold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-56608379837583771662008-10-28T00:15:00.000+01:002008-10-28T00:15:00.000+01:00eric - I don't think anyone would criticise bringi...eric - I don't think anyone would criticise bringing forward already agreed capital projects. But this is hardly what the Prime Minister has been talking about. I think it is the duty of an opposition to point out that we are unable to introduce a programme of Keynesian spending becaus ethe Prime Minister has spent too much already to allow such a strategy to be adopted safely.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-4786055195859167122008-10-27T23:49:00.000+01:002008-10-27T23:49:00.000+01:00i think its quite clear its bringing forward big c...i think its quite clear its bringing forward big capital projects....seems sensible enough to me, what is the conservative suggestions? <BR/>i'm open to all ideas, but today is just Gordons, where are the conservative options? suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
