    On face value at least seems alright - No doubt Labour will be angry at not handing out £££££ in benefits :D

    50 days before a General Election what do you expect other than cynical attempts to buy votes?

    Heres hoping 'ey Warky - but, like the Budgies, i fear the worst. I think life would be untolerable if both the Budgies and labour prevailed come May :mad:

    I actually played footie with Balls for a while, he wasn't a bad player actually - and got invited round his gaff for a BBQ (this was before he was shadow chancellor and needless to say i declined the invite)

    The problem is not with the Budget Warky it is all the cuts to public services...Police numbers cut & still no sign of a recruitment drive, record numbers of Hospitals going into emergency procedures this winter, countless NHS drop in centres axed putting to much pressure on GPs & A&E...never seen the roadsides looking as dirty & full of rubbish as they do now.
    They have missed the point that they way to run the public sector more efficiently/profitable is not make these drastic cuts but actually try to make them work smarter and better not only for the government but more importantly for us the tax payer...I am not saying labour would do it any better but we may have a few more bobbies on the beat etc.

    I would also say their stance on immigration has been a huge success...!!

    1.8 Million Jobs created since 2010, A record number of people in employment, the fastest growing economy in the G7, the deficit nearly halved, inflation well under 2%,
    Surely you can't give the Car Keys back to the people who crashed the Car in the first place?

    History has shown us that it is always a labour Government that crashes the economy and its always the Tories who have to clear up the mess! We had the same thing happen in 1951,1970,1979 and again in 2010! They are addicted to TAX and Spend! <ok>

    Hey, c'mon pal.....it's not all doom n gloom under Labour - we do now have lovely shiny new bus stops, and the pavemnts are brand new too.
    Oh, and don't forget the wondrous generosity of Gordon Brown to virtually give all our gold away - ingenious of the man.

    How many of those jobs are zero hour contracts.?

    The fastest growing economy in G7 is not really that much of an achievement TBH.<ok>

    Not to mention Labour getting rid of passport checks and making benefits spiral out of control to ridiculous levels where people have no interest in working!!

    Very easy to take the Peter Risdale at Leeds approach eh Labour.............. absolute disgrace of a " party "

    Thank god for Ed Milliband!!! FRIEND! Thumbs up friend. FRIEND.

    I would say Labour's " all are welcome regardless of if you work or whatever you do " was a lot worse but hey ho!
