Reduce the deficit, not fill it. And as I'm sure you know, the structural deficit is not the same thing as the national debt, which is fast approaching a TRILLION pounds.
In that context 1 extra bank holiday every 30 years is pissing in the wind. If only Labour had read all of John Keynes theory and not just stopped at the "it is ok to spend when times are bad" bit and got our cheque books out, conveniently ignoring the "as long as you save when times are good" bit eh :-). Then, depending what colour you are, we might not be having to make such drastic cuts in public spending, or have the excuse of the deficit/debt to make ideological cuts. Either way you look at it, it is Blair/Brown/Darling to blame, not Cameron, not Clegg, not FPTP, not the Queen and not Ken Bates. What a shitter. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Murray [mailto:ianjamesmur...@hotmail.com] Sent: 04 May 2011 14:00 To: Mark Humphries Cc: Robert Heath; Richard Naef; <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Subject: Re: [LU] [Non LU] Good omen? Maybe we can use the cake and pop tax revenue to fill this deficit you seem so concerned about? Or no, we have to offset that against the net loss to the economy of billions caused by the extra BH.
