The sharp falls in the share prices today seem way OTT to me and are offering a good buy opportunity.

Even IF Labour did get back in I can't see this policy ever happening. The policy is so ill thoughtout it is up there with Camoron's idea last year on energy prices.

it probably came from the result of a focus group conducted in marginal constituencies (like most dumbass populist policies). Ed Moribund is a clueless little twerp and would be even more of an embarrassment as PM than Moron Brown.

Politics really has lost the plot hasn't it? How can people stand up and make gerrymandering populist type promises to appeal to the electorate when they should be laying out how they will turn the country around and pay off all this debt. It's terrible.

shhhh!

You aren't allowed to say the Debt word! It is only the Deficit word that is allowed so we can make people think that when we are reducing the deficit we are actually reducing the debt.

Ask your average man or woman in the street and I bet the majority think we now owe less because the government are reducing the deficit.

too true Andy.

...factoring in all liabilities including state and public sector pensions, the real national debt is closer to £4.8 trillion, some £78,000 for every person in the UK.
