		<description>What people seem to forget is that we are running a budget deficit because our manufacturing industry is suffering. Now while this current Labour government has not done enough to prevent the situation getting worse, the rot set in with the previous Conservative government hastily privatising every industry they could because they knew they were going to lose to New Labour and wanted to leave a &#039;legacy&#039;. The resulting purchase of British assets by foreign companies is a key reason why we are in so much trouble.</description>

		<description>Oh well that&#039;s alright then!  Cos it is so annoying and offensive to women to be accused of supporting a politician because you fancy him, and I am not really a slaverer by nature.

More stroppy and mouthy, but I DO admire David Cameron.  Boris Johnson too!</description>

		<description>Angela - no you mistake me, the &#039;OMGod..&#039; bit was a typo which is why I put another comment underneath making that clear. And I didn&#039;t for one moment think you supported Cameron simply because you fancied him. I too get annoyed at such assumptions. No, &#039;slavering&#039; means to behave in an obsequious manner or to be effusive in praise of something. So to be effusive in praise of Cameron who is a position of power over us could be termed as slavering. Ergo if the Conservative party wins don&#039;t expect me to be effusive in praise of Cameron.</description>

		<description>The Stock Market rose 10 points last night but apparently that was because of what was happening with Obama in the US.

This morning it has sunk like a stone, DOWN 35 POINTS.  I think that sums up what everybody thinks about Darling&#039;s economic measures.  VAT is not payable on food or kids&#039; clothes and those are the things at families cannot avoid spending money on.  If Darling and Gordon think by a 2.5% reduction on VAT we will rush to buy flat screen t.vs, and other goodies, they are off their bonces.  

It will also be expensive and difficult for retailers to implement the difference in VAT.

He has just thrown away that money, they are playing a SHORT term political game and I curse their initiatives and the demons behind them.  GOD DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL.</description>

		<description>Jaq, I am sure you think I am the biggest pain ever, and you will not be alone.  I just find it so offensive that if I passionately support Boris Johnson and David Cameron, the only reason is because they are good looking and I want to get into their trousers.  SO OFFENSIVE.

Do people who insinuate this honestly think that I am spending so much of my time on this website arguing for the Conservatives for such a trivial reason as that?  Harriet Harman said straight out that that is the only reason we vote for DC and I took the greatest exception to her remarks, WHICH ARE INSULTING TO WOMEN,  and I take exception to anyone who even hints at the same thing.

However, I am sure you think because I care so much about how this country is run that I am the biggest pain ever, and you imply I think I am God.  I am not.  I just care about this country.</description>
