If there were, then people would not need to be told about it. They would simply know that it was there.
Labour is seven points ahead nationally, and well ahead of that in the key marginal seats.
The governing parties have just done very badly in both local and European elections.

They must be calculating the economic figures wrongly. Nothing else makes sense.
There is obviously no recovery. Ask anyone.
How do you think they managed to fake the GDP figures?
ReplyDeleteIs this Ed Balls? Was wondering why we hadn't heard from you lately- your now writing under a false name.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad to see you admit you don't get economics.
There is an enormous recovery as a matter of fact- it's proved by the fact each sector of the economy including manufacturing, is growing rapidly.
The CBI's survey of British business shows dramatic growth across all sectors.
Ask any business if there's a recovery. The CBI already has.
The European election results had nothing to do with the economy- two Right wing parties got the majority share of the national vote- and an actual Right- wing party won the election.
ReplyDeleteIf the people wanted to protest " the recovery" they could have voted the Greens or Labour to victory.
UKIP's campaign revolved around opposing immigration-and that is why they won. Because, surprise surprise, the people don't want mass immigration.
It had nothing to do with the economy.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to know. But they obviously have done. If there were a recovery, then people would notice.

Tory activists would say that, wouldn't they?

We've asked everyone. There isn't.

Bless.
And I thought that the Tories were not a right-wing party? If they are, then why bother having UKIP?
Labour did win the grown-up elections hands down.
Brilliant post, brilliant replies to the drivelling critics, Mr L.
ReplyDeleteOne does one's best.
ReplyDeleteI am delighted that the Right remains as deluded as it is about the economy.
Not being cocooned by absurd personal wealth, no one else labours, so to speak, under any such misapprehensions. Evidently.
I remember Norman Lamont, whose protégé David Cameron was at the time, banging on about "green shoots of recovery", which were invisible to everyone but himself and his party's hardcore supporters.
They have learned absolutely nothing in 20 years.
"I'd love to know. But they obviously have done."
ReplyDeleteNo doubt they faked the unemployment figures as well. And all the hundreds of people involved in collecting the statistics have decided to remain quiet.
"We've asked everyone. There isn't."
Who is "we"? Have you carried out an opinion poll? Can you point to any recent polls showing the majority of people doubt the economy is recovering?
"I remember Norman Lamont, whose protégé David Cameron was at the time, banging on about "green shoots of recovery", which were invisible to everyone but himself and his party's hardcore supporters."
Are you seriously suggesting there was no economic recovery between 1992 and 1997? GDP didn't increase and unemployment remained high? That was all faked as well was it?
If it happened, then nobody noticed. You are too young to remember those days. The idea of a recovery was universally treated as execrable. And yes, the figures were universally assumed to be lies. Just like now.
