I remember when Blair got in and then in the next 11 years Public spending went way out of control....what cuts?.....cuts!!.....you just need to add the "n" after the second letter to some up those stheads.

I don't remember anyone telling us that they were spending more

I do remember being told they weren't spending enough

I know you guys love having a moan about the Labour party

But this isn't a thread about the labour party

Its about the constant whining we hear in the press about there isn't enough money being spent and the constant moaning about cuts.

There is plenty of threads where you can moan about the labour party and fantasise about a tory government but this is meant to be about the press

I'll complain about the Labour party wherever and whenever I like, thanks.

They are a bunch of s, and it is a civic duty for everyone to be reminded of that fact as often as possible.

Oh I give up

[thinfourth2]

So i started the thread about the media constantly moaning about a lack of government spending and it is now because of Scotland

Lol Scottish ref...

If the Scots left then we would be a Tory country

True if scotland left then Tony Blair would of only won the 1997, 2001 and 2005 elections instead of winning the 1997, 2001 and 2005 elections

How was I supposed to know that? I only came in to the thread for the first time this morning, by which point you'd clearly thrown your toys out of your pram and changed your OP, so I haven't got a clue what you started the thread about.

Before he childishly changed his OP he actually made an interesting point:

said:

All i hear in the main stream media is some person moaning about cuts

Now something has struck me


When hasn't there been some windbag moaning about cuts or lack of government money.


I remember when blair got in the first thing he did was cuts which included binning the royal yacht

So has there ever been a time when the media hasn't had a time when some wker hasn't been moaning about lack of government spending?

But it is far more fun to moan about the labour party

Indeed it is an interesting point. The typical Daily Wail view would be that this demonstrates the BBC's typical left-wing bias. Personally, I think it's more down to the fact that the unions pay PR people plenty of cash to help them keep feathering their own nests, and these PR people do a good job for their money.

Also the Daily Wail likes to keep screaming it is the end of the NHS as we know it

The hard facts are to make the necessary cuts required shaving a couple of billion off MOD just will not do it as such the only pot worth investigating is Wealfare budget. It's huge circa 7 times the MOD spend twice the NHS and 4 ish times the Education budget. It's also 7 times the interest on our debt budget .

It would be good to see what the budgets of each dept was back in 1996 and see where we are getting real value for money. Currently there are no real cuts at all simply throttling back on how muh they are increasing. The press is doing a great job in making general populous think its real cuts

You aren't getting this

When has there ever been a time when the press haven't said this is the end of the NHS as we know it
