Vote Labour ...for the sake of the country !

He said what he said, but it never came to fruition. It didn't happen and you brought up something that might have happened. Exactly doing what you first told me was pointless.

You can only hypothesise what the affects of carrying out MH's policy and I have no problem with it. I just want you to be consistent!

But I've just said already that I don't have a problem with hypothesising in a debate. It's you that said it was pointless and then do exactly that!

!confused!

Yes you did:

"Michael Howard 2005 General Election, identified 12bn of spending reductions, 8bn to REDUCE DEBT, 4bn to REDUCE taxes, that would equate to 40bn less debt now."

That's hypothesising in my book. He didn't get in and it never happened. The only fact was that he said he would.

And anyway, that's still bringing up the past, which you said was pointless. Like I said, I just want consistency.

First recession in 12 years, and it's a global one.

How many recessions did we have under the Tories now? Was it 3?
