In the last recession the Conservatives put base interested rates to 15%. This meant businesses could no longer afford the loans and overdrafts they needed, which meant the recession was worse than it needed to be.

The Conservatives managed to wipe out 25% of total UK manufacturing.

The number of job losses, plus monumental mortgage payments from the 15% base rate meant that millions lost their homes.

Labour have lowered the base rate to 2%, and most world senior economists are saying that Gordon Brown is doing the right thing to reduce the impact of the recession.

Labour will pay your mortgage interest payments for up to 2 years. What did the Conservatives do?

After the MASSIVE HUGE STUPENDOUS (not) VAT break we've been given store keepers have had to widen their doors for the flood of people queueing up to save 25p on each £10.

Oh..actually... that never happened...
what a suprise! (not).

It's our own fault

Right now the USA has the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. Obama wants it to be #1. Combine that with over zealous enviromental rules and greedy ass unions it is no wonder companies leave to do buisness elsewhere.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
