As the post title suggest we as a nation have been let down by Government, how many more times are we to see Cameron metaphorically "holding in his hand a piece of paper", the weapon of the appeaser.<br />
<br />
Where is Clegg with his in/out manifesto promise, a sniff of power and that promise was soon forgotten.<br />
<br />
41 MPs signed Bill Cash's amendment, here's a thought why don't those MPs resign the party whips set up as a group within Parliament, demand an in/out referendum, I am positive the Government would appease them.<br />

<br />
The Hitachi trains are bimodal, which means that they can switch from diesel to electric and vice versa when the need arises. Southeastern operates such Hitachi high speed trains.<br />
<br />
No Phil. SouthEastern does not.<br />
<br />
The Javelins are not bi-modes, they are dual voltage allowing them to run under the wires and on third rail.<br />
<br />
Furthermore he went on to say "Hitachi's investment would be the biggest investment in the north-east of England since Nissan back in the 1980s".<br />
<br />
How soon they forget, what about the the small matter of Siemens' £1 billion silicon chip factory on Tyneside skipped his mind. <br />
<br />
It was opened by HM the Queen in 1997 and closed two years later, with the loss of 1100 jobs, when the price of the DRAM chips it was set up to make dropped from $50 each to under $5.<br />
<br />
If Hitachi (and I very much hope they) do come to the North East my one bit of advice would be get non union labour, if the RMT, UNITE or any other union get a foot hold the whole thing will crash.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629899052085017230.post-44451545584659956622011-01-23T22:30:00.000+00:002011-01-23T22:30:52.174+00:00Just another little reminderJust another little reminder as to why we are where we are today<br />
<br />
<b>Labour's Legacy</b><br />
<br />
Labour took Britain to the brink of bankruptcy<br />
<br />
Labour left Britain with the biggest deficit in its peacetime history and the biggest deficit in the developed world. At £155 billion, the budget deficit is the largest in our peacetime history and according to the IMF, the UK has the largest deficit of any G20 country in 2010.<br />
<br />
Labour left Britain borrowing more than we spend on the NHS and Defence combined. The NHS England combined resource and capital budget for 2010-11 is £104.2 billion. The Defence combined resource and capital budget for 2010-11 is £46.1 billion - together this accounts for £150.3 billion of government spending.<br />
<br />
National debt more than doubled under Labour. In May 1997, public sector net debt was £351 billion. By April 2010 it had more than doubled to £893 billion.<br />
<br />
As a result, we are spending £120 million every day on debt interest alone. In 2010-11, debt interest payments will be £43.3 billion or £120 million per day.<br />
<br />
Labour would have been spending more on debt interest than we are spending on defence or education. Labour's £67.2 billion debt interest bill for 2014-15 is bigger than the entire Education budget in 2010-11 (£57.6 billion) or the entire Defence budget in 2010-11 (£46.1 billion).<br />
<br />
Remember that the Labour run Darlington Council copied its Government and now the Darlington taxpayer is lumbered with 106 million pounds of debt as well.<br />
<br />
Overspend on the pedestrian Heart, a scheme no one but the Labour Councillors and Officers wanted.<br />
<br />
Overspend on the Road to NoWhere & the compensation payouts due to incompetence.<br />
<br />
Millions spent on Consultants.<br />
<br />
In 2001 the wage bill for high earners in the Council £400,000 today over 3 million.<br />

<br />
I know our man won simply because Fred Lawton (Fib-Dumb)scored it as M Barker winning by a point and we all know how much the Fib-Dumbs exaggerate. But it was a very enjoyable evening with a full hall and searching questions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629899052085017230.post-44872402112179925702010-04-28T22:37:00.001+01:002010-04-28T22:42:15.092+01:00Sorry my ARSEGordon Brown is a liar, he is not sorry only sorry he was caught. This despicable little man showed his true colours today and what is more is those that try to defend and justify what he said are guilty of the exact same feeling toward us the people as brown himself.<br />
<br />
The utter disdain that Mrs Duffy was treated to is truly awful, but rest assured Labour feel the same way about you, yes you lucky lucky people a vote for Labour is a vote for ignorance, lies and skullduggery.<br />

Do not let this happen. On may 6th we have chance to rid the nation of this pigswill of a Government and the pigswill of its Minister and M.Ps for the good of the UK vote Conservative.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629899052085017230.post-9155617101316173282010-04-27T22:46:00.002+01:002010-04-27T22:50:22.549+01:00Are they helping Labour?Today here in sunny Darlington Labour candidate Jenny Chapman was making her way into the local radio station Star radio, nothing too odd in this other than no other candidate had been invited, my source tells me on enquiring she was there for something "after" the election, in what capacity I wonder, or are Star radio helping her out just like the Northern Echo and the Borough Council.<br />
<br />
A council employee printed Business cards to hand out at an educational seminar run by the Council, has this person been charged have they been reprimanded?<br />

<br />
And today in the Echo headed "Dirty Work for Candidate" where apparantly whilst out canvassing in the Park East area of the town she received complaints about litter. She managed to get the charity Groundworks out and clear a vast area why when we have street scene which should have been contacted by cllrs, but perhaps of more consequence than having DBC and the Northern Echo to help her campaign is the fact that this is a LIB/LAB pact that does not work as it has taken a parliamentry candidate to get the area cleaned up for the residents.<br />
<br />
If they cannot work together locally for the good of the people what hope of them working together nationally.<br />

Only the Conservatives are fighting to win and put our Country right, the lib-Dems and Labour are fighting to be the opposition and gain control in an underhanded way, do not let them do it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629899052085017230.post-14031623994296294172010-04-27T20:28:00.003+01:002010-04-27T21:00:01.874+01:00The Fib-Dumbs in Darlington No 2Mike Barkers latest leaflet has shown the Liberal-Democrats in their true light. Mike Barker has used phoney statistics putting the Liberal-Democrats ahead in the polls in Darlington but offers no source for the data. Why? Because he made it up perhaps?<br />
<br />
He claims that voting Tory will mean that the schools that had been promised money by Labour now won’t receive that money, another fact that he has no evidence for. The real fact is that had that money ever really existed then the papers would have been signed before the election!<br />
<br />
The truth is that Labour and the Liberal-Democrats are running campaigns based on the fact that they know they aren’t going to win the election. They are campaigns based on damage limitation for Labour and making hay while the Nick Clegg sun shines for the Liberal-Democrats but neither party has based their promises on truth.<br />
<br />
The Conservatives have based their promises on truth because they know they will have to deliver them come 7 May.<br />
<br />
If you want economic recovery, if you want job creation, if you want change and you can handle the truth then vote Conservative on 6 May.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629899052085017230.post-24232902035654477162010-04-26T20:53:00.000+01:002010-04-26T20:53:35.334+01:00The Fib-Dumbs in Darlington No1On receiving Lib-Dem candidate, Mike Barker’s election address I note that he will not have an outside job, I trust his shop will be on the market soon or perhaps he isn’t that confident of winning. Surely he would not employ a manager and remain a director thus emulating Alan Milburn?<br />
<br />
He speaks eloquently about help for local business, yet cannot find a Darlington printer and goes to Eaglescliffe and worse still Oldham, neither a help to local business or particularly Green as another of his promises fall by the wayside.<br />
<br />
He goes on to mention the “Old Parties” yet on the same leaflet describes the Lib-Dems as “stronger now than at any time since 1929”, hardly new politics then!<br />
<br />
He says that the Tories will scrap schools building projects, but David Cameron has no plans to cancel schemes where contracts have already been signed. As a Town Councillor perhaps Mr Barker could inform us as to whether this was signed before the election was called, if not then the money could already be gone as well he knows or is it as I believe just another lie another scare tactic. <br />
<br />
A vote for the Lib-Dems will raise your expectations with their easy talk only to let you down by their actions.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
