Debt
11:37am Wednesday 17th March 2010 in
THE UK economy has become much weaker under Labour and the Conservatives. Both have let personal debt soar, rather than control our economy.
This gave people the impression that they were better off than they really were.
Another aspect of the US economy which the UK can do without. If the Government had run a tight ship and encouraged people to live within their means, we would not be in the state that we are now in.
I would encourage local people to vote Liberal Democrat at the forthcoming General Election – it is time for a change.
Councillor Ben Ord, Chairman, Spennymoor Liberal Democrats.

I wonder if a letter from me encouraging people to vote for the British National Party would be printed in HAS. Might give it a go but I wont be holding my breath.

"Have you ever thought of a new career as a comedian Adam? You are such a funny guy after all"
People, at first, wrote Hitler off as a funny little man and look what happened there!.
Adam is right though, if people want real change and vote for the BNP then we'll have no more free elections or free speach (they'll be banned!) and we'll know just what it was exactly like living in Germany under Hitler or Russia under Stalin.

Its the labour and trade union funded UAF who are trying to use FORCE & Violence to get the BNP banned, Its you lovely lefties who used Anti terror laws against an 79 yr old at the Labour party conference for spraking out againt Blair. Its the degenerates of Nu Labour who have made the UK the most spied on country in the world , with the UK having more CCTVs than any other nation. Its your Labour party that wanted to lock people up WITHOUT charge or representation for up to 90 days, Incase they may be enemies of the state. Its your beloved labour party that has added over 200 new offences to the statutes, You can now go to prison for putting your bin out on the wrong day. In this country that Labour has fouled they now send pensioners of 90 years to prison for not paying their council tax.
Hi Mel, you wrote:- "Have you ever thought of a new career as a comedian Adam? You are such a funny guy after all" People, at first, wrote Hitler off as a funny little man and look what happened there!.

And you two DARE to condemn another party as being repressive. Such hypocracy, but unsuprising.
