Do Conservatives target Ed Balls because they know he has got it right?

[ralf]

lol...he's targeted because he's a big fat soft target..

[Foolishwriter898]

It's Labour's fault we are in this mess....why anyone would ever vote for them again is beyond me

Brown and Balls were directly responsible for almost .destroying the UK economy. They were, and are, not fit for purpose.

Remember Australia did have the UK's problems so it was not, as the liars say, a "World Crisis".

[agreeablehealth893]

Because during the last Liebour government he proved himself to be fiscally inept and doesn't have a leg to stand on where the economy is concerned.

The only sensible Labour minister was chancellor Alistair Darling ....but he was overruled by Brown and Balls which is why our economy went over a cliff!

[dick.thepenman]

He hasn't got it right,borrowing more and more money and paying out more and more in benefits to foreigners is not "getting it right" or the last labour government would still be in power and we would be living in shangri-la

Good question. So far the Tories have "given" us

£107000 per annum gift to each and every miulti-millionare living in the UK
£42 per annum tax relief for each and every person working for the National Minimum wage
Access to higher education only available to the wealthy
The bedroom tax (spare a thought for Her Maj)
Mass unemployment
Mass homelessness
Mass Repossessions
Utter capitulation to the EU
Savage cuts in health spending (Especially the most vulnerable psychiatric and elderly patients who have nowhere to turn)
Those in most need of social care thrown on the scrapheap
Massive increases in domestic fuel prices.
Wind turbines blighting the most beautiful parts of Britain
Industrial production exported to China and Asia to exploit virtual slave labour
Tax avoidance by multinational companies overlooked and actively encouraged
Pension funds continue to be ravaged by the exchequer
Green belt decimated as planning laws scrapped
Parliamentary expenses continue to be openly fiddled by corrupt MP's
Government controlled Internet snooping of private individuals
Government control of the news media
Increased level of immigration
Treble dip recession
Criminally corrupt bankers receive knighthoods and entry to the Lords
Etc Etc Etc.
Meanwhile Ed Balls has opposed all of the measures that the selfish Tories have imposed upon us.




But remember, " We're all in it together"

The Tory "Blame Labour Mantra" lost all of it's credibility with the 5% tax cut for the rich. That really revealed where the government's priorities lie

Labour got us in this mess so they are right to keep having a go at them.
