THE TELEGRAPH: The general election campaign will be a “battle of hope and fear” as the Tories call for change and Labour warns against risking the recovery.
As Gordon Brown formally announced the dissolution of parliament, the Prime Minister claimed that the Conservatives could not be trusted with the economy *.
However, David Cameron said the public had a choice between a “fresh start” under his leadership, offering the country a vision of “hope and optimism” rather than five more years under Mr Brown. >>> Andrew Porter, Political Editor | Tuesday, April 06, 2010
*This is a bit rich coming from Gordo, isn’t it? If anyone has had enough time to do something good for the economy, he has. And look at the cock-up he’s made of it! He couldn’t have made a bigger cock-up if he had tried! The state of the economy speaks for itself. And what about all that gold you sold off at rock-bottom prices, Gordo? That cost the public nearly £5bn! You’re a clown, Gordo, a buffoon, and you know it. Step aside! Make room for someone else! Someone else, hopefully shrewder, more astute. You’ve had your chance, and you've blown it. By the way, they might appreciate you more north of the border. Socialism, they tell me, is more appreciated in Scotland than it is south of the border. Run away and play with that economy, and leave us to lick our wounds! – © Mark
