Is the UK political left helping the BNP

[audiotech]

Yeah, noone likes to have a Nazi by them sitting in a councillors chair with all the political power of a four-day old grape in a broken fridge... its just a shame that while everyone focused on stopping the BNP getting into elected office, the main parties went off and broke the economy and society as a whole.

The Lib Dems broke the economy and society?

 

[butchersapron]

You waste of space

 

[audiotech]

^^ indeed

Now, about that councillor (not a tory ) you supported?

They would have if they managed to get into power - certainly the councils they run have not been spectacular beacons of how to run local government.

'spectacular beacons' is not how I would describe the Lib Dems, more like a belicia beacon.

It seems that Vince Cable has been acknowledged as the first UK politician to predict the present economic crisis, so who knows what the Lib Dems would have done differently if they had been in government?

Actually Peter Lilley predicted it in 1997, but then he is a weasel and a Tory.

It's a pro lib-dem vote is it now you thick fuck?

Sorry, i meant that number of people who predicted a collapse is huge, as is the number of people who said exactly where the line would break and why.

Not some vague nothingness about an always possoble collapse.

It has been suggested that the Conservatives criticised the transfer to the Financial Services Authority only with the benefit of hindsight, but that is simply not the case. When that catastrophic decision was taken, my right hon. Friend the Member for Hitchin and Harpenden (Mr. Lilley) was shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. In the debate on the Second Reading of the Bank of England Bill on 11 November 1997, he said:

“With the removal of banking control to the Financial Services Authority...it is difficult to see how and whether the Bank remains, as it surely must, responsible for ensuring the liquidity of the banking system and preventing systemic collapse.”

This quote is part of Peter Lilley's speech, i'd be interested in a) what the full speech was and b) what people think this abbreviated speech means.

(Lilley ran a miners support group as well, and he resisted pressure for it to stop providing charity , by the by, so he's got some time from me)

If its an attack on the regulatory system brought about by Brown - which after all has led to this mess, then its entirely prescient. There are other aspects to it which Cable has been more on the ball on, such as personal debt levels, but Lilley did point out the fault in tripartite regulation when it was brought in.

Didnt know about the miners thing either, good to know.

Surely, not, 'I have a little list, Lilley', once seen as a proto-fascist, helping the Miners, surely shome mistake....

 

[butchersapron]

Hang on, i need to re-check this. I may well have the wrong tory.

 

[treelover]

Do you mean Peter Bottomley?, he seemed a good sort, as Tories go

 

[butchersapron]

I think you may be right tl. As i remember it, a hands-off miners welfare group was set up and he (whoever it was) was attacked but stood firm.
