What’s the matter with Vince?

By tomtom

Is it just a definitive case, of one foot in the grave?

The government’s strategy to boost local enterprise in England got off to a poor start Vince Cable admitted, adding that: ‘It was ‘Maoist and chaotic.’

 Can it recover to help businesses grow? Of course it can Vince, all it needs is someone like you to get out there and sell it, instead of moaning all the time about how it could be if we were all Lib Dems.  We’re not Vince and your performance in office has been a disaster for Lib-Dems. It’s looking like you’ve lost more votes than you’re ever likely to recoup at the next General Election.

  But the big problem for the country Vince, is the fact that disaffected socialists can’t bear to vote Tory.  Whilst their only safe haven  the Lib-Dems is looking distraught with blunder after blunder, as you stick to Lib-Dem doctrinaire stuff,which  fell out of fashion back in the 1920s.  Lib-Dems will never amount to anything substantial in the way of your former Lib-Dem leader’s famous conference aside:  ‘Go back to your constituencies and prepare for government.’  Well maybe they did, but it turned out to be total error of judgement and judgement is exactly what Lib-Dems lack.

  If they had any cokum they’d have stood back from Co-alition with the Tories, for all it did was give Dave ‘n’ Gideon time to bolster the case for the ‘Establishment ‘s eternal right to have the Tories govern in their name. That’s four more years of self inflicted misery, for all the disaffected Lib-Dems, to nurture their hatred of Nick.

 Of course the fact that the real medicine bottle, has not yet had its seal broken, as the palliative measures of low interest rates and the printing of money are given time to work through. However on today’s evidence, it’s doubtful this will come good in time to stem the bogey of rising inflation, that other ‘Bull in the China Shop.’

  It would be nice to think we could grow our way out of this massive deficit without any cuts, but the re-distribution of the deficit, Dave and Gid’s favourite mantra, seems to be a dead duck. It relies on demand and for the immediate future most of the demand side has been met in terms of consumer spending, except on absolute essentials.

  This apart the government could do well to clamp down on the companies who are ramping up prices in an opportunistic way, as they sense a chance to beat the odds by claiming they have no option, when in reality they are just hyping up the ante to raise prices far more than is necessary.

  While in addition to this the bankers look to be intent on carrying on their trade, as if nothing was awry with their business plan. That they can carry out paying huge bonuses when the price of everyday essentials heads for the stratosphere is obscene. Surely they too have to live in the real world of today, which they did so much to nuture before the penny dropped!

Watch this space, I’ll be back!
