Call Me Dave has spoken and now sees the horrible truth viz-a-viz the hole in which Britain's finances have disappeared. Richard North, EU Referendum, has posted on the fact that Call Me Dave seems 'taken aback' by the scale of things, yet thoughtful, well-informed people have been saying this for some time - witness Burning Our Money back in March and Christopher Booker (linked to in Richard North's post) back in April.
In his speech Call Me Dave says: "We have known for a long time that our debts are huge. Last year, our budget deficit was the largest in our peacetime history. This year – at least according to the previous government’s forecasts – it is set to be over 11 per cent of GDP. Today, our national debt stands at £770 billion. Within just five years it is set to nearly double, to £1.4 trillion. That is some £22,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. We knew this before." Err, if he 'knew this before' one has to ask why the feigned surprise?

I heard his speech earlier, what an absolute tosser. He was ranting about a fairer society, whos society? Spending Billions on foriegn aid whilst expecting British taxpayers to work and suffer does not equate to a fairer society. the Condems knew exactly what was in store when they took office, it is common knowledge just how much debt Labour left for them, just as it has been reported how much they were throwing around like confetti. Labour started the process of destroying Britain and Clegghameron will continue but use a diferrent rhetoric.
Of that SP, we can unfortunately be only too sure!
