David Cameron talks endlessly about responsibility. Social responsibility. Corporate responsibility. Environmental responsibility. Now budgetary responsibility.
He and Steve Hilton have chosen the wrong 'R'. The big issue is Recession and how to fight it.
Labour's plan has been revealed by Paul Waugh of the London Evening Standard:- THE RECESSION WILL BE DEEPER AND LONGER UNDER THE TORIES.
The Conservatives need to become less detached and more urgent about mitigating the downturn.
P S John Maples told the House of Commons on Monday that the recession had to run its course. The man who fixed the selection of europhile MEPs continued: "Just listen. Bad debts have to be written off, bad investments have to be written off and people and businesses need to repair their balance sheets. The Prime Minister knows that, even if some of his back benchers do not. If that does not happen, there will not be a solid base for recovery." Technically Maples was correct but he was daft to say it.
