Just turned on newsnight. Ed Balls mini me is on....again promising to put 2 1/2 billion more into NHS than the current government.

Thing is no one knows how much this government is going to put in....so question added (sensibly) how much will it be and where from....

He is a card that Ed Balls isn't he....God help us if he ever actually becomes chancellor!

Osbourne says the economy is strong and can afford his 2 billion extra.

1.3 billion is coming from other government depts who have made savings and 700 mill from other health depts.

Almost election time isn't it, this funding won't last long and we'll be back to cuts again once Tory-UKIP coalition government is in...

Bingo, it's the run up to an election, hence the huge promises. Also, has anyone else noticed the fuel prices conveniently falling too?

The government play waaaay more mind games on us than we realise.

Our economy went down from AAA to AA under this government, it's strong i guess but not as good as it used to be. Just pointing out the lies i forgot to mention in my last post.

Falling fuel prices are purely linked to the world oil/gas price....Basically Saudi over producing to deliberately drop the oil/gas price and make US shale gas less viable.....

How is it then that in the past large drops in the price of crude oil have not been passed on at the pump?

The oil price drop is certainly a factor but such drops are definitely not always passed on to the consumer. This time they have been, for some reason. I wonder what influenced that decision.

.

We ask that Saudi keep pumping out the oil over supplying the market by 6 million barrels a day for lots of reasons.

They ask us for favours all over the middle East like Iraq, Iran and isis and Syria...

"How would you all run this economy?"

Well, Government can stop giving themselves privileges for a start. They retire and get a state pension the same amount as what we get and at the same age. Their expenses need to be cut right back to basics, no freebies on behalf of the tax payer either. No bloody pay rise in times of austerity measures either.

I'd collaborate with the rest of the worlds governments so that companies cannot get around paying tax.

Nobody would allowed to profit from war, illness or anyone suffering, all that money goes directly towards helping those who need it instead (if anyone would bother causing suffering once it becomes non-profitable).

Forgot i was chatting and this is taking too long lol, er what else needs sorting? I can do it haha... i live in fantasy land where everyone has their basic needs met and nobody struggles.
