Cameron launches most stinging attack

At 8 am yesterday morning, leader of the Opposition and Conservative party leader David Cameron decided to go back to scoring cheap political points with a speech to city leaders at Bloomberg Space, in the City of London.

Gordon Brown’s 10 years of handling the British economy have been a “complete and utter failure.”

It is the job of the opposition government to attempt to try and scruntise the actions of the government. After all that they want to be running the country and turning their cabinet into first in command and not shadow ministers.

Gordon Brown may have made mistakes and that is for another time, but David Cameron and George Osborne-  are quickly becoming the masters of political rhetoric, and continue to prove to me what disappointing politicians they are.

Rather than offer solutions for the problem, they continue to lay the blame, using every adjective in the Oxford dictionary to attack Gordon Brown. What happened to the bipartisanship mentioned during his party conference keynote speech?

It is all very good talking about regulation but how does he intend to do this? Rather opportunistic I would say.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg criticised Cameron saying that the Conservatives had “nothing of real substance to say about the economic difficulties facing people” and this leads me to another point.

The Liberal Democrats have Vince Cable not just attacking Brown and Cameron, but mentioning more interest rate cuts. It may not be the long term solution but it some sort of a start. It is quite disappointing how Clegg only gets a mention when he is acting as the father trying to calm Cameron and Brown’s bickering. Why are the Liberal Democrats not standing up and offering real solutions to improve their dire poll ratings?

They will not win an election for many years, as they simply have little support in local government and the electorate have no clue what they stand for.

I think that it is about time that British politics adopted American style televised debates with the leaders of all three parties, not just the government and the opposition.  The moderators can ask Brown, Cameron and Clegg specific questions about the economy and make them answer them. Jeremy Paxman would be an excellent moderator. Cameron may just be exposed a little more….

    good reporting, sir, but what or where is “BLOOMBERG, in the City of London”? Do you mean the BLOOMBERG news agency? I never heard of a BLOOMBERG neighborghood in London. Is there one? Just what did that reference refer to? Can you explain to this reader named Mr BLOOM? Thanks.
