Look out we're back

Well here it is! After a short summer recess, Shepton in Blue is back and better than ever (well I guess you'll be the judge of that).

What to write about now I'm back? Red Ed and his inability to lead Labour out of the wilderness, Nick Clegg and the rapidly disappearing Lib Dems, phone hacking and the demise of the Screws of the World, the Accommodation review at MDC or the crisis in the Euro mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

I think I'll start with the Euro crisis, I wrote some months ago about Alistair Darling running off to Brussels and signing us up to the European stability package, with George Osborne warning him not to do it, well after weeks of denials from Darling, Milliband, Balls et al, the truth finally came out last week when a freedom of information request revealed that Osborne had indeed demanded that Darling did not sign us up to long term financial commitments after Labour had lost the election but before the new government was in place. Darling completely ignored this and committed us to £billions of support for the beleaguered Euro even though we are not part of the wretched single currency.

Cameron has now negotiated us out of that deal, but that won't happen until 2015 and by then we will have stumped up many billions of pounds in financial aid, I said at the time that Darling should hold his head in shame, he ought to be up in front the beak with all his fellow expenses fiddlers, treason wouldn't be too much of an exaggeration.

It now appears that Portugal may well go the same way a Ireland and Greece, with Spain not far behind, and thanks to Darling and his cronies we are now mixed up in the whole sorry mess. If that isn't enough, we then get Balls and Milliband sounding like a stuck record with their "too deep and too fast" mantra regarding the cuts, this sorry pair backed up by their leftie friends in the BBC, force this diet of negativity down everyone's throats at every opportunity, the new BBC chairman Chris Patten has already said as much and intends to change it. The last thing this country needs is constant negative carping by the discredited Nu Labour luvvies, a diet comprehensively swallowed by our local left wing apologist Chris Inchley.

 The fact is that the coalition government have succeeded in preventing this country going down the Swanee alongside Ireland and Greece, the economy is growing and being re-balanced with jobs being created in the private sector at a greater rate than they are being lost in the public sector, I'd rather the whole lot just said thank you for getting us out of the mire and then shut up for ever.
