			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How can this man -still- be Prime Minister? He doesn&#8217;t seem to be living on the same planet as us, and wants to start <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5677741/Gordon-Brown-to-keep-spending-high-despite-recession-Ed-Balls-indicates.html">spending even more</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Mr Brown&#8217;s determination to boost spending on frontline services will be underlined with the launch of his much vaunted national plan for public services on Monday.</p>
<p>His Building Britain&#8217;s Future document includes a number of proposals which will require significant Government spending.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Significant government spending? That doesn&#8217;t sound very smart considering today&#8217;s environment! Perhaps if rid ourselves of unemployed immigrants sponging off the state and stopped immigration, we would have a little money spare, but look what he wants:</p>
<blockquote><p>
This will include the announcements of new funding for social housing and the recruitment of 100,000 personal tutors as part of an education White Paper.<br />
&#8230;<br />
He indicated increased spending on front line services such as schools and hospitals, and hinted for the first time that the police may also be protected from the cuts.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Idiot!</p>
<p>And to make matters worse he&#8217;s ignoring advice from the Bank of England, which has done all it can in this situation, and Labour are threatening to remove powers from the BoE:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Last week, Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank, gave warning that the country was experiencing: &#8220;An extraordinary level of public debt, which would require some pretty extraordinary things to be done.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>We need a general election now to get Labour out of power, they are killing this country!</p>
