And then, we get Grant Shapps as Housing Minister
they are all useless to varying extents

Oh sorry, I thought the coalition were still supposed to be running the economy. They were going to eliminate the deficit within one parliamentary term and growth would happen as if by magic. They now admit they need at least two terms ... meantime debt has gone up and growth down.
Great, this plan A, isn't it ?
Prior to the banking collapse, Labour's deficit and debt were perfectly manageable and Darling even coaxed some growth after it.
If you want talk about opposition's plans, maybe you can tell us what Gideon would have done about the banks, seeing as he spoke out against bailing the banks out but never said what he would have done instead.

Its because he mentioned that the Labour party didn't state what their plans for the economy would be.
ElB responded with the fact that the Tory party didn't have a plan for the economy when they were in opposition either.
And that prompted a foot stomping hissy fit in a true Violet Elizabeth Bott style.
No, I don't really understand it either.

You need to brush-up on political movements a bit. I don' t think you''ll find the SWP ever supporting my views which, for a start, include acceptance of a market economy. But then, I guess anyone to your left is a total commie pinko in your view, yes?

Jessops invested a substantial amount in print technology just as the market all but collapsed, and again, there were cheaper alternatives available.
The unending price-cutting model, as illustrated in The Wal-Mart Effect by Charles Fishman, eventually loses jobs and decreases quality.

And unless there was some sort of a miracle in the last quarter, we'll be back into recession soon, IIRC.
