The cardboard cities of the 1980s...?

From The Metro:

[Gordon Brown] paid tribute to chancellor Alistair Darling and joked about his 'special relationship' with Peter Mandelson but Gordon Brown made no mention of his arch enemy David Cameron during his speech to the party faithful.

He also had no warm words for his wife, Sarah - in public at least - after she welcomed him on to the stage. Instead, Mr Brown was keen to repeatedly condemn a Conservative party he ridiculed as 'wanting' not 'needing' to cut spending and return Britain to the 'cardboard cities' of the 1980s

Yeah wtf was all that about?

Entire cities made of cardboard?

Suppose it beats James May's lego house!

Don't you remember the millions of homeless people, not to mention the frequent outbreaks of bubonic plague that used to ravage our cities before Labour's record investment in the NHS?

I only remember seeing millions of "homeless" beggars since labour started to subsidised their lifestyle with money extorted from workers like me.

Could someone point out to Gordy that the Tories never cut spending in cash terms once in their entire time in office. A couple of years spending fell in real terms.

What is going to happen in the next few years, whatever colour party is in power, will be unprecedented in modern day politics. Cash cuts in spending, year on year for 3-5 years. It ain't going to be pretty.

Spending needs to fall in both real AND cash terms though.

Do you think he really has gone off his brain?

Mark Wadsworth said...

Ross, nope. Completely slipped my mind.

AC1, yup (on both counts).

Sopers, "It ain't going to be pretty."?? T'will be an event of the most glorious rejoincing.

UKIPWM, what's an ECO town?

JH, clearly he has. He forgot to mention the "frequent outbreaks of bubonic plague" to which Ross refers.
