  excellent acceptance speech from our new prime minister tonight.
  
  full of the stuff about patriotism( a lot nicked from jfk) but good all the same, similar to the one from tony blair back in 1997.
  
  none of that nauseating stuff that mrs thatcher spouted in 1979.

  Yes liked the bit about looking after the pensioners, I retire in 15 months time he should have sorted it for them by then, but I do wish he had mentioned it before I could have made my mind up who to vote for so much earlier.
  
  
  Only joking, I also thought it was a good speech; just hope he lives up to the promise, only time will tell.

  I'm suprised Colin hadn't thought of this thread and called it Premier Inn!

  Mark, please tell me you didn't seriously think Labour wouldn't make any cuts to public expenditure. Now they are out of office a procession of them have been on tv admitting they would. The 6bn is a drop in an ocean of Labour created debt, borrowings to pay for public expenditure (aka living beyond our means) but is a very real signal to the all important foreign and financial markets that the UK is seriously addressing it finances.
  
  In case you hadn't noticed, yesterday the pound was trading at 1.48 to the dollar. Potentially good for exporters, but nobody else and don't forget, we import most of our stuff and a weak currency makes everything more expensive.
  
  There is a phrase about waking and smelling the roses. The ex-Labour ministers and senior members appear to have done so; far too late for it to be of any help.

  Well, I did think of it Jeane, but thought I`d give someone else a chance. Well done Jeane.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  I prefer to call the new coalition Condem... Which is what they will be in a few months.
