Sacked
Lord Young is the first Tory Peer to walk Cameron’s plank into the political sea of oblivion. Cast adrift faster than Lord Young could say “Who me!” for his candour in contradicting the Coalition mantra of “we’ve never had it so bad”. The elderly Peer had previously served in Mrs Thatcher’s cabinet. His appointment as a special envoy of Cameron’s was not seen as problematic, but all changed when he was let loose in an interview with the Tory Telegraph when he re-invoked the ghost of Harold McMillan (Tory Prime Minister 1957-63), claiming that the UK in the last 10 years “never had it so good”. The Coalition mantra claiming the opposite sounded a bit hollowed post Lord Young’s Telegraph interview.
Ireland
The UK ConDem coalition is bailing out the Irish Banks by giving £7billion of UK taxpayer’s money in loans. It is in our National interest according to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who in the last six months increased VAT to 20%, froze child benefit, abolished Child Trust Funds, sacked 500,000 public service workers and added years to pensioners retirement age, just to mention a few of his objectionable increases in tax and cuts in benefits and services.
Lord Young has not been asked to comment on the Irish Banks bail-out, I wonder why.
