Ed Balls- Hypocritical, he is

I know I am biased in such a rant against Labour, but never have I seen such a huge flaw in a statement since Gordon Brown called a Labour supporter a "bigot". But with George Osborne releasing news of an extra £2 billion to the NHS, it can be nothing but good news. Can it, Labour? After all, you did mention nearly exactly the same proposal in your 2014 party conference.

But no.... Out comes Ed Balls... And I thought Ed Miliband didn't know what he was talking about. The Andrew Marr Show today gave another perspective to Labours' position as Leader of the Opposition... Hypocritical without justification. That's how low they have gone. Ed Balls heavily criticized Osborne's proposal, for not saying where the money is coming from, fair enough, until you realise that he's going to do so on Wednesday.... If that's not enough hypo criticism for you, check out what he said next...

Mr. Balls believes that this extra 2 billion pounds will come from savings, like the ones used to bail the country out of recession etc... Does the year 2008 ring a bell? Or does the crash of banks make a better bell? Yep, the one party that was responsible for the UK going through one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression of the 1920's, has publicly lauded the party that got us OUT OF IT, that they are spending too much.... That's too much for my mind to take. I struggle to comprehend the sheer lack of common sense in Balls' response.

Okay, back down on planet earth, I realise that as part of the Opposition, he can't commend the proposals. But as part of the Labour party, you must realise that the Conservatives have done the right thing. They have cut until the tills were going again, and then rewarded them. Positive motivation for a failing economy, and just when Labour were complaining of living standards in the UK, BAM, another 2 billion into the NHS. And whilst the Conservatives have had snags along the way e.g. EU and UKIP, but they've done a better job than Labour would've done if they'd stayed in government with the economic policies of a kid with a £50 note in Toys R Us.
