He did give his 'advisors' a 24% pay rise two days before he resigned as P.M., a mere coincidence that their pensions are linked to final salary. As Dave informed us, it was to reflect added responsibilities.

Isn't the widening of the gap between the haves and have yachts mostly down to the side effects of QE, rather than Cameron's policies? Confused

True Stow...but Cameron's economic policies widen this gap...which Ioppose

Facts  • September 13, 2016 12:51 PM BST 


One of the worst PM's in recent history. His record whilst in power was despicable .He has created a more divisive society, with  the gap between the haves and have nots wider than ever. A millionaire who has shafted the working class ,the less fortunate and the sick and disabled. And he ( and Osborne) just walk away. They knew they could get away with all the austerity measures, because they hurt the lower classes and ' they' don't vote Tory, so there was never an risk of the Tories not being in Government.
Obscene.


I agree Facts, he has been the worst leader we have had in my lifetime.

I would add to above. Trying to split the UK up by offering Scotland a referendum

Gay Marriage(some of us think this is immoral)

Our sex laws have become far too vindictive, they challenge justice. I would accept them in the case of children but not adult females
there is a magnitude of difference between these two crimes.

We are also out of the EU because of Cameron, I think we had to so in all honesty I cannot condemn him for that,

and it was a democratic vote.

But anyone who thinks it has harmed our country, has one person to blame Cameron!

The referendum that will get us out of the EU was the best thing that happened to Britain since the health service. Let's just make sure that Chairman May makes good on it.

in the spirit of meritocracy who could in all honesty offer a job to a bloke who 10 years ago hadnt had a job in the real world and done nothing in them 10 years to suggest the world was missing out on him been PM,theres no one telling me that any job offered to him couldnt be done better by 1000,s of others,this is what the privileged few really mean by meritocracy

As well as giving us the referendum, the removal of the obligation to purchase an annuity was one of the best moves  from any government I can recall.
Report Stow_judge • September 13, 2016 7:58 PM BST
While the rest of Europe responded to the economic crisis by imposing greater regulation on business, Cameron embarked on significant deregulation. Crucially, he made it far harder for employers to be taken to a tribunal over spurious claims. He offered £2,000 reductions on National Insurance bills for small businesses. He cut corporation tax. He created incentives for companies to hire staff. More people were employed in this country than at any time in our history. Six private-sector jobs were created for every public-sector job axed by government.

One can only assume that those claiming Cameron was the worst prime minister in living memory must have been born after 2007.
Report ebulGery • September 13, 2016 8:35 PM BST
You should be where I am Stow

Most of these jobs are part time, or just on contract. There is very little work.

My opinion is there has been too much austerity, there are incredible amount of people do not claim any benefit.


I am now a pensioner so was born a tad before 2007, still it is all opinion.

How can anyone possibly consider Cameron to be worse than Blair or Brown?  History will definitely treat him less harshly than that pair of charlatans.

It does seem to always come down to the Conservatives to clean up the financial messes that we get into. There are always going to be tough decisions to be made. If we don't tackle the debt, the interest payments would cripple the whole country.

As of Q1 2015 UK government debt amounted to £1.56 trillion, or 81.58% of total GDP, at which time the annual cost of servicing (paying the interest) the public debt amounted to around £43bn (which is roughly 3% of GDP or 8% of UK government tax income).

2015?....he was elected in 2010

Any debt Cameron saved by austerity he gave away to the better off in tax in order to get back into power?

We are in trouble because of the Credit Crunch let us be honest, it is not that good anywhere.

I remember where I am in 2008(pre Credit Crunch), see it now, looks we have been through a warSad

He was in power from 2010-2016. We were hugely in debt at the point he took over. Most of it resulted from the financial crisis, between 1998 and 2009, Labour turned a balanced budget (handed over by John Major) into a deficit of ONE HUNDRED BILLION.

If there more people in work than ever before, then a lot must be immigrants.

I would question what is called work, because of this part time contract stuff.

I see a lot of people trying to be entrepreneurial, they do try, how much do they earn.

Not everybody can work for themselves, it depends on the job they do, and the person they are.

Unfortunately I could not

ps

Most of that came from the Credit Crunch Stow.

Still as this is now a political discussion, everybody will just take their political side as always.Sad

At 9.29 on the morning of Thursday, December 2, a relatively innocuous-looking announcement was published by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The note informed those that read it that the UK’s main banking regulator had closed its investigation into the collapse of the Royal Bank of Scotland.


It was 304 words long. The FSA said that it had found no regulatory fault in the actions of the RBS board or its senior managers and that the bank’s near collapse, an event only prevented by £45bn in direct taxpayer support and several hundred billions of pounds of state-backed loan facilities,
was simply the result of “bad decisions”.


They were not the only ones.

Of course Labour always spend more than the Tories. But I think the Credit Crunch was the main contributor.
Of course all you Tories will come back saying Labour should never allowed this amount of Credit. Which is not necessarily untrue?Sad
It was a sign of the times world wide, I would argue...we are still paying for it..
Economics goes in cycles...boom and bust...we are still in bust!

Eye-watering wealth; eye-watering inequality

The 634,000 people who are the UK’s wealthiest top 1% own a staggering £3.59tn between them. The 13 million people in the bottom 20% own £124bn. This means that, on average, if you’re in the top 1% your wealth is £5.66m. But for those in the bottom, it’s a lowly £9,540. And it’s a gap which has widened, year-on-year.
