Ben Delicious writes from London: Now that the silly season of annual political party conferences has ended, we can draw a pretty unpleasant conclusion about the Lib Dems, Labour and the Conservatives: all three have demonstrated that they haven’t got a clue about solving the mess in the economy and, even more distressingly, are prepared to lie about the real reasons why Britain can’t get out of the recession using fancy lingo and dodgy stats.
None of the party leaders, be it Nick Clegg, Ed Miliband or David Cameron, have had the courage to point their finger at the real culprits, the banks, that have not only gambled or misused huge amounts of investors’ money but also conspired to receive a gigantic bailout that has been used to cover up the black holes in their books and never reached the real economy.
Not a single politician during the three useless conferences said it like it is: lenders are working against the economy, making huge profits on the grief of millions and have to be restrained in order to relieve the burden on the consumers.
