Tory conference: Pay off credit card debts, says PM

How about we (the hoi polloi) pay off our debts when the government pays off theirs?

It wasn't a U Turn

It has come back to him like a Boomerang.
What with Theresa May and Ken Clarke having a Cat fight, this has to be one of the funniest Tory Conferences ever.

If they could harness all the Hot Gas expended from all 3 of the main party conference's we could heat every home in the country over the winter.

No wonder politicians wonder why NORMAL PEOPLE don't join a political party and only go to the polls when forced to. If only they could stand back and look at themselves.

It has been said that any politician who is honest or knows what he is talking about never achieves a position of power.
No wonder they would be a danger to all the idiots and self seekers we are daft enough to elect.

Rant over, Back to my decorating.

Regards, Handy

wow...brilliant....just proving yet again how out of touch with people he is!!!

Indeed, and to further back this point anyone watch the Pride of Britain Awards tonight.

Where was Cameron certainly not there where he should have been after all Ed Miliband and a few others of his crew were there to see some of the real hero's of our country.

He could of taken a few hours out of his schedule to be there after all was that not an eample of his so called big society.

No wonder he is out of touch

I'm not paying my debts until I'm on 140k a year, 2 cars and 2 houses thrown in, various perks, a job lined up with a private company as an advisor, a gold plated pension that starts as soon as I stop being an MP/leader and a vast personal fortune.

Until then I aint paying!

Unfortunately government debts are our debts in a democracy. The problem is the level of lies and deceit that our self proclaimed betters try to foist on us all.

I would suggest that they all start to lead from the front. Every prime minister since the start of the 20th century has promised "jam tomorrow" everyone of them has failed and failed you and I. Sadly Tories are probably the worst, the barefaced lies of Edward Heath took us into the EU, whilst the barefaced lies of T Bliar took us into Iraq and conflict with the whole Arab world.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if everyone did as he is suggesting and paid off ALL their credit card bills, would that not mean the CC companies lose a vast amount in interest and quite possibly end up going out of business as all they'd be doing was offering interest free loans?

It would also reduce the liquidity of the economy and further dampen consumer demand, thereby leading to more job losses.

Rapid back pedal.

BBC News - Tory conference: Cameron rewrites credit card call

Ostensibly:

Part of the speech was re-written at a late stage to remove a call for households to pay off credit card debts amid Downing Street fears Mr Cameron would appear out-of-touch with ordinary voters.

Oh - so it wasn't just because doolally Dave was about to utter a load of botty-water, then?

Which is True, Just goes to prove he's talking out of his hat as usual.

I'd have located the orifice several feet lower.

Unless, if we were all debt free (wouldn't that be nice - But never going to happen for me). Then we would all have extra disposable income to cushion us from the recession in the undoubted increase in Taxation he would levy.

... if only to make up for reduced VAT returns.

Who runs the Tory think tank?
