(not satire – it’s George Osborne!)
Video posted by Labour List:
Osborne managed to beat Michael Howard’s infamous car crash interview – in which he refused to answer Jeremy Paxman’s question a mere 12 times – hands down:

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
Osborne’s response to where the 8 billion will come from in a radio interview on Saturday was that they would come from increased tax revenue as the economy grew. Which is just speculation. In reality, this is an empty promise, which the Tories have absolutely no intention of keeping, just as they haven’t honoured their election pledges from 2010 about ring-fencing spending in the NHS and not selling it off.
Mike over at Vox Political has produced a detailed critique of Osborne’s claims, showing them to be completely vacuous.
There is one way of increasing NHS efficiency and quality of care, and cutting expenditure: ending the PFI, the internal market and the outsourcing of NHS services to private contractors. At a stroke, this would cut much of the useless bureaucracy now soaking up so much on the money spent on the NHS.
It would, however, be the death knell for the Tories, whose paymasters in the private healthcare companies looking to profit from NHS privatisation would be outraged. And as 92 Tory and Lib Dem MPs have seats on their boards or other jobs with them, they definitely don’t want to do anything to upset their employers or ruin their companies.
So Osborne does the usual from a party that couldn’t tell the truth if it wanted to, and lies about giving the NHS extra funding, when all he’s done throughout his term is cut and cut again.

Clearly Osborne is just lying, like Cameron “there will be no top down re-organisation of the NHS”.

bob chewie: I like your comments…. but surely, if you take people off their benefits and leave them to starve, in a short time they won’t be dependent upon the NHS because they will be dead!
re: where is the 8 billion coming from, you mentioned donors… yes, I believe the larger part of this 8 billion will be funded by donors… organ donors… who agree to the NHS having their precious organs once they have been taken off benefits and starved to death……..
For my part, I shall be doing my bit in helping with the funding by donating 3 second-hand organs:: a B3, a Yamaha, and a Farfisa…. 🙂

Dear BBC the point of putting this out is why? Is it to suggest that Labour would be a disaster?
Bias at BBC? Surely not

“it’s a bit rich calling my generation ‘entitled’ when your generation actively promotes the welfare state which requires younger generations to pay for your comfy retirement. A retirement I will add that we will never have because the welfare state is financially unsustainable and will collapse at some point.”
Ah don’t you just love young people eh?

the welfare state is not ‘financially unsustainable’ its easy as pie to sustain…why would you put such a comment ? Money is all about interest rates not about how many gold bars and diamonds you have..that stopped in 1947 when it was all held by the federal reserves,there is not 10000000000000 billion trillion trillion in assets to pay Gatesy’s and Rothchilds yearly interest fund so its all about saying you have more than world has got so you own it..full stop bobchewie,so having a populace where everything is equated to amount you receive is capitalism/democracy ledger book keeping,so sustainable is not only easy as pie but a downright impossibility to get rid of ..unless you want to end money as a worth indicator,bring about a future world change that benefits only human beings of ‘Genuine’ worth (you know those that give a shit about others)
