Welcome back Peter H. I completely agree with you on consumer debt - many MPs (eg Labour John Mann (Bassetlaw), are trying to get the financial businesses to restrict the amount of debt they can pile onto people. Yes expensive designer clothes that are manufactured in the far east (sometimes by children on poverty wages) are a con. There are many issues where we are all in agreement about the problems. We do not always have to disagree with solutions that are suggested by other political parties. Constant cynicism in the media often leads people to think things are worse than they are. This is why I am so worried about people not going on to higher education without checking out the facts. They are told by the press and the Libdems that they cannot afford it - they will be in debt. Student loans are paid back after graduating when you income is above £16k a year, and repayments are graduated according to income (just like a graduate tax?). If you are not working- you pay nothing. People need sensible advice - not political rhetoric - to manage debt. We have many values in common - We would all like to be idealists - but you have a business to run and the Labour Government has a country to run.
