You Must Do As I Say

Milliband now reckons payday lenders are running riot through our communities, on the other hand the Wonga boss reckons 90% of customers are happy and there is only a 7% default rate.

I'm not sure Milliband sees us as at all intelligent. Using emotive phrases like 'Down to her last nappy' (but probably plenty of fags and mobile phone usage left) and "she had been forced to give her mobile phone to her mother because she was getting 15 calls a day2 (Obviously not heard of the off button) why exactly is his game plan? I can't see him promoting any viable alternative and whilst I would agree tighter regulation would not go amis he seems to forget the fact that people have been getting dodgy loans for centuries, just they dont get broken legs from Wonga if they dont pay (Well not yet anyway)

and he is still banging on about freezing prices of a public floated company, communism at it's best. Red Ed certainly seems to be showing his lefty credentials now.

....I'm not sure Milliband sees us as at all intelligent.....

That's OK. I don't see him as intelligent either. Educated maybe but one should never confuse the two.

If you think about it you'll find it's generally the Parties that are in power who hold the 'You Must Do As I Say' card

it's called Legislative Powers

Yes and Labour are very good at introducing hundreds of them to control this as we found out from the Blair/Brown regime.

I am simply pointing out Milliband will be off on the same foot. (And I am sure you are very aware of what I meant)

Blimey ymb!

Why on earth are you so confident of a Milliband election victory.

I'm sure that 90% of the customers of drug pushers are happy too and I'll bet they have a much lower default rate!


Nice try YMB but I'm not sure letting Wonger and their chums set the criteria on which they should be judged is exactly the best way to proceed
