HAS THE political world gone completely bonkers?

The financial deficit was once £1 trillion but under this Government it is now an eye-watering £1.3 trillion.

We are apparently far worse off than Greece with poverty and hunger stalking our streets. Yet David Cameron claims that we have got the nation’s finances under control and it seems the EU believe him enough to extort billions of pounds from us because of this illusionary financial success.

With an election looming next year, it is about time our politicians owned up to the truth for once, instead of spoon-feeding us gobbledegook.
