"This is desperate stuff from (them, they) continue to scrabble around trying to find a coherent economic policy. There is no way they can get 350,000 new jobs out of these proposals".
Any guesses who "they" are?
The words were uttered by the Labour minister Tony McNulty on 11th November 2008, and "they" of course were the Conservatives who had just announced their new policy to encourage employers to offer work to recently unemployed workers.
The irony is that G. Brown has just borrowed the proposal from the Tories, but in an evident re-appraisal is now suggesting that where the Tories could not raise 350,00 jobs the government can raise 500,000! The government of course contains the saviour of the world, which makes all the difference.
The moral is that you can believe neither the criticisms nor the promises made by this discredited government as they scrabble around to find any new ideas.
