My personal opinion is that Balls is incompetent and dangerous.

He couldn't run a whelk stall never mind an economy.......

No, I am saying it is not an objective piece of journalism. The author has as much a political agenda as I may have, arguably a greater one.

Hence my initial comment about objectivity.

It doesn't need to be an objective piece of journalism to contain factual information that is valid and relevant.

Quite an important day today with UKIP & Lib Dem manifesto launch

No coincidence Labour have been quiet. A strong surge in the UKIP vote polls suggest will eat away at the tory vote, perticulary important in key marginals. The majority of Lib Dem current MPs are fighting battles against conservative challengers so makes no sense to overshadow them today. (Although ironically it could be Labour which topples Clegg in Hallam).

Well I am pleased you accept it is an entirely subjective piece.

There's a huge difference between reporting and opinion writing.

Yes Gordon was an 'economic genius', thats right and therefore Balls is one too;

My mistake, should've read the article you posted better

Ed Balls was the architect of Gordon Brown’s economic policies

which seems to infer that Gordon Brown was an economic genius because Ed Balls is one.

My personal opinion is that Balls is incompetent and dangerous, i haven't hidden this opinion.

This is getting ridiculous. I heavily criticise both Osborne and Balls and yet i'm accused of being pro Osbourne and that no one should be able to criticise him? My god.

I can't actually remember you criticising Osborne. Nowhere near the level you criticise Balls, which is strange because Balls has never been Chancellor. In fact, remember this?

I think Balls would be the worst chancellor out of the lot, i really do, i think he's completely out of his depth. Osbourne on the other hand i think is incredibly competent and incredibly smart. He knows exactly what he is doing
