GE Galloway that speech much of this
debate and this budget demonstrates the
parallel universe in which the governing
class in this country are living earlier
in the debate nearly 4 hours ago feels
like four days we had the full Ville the
fu the full music hall
treatment they chanted and they chortled
and they laughed how they laughed and
until their tummies
wobbled about the state we're
in but there were some funny moments
genuinely funny moments Mr Deputy
speaker the funniest of which was when
the Secretary of State
said that the budget had soed the seeds
of growth and
jobs in this Bleak Midwinter which has
now Frozen out the spring in the very
month in which
4,000 grandmothers and grandfathers
froze to death in Britain froze to death
in Britain in 200 and
13 the very month in which millions of
our citizens had to make a choice
between eating and turning on their
Heating the Secretary of State believes
this budget sowed seeds for growth and
jobs no seeds can grow in this climate
The Honorable and right honorable
gentleman opposite should
know the truth is that this budget
produced by a cabinet of
millionaires governing in its own
interest and the interests of a very
narrow class has lost the confidence of
the country indeed the political system
political class as a whole has lost the
confidence of the people who see their
own
situation with mass
unemployment poverty stalking the land
if I take Bradford my own
constituency as a as an almost perfect
example youth
unemployment has tripled tripled in two
years one in8 is
unemployed our child poverty statistics
are the second worst in the country our
schools are the third worst in the
country our hospitals are the seventh
worst in the country our young people
walk the shuttered up streets without
education training or jobs and the
government and others in the media cry
surprise when the devil finds work for
their Idle
Hands the government has done nothing
for Bradford the budget does nothing for
Bradford because Bradford is entirely
beyond their can do I know where it is
I'm the person who just one year ago won
a landslide election result
a byelection of historic proportions and
I defeated your party precisely because
you think that Yahoo politics of this
type is sufficient to meet the gravity
of this
situation come to your seat and join the
debate here's the truth of the matter Mr
Deputy speaker our country is in grave
Danger
it is a country on the
slide which can't keep its pensioners
warm in the winter time but can fly
around the world setting fire to other
people's countries apparently at the
drop of a hat it's a country that cannot
pay for its young people's education
without charging them £99,000 a year to
take shelter from the economic winds and
study at universities thanks to the
Betrayal of the yellow liberal Democrats
opposite me it's a country which cannot
afford and I I've only 15 seconds left
do you know Mr Deputy speaker how many
times in this house just this afternoon
the word immigrant Foreigner alien
foreign migrant has been mentioned
there's no uturn by the government but
there's no deviation to the right so low
that they won't
make George thank you Mr Deputy speaker
and um it's of course a pleasure to
