Depressing
This is just so depressing! When is it all going to end? Will we just have supermarkets left?
next election conservatives will not win more than 150 seats. They have even less of a clue about SME or private enterprise and small business startup than labour.
It is all old money and old boys club.
Can't wait to see the back of them.
I voted for them last time... first thing they did was to raise VAT an wipe out a good few of my clients.
What's that got to do with small businesses?

Jessops and play.com aren't small businesses, so I'm not sure how your rant about the Tories is relevant to this thread.
Surely the removal of two big players from the economy should be good for smaller business competitors who may be able to get some of their business.
Unfair to blame the coalition government for trying to sort out the mess left by 13 years of Labour mis-management.
Every Labour government has ended with it running out of money and the Conservatives have had to sort their mess out.
The Conservitives may well lose the next election, but that doesn't mean they are wrong, most people have no idea about their own finances let alone the country's!
Job losses are always sad, but jersey has its own government, it is not the job of the UK government to worry about jobs in Jersey - they cost the Exchequer enough as it is with hosting aggressive tax avoidance factories.
My thoughts
I was on the streets in 1997 campaigning for Labour. Three reasons:
1. Financial credibility.
2. Ethical foreign policy.
3. 100% commitment to no sleaze.
Thirteen years later and not only had these policies been binned, they'd been stomped all over and incinerated. I handed back my card in 2003 when we decided our foreign policy was going to be "Yes siree George".
In 2010 someone I canvassed with in 1997 knocked on the door to ask for my vote. I said not only was I no longer a member, it didn't seem likely to me I would be voting Labour for at least 10 years.
No reason to change that view. People have short memories and might vote them back in, if they do then say your prayers.
