My ex-partner’s 4 year old nephew (many moons ago) was in the back of a hire car kicking the front seat. When I turned round to see what he was doing he said `look that way!` ie ignore what I’m doing, I know it’s wrong. Don’t ask me questions i’ll show you how you should think.`
This is very similar to the Labour’s modus operandi.
When there was a so called `boom` and people questioned whether it was sustainable Labour said `Look this way!` (It’s all to do with us)
When the boom turned to bust and people asked who was the culprit they said `Look that way!` (to the global economy)
Now that there’s a massive black hole in the nations finances (structurally caused by Labour) they’re going on about the 5 pledges and the spending priorities they’re saying `Look this way!` (look into my eyes! you will forget about cuts and think about our priorities. Cuts don’t exist)When people ask about how these priorities tie in with any cuts they say `Look that way!` (Take a long hard look at the Conservatives – they’re the evil ones)
Labour are treating voters like children – hopefully voters will be adult enough to ask the right questions and not fall for the same trick twice.
