Take competitiveness out of EVERYTHING halfaperson Well they have created more cycle paths and lanes for us which I think we all know is a good thing. raveydavey The raping and plundering of company pension schemes to the extent that most have now shut up shop. Hospital Superbug infections. The mess that is public transport. Bleeding the motorist dry. Ever increasing crime. Sold out to Europe without the referendum they promised. Steady chipping away of our civil liberties. Fawning over minority interest groups whilst ignoring the majority. Governing by soundbite - and then not doing what they said they would. I've said this before and will repeat it here. My politics have always been left of centre. I am still a paid up union member. I believe in the British worker. I will never vote Labour again while the current group of chancers have anything to do with the party of Bevan, Hardie and MacDonald. halfaperson Aye but what about the cycle paths. It is getting harder and harder to defend them so i aint going to bother. On the offensive i would say that taking us to war on the back of a blatent lie is the most offensive thing they have done and will be their lifelong legacy. I think the pension theft thing is a global thing ravey but by crikey it gets me angry. raveydavey Oh, I forgot their total and utter failure on immigration, which since 1997 has completely and permanently changed the ethnic make up of this country. nlag Too many bloody cycle paths eddiesleftfoot Tuition fees - wrong any way you look at them. War WMD Sleaze Immigration 10 years or so ago the most hated and mistrusted people were estate agents, double glazing salespeople etc but current politicians make those look positively paragons of virtue.

And soon the welsh will have free parking at all their hospitals......I wonder which mugs will be paying for the loss of that revenue. Everyone outside of England must be pissing themselves laughing   raveydavey Still, on the plus side, it can only be a matter of time before the  immigrants start to pass straight through England on their way to Scotland or Wales can't it?

Yes but they'll be doing it on New Cycle Paths   nlag 2 things Baldy: 1) 30Mill is gonna get you for going off topic   2) raveydavey I forgot the fact you can't find an NHS dentist for love nor money now, despite them putting NI contributions up.... wewantourdarbyback ridiculous amounts of debt for those who went to uni in 2006 and 2007 but anyone before or after either paid less in the first place (before) or gets some of the money back (after) WTF is with that nlag This is an old article, but given todays news that Gold has reached a new high....Relevant I think......I alluded to this gross act of incompetance earlier in this thread. This is how Brown operated. A law unto himself, a man not prepared to take expert advice in his pursuit of personal ambition. This will possibly prove to be the biggest economic bungle in British political history, mentioned almost in passing in parliament behind a smokescreen of lies and half truths...And this prick is running the country now. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article1655001.ece raveydavey Ah yes - the old selling of the gold reserves to buy Euros. Sound planning that. A similar fiscal policy to flogging the family silver to fund a last minute week in Benidorm with 2* accomodation allocated on arrival in a "lively" part of town raveydavey raveydavey wrote: I forgot the fact you can't find an NHS dentist for love nor money now, despite them putting NI contributions up.... I was at the dentist today. An old filling has started to break up, so I need an inlay (a fancy name for a crown). So the remains of the  filling was drilled out (ouch!), an impression taken (just like that) and a temporary filling put in place. I have to go back in a fortnight for the inlay fitting. Cost to me? £198. And thats on the NHS. Not counting the two days holiday I'll have had to have taken as my dentist only works 10-4. FFS. I'm fortunate enough to have worked a bit of overtime last month so I've got the cash, but if I hadn't the options available would have been a "rough and ready" partial filling, replacing the part of the filling that had broken away. No guarantee, no idea how long it would last. Or an extraction. Either of which would cost £44.60. My dentist was quite apologetic about the government set charges and did comment that he was seeing an awful lot of people going for the cheap option, depite it being poor quality, short term dentistry. Don't forget that this is another of B-liar and Browns "improvements" that your taxes are funding....just check the deductions section of your payslip at the end of this month.   30 Mill Quote: So the remains of the  filling was drilled out (ouch!), an impression taken (just like that) and a temporary filling put in place Def made me larf and smile - your best work in a long time Ravey        everythingleeds.myfastforum.org Forum Index -> Current Affairs Page 1 of 1
