Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

This is me.
Your post "Fiscal Cliff” in perspective, makes its own point.
Just shows how the US debt hole just keeps getting bigger.
The UK debt is just the same, with the government stating that borrowing is shrinking, but conveniently don't mention that they are still borrowing far more than the country is earning, and coupled with the interest on existing debt, we are digging almost as fast as the USA.
Most of the worlds countries are doing the same.

Inflation is a stealth tax which has been used by successive governments to lower the level of national debt.
Here's the UK position, expressed as a percentage of GDP. Fortunately, we don't have any wars to finance at the moment. I think the chart is a little out of date, and currently the debt level is between 70% and 80%.
And here's the US position. Much worse than ours imo.

i'll defend the poles, for reasons other than my grandparents came from there ..... i guess in "idiot's" view they should never have been allowed in, notwithstanding that they made a success of their lives
we have a small group of poles in our little town, and as far as i can determine they work very hard indeed ...... certainly, about 6 of them run a small car-wash enterprise .... this is slowly growing thanks to their service both in greeting you and the work they do.
in london, many of the artisans and small/medium-sized building companies are polish .... our project meant that it was put it out to tender .... the winner was a polish company, which wasn't the cheapest, but had by far the fewest "grey" areas .... they worked very diligently and to an excellent standard .... i would certainly use them again
in conclusion, "idiot" spouts absolutely garbage yet again with his preposterous sweeping generalisations

UK should learn from Australia and Canada, and focus on choosing immigrants not t be chosen by low level workers and those who come to use/misuse NHS to treat their costly illnesses free of charge.
Cameron and allies have not lived with normal people so cannot not understand .., IMO

"viilage idiot" - you really do live up to the sobriquet i have awarded you ..... you talk out of your rear end without knowledge of the facts, though that rarely bothers you ..... as all the work on my project was supervised and passed off by my very good architect, i KNOW absolutely that it was first class workmanship
as for our local car-wash guys, my first-hand experience also confirms the quality and value of their work, and as they are working on "proper" sites and not from the back of a van, i am quite sure they pay their rent, taxes and all the usual crap
i think you would be happier if you lived among the white supremacists in south africa
