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.

So everything is getting better?

Bloody marvellous economics.

A bit like starving the patient to death, because he/she has been vomiting.


I suppose it keeps the undertakers and grave diggers employed.

Edit.

as you're such a smart-arse with apparent (well-hidden) answers to every problem in this country, what would you have done and why would your unproven magic wand have worked? .....

applauding the policies in france are you? ..... do you stare in wonder at the catastrophic unemployment in spain where they tried to spend their way out of trouble? .... what about italy? ..... even germany isn't exactly booming; go there and look

of course, you seem not to know that if someone is vomiting, the very last thing they need is food, and certainly not sugary pills .... and this uk patient is certainly nowhere near starving to death .... dry bread and water may not be a favourite diet, but it is often exactly what is needed

Cynic,

Engage your brain.

Go back and read what was posted 12-18-24 months ago.

i have better things to do than rummage through your garbage.... your gob is usually open wide enough, so stand on your soapbox and spout away ..... this is TODAY not 12-18-24 months ago

PS.

Didn't know that G. Brown was responsible for France and Germany's problems. Go back and read your own postings.

Just stopping the runaway spending that was going on under Labour. The public sector got far too big under the big spenders. The tax and spend and borrow and spend policies of Labour has to change to spend what you can afford.

I have been assured that you have a brain somewhere even if it is a little addled, why not plug it in.

George is not reviewing his failing policies he is continuing the wrong medicine while the patient is deteriorating.

Not against cutting waste out of the economy, but it would be sensible to evaluate what is waste, and also the rate at which you remove it. Also consider the consequences of proceeding at too fast a rate for party political reasons.

Sorry but if you do not cast a vote your opinion is worthless. Must admit I dont agree with everything the current government does is right but god knows where we would be under labour spending with the eurozone in much the same boat.
Any way changing the subject just got a shock this morning on collecting some euros for some sun in the next few weeks. Wow 1.066494 / £ . Euro strong or the pound weak ? much the same.

George is just continuing the RIGHT policies. Complaining from Labour faithful will not have any effect.

Waste - you will have to ask the labour party about that, come to think of it they do not know the meaning of the word. :-))

George is going to have to shift up a gear but has the right policy.

Please read below Fred and your comments please.

DYOH.

Cyners,

It might sound tenuous, but these are proven policies used by successive past administrations. You might find these links useful:

AEP on currency wars

Inflation - the ultimate stealth tax - an American article, but the concept is universal

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Fred, labour they were great. :-))

fred isn't "labour faithful"; he doesn't vote at all even for the party he thinks is least worst ..... frankly, he's all mouth and trousers and is only capable of wailing and wringing his hands ..... if curing any country's problems of whatever kind was a simple exercise in manipulating or changing this and that, then it would be done in a trice

even gordon brown (not to be confused with george of that ilk) didn't intentionally bankrupt the country ..... with hindsight, he just got it all totally and utterly wrong bequeathing the present crew an augean stable

on the other hand, denis healey certainly got it right, though assuredly many of his policies at the time were more than unpopular ...... he was also ultimately and very correctly highly critical of "slimeball bambi"

hilary ..... many gov'ts try that stunt, but it never lasts for long ..... i know you're old enough to have seen it often enough :-)

And you talk about the Cons looking after their mates, with a 14bn figure above . Do me a favour. lol

Dreams,

Seems a more and more appropriate pseudonym for you.

The image you posted does remind me of the policies of the two barrow boys in charge at the moment.

The dump Osborne in favour of Vince group within the cons party is getting stronger.

The valuation of money spent is yours.

However, I would suggest you make a flow chart of how this present government is spending tax payer's money ineffectively and whose pockets that money is going in the hope that it bolsters their position.

Promises, promises, promises, broken, defeat.

But it is good to see the tory party still have adherents to their latest party lines.

That is until the next u-bend turn!

Is the "boss" still away?
