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.

Yes, that's right, pump house prices and hope for the best.
Bollox to the rest of the economy, get the feelgood factor into place.
Don't mention the 1 hour contracts
Don't mention the social dumping (immigration)
Dont mention the real cut in wages
Dont mention real unemployment
Dont mention the real costs of welfare
In fact, airbrush all the real problems away, cos this bunch of incompetants are incapable of solving anything.

People moving increases demand in the economy
1 or 0 hour contracts have been around for years and around 80% of those workers like the system because of its flexibility
You are bound to get cuts in living standards in a recession if you want to get out of it. The alternative is deeper into debt.
Unemployment rises in a recession.
Welfare costs need to be reduced.

Mark Pritchard, the Conservative MP for The Wrekin and former secretary of the influential 1922 Committee, told an undercover reporter that he could use his “network” to set up meetings with politicians in countries where he had parliamentary connections.
Mr Pritchard sits on official parliamentary groups for many of those countries where, in return for payment, he was offering to broker investments and to arrange meetings with senior government figures.
Parliamentary rules ban MPs from seeking to profit from their positions and warns politicians to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Mr Pritchard also stands accused of using a Nato parliamentary assembly to discuss business opportunities with contacts.
The MP suggested that the undercover reporter, posing as a foreign businessman, should invest £10 million in a group of boutique hotels in Albania. Mr Pritchard was formerly the chairman of the all party parliamentary group (APPG) for the country and is still a member of the committee.

MPs have come under attack for getting taxpayers to cover the costs of their energy bills.
Some 340 MPs have used the parliamentary expenses system to recoup the cost of heating their second homes, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Bills costing more than £1,000 were submitted by 41 MPs, while 78 made claims for £500 in the 12 months up to March this year, its analysis found.
The claims do not break any parliamentary rules, but come at a time of heightened tensions over the spiralling cost of gas and electricity.
One MP claimed more than £5,000 to cover electricity and heating oil for his esta
