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.

greek .the only problem i have is that i was brought up to be honest.
the men at the top are not so

OsborneDrunk Drunk George Osborne

During the later parts of the budget when it flags a bit, I'm going to speak in the comedy 'black man' voice we all do at Eton.

Watch the Panorama 'PFI' programme again at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0184xg1/Panorama_Whos_Getting_Rich_on_your_Money/

It kicks off by talking about a school that is completely devoid of any light switches. The lights are on permanently and cannot be turned off.

This is 'Barking Mad!" to say the least. The PFI company had absolutely no interest in providing a service, only with making a ton of money.

About 300bn tons of money, actually.

The whole PFI thing is an utter outrage and has been going on for 15 years! There's a Liverpool hospital used as an example, 'built on a cost to your successors bank balance, Mr Prime Minister'. And of course, Gordon Brown and New Labour was only in power for 10 years.

Marmite lorry crashes and turns into jam.

Some people will love this news, others will hate it.

ex . just listing to the program made me fill sick .
this gov and the last are useless and liars .
not one would go on the program .
why have the press not exposed this greed .

the shcool where you can not turn the electric off .
what have all these GLOBAL WARMING FREAKS GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT

Well, at least there's a couple of clips in the programme towards the end, one with Osborne and another with Clegg, where they seem to admit and say that PFI accounting was used to say the government was NOT borrowing money to build these schemes, when in actual fact IT WAS - and at 'inflation linked' Credit Card rates of interest too.

I wondered when watching this, why don't the hospital Trusts just default on their loan repayments?

Q. Who would be liable if they did do exactly that?

A. The hospital trustees themselves or the hospital trust?

ie. Just 'bust the trust' and then let the punters pick up the hospital assets afterwards.

good idea that . but the gov will not let that happen ,
to many skelitons to come home to roost

the money that the PFI are making is obscene and the gov thinks it good for the tax payer what a bloody joke .we may has well all become crooks it pays being honest does not

osborne opening words confidense , well the man is why confidense is falling he is a useless liar what about what he said about PFI in the election run up.

we can not believe a word osborne says and i am a tory more so than him.

This is going to go down well. Expect some more strikes.

"Chancellor George Osborne announces a two year pay cap of 1% for public sector workers"

yes and PFI make billions

3-4% pay reduction ?

.

I was at my local council office today to get a parking permit renewed. The workers there are not going on strike tomorrow, which is suprising as it is a very left wing Labour Borough.

why have labour not spoken out about the PFI we all no why

Tanker,

You say, 'The school where you can not turn the electric off' .

Perhaps a PFI was used at the royal Mint, after all they don't appear to be able to turn the printing presses off.

Another scam.
Anyone see Bercow's 37,000 portrait and coat of arms story,the amount being paid by us the tax payer.
I wonder what a coat of arms for 'Greedy B*****rd would look like, perhaps a fat man guzzling huge wades of money, whilst sticking his middle finger up.
The excuse is that the painting will belong to the country, So thats all right then, I feel a lot better!
