Thing is guys, this country has been bankrupt since WW2, the whole country is operating in Bankruptcy, money is worth nothing, cos there is no gold or precious metals to back it up (try and go into a bank and ask for £10 of gold for your crisp tenner as promised on the bank note, they'll kick you out and lock the doors :lol, and that's why there are so many laws to enslave us to get our hard earned cash, so that the few rich can get richer and keep us "normal" people (I keep hear us getting called this) quiet and busy trying to survive. Makes you wonder how it all keeps going eh?

Just my thoughts I felt necessary to share with you.:smilewinkgrin:

your right ken your not wrong

this a pretty good summary of whats going on and wont change whatever party gets power

 

[Ken Bruty]

Phew! I always worry about making these comments, as some people really freak about it, but, we do need to know what we're dealing with I reckon. Otherwise we give all our freedom for someone else to control :mad2:

maggie didnt join the eu mark, it was heath

maggie had to go and try and rescue the crap deal he got for us, she did very well in getting us consessions and managed to recover the bulk of the money we paid in up to that point

problem is those consessions were only temporary and we are back to paying in more than we recieve

we were better off before we joined the eu and traded across the world, particularily with new zealand and australia

Shame to see brown go, after the poisoned chalice he was left by tony blair, I personally think he has done not bad, hes not perfect, no one is - neither is his party.

But id rather have him of running the economy than george osbourne.

If you think these times we have just went through were hard - the double dip that is coming will do no good.

just hope we can come independant now! lol

Perhaps another women in charge may sort out the house keeping

Even the uni grants have been messy twice leaving students without cash for books!

there's no such thing as a grant anymore Dan. they're all loans. if you don't have the financial support (rich parents) to pay for your university education, you have to borrow money from the student loans company to pay. and then you have to pay it back when you start earning more than 15k a year. seems a bit of a con to me. and this all started in 1997, the year Labour got into power and the year before I started university :mad2:

it's all supposed to be means tested, so the rich have to pay for it all, but the means testing was biased when I started uni. my dad was on 30k a year at that point (teaching for 30 odd years had helped) and so I was way out of the threshold for any form of fees support. I could have a loan for however much I wanted, but none of it would be supported by the Local Education Authority.

my dad's 30k a year had to support a family of 4 plus a 1 year old baby.

there is no simple solution to any of the problems that we have in this country, but I do know the politicians are making a right hash of finding any solutions. it's time the people took control

Well said but the people will never take control because the majority of the country are just too lazy and have a don't care attitude.

I think due to all the hung parliament problems, the majority of voters will lose any faith they had in the voting system as it looks like we will have a PM who was no body voted for. As it is only 55% of people who can vote actually bother.

I just hope it all gets sorted ASAP and I hope its not a Conservative government as they destroyed the North East last time by taking away our jobs and our industry.

For a view on Geopolitics that will take some time to digest and believe.

Very educational and addictive.
