General Chat

Well I do think many people are reaching the end of their tether and depending on what George Osborne, who is such a financial wizard that he only needs to do the job of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on a part time basis, does in the budget this month, people will at long last say enough is enough.

Come on Jock OneFoot, surely we are made of stronger stuff than that.

Is it not time we started the Revolution????

Robert, the arrogance of many of our modern day politicians is such that the response would probably be, who do these people think they are - do they not realise that we know what is best for them :-|

If every aggrieved person in the UK - there are millions- wrote to David Cameron surely he would have to listen.

Tax it or sell it on as Beef :-D ;-)

Here we go - more 'Jobs for the Boys' - or 'quango's'.

I bet the 'crowd' will consist of business 'leaders', and various cronies of MP's - so, for example, schooling will be biased even more towards what businesses want, and less towards giving children an all round education.


and part of the funding will come from the National Lottery!!!!
I thought the lottery was to pay for things the government thought 'unworthy' - like hospices and play areas, seems like they now consider themselves a 'worthy ' cause.


:-| :-P

you have a goat - bet they'll put a tax on it!!!

They dont even listen to themselves :-|, so why listen to anybody else....

They say and promise "The People" yeaaaaah whatever :-P :-P

Gets my goat !!

ecky thump you are right

Pigs (Three Different Ones) (Waters) 11:26

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

just saw pig fly across te sky :-D :-D :-D

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers seldom die.
I learned that everybody's free.
And that's what the teacher said to me.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends.
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes.
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned our government must be strong.
It's always right and never wrong.
Our leaders are the finest men.
And we elect them again and again.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad.
I learned of the great ones we have had.
We fought in Germany and in France.
And some day I might get my chance.
That's what I learned in school today.
That's what I learned in school.

T.P.

Its in the Sunday papers
Its in the daily news
Its in black and white, so must be right
They'd never lie to you.

How can any of you have such a low opinion of our beloved honest and upstanding politicians, you would think that most of them were a bunch of, deceitful, lying, devious, money grabbing, two faced hypocrites :-D :-D :-D

The simple answer is "No" they never have and never will,once they,ve had your vote (Whichever Party) it,s "Pull the ladder up Jack, I,m in the Dingy"**M**

AnnC, You no that's not true, They consider themselves above "the people" all of the time it's just at election time that they are prepared to stoop down to our level to gain a vote, That's where Gordon Brown got his smile from ;-)

They all smile with gritted teeth when appealing to the electorate for your vote,

Roy

they never listen to the people because once they are elected they consider themselves above "the people"

We deserve better than trite gimmicks from any government.

MPs who have the unfortunate privilege of looking after our wellbeing, think they are very clever & are masters of evasion. Democracy demands more of citizens than a passive role between elections.

Battered, bruised & bewildered, we await in vain for a bit of sanity.

Human rights leaders are a pain in the neck
Can't hold a candle to Eye Dee Ess
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Ban the bombers are afraid of a fight
Peace hurts business and that ain't right
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Daily News, daily blues
Pick up a copy any time you choose
Fifty five pee the newsboy's hand
And you ride right along to never, never land

We got to bomb Iran, got to bomb them flat
They're too damn successful and we can't risk that
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

There's millions of people in the freedom fight
Yelling for Lennon and human rights
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Seems like the whole damn world's gone wrong
Saint Maggie Thatcher is longtime gone
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Don't try to make me change my mind with facts
To hell with the graduated bedroom tax
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Lakshmi Mittal is just plain folks
The EU charter is a cruel hoax
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

Theresa May is the woman of the hour
All she needs is just a little more power
How do I know? I read it in the Daily News

(apologies to T Paxton)

Mayfield, I like that comment about "a monkey on a stick" :-D :-D :-D

My problem when I look at the Coalition Government, especially the four monkeys, Cameron; Clegg: Osborne; and Cable - is which one is the "Puppet On A String" :-D :-D :-D

There is no doubt in my mind that if they go ahead with this "Crowd Sourcing" idea or whatever else they decide to call it, this will just give them the excuse to blame the ordinary person when something goes wrong - I call that passing the buck, and governments of all colours are experts at that ;-) ;-) ;-)

If everyone was a floating voter assessing each party at each election, instead of the party faithful who will vote for a monkey on a stick as long as it is wearing the right colour rosette, we might get politicians to listen.

Unless you live in a marginal seat no one gives a fig what you think!

There’s an old saying “people get the government they deserve” while they vote blindly for the same party they selected for “aspirational” or “working class” reasons years ago nothing will change.

It’s a bit like deciding on whether you support Oxford or Cambridge, Man U or City at school because your mates did and for no other reason than habit supporting them for life.

(I’m Cambridge by the way) ;-)
