Hi all,
Just a note to say that we are a new powertool company. we sell top
brand names like makita, bosch, festool, dewalt, milwaukee, fein and
loads more so check us out http://www.toolbritannia.co.uk

God with a terrible pun in the name like that, what can one say?

I guess if you sold water bits and pieces for ponds and swimming pools you
would be Pool Britannia. Just watch out the co op bank might sue you about
the use of Britannia.

For spamming, it would be Fool Britannia.

Cool Britannia was not the invention of Tone, it was the invention of the
Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band back in the late 60s.

Go and check.

I really think you lot are being unfair. The FAQ does forbid commercial
advertising - but it's not in the same place as the usual newsgroup

was right at the time. I often wonder what sort of pigs ear some of us would

True, but not the main point. But when someone decides to take away

That's easy - where shall I start...

He was a complete ****** who took us into 2 unjustified wars (Gulf War I was
justified IMHO as the Kuwaities were our friends (politically)).

Gulf War 2 was not justified IMO.

Even less justfified was the Afghan shenannigans.

I could go on - but the moral objections and the fact the tosser wasted an
unbelieveable amount of my money on those two little excursions of vanity to
the world stage makes me wish to see him banged up for war crimes.

Don't get me started on management of the economy under his "leadership".

The bloke was an all round complete **** and smarmy with it. I do not think
I have ever hated a PM as much as that insidious little grinning weasel.

Then there was all the Big Brother stuff - communications monitoring, ID
cards (another waste of money).

Then we could get on to the "little stuff" like Part P just to get back on

Given these were to support the US, do you *really* think any other likely

Obviously you were.
The first few years it was just the continuation of the Conservatives
policies and as you say times were good for many.

Then it fell apart as people found they couldn't just keep borrowing.

There is also the minor issues like he caused the pensions crisis,
deliberately bankrupted rail track and British energy amongst others.
Swiped billions out of the high tech industries slowing down the countries
move to a better infra structure, etc.

Right. So by that reasoning, the current mess is just a continuation of

But of course like all Tories you take the credit when things go right but
blame everyone else when they go wrong.

It was TB and Gordon that started those policies.
However if the current policies work we will get back to growth without

So you're an expert in this too. Perhaps you should get a job as head of
one of those banks - be easy with your obvious qualifications.

Not every major EU economy is involved international financial services to
the same extent as the UK.
