Far, far more newer cars around, and more expensive models too, these days than when the wicked witch was in charge. Yup, because by holding interest rates down its easy to borrow ten times your annual salary. However its a precarious thing. Maggie used norh sea oil to fnd a consumer boom, She never. She used it to pay the unemployed when her harebrained economic schemes naturally collapsed. Tony Benn described as reckless. One of the greatest legacies gifted to this country, that should have been used to create wealth was squandered. Gordon brown is using consumer credit. Both are finite resources. Bust is on teh way. Its just a matter of time, as north sea oil and credit are BOTH running out... For the past 6 years the right wing has predicted bust, they have been preying for it. It hasn't come. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.555 / Virus Database: 347 - Release Date: 23/12/2003 |

"The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message ... about teh amount of overtimne I never got paid because I never was in a Union, Uh! One rule for one and one for another? If you are entitled to overtime pay then you get it it. Simple. about the amount of tax I have paid when I never used any facilities, not schools, not anything. This is ludicrous. What about the insurance you pay on your car and never claimed in 20 years. My taxes have paid for your kids to go to school, your kids to have their runny noses wipoed by the local GP, your bloody maternity leave. Those kids will pay into the system when you are old to maintain the NHS and social system which benefits you. If you don't want to take those benefits then that your choice.

That has nothing to do with it. The Tory press, which most of it is, can sway public opinion on minor issues. The amount of people I have heard say Blair is full of spin, spin, I lost count of. Ask them what spin? And do they know what spin is? and they go quiet. It is not even half way through a term yet., When the election comes see that people look at the economy and general standard of living. They will vote Blair back in. They don't give a toss about Iraq as they never gave a toss about N Ireland, which was never once an election issue. Are you actually in the UK? Yes. Then look around and stop reading the Daily Mail and listening to that dirty scruffy blond haired ******* who is always on the TV, Boris something.

"The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message ... Jeremy Paxmans book is really fascinatiing. Do you know, teh majority of pliticians - those who pontficate and pronounce on all weighty matters, have done nothing more exciting than being school teachers or sochul wurkahs? Even teh labour party has almost zero members from trades or manual work, and even the conservatives have almost zero members from top industrial management? This old idea that top industrial management only support the Tories. Get real please. During Thatcher many top industrialist supported Labour and SDLP policies. Many would keep shut as if you showed your true colours the gates would close on you and your company. A bad time for freedom under the wicked witch. They are all career politicians, and, a Jeremy points out the majoriy *arte earning more as MP's than they have, in any other job they have held*. Churchill was a career political. he crossed the house twice in order to be where the power was. Today he would be in the Labour party. In short, its not about selecteing teh best and most skilled and lettng them have a crack at making sane descision, its a normal huerarchy of brown nosing career people, each greedy to get to the top and get their noises in the trough. Its not the Lords that wants reforming, its the Commons. Both, with the Lords totally getting rid of all hereditary and religious peers. The seat of government should be in a more central location in the UK, instead of the bottom right hand corner, with a parliament building(s) totally capable of running a modern government. For e.g., each member should have their own office and the chamber semi -circular with space for everyone. the current old chapel can't even accommodate all the MPs and is formed like cockpit which creates a rather farcical chamber and atmosphere. The financial centre and government are all in one location, which is not good for good government. Power is then centred in one spot, as in the UK, which has the press, finance and government all centred. The ignorance of the UK regions by the London national press is too plain to see. Many top countries split these up in separate cities. We have a lot to learn from other countries. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Imagine this lot of parasitical impostors doing that. I wnder how hard Tony Robinson had to work to make that result happen. I wonder how many of te 'true kings' ancestoirs were illegitimate. Let's face it, pretty much one marriage in three has a son or daughter that doesn't belong to both the so called parents. Figures please. Ive notoiced an alarming tendency for women to shag the hunkiest, but marry the most secure...sometimes within the same day.. I am both. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.555 / Virus Database: 347 - Release Date: 24/12/2003 |

I find it a depressing thought because it may mean that might have to put up with more of that smirking lying **** Bliar and his oleaginous thieving Chancellor and the whole lying, deceitful, nauseating bunch of yes-men they are surrounded with. Fair enough. It is fairly clear that 'New Labour' has exhausted any good will which they inherited when they came to office. I can't believe the crap I read on here. The economy is booming, the pound is almighty strong, unemployment is the lowest for 25 years, no more cardbord cities of homeless people, great anti-social laws, the world went into recession the UK never, etc, etc. Personal debt up from £300 billion in 1992 to over £900 billion today. 80% of it is mortgage repayments to basically survive. The economy isn't booming, house prices and imports are. Which indicates that money is about. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

However, there is a simpler measure of unemployment (or at least wealth) which can be adopted by anyone. As I implied in my earlier post, the number of cars on the road is a good indicator of wealth. Not only that, the age of them too. Far, far more newer cars around, and more expensive models too, these days than when the wicked witch was in charge. Yup, because by holding interest rates down its easy to borrow ten times your annual salary. However its a precarious thing. Maggie used norh sea oil to fnd a consumer boom, She never. She used it to pay the unemployed when her harebrained economic schemes naturally collapsed. Which otherise would have been funded by taxes. The inability of your intellec to grasp basic points never fails to amaze. Do you mean she never used it to pay the unemployed when her harebrained economic schemes naturally collapsed? Tony Benn described as reckless. I know, I've ben thinking that is an apt description of Tony Benn for year. '******' is another way of putting it. Our brainwashed washed Tories are still at it. Sad isn't it. You have nothing to gain by supporting them. One of the greatest legacies gifted to this country, that should have been used to create wealth was squandered. No argument there. A right tithead she was. Gordon brown is using consumer credit. Both are finite resources. Bust is on teh way. Its just a matter of time, as north sea oil and credit are BOTH running out... For the past 6 years the right wing has predicted bust, they have been preying for it. It hasn't come. Preying for it eh? Yes. I know you are of the opinion that left-right politucs isn't dead, but believe me, it sure smells that way. Get rid of the monarchy, aristocracy, the private school/Oxbridge power clique and re-distribute land and left and right will come closer together. Easy really. I can't see an ounce of difference between Maggie Thatcher and Tiny Bliar when it comes to out and out self delusion and egomania. You are mad. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.555 / Virus Database: 347 - Release Date: 24/12/2003 |

When did you last drive around Rural Devon or Somerset, or South Wales. Plenty of people having to make do with old cars there. They are not representative of the country as whole. I can remember driving around in the 1980s with much less traffic on the roads than currently. Stories of individual hardship (or incompetence) are not helpful - because they are not necessarily typical. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

"The Natural Philosopher" wrote in message ... They are all career politicians, and, a Jeremy points out the majoriy *arte earning more as MP's than they have, in any other job they have held*. Churchill was a career political. he crossed the house twice in order to be where the power was. Today he would be in the Labour party. Funny. I thought he was a journalist and at least something in the military. Of course he crossed the floor several times. And finally got lucky. An arsehole of teh nth degree, but usefulk at the time...or was he? Yes he did set troops on miners. The troops were arseholes for doing it. They should have said no, we don't attack our fellow citizens. Churchill prolonged WW2 as the Germans wanted peace: Rudolph Hess's peace flight which he ignored, etc. The aristocracy wanted peace to protect their interests and wanted to talk to Hess. According to the Independent, the Queen Mother declared that she would welcome a NAZI occupation as long as they are left alone with their wealth and lifestyles. Self centred *******s - and you Tory party supports them. At least the Corgi's will not be blamed for ****ing on the sofa's any more. Both, with the Lords totally getting rid of all hereditary and religious peers. Why? At least they have no political axes to grind. You are mad. Truly mad. The seat of government should be in a more central location in the UK, instead of the bottom right hand corner, with a parliament building(s) totally capable of running a modern government. For e.g., each member should have their own office and the chamber semi -circular with space for everyone. the current old chapel can't even accommodate all the MPs and is formed like cockpit which creates a rather farcical chamber and atmosphere. The financial centre and government are all in one location, which is not good for good government. Power is then centred in one spot, as in the UK, which has the press, finance and government all centred. The ignorance of the UK regions by the London national press is too plain to see. Many top countries split these up in separate cities. We have a lot to learn from other countries. Oh dear. Frankly I think we should put the whole damned thing online and leave the bloody MP's at home... Madness does come up with good ideas at times. --- -- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.555 / Virus Database: 347 - Release Date: 24/12/2003 |
