...to go around internet forums stifling criticism of the scum who are running our country?

Be of good heart DA for it is written ...


But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money.

Boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power.


Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Intersting technique of yours benn0; anyone criticising HM govt is a moaner. I presume you have no counter arguments of your own and that you dont think it unreasonable for people to question what happens to 50% of everything that they earn? If you buy a PC and it doesnt work do you go and moan at your supplier?

Anyway I thought you had left or are you on HM govt's payroll to go around internet forums stifling criticism of the scum who are running our country?

I'm as critical of the current government as anyone. I've said before they're not as bad as some of the previous corrupt ones but they still leave a lot to be desired. However, many people on here seem to have nothing better to do than scour internet sites for non stories just so that they can have a moan. The bottom paragraph of that article clearly states that households will not be expected to write a cheque, but that wasn't the slant placed on the original posting.

The article in question is merely stating that the government is looking at ways of plugging the pensions black hole. What're they supposed to do, bury their head in the sand?

Close Benny Boy, bury their hands in our pockets.

Go and knock one out over your full length picture of Maggie.

That should cheer you up.

[DimPrawn]

Thanks, I will.

And I hear she's a single lady again!

It would help but to a large extent the government are responsible for the current state of our pensions. Not only have they removed approx £5billion per year from pensions via Gordon Brown's reform of Advanced Corporation Tax - remember 80% of investors in the Stock Exchange are pension firms. The effect of regulations placed upon Pension firms mean they are getting lower returns on investments thereby making the problem even worse. (see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...28/ixcity.html

Indeed the state of our pensions (which prior to the current labour administration were actually in surplus) can be layed at the door of that same Labour Administration.

For a start they are responsible for creating the black Hole through taxes, through creating an over bloated state and by killing the pension sales Industry. They indulge themselves in hugely wasteful socialist projects that fail to deliver any sort of decent public service. They are then driven to paper over the cracks (poverty unemployment, crime) that their socialist poilicies have created by taking more and more money from private industry which has the knock on effect of killing the goose and drawing more and more people into the patronage and dependence of the state.
So dont spin it as if it is a problem that they are somehow bravely confronting.

I'm not spinning it as anything.

For poverty, unemployment and crime, look no further than the state the country was in in the mid 80s.

Oh yes, that was labour's fault as well wasn't it?

We've always had scroungers. I know people who never did a days works during the tory years, through choice, yet managed very well thank you very much. They're no better or worse off these days.

These days however, if you want to work you can. Ask anyone who worked in the buliding trade through the 80s whether it was the same then.

Rose tinted spectacles. Wonderful things.
