I don't think voting UKIP would change anything anyway. The same people run the show no matter what the name of the party. It's all rigged.Comment

I find there is a shortage of big businesses offering fantastic service, maybe if I upped the amount I paid them the situation might improve?
Strange they don't follow that logic through.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Nobody is ever going to get this nation's engineering industry back again with political change.
The unions tried for years to down play the industry always painting the "the engineer" as a salt of the earth type working on the line with his grubby overalls and milky tea and to be defended because they never earned enough. Engineering is though of as a lower class industry.
We went from the great egg race to the apprentice. Heinz Wolf to Sugar, Professor of Engineering to Labour knighted barrow boy pedaling quick rich scheme ideas to children. Thanks feck I will be retired by the time his young fans get into the office place and think aggressive one up man ship is better than collaborative work practices.Comment

As the numpty from the CBI makes clear there is no "skills shortage" there is just a shortage of people who can afford to take a job at the tulipe rates that Bob and Oleg can take - and are all the CBI will pay so that they can continue to jack up pay at the top levels in a way that bears zero relation to performance.
We are all being shafted royally by a very few people.
The parties have also stictched up the voting system so UKIP have no chance at all of getting any power in our parliament.Comment
