I agree with you, he should have cut the bloated public sector NHS etc, even privatize most of the NHS. Problem is he has only tinkered around the edges. I don't want Labour in either I want a decent rational intelligent government with balls. -

0.3% Wow, margin of error is 0.2% so effectively nothing again. Patient is still not responding. Need cut more waste of space NHS and Public sector managers/staff. (Not Doctors/Nurses).Comment

But we haven't really had any growth or a triple dip, the very minor spikes are akin to a twitching corps on the mortuary slab.Originally posted by VectraMan View Post
Triple dip means we've at least had some growth. Would a single long dip have been better?
As long as the average 'hard working family™' has -£1.53 left each month after servicing their basic living requirements the recession will continue.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
