I wonder if contractor 79 confuses Health and Safety legislation with political correctness.

- the cult of personality (by which I mean bull-tulipters are taken at face value)
Meanwhile unproductive people in finance, media, celebrity culture are glorified and presented as paragons of virtue. Accomplishment in any field, self-discipline, thrift are forgotten virtues.
What is coming is truly deserved.

Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostYeah, CyberTory - and as for all those Tory cock-ups, he explains those by reference to previous Labour governments. even more than ten years in to Tory rule. He (and a few others on here) are so dyed in the wool they really think that Tories can only do good except when they do bad things that Labour make them do......hilarious.
Please do explain, because I cannot remember blaming a Tory cockup on Labour. I can however remember many occasions the reverse scenario, even by the current HMG.

According to Cybertory the Conservatives would have lowered interest rates to make the bubble worse. I suspect they would have been a little more sensible than that, but you are probably correct. Only political Zealots convince themselves otherwise.
