Bring in the Conservative government

Lobby for an act to ban Firms using cheap off shore resource and use the existing UK skills market.

Do you really think those go together? If Labour thought that the interests of workers were less important than the interests of business, do you really expect the Conservatives to think differently?

Not only would it solve a lot of our current unemployment and cultural issues but it would also make my works kitchen area a more pleasant place to be at lunchtime.

I can't be bothered reading those. Can you give us a summary (20 words or less)?

Dunno about those links, but I can give you a summary of the OP and his maunderings:

Can't construct a sentence. Repeats the same phrases to gain attention. Can't punctuate. Has no actual point to make.

Which is 19 words, and leaves me with one more word to summarise him:

Troll.

50 years on, UK = Zimbabwe (Only we will have a smaller white minority and more civil unrest)

Uk will become a dumping ground for the worlds toxic wastes as we become desperate for foreign currency.

Gang-lords & warlords will control much of the country

We will become pariahs, denied immigration to other countries

Education and medical services will only be available to the few wealthy enough to afford them

Fortress Britain will become Prison Britain as foreign gunboats patrol our coasts to keep us in

Always look on the bright side of life dada dada da da da da da

50 years on? I can't decide between these three futuristic scenarios for the UK next year when I get back...

a) 1984
b) 28 Days Later
c) Children of Men

Mmmmm not quite right. First I am on the warm part of Switzerland, the one where until two days ago it was sunny and 25 degrees, (oh and the most beautiful one too) and also because my posts have been achieved with consistency throughout a long period of time. Mind you I still made 90% of the posts in the UK still where not much effort was required.

You rose to the bait, well done

[Francko]

Aren't we forgetting something:

Franco - A contractor in freezing cold switzerland who tells us how wonderful it is out there but seems to have attained the title of "Super Poster" and spends most of his sad life on this forum

Let's just consider the participants of CUK which should give a good indication of the current state.

Good contractors with skills always on a contract....

Milan - a mad man with no other knowledge but his own little SAP area- however is excellent in this - working abroad
BlasterBates - very sound contractor with a propension for doom - working abroad
Chef - a very reasoned person - working abroad
Darmstad - a very serious engineer (a bit too germanised though) - working abrod
Threaded - a genious with eccentric manners - working abroad
Pondlife - a great intellect mind with humour - working abroad

Now let's see who else is left working in UK:

AtW - a mad russian millionaire who will spend all his life chasing squirelles and his illusionary dream of becoming a famous software writer - working in UK
SallyAnne/CM - boozy girls who manage to stay sober only on wednesday - working in UK
SasGuru - a failed middle manager who cannot accept his total ineptitude as a technical person who has been tricked to accept that kind of job to do the least damage while he can keep wasting all his time posting here - working in UK
DodgyAgent - a sleazy business man who would sell all his family for a few quid in the pocket - working in UK
BrilloPad/Diver - comedy writers who are here only to pick up some ideas for their new shows - working in UK
DimPrawn - a wannabee millionaire whose paper fortune of luxury properties in Swindon, made in the dot com boom writing HTML pages, is falling apart - working in UK

Now which workforce would you want to run your country?

Chef - a very reasoned person

Don't get me wrong, I like Chef's posts, but he's not exactly sane is he?

Ahhh, you picked out his good points

[Stan.goodvibes]

Ah classic. The world moves on, The UK will survive quite nicely, and even when the good times come around again, posters like this will *still* be doom and gloom.

Some ppl need to get out more, take a *real* close look at the world and realise that life doesn't get a whole lot better than you have it now.

'Failed State' LOL

[Francko]

clueless and degenerate populace (especially up north), corrupt government, police state, ripoff britain, overreliance on financial services and vaporware, declining manufacturing, third-world NHS, bankrupt banks
