You need to make up your mind whether you are a left or right wing loony.

And you need to decide which of the three of you has access to the sasguru account. I do hope it is the intelligent one (not you).

Anyway : there is little difference between extreme left and extreme right : full of hatred.

Of course the Fiat currencies ahave been setup for a collapse - so that people wil be crying out for the solution - a new global currency issuerd by the New World Order - of course.

Indeed. When launched the Indy saw itself as a Times competitor. When it realised it couldn't compete it switched leftward to compete with the Guardian. Couldn't compete there either. Now its a curious hybrid, occupying no particular space and with no coherent viewpoint. My guess: it's struggling to survive and its sole editorial policy is to print whatever sells.

It was argued from the start that the Independent had no natural position and so lacked soul (or "bite" or whatever). ISTM though that its natural constituency from the start was Liberal, or Lib-Dem; or at least the people for whom the Lib-Dems should be trying to be the natural party. That is still true; and that is the Guardian's core constituency too, regardless of how much it provides the only natural home for clever left-wing writers.

Can you explain this then please? http://forums.contractoruk.com/791002-post1.html

yes : the f**kwitted one of the three sasgurus has the account. I hope it gets handed back soon.

Ah the usual Telegraph doom and gloom. I suggest not reading newspapers as I remember this "end of the world" crap from the last recession.
The Telegraph was, not surprisingly, much more positive then, as it was a Tory givernment. The doom then came from the leftie papers.
Now things are reversed - what a surprise.

Sounds about right. It is a big pile of balls.

When has the independent not been gloomy?

However, the Independent is doomy as well today, estimating that it will cost every man, woman and child in the UK an average of £40,000 to clear our national and banking debts.

What was the figure before Labour got in?

I haven't got a clue, but I'll guarantee it was a hell of a lot lower. For a start, in those days banks were solvent. Anyway, that's not the point. The Independent are a bit leftie and they are joining in the doomy stuff as well.

Fear not - when inflation goes over 10% again, that £40,000 will soon feel like £400.

I was very worried Sunday night and this morning because - try as I mighrt - I could not find the key to my bike lock - as I had left it near my workplace on Friday I was very worried that perhaps I had left the key in the bike lock - so soembosy could have easily nicked it.

Imagine my relief when I found my bike was quite secure - I had left the key in my desk and not in the lock itself.

Silly me .

You see -sometimes things aint quite so bad as you think

Bike locks are a false economy. You should use a Shoestring. It's the same method the banks use to secure investments (i.e. everything done on a shoestring economics). Your bike would have been as safe as houses.
