Kill everyone in the public sector. (Apart from the missus, she deserves every penny)

For poverty, unemployment and crime, look no further than the state the country was in in the mid 80s.

Try the late 70's that was down to Labour as they were in the power at the time. Oh indeed there were problems in the 80's but give the correction's required to correct the structural problems that was a inevitable.

We're all doomed then - So why not **** of now it's so bad here?

I have already done it. Is that the best you can do?

Could see all this tulip coming so I have, oh yes, I have.

[DimPrawn]

My plan exactly.

[benn0]

It most certainly was labours. If you remember thanks to socialism the IMF had to be brought in to rescue the economy in the mid 1970s. Thatcher carried out the reforms that were necessary to free vital services from the clutches of the Unions and to similarly free private enterprise to be able to compete and stand on its own two feet in a global economy.

Unfortunately the economy had to go through some serious blood letting because people like you ignored what was really happening to the economy.

History is repeating itself and there may not be a Thatcher to sort the problems out the next time.

I believe that's gone out of fashion in medicine. Is it still in, in economics?

I'm not spinning it as anything.

Oh yes, that was labour's fault as well wasn't it?

Rose tinted spectacles. Wonderful things.

You do hear what your saying dont you?

Where you wearing the same Rose tints when Maggie rode rough over this country? War with the Argies eh? Stamping out Industry in this country.(And I'm not a Labour boy)...My point is we can all take this attitude towards our parental political bulltulip that we are fed....you only sound like a Man united fan slagging off a Leeds fan to me!!

Maybe they shoudl stop piloting schemes to pay children not to misbehave.

But these children have to get this money, so they can save it for the expensive holidays in term time (That there parents can't afford) Thus prventing there parents from becoming criminals for taking them abroad during term time!!

Maybe they shoudl stop piloting schemes to pay children not to misbehave.

Maybe they should consider why they have a metropolitan authority to control the Met when the home secretary and the mayor shoudl have that responsibility.

Maybe they should stop wasting time passing bullsh1t bills thought parliament to try and achieve there own agenda.

Maybe they should concentrate on streamlining the public service to make it more effective, and not that does not mean empty fist banging rhetoric, it actually means firing load of the useless c@nts that are not needed

Maybe they should stop flirting with privatisation and actually either privatise or nationalise transport becuase they have created an expensive f£ckup which is less efficient and cr@pper than either alternative.

Maybe they should simplifly tax regulation to encourage enterprise rather than trying to stifle it.

Maybe they should stop trying to tell everybody what do do and how to live, and concentrate on what they supposed to do, and thats run the country efficiently.

Maybe they should at least set a precedent on ministerial conduct instead of fostering a culture of corruption and non-accountablity.


Maybe then they may find the money to plug the pensions deficit.

For a start they are responsible for creating the black Hole through taxes, through creating an over bloated state and by killing the pension sales Industry. They indulge themselves in hugely wasteful socialist projects that fail to deliver any sort of decent public service. They are then driven to paper over the cracks (poverty unemployment, crime) that their socialist poilicies have created by taking more and more money from private industry which has the knock on effect of killing the goose and drawing more and more people into the patronage and dependence of the state.
So dont spin it as if it is a problem that they are somehow bravely confronting.

We've always had scroungers. I know people who never did a days works during the tory years, through choice, yet managed very well thank you very much. They're no better or worse off these days.

These days however, if you want to work you can. Ask anyone who worked in the buliding trade through the 80s whether it was the same then.

The article in question is merely stating that the government is looking at ways of plugging the pensions black hole. What're they supposed to do, bury their head in the sand?
