Two People I Would Never Get Tired Of Slapping

If that's the only strategy they have then we're more fvcked than we realised.

 

Gerron yer bike.

Different suit, same *******.

 

Eric Pickles instructing people to 'work harder', good grief.

 

When will business leaders learn that these clueless ****ers are nothing but jumped up pen pushers who don't have an idea between them about what to do except keep following the same Friedmanist crap their idol followed. Getting shot of trade unions hasn't exactly cured all our woes, has it Will?

Many businesses are working harder that ever, just to stand still. The Government is doing nothing to help. And this usual "cut red tape" crap is yet another misnomer. It is sales that businesses need, not this!

 

Great comment on BBC Question Time last Thursday. Mary Beard - the one who did the series about the Romans, and someone said she wasn't good looking enough to be on TV!
Anyway, she said "I don't know what the best way to get us out of recession is, I'm not supposed to know, but looking at you lot (politicians) on here arguing, it's clear that you don't even know"
Sums it up really - can hear differing views and generally, I don't know what would work and what wouldn't....but it seems like there's no consensus. There were 2 articles on the same page of the The Independent yesterday about Greece, one arguing they should leave the Euro and another arguing they should stay in.

 

Eric Pickles is an absolute disgrace and just about sums up politics (of all colours). I remember the fat b'stard on QT just around the time of the expenses scandal justifying the lavish expense entitlement that our MP's get. He really does deserve a proper slap but then again so do half of the tossers who sit in the Houses of Parliament. Out of touch on a level that should be considered a national scandal; how can most of these people be allowed to represent ‘Joe Public’.

 

hague talks like a c u nt..
the mess this country is in goes a lot further back than the banking crisis,,,the banking crisis was only so bad because this country was only surviving on borrowed cash and investment gambles,
the complete shutdown and sell off of all our major industries and utilities have left us as a service industry led country...hagues idea that our firms can go abroad to sell their products is utter nonsense,,,we cant compete in this country,and its not cause we're useless its cause we have a standard of living that require much higher wages than our competetors in the far east where some of them still work for a bowl of corn a day...the biggest expense for most companies is wages,so we are at a complete dissadvantage to start with.
the goverment would be far better off investing some money back into mining,drax power station burns 36,000 tonnes of coal a day,that would keep half a dozen modern pits in business,,,which would in turn create jobs in steel making and other industries..
coal is here for a long while yet,and we should be burning our own,,even the most conservative estimates reakon we have only used around 20% of our accesible reserves so far..
drax power station is just one,there a few dozen more where that comes from....why the **** should we be keeping russian,columbian,south african and aussie miners in work,its about time some real long term jobs paying real salaries were created in this country.......
sadly the tories will never do it because it would show thatcher up for being wrong,and the labour party wouldnt do it cause they are sh it scared of the green brigade..

 

It is all well and good the 15 pints a day man telling business folks to work harder and sell their products abroad when that is just it. We don't make anything anymore, so what should we sell abroad? Services?

 

Selling services is exactly what the hopes of governments policies rest on..

 

I went to the same school as Hague (Wath Comp). A few year later of course. But he came to the school a year or 2 before he came to prominence, and I fired a sweaty betty at him which stuck to his lapel for the rest of his sleep-inducing speech.
I would like to hit him with sumat harder these days. A brick perhaps, or a lump hammer

 

Ant and Dec everytime and all day long.
