This was on the second page! STEED, Bossmark, you guys feeling alright? :o


Anyway...

I'm...still alive? The Budget has come and gone and I haven't been completely shafted by it?

Is Gideon feeling ok?

That living wage plan is going to really make Labour happy, that's another arrow from their quiver gone. But I do feel sorry for the younger people, they took it fairly hard this time around.
Still, we shall see...still feels like I'm waiting for the other boot to drop.

The 'Living wage plan' is complete bs. £9.00 ph is less than the living wage needed by approx 50 pence (depending on the report you read. In 5 years it will be worthless.

I'm all for phasing out a life on the welfare state but to hit working families in the whole process is fundamentally wrong.

Make it worthwhile for people to work then cut benefits a little at a time.

Jimbuna 07-09-15 08:58 AM

Doesn't make good reading...

Thirteen million familes will be £260 a year worse off and for three million it could be as high as £1000.

Myself and a lot of other Osbornes in this country are hoping this arse (any more appropriate expletive will get me thrown in the brig) isn't a relative in some way shape or form. Deed poll is looking more and more inviting. :arrgh!:

So where are the SNP ganging up with Labour?

I thought the SNP were going to be the conscience of the parliament.

BossMark 07-10-15 02:27 AM

I have got just one word for Gideons budget and that is
Bollocks

I'm beginning to give serious thought to whether it is worth maintaining my party membership because their policies (the few they are rumoured to have) don't fit in with my current thinking or position in life.

Looks like the young got well and truly screwed, clear aim of this was too weigh them down with more and more debt allowing more printing of fiat money. The destruction of the welfare system could not be in safer hands with the Tories. I saw this dreadful picture of IDS with raised arms and clenched fists as too say take that you filthy dirty low life scum, death to you all.

Jimbuna 07-10-15 10:29 AM

I guess a lot of the blame for that is with Labour for being so out of touch with the electorate.

Stinking rich pigs take them out and flog them and shoot the corupt bankers, are you with me?

It seems the people are.

STEED 07-11-15 05:00 AM

Anyone catch that CH4 investigation of London estate agents? All five would deal with a poorly paid Russian government worker who stole a heap of drug money! Funny thing the investigator/fake Russian buyer was up front with his info!

Well Gideon what do you think about that?

I bet he dose not care as this makes the London housing market figures look good.

UPATE
Look what I found reported a few days ago..

Only because he has the backing of the trade unions such as Unite....a sure recipe for backward thinking and even longer in the political wilderness in the eyes of the vast majority of the UK electorate.

Cameron must be wringing his hands with glee.
