Panic time, oil strike on
 

What really bloody got my blood boiling what's this Labour Government spokesperson on the CH5 news today saying this strike will cost millions every day there on strike.

GO TO BLOODY HELL YOU PRAT. :x

Government debt and consumer debt is in the billions so I hardly think using the guilt factor is going to work on me you dick head. :hulk:

I am in such a fowl mood today over my council and other on going issues I just had to let off some steam and that news item was the crowning turd on the pie.

And now a plea.....

People of Great Britain vote all your sitting councilors out and teach them a lesson, folks who live in London vote that pig red Ken out of office. in the up coming elections.

So if they are working they make £millions a day? But they can't afford to pay them pensions. yeah right.

:p

Bit of a cock-up on the spelling front:D

I've calmed down now after a good patrol on SH3. :lol:

Back on topic.......

Go for it guys. Strike, strike and stay on strike until you get what you want.

STEED is with you. :up:

Up yours labour snob government. :x

That's right....you much prefer this style of government......now I remember :p

And vote in whom?

No sympathy with the strikers. They're acting as if they are the only ones who will have to now contribute to their pensions. Fact of life people live longer pensions are more expensive so companies are in a position where the workes have to contribute.

You have to to get your state pension why not with a private one. Can't get something for nothing and given that the workers at Grangemouth are earning way over the national average I think they are hypocrites. Wish I was earning between £45 - 60,000 a year.

If they're earning up to 60k per year, do they need a pension ? http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/181...kbigsw1yo4.gif

The answer being obviously yes.....anything above the state pension (and there are millions out there who have no choice but to survive on what crumbs the Government hands out) then they should contribute towards.

I suspect the employer will also be making a contribution :nope:

If it is like the pnesion in my company then the company should be matching the employees's contributions.

Yeah, I reckon so.

Okay, now I'm confused. If the UK is practically a socialist nation (except for steed), why are they going on strike? It is already a worker's paradise, so all of the workers should be happy.

I think they've gone on strike because word has just leaked out that STEED's status is also that of a worker.

How would you like being shoehorned into the same category as STEED :rotfl:

All ready there.

Move to a better country.

DAMN! By the time I'd noticed this thread, I was beaten to the line! Well played, Jim... well played...

What I find hysterical is steed arguing the Socialist cause

Do you know what it is that they actually want. The strikers are trying to fix at an artificially high level a pension of the kind that is almost unheard of in the private sector. And the companies proposals would still keep the pension competative. By all means defend the right to strike Steed, but choose your causes carefully!

Perhaps if you read the Financial Times or watched Channel 4 News, you would realise that the economic damage can be cascading.

No oil production means lack of supply, which drives up costs across the UK, which makes the economy uncompetative, which means that foreign companies source resourses from our competitors, which means that banks get twitchy about the state of the economy and increase interest rates, which worries those of us who own homes and pay taxes who then stop spending, reducing the size of the economy further, which decreases government income and thus government spending, which damages spending.

...which may mean the government having to take on some debt to nip this in the bud... such as temporarily importing the oil from overseas. This means an increase in income tax to cover the debt next year.

But if your in favour of the strike, which you obviously are Steed, then you have thought that through and wont complain when tax's increase next year :D

CH4 news is so wet behind the ears and liberal no thank you. As for the economy so what? People in this country are spinless all they want is there soap operas and booze and they will sit in horese sh*t for the rest of there lives. Hang on, there doing that now! This country is finished.

Whats bloody new there DAB old sunshine? We're been screwed up the ass for years by politicians who don't give a toss about you and I, they crap all over us. They the politician can and will continual to rub sh*t in our faces because they know the people of this country are spineless and most don't even vote.

Well said DAB. :yep:
