Default David Cameron: UK will get up to strength in 2012

Somehow I don't think so David

Quote:
David Cameron has promised to use the "global drama" of the Olympics and "glory" of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee to help get Britain "up to strength".
"This will be the year Britain sees the world and the world sees Britain," the PM said in his new year message.
However, he admitted 2012 would be difficult as the economy struggled.

Like all politicians they lie, cheat steal & back stab. There colour maybe different from Blue to Red to Yellow but there all the same...

SWINE'S THAT LIE AND LIE AND LIE.

The Conservative and Labour and Liberal party's should be binned and pulped and what's left placed in a rocket and fired into the sun.

People have been saying that since the days of the Roman Republic. However, replacing politicians only seems to create new ones. I'm afriad that we're stuck with them.

Only people who lie, steal and cheat want anything to do with the jobs. Add to that the incredibly stupid average human being who believes the political lies and you have our modern systems of democracy.

People who actually know how to solve problems are busy solving them, and have no interest in politics.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach or become politicians.

In fairness to the masses, there is now an entire industry built around political cheerleading which reduces the process to a sporting event. They love it because they are made to love it. You don't have to look further than this forum to see the results of that. In fact, with a US Presidential election cycle this year, this absurdity should be on full display.

Also, I can do. I choose to teach.

I'm betting that old saying was made up by someone who didn't like being taught. I'm also learning to make the distinction between people who just "teach" and people who like helping others learn. I'm sure you're one of the latter.
