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.

The time of the politician is over, we don't need them, there a wast of space. We need experts in there fields like business & transport and get the job done and to hell with red tape.

Was it Socrates who said: any men smart enough to be real leaders would be smart enough to know not to?

Nah, that was me.




But I'm sure I heard it somewhere else first.

Maybe, maybe not, but John Adams definitely said what I quote in my signature:

"Public business must always be done by somebody.
It will be done by somebody or other.
If wise men decline, others will not; if honest men refuse it, others will not."
- John Adams

That means if the "smart" men that Socrates is talking about it don't step up then some idiot will take their place.

The Turd..
Euro Crisis will hurt us regardless of what the Con-Dems do or dont do.
Likley to slip into recession.
Unemployement rising.
Austerity messures / Cuts
Cost of living & travel continues to rise
Possible further social unrest during Summer (lets hope not though)

The Cherry...
2012 olymics
Jubilee.
