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.

Yeah I agree with you about the Tory gits.

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

Up to strength???

Gone back in time to before 1945 have we?

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.

2012 will be a like a turd with cherry on top for Britain

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.

Bit more of a crab-apple than a cherry tbh.
Looks like it might hold the promise of granny smiths in miniature, but the reality is very, very sour.

The rich will do a little worse than before and the poor will pay the price in real terms.

I can sort of back that up with experience of a 'work from home telemarketing' job I've been engaged with ... got info through jobcentre before holidays, attended online training seminar today, plus tried some live calling... urgh. The catch? Advertised as no cold calling/selling, merely conduction surveys, the reality, you are cold calling and selling by proxy via the survey and on behalf of 'national money savers'. The real catch is that although you are logged into their remote dialer for X number of hours a day with an advertised rate of £6.10ph, you are actually only getting paid for the time your login is actually dialling or conducting surveys.
9/10 people put the phone down and as each call starts a new survey, you need to spend time closing the survey otherwise you don't get logged as making the survey.
What this means: you might well be connected for what seems to be a 'flat rate' wage, but you are only paid when surveying or dialling... which is something quite different in terms of hours worked than the stated 6.5 hrs a day monday to friday.

I'm sick and tired of applying for jobs through the jobcentre that declare 'hourly rate' yet time and again prove to be nothing of the sort.

Sorry, a bit OT, but somebody is making money somewhere just ain't me.
Better luck with a CAD job interview next monday eh?
