I'm a southerner and regard that statement as little better than racist.
I am a Northener and found it amusing.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
To be fair, I think it is a bit rich to blame everything on the Government. They can't regulate every inch of everyone's lives - if they did, people would moan, though now they don't, people moan anyway. Not exactly an easy job, I think...
:mad:
If this government had its way it would regulate a lot more of your life than it currently does!!!! In fact, relatively since 1997, I think you'd be amazed at just how much more your life is being regulated and how many of your civil liberties have been eroded!
But
, on a brighter note it is tremendously liberating to let out all of one's agression on an anti-Brown rant. 0 -
I think we can all agree that Prescott is thick, he is also a hypocrit of the highest order, a man who talks the talk( well sort of:D), yet definitely doesn't walk the walk.
One of our near neighbours is a dry-cleaner. He lives in east London, and works in his shop from 7.30am to 6.30pm every day. He's clearly from the deep end of the gene pool - he's 74, but looks 15 years younger, and his mother is a hale and hearty 90-something year old.
He is a wonderful man, kind, considerate, charming. He and Isaac get on very well, and he takes in post for us if we are out. While we were away, he collected all our post for us and handed it over this morning.
The only cross sentiment I've ever heard him express is about Prescott. He was a merchant seaman for years, travelled all over the world, and loved it. He blames Prescott fiercely for the sudden and irreversible decline in British merchant seamanship, says he was greedy and stupid....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
