Yes, let's cherish this moment, I think pigs might have developed the ability to fly before we're next due to agree on something...:D

The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill, currently before Parliament, will ensure we achieve this. And alongside the Pre-Budget Report, I will publish an assessment setting out the reductions in the burdens of regulatory enforcement and inspection that are being driven through as a result of the new approach – helping us merge 35 regulators down into nine, by the end of this year, and abolishing ten regulatory bodies.

And this is what bothers me. If yuu ( Yes Gordon, im talking to you) have wanted better regulation over the last 10 years, the as Chancellor of the exchequer, you would have been in the most perfect situation in which to implement it. HOwever, you didnt, because maybe you just didnt see it as that important.....

It really bothers me that we are still perpetuatiung this "it started in AMERICA" dont say its my fault it started in AMERICA.....

The buck stops ANYWHERE but here.

When peeps in power adopt this helpless tone (what could I do, guv, I had no control over events, it's everyone else's fault, who, me?) then there are two options:

1) they're lying
2) they're ineffectual and incompetent, and there's no point in them being in power as they can do **** all to influence events.

So. ****ed either way, then.

You can't stop a recession.

Read it and weep Gordon

This government has got an answer for everything but if you scratch the surface there is no substance.
We have a Freedom of Information Act but does anyone think that information is any more free than 10 years ago?

Ministers and placemen feed us statistics regarding crime, schools, hospitals but in reallity I for one would expect a better return on my investment after such a huge amount of money being spent.over such a sustained period.

If the government is so worried about the Post Office pension fund liability (£9BN, which will be a lot less when the stock market recovers) then why doesnt it talk openly about the 100s of billions of pounds liability accross the public sector that is needed to fill the pension blackhole. It wont discuss this because of the votes and union money that it will lose and it proves that it will manipulate any statistic to get its own way.

Oh and during a general election, citizens vote for their local representative. The leader of the party with the most representatives becomes PM. You really should learn how our parliamentary monarchy works, it weakens your credibility slightly when you spout the usual Daily Mail illinformed nonsense.

You should learn it. Perhaps you can explain how the inhabitants of this country became 'citizens' overnight?
