Will the govenment spending review be much less painful than we are led to believe?

Where is your recovery chucky? :cool:

my recovery? i haven't been ill recently?

but if you meant economic recovery... it's not my recovery and i would have thought that you would like an economic recovery but i must be wrong.

i've never started any threads on a miraculous economic recovery but have always questioned you when you have started numerous threads about economic armageddon that has never happened or remotely materialised though...

No, reserve your seat in the bunker and bring all the beans you can carry

All I said was the recovery was going to be long, painful and as a result of further bank write-downs and cuts to government expenditure, we were going to see a double dip.

Whereas you constantly snided, predicting that everything was going to befine and we were going to have a strong recovery.

You dont work for the council do you chucky?

Must be really easy on here sitting on that fence and throwing rocks at everyone then.

Yes, no doubt they're talking up the extent of the cuts and they won't be anywhere near as bad

Hi there, when was ni scrapped and made into one tax?. my husband still pays ni as a seperate deduction on his pay slips.

Hi,

I didn't say it was. I said it was all noise from the press to convince us that the world was going to end, whereas in actual fact, it isn't.

Now, can the same thing be said about the current doom and gloom regarding the forethcomming spending cuts?

People have obviously been blinkered by 13 years of free givaways, electoral bribes and pandering by the Labour government. Unfortunately, we live in the real world. Things will carry on, but there is going to be significant disruptrion I believe over the next year or so. Next summer is going to be strike-tastic!

it's easier than easy especially when you have people coming out with the usual nonsense

[STRIKE]40% job cuts in the public sector[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]the IMF being called in to rescue the UK[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]house prices falling 50%[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]unemployment hitting 6 million[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]a gilts strike around the corner[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]rates going to double figures[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]banks collapsing[/STRIKE]

the vote is still out on the job cuts. I didnt say public sector, I said in certain sectors of the public sector. Learn to read.

The IMF would have been called in if labour had been re-elected. Merv more or less gave this away once the coalition was formed. Have a look into the reasons as to why they needed to form it quickly as well, if your memory is that short

Find a single quote saying prices would fall 50% using my sign in. You cant. I was never a member of the 50% club.

Gilt strike would have happened if labour were re-elected. Look what happened in europe to all those nations doing the keynseyan thing. If we hadnt have had the election, we would have joined them.

Nor did I mention Rates hitting double digits. Anything over 4% and the coultry is f00ked anyhow.

Banks collapsing? You might want to look at Alistair darlings recent comments about how close RBS came to it.

I would say I have been pretty much spot on. I certainly was right about "no quick recovery" that you d*ckhead bulls have been assuring us all about since northern rock failed.

I say it will be savage.

The reason, they have already stated that there will not be an election for five years, that is so after 4 years of real misery they will be able to say, things are a lot better now and we can loosen the purse strings. To enable them to win the next election, and then sock it to us again.

If they paid what we owe sensible, they could not ease off come the election. In short they are only thinking of them.
