Theres only so long they can use this as an excuse.They can find £250,000,000 from the back of the sofa to bribe Councils to go back to weekly bin collections....
I hate Nu Labour for the way in which they wasted money and lets be quite honest here the ONLY jobs they created were in the Public Sector, none in the private sector so I find it quite sickening to hear them slate the Tories about not creating jobs.The Tories need to step up to the plate and act instead of poncing about.Theres only so long they can expect the public to be patient.
We still hear lots of lipservice regarding apprenticeships but absolutely no action.I know young lads who want apprenticeships and all they are offered is a college course for 1 day a week, its verging on pathetic.
We know they all lie and feather their own nests and ego's so why are people arguing over who's the biggest hypocrite?..A liar is a liar is a liar ......I really don't know what is worse Nu Labour who would bankrupt the country and have a massive Public Sector where life is strangled by Bureacracy or the Tories who want to be totally debt free and no one has a job.0 -

I was actually taking the p1ss with my comment, it was meant very tongue in cheek however I agree totally it is time to step up to the plate. We have heard enough talk, but seen very little action on anything.Dont wait for your boat to come in 'Swim out and meet the bloody thing'

This may be a recessionary period but we have been on progressive decline from the late 70's early 80's.
What we have had to "mask" that fact is the ability to sell off assets or to mortgage assets that have an inflated value. These have kept the nose up but there is nothing else left to keep the air under the wings.
Like gambling at cards the western states have been losing to the east with the occasional good hand to keep them betting. Like all card games providing the party with the pot keeps playing at some point we should start winning if we play the cards right. If the person with the pot tries to leave we have to shoot him but will our guns be big enough?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Yet £81bn in cuts now rain down on frontline services.

David_Cameron wrote: »"We will stop top-down reorganisations of the NHS," said the coalition agreement, yet now what health secretary Andrew Lansley calls his "revolution" rolls in. The coalition promise that "we will guarantee that health spending increases in real terms" has gone the same way.

Bluster about bank bonuses, wellbeing, going green and family-friendly government were all deceptive conceits too.
Add to this Osbornes austerity is going to reduce real incomes for the majority by 10%.
Do we feel that this lying party & leader will get in again?It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

And which of the lying toads likely to lead their parties at the next election do you suggest we trust? The previous lot of pathological liars, or the two presently in bed together?0 -

Maybe dislodge your current MP to a totally new one: Lets throw the cards in the air see what happens.
We could go totally radical vote for greens or independent candidates. personally though I really like my MP and think she does a fantastic job.
Depends on whether you think coalition governments are a good thing or not I guess.:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Not Diane Abbott is it?, one of the biggest hypocrites in Westminster
How can an electorate be so gullible as to re-elect a woman who harps on about how she is an admirer of the State Education system when at the same time sent her kids to private school.
Just to even things up I am aware that the Tories are just as bad.;)
I'm all for independant MP's with no Party allegiances but not really a fan of the Greens, they're far too "fluffy",apparently many of them still believe the moon is made of cheese .0
