  • Yes, but they appear to have pulld back? I cannot understand this. Why are they sending us purposely into recession if they can simply borrow more and make us all wealthier!

    There must be a reason?! :doh:


    Ooooh let me see, could it be because Osborne is so wedded to the idea of a smaller state that he is determined to cut so fast that it actually damages the economy ?

    It may make sense if we had low un-employment, but at the moment it is an utter waste.

    Yes, I liked the intro:
    'Following the summer’s riots, there were official warnings that the Government should intervene with very young children to set them on the right path through school.'

    Tantamount to saying "These dullard non-workers are such crap parents we need to get their kids off them asap."

    Possibly true, mind, but maybe there's another way? :(
