    Lets face it it was a load of rubbish spouted by posh boy and his cronies that doesn't effect him and his rich friends.

    The "Were in it together" is a load of rubbish, as the statistics have shown the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

    I don't know why this thread was started as its nothing to do with saving money or getting better deals. It looks like a post that some political organisation is using to promote there interests.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    Where would we all be if we didn't know that GDP growth is forecasted to be 2.7% in 2018?

    Only trouble is, how reliable is that forecast? I mean, only in March this year, the forecast for this year's growth was given as 0.6% and yesterday posh boy had to admit that that figure was likely to be over 100% inaccurate. Doesn't really bode too well for a forecast in 5 years time when he can't even get this years forecast close.

    I.D.S. alright. In Deep Sh......ambles.

    Meanwhile, whilst all the great leaders of this land were sat together putting on their own panto act,
    1. over 130,000 homes had their power cut off,
    2. 2500 homes had been evacuated (and many more thousands would be as the day progressed)
    3. the entire Scottish Railway network ground to a halt.

    But they were alright, Jack. They were all in London and had the Thames Barrier closed to keep their tootsies dry. :cool:

    Loving the facts! :)
