The country is not being run it is being managed, rather poorly.
In the days of recession draw every penny from those that struggle the most oh and financially praise those who fail what a load of bankers
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

well said,
if this country was a company it would be bankrupt & cease to trade, suppose in a way thats precisely whats happening, so why do we still employ
the people managing the way the country operates??????? always puzzled me that has?

The problem is simple, too many profesional politicians. A requirement to become a politician should be that you have served at least ten years in a
multi- national company, so that then you would have some idea of exactly how to manage the country, which is just basicly a BIG company. Just my two
penneth. Cheers Ray

just a shame that the government arent having the worry of redundancy looming. Oh and how many of them are on the average wage ?? in the real world
for most household 30k for two people working full time is the average. The workers should be rewarded not punished and made to recover the economy
whilst failing big wigs each receive a working mans lifetimes wage as a bonus or pay off. As a manager if my staff gave me the results of the banks or
the government I would be looking to do a mass recruitment drive cos heads would/ should have rolled.
Mr Brown and team you should be on an advisory and personal action plan the Queen should be having words.

Well that's what happens when you allow an unelected individual to run amok.
We for once should take a leaf out of the French book on how to let our feelings be known by all staying home on the day the tax rise is introduced as
an unpaid day off, imagine the lost revenue from income tax.
I know many people cannot afford this but compared to the amount you'll end up paying in extra duty it probably works out cheaper. Then we can
spend all day throwing petrol bombs if we want to.

I would be willing to do that but we would need to get the whole country to do it which i dont think is going to happen

Gordon Brown is a company, david cameron is a company, the labour party, the police , the house of lords are all companies. Literally all listed as
companies, all listed on dun and bradstreets website
So when you're electring a member of parliament you're actually electing a director of a company

^Interesting video. The points he makes about the police now and, say, 50 years ago are interesting.

it moral.

eerrr let's keep this in a bit of perspective. the increase will be 2 pence per liter, petrol is 87 p per litre; les thqan 6 mounths ago it
was £ 1.10.
there wre no rots then and I doubt there will be this time.
As I said before where do you think the money is coming from to fund the banks and for the reduction in VAT?
Although petrol is my biggest monthly expense even though IMO I don't do that many miles, I sitll prefer the tax to go on petro than from income
tax.

Its also worth remembering that the tax on fuel was put up by 2.5 percent when Vat was reduced so as not to make fuel cheaper.The government also
stated that the 2.5 % would remain after Vat was increased again , there will therefore be another rise by about 2.5 p per litre in the autumn.
