Good to know though that Osborne is sticking to his guns and not going to start
trying to loan more to spend the UK out of this depression. James Callaghan stated that
the worst thing he ever did during the 1970's bad recession was to try and
spend his way out of it. It bought the UK to it's knees financially but some in
politics choose to ignore James's advice and wish for the government to spend -
spend - spend. Some time in the near'ish future western governments are going to
have to suck excess money, coming via qualitative easing, back out of the banking
system before it starts to hit the streets en-mass. Else serious inflation will
once again rout our's and other countries economies....causing all sorts of
strife.

As most of us know, there is little point in trying to have a sensible conversation with you after 9pm at night, so I have left my response until this morning. Yes of course I am aware of Centrica. As far as I know they have never built nor operated power stations in the UK, they are a distributor of gas and electricity. As previously quoted we don't have nuclear power station building or operation skills in the UK, and I agree with you that it would be better for the country if we did.

Ah good, the Lark is in bed........ :)

Well with the current crisis in the EU & now politicians becoming honest.....

.... & with the economy stagnating.....they can only cut back so much.....I would not be at all surprised if this Cyprus ruckus has given the muppets some "nasty" ideas......

drop soon.

I do hope that you aren't suggesting that Romanians and Bulgarians will be going about stealing lead from roofs and copper from cables? If so that could be construed as a bit of a sterotyped racist comment.

No!

It's the Romany gangs up here ...

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

A quote today from the Russian Prime Minister....""What is happening is a good
signal to those who plan to move their capital to ... Russian banks," he was
quoted as saying. "We have very stable banks."

Well I'll be buggered! Not so blinkered after all! That's what I've been saying for years.

OK, I admit that all the reports I posted are highly valid ones, but my titling of the links sometimes......

What I've found over the past 4 decades is that many in positions of authority regardless of profession dislike being ridiculed even though the ridicule was apt.

That brings in its own problem as rather than resolve any issues, those muppets "close ranks" - AND that you know they do. That is the major issue as well as being too scared to "upset the applecart" by making a correct decision based on common sense - won't get done because its against the "ethos" of the service.

These need to be reformed ASAP.

So, your post.....

An apt excellent +1...

Don't go having a coronary now....

The problem is that ALL politicians & beaurocrats have forgotten their famous mantra "Never Again" which was made in 1919.

Unfortunately, maintaining a sufficient standing armed forces is too costly for them as it eats into the funds for their "pet projects".

The world is a lot more dangerous than 1914/1939/1950 & with the West reducing their forces, the tinpot nations are building their's up along with nuclear weaponery.

They will not hestitate to use them which as been seen by North Korea, forces a nation to increase their defence capabilities.

However, with open borders, that capability is drastically reduced.

The wrong man resigned....

Milliband feared being a distraction

...oh well, just given the current coalition another 5 years. that's definitely our economy stagnating for the next 10 years!

A quote from the article above...."Ed Miliband said the move would leave
British politics "a poorer place"....
You got that slightly wrong Ed', having labour run
the UK will always leave Britain poorer!! These politicians of our certainly
do love themselves and are really good at "bigging themselves up". His brother
wont be missed at all especially since no one actually noticed him there in the
first place!! Get a life you lot, your not the Messiahs that you like to think
you are.

Utterly disgraceful, he should be kicked out on his ear. If he won't voluntarily resign, then he has to be forced out. But there are procedures that rightfully have to be followed.

No charges

A Quote from the article above, "Measures have already been taken to try to encourage more responsible drinking in Parliament, with staff told to cut down on topping up MPs' glasses at receptions".
How about charging them all full price for their drinks, that will force some of
them to start drinking less.
