![]() Fantastic extrapolations there. Our "free and fair" media must be the envy of so many. |

Do you really believe that last sentence? Do you really think that's what it's about? Edited by disgruntled porker, Sep 24 2015, 08:16 AM.

When Cable and Wireless was nationalised in 1948(?) it made a profit in its first year by simply cutting the bloated salaries at the top. AFAIA, C&W never made a loss from the time it was nationalised right up to the point of being privatised. It won the 'Queens Award to Industry' during its final year as a nationalised industry, but IIRC, was still the first of the nationalised industries to feel the bite of privatisation. |

Of course he believes it, what he is oblivious to, is it is the middles classe being made poorer by government Tories policies and the emergent properties of them. |

That's just your opinion and perception, but it does not seem to be that of the majority. Others will and do se it differently. We have local elections I'n May of next year, with the government in power usually not doing so well as the opposition, the protest vote coming into play. That may give a true indication of the views of the public. though usually on a low turnout. There will always be "events" of the moment having some influence. Just have to wait and see, for there is usually a gap between our own views and interpretations and the results, as the last GE showed. You may be right ,but then so might I be |

People in general vote for 'what is best for them and theirs', or rather what they perceive/believe is in their best interest ...... that's where the spin, lies, BS come into play, and the amount of it we are exposed to suggests that doing so works well. |

I do not see how you conclude that I think Cameron is not a joke. If Cameron is a joke that does not absolve Comrade Corbyn from being a complete naive idiot. Putting aside the unproved claims about pigs, whiffs and chav eating habits, I find Cameron a disappointment as he has not cut the Public Sector Deficit and appears to be taking a very milksop attitude to EU reforms. I now view him as one of those that the sainted Lady would have called "Wets". |

Well maybe not quite, but he may well be to the left of Thatcher, which wouldn't be too difficult. But even Thatcher didn't screw everything up in her first five years. |

We all agree that - The Tories are inept - Labour were inept We all have different ways of fixing the problem, however. So far some of Steve K's solutions ring out to me, I have yet to see RJD spell out any solution to our economic impasse. |
