somersetrob Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Why is it that everyone seems to have so many holidays cars and nights out? Stratford is buzzin every night and people seem o have plenty to spend...in fact I would say people seem to have more possessions new cars and disposable income than ever. Thanks to the Coalition ? One minute you say the 'Nasty Party' has hit the working man and then you say they seem to have more disposable income than ever before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndoe Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Jeez that's a worrying article. Pretty frightening isn't it? Considering that they've been right about many things that went against the "mainstream", it shouldn't be dismisssed as alarmist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungfustu Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 the article wouldnt look out of place on one of those TV shopping channels....."but wait!....theres more" etc etc the facts are not up for debate....how they are presented is my issue and they are without doubt as was suggested, not impartial......its just scaremongering and sensationalizing in epic proportions.......as well as trying to sell you something.

Alan Collett Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah,"still" labours fault that the coalition are borrowing more than Labour did,ok yeah.... I agree. The public sector should be cut back to the size it was pre-1997. Then the UK might have a chance at generating a surplus to repay the deficits accumulated by the last administration. Best regards.

If you divorce you still pay for your wife long after its done. Remember they had 12 years in power. It's a very long time. And if they have done a wonderful job why you moving to Australia.

Phil & Vikki Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It is such a shame to read posts where people are so ready tyo put down their country of origin. True the UK has its issues and there are things that could always be changed. However, if you look at any place there will be issues, something that you do not like. It is true that the UK has been in a very bad recession and there are positive signs that it is coming out of it, be that slow signs at the moment. All you need to do is look at the exchange rate of the pound against the dollar, to see positive signs. The UK is not finished by a long short there is still a bit of life left in the old dog yet.

Paul1Perth Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thats how i felt,they ARE running a business,the facts/stats look very worrying tho! That's what I thought too at the end, when they try and get you to buy a subscription. They also point out how many great people they have working for them. If their previous predictions were so good the people that are still working should all be sat on their bum, somewhere nice, soaking up the sun, not still working for money week, or whatever it was. When you see articles like this with all the facts and graphs with it it's powerful stuff though. The stories about what really happens when banks collapse and the economy goes bad are eye opening. I've heard the term "financial meltdown" used too much ever since the GFC without ever thinking about what really happens. You get the feeling that everything will carry on exactly the same but, having seen on the news, people queuing outside banks in Cyprus and stories about people not being able to get their money it brings it home a bit. I was too young, or not interested, when other countries like Argentina were going through the nightmare, so didn't take much interest. I can remember the 70's and how bad it was. People weren't nearly as well off then though so a little tightening of belts was probably a bit easier to take. My parents had lived through the war so a little bit of financial hardship wouldn't have seemed too bad. Now people expect to do better than their parents, have mobiles, a car, a house, laptops. A lot harder to tighten the belt now. A lot of people wouldn't know how to cope if they had to lose their mobile phone.:cry: The whole makeup of the UK's population has changed too, which is more of a worry IMO. There are loads more people now who don't want to tighten their belts a bit for the good of the country, those are the ones that will affect the social structure if things get bad.

And reverting to the Labour Party is the most likely outcome in 2015, is it not? As that notable journal, The Sun, said at the 1992 election in contemplation of a LP/Kinnock victory, will the last person to leave the country turn the light out? http://politics.guardian.co.uk/pictures/image/0,9353,-10104389507,00.html Best regards.
