Reverting to typical govt strategy when running short of cash, selling off everything that isn't nailed down.

How long before they start putting office furniture on ebay?

I don't think the govt must use a different office furniture supplier to me.

if all thats left are public buildings which thinking about things, it is. then things are pretty grim. im having trouble thinking of one previous government service thats not been privatised aside from the emergency serives and the nhs.

they could privatise the dole by selling it to a company that made the claimants work in mundane assembly lines for benefit money. which wouldnt be a bad idea really...

Maybe they shoukld sell off themselves the whole parliament. Who could do a worse job?

i dont actually understand what you wrote but it makes sense.

sell parliamnet, turn it into a brothel and let useful work be done in t for a change.

Parliament can work from home using chat room technology. they can only leave the house if the stuff they do works.

Now that's a good idea! Why don't we sell it to the Chinese?

That's actually a sick joke on the part of the MOD :-

They were giving each of their staff £1k chairs at a time when our troops were doing without basic kit and body armour in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sold to those that get big loans from the very banks that we the public are funding. A transfer of our assets paid for with our money and taxes. This is a Bank Heist. The Banks are heisting us.

Sorry for double posting but this is the issue - the Banks are buying up our country with our money - they are transfering our assets to the Bankers (through corporations which the banks effectively own anyway through the title of the loans they advance those companies) - and get this - it is such a twisted wicked scheme that we get to fund the bankrupt banks to take our national assets as well.

This is the undoing of our democratic parliamentary system - this is the nature of the wicked schemers that lord over the people of the UK.

Honestly, I really do not know how to fight this. I feel useless and sorry.

We are taught the way to enact change is through democracy, but it is only one path - and imo not a very effective one. There are complex conspiracy type of ways.. but also easy things everyone can do. Simply change your buying habits in response to them making it not worth for you.

I wanted to go on a driving trip to Scotland last year. But the costs of petrol tax, excessive prices for hotels, so I decided nahh.. if it is going to cost that much I'd rather do something else. Even just give my money towards a couple charities for poor nations I believe in.

Another one that I don't like is high parking fees and hardcore enforcement of things like time in slots. After getting a couple tickets I decided you know what, I'm not even going to go there anymore. I haven't shopped in the downtown area for 3 years now where I live - it seems other are doing the same as there is a raft of empty shopfronts nowadays there. I hit Asda, Tescos and co. There are hundreds of similiar changes in buying behaviour we can do that do force change.

Another big one was I just lost faith in the whole economic model in mid 2007, so I sold all my stocks and put my money in foreign currencies.

The article talks about £3.2 billion in IT savings -- but somehow I don't think this means stopping spending on the ID Card-and-database or putting patients' records online.
