the stig Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I quite liked "now that recovery has been established" closely followed by "there will be mixed signals along the way". Quote
uptherebels Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 It's going to be brilliant. Can't wait. We will be world leaders in just about everything. Quote
clloyd Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I quite liked "now that recovery has been established" closely followed by "there will be mixed signals along the way". I started watching it but I can no longer look at this man or listen to his words for more than 1 minute without my blood pressure rising to unhealthy levels and wanting to throw heavy objects at my TV(perhaps that's what he wants, at least I would then need to go out and spend £500 on a new TV!).

Bruce Banner Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 This really should not be allowed. It's just a lengthy, free, party political broadcast thinly disguised as an announcement of a budget in two weeks. Quote
Bloo Loo Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 This really should not be allowed. It's just a lengthy, free, party political broadcast thinly disguised as an announcement of a budget in two weeks. im sorry, but anyone announcing that the man with the most dead voice, the most annoying facial tick and a face that doesnt quite fit the head is on the telly, is cleary not just a troll, but an Evil Troll.....and I stick my wand up your nose. saying that, its a good warning not to flick to that channel.... forgiven.

Democorruptcy Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I wish they would put a running total of spending and savings at the bottom of the screen when he talks. I think he saved £3bn by 2014 on freezing excessive public sector pay that actually needs cutting but spent about £20bn on other things. Quote
Bruce Banner Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 It's just finished. He got 55 minutes of uninterrupted coverage on BBC News . Quote

Join Freecycle, lots of people are giving away their old CRT TVs as they can't get anything for them on ebay or in Loot. This Top Tip was brought to you by DeepLurker. Quote

This Top Tip was brought to you by DeepLurker. Better stock up then, as I think HPC types will be going through a lot of TV's in the run up to the election! Be careful though, an imploding cathode ray tube can be dangerous! Quote
Zngland Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Not his exact words but to quote - MUST MAKE THE TOUGH DECISION TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERY BY CONTINUING PRINTING UNTIL THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAS LEGS. AS OPPOSED TO THE WEAK ONE ,WHERE THE STRUCTUAL PROBLEMS ARE RECOGNISED,THE MALINVESTMENT FACED. So far they can't resist ' printy printy ' the path to hyperinflation continues. Quote
aa3 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Imagine how powerful he will be if Labour wins in May. Another 5 years he will have in power. Quote
Fairies Wear Boots Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Imagine how powerful he will be if Labour wins in May. Another 5 years he will have in power. It's very scary when you put it like that. Quote
R K Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Those bumps in the road will be him and his cabinet colleagues chucked out the back of a ford transit on the M25. Quote
R K Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 He's going to save a whopping £3bn by freezing the pay of judges, doctors, council chiefs, senior civil sevants etc. So tha'ts only another £173bn to go. Tell you what, why not start by sacking 20% of them and cutting the rest by 30% and see how we get on from there...... Quote
Winston Wolf Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Imagine how powerful he will be if Labour wins in May. Another 5 years he will have in power. What was once unbelievable is now looking distinctly posssible. From the turn of the year he and his team have made the best of the campaign and are seemingly turning things round. Todays news is case in point... freezing highly paid public sector workers salaries.... no real hardship to them but gives the impression of real action (to the sheeple) and simultainiuosly avoiding action now by the rank and file public sector workers... I cant stand the bloke and all of his team but theyre making a fight of it. It's a pity they couldnt make a better go of the country... Edited March 10, 2010 by Winston Wolf Quote
Guest Noodle Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Imagine how powerful he will be if Labour wins in May. Another 5 years he will have in power. A win will validate his psychosis. Very dangerous situation. I forget who it was on here that posted the thread, but the Shoe Event Horizon had the situation pretty much weighed up. Quote

It would seem that in lala land Britain, people don't realise this, but to re-elect and embolden this man would be an unmitigated disaster for this country. A disaster that would surpass the disasters that have befallen us under his current 'stewardship' of the economy. The country will be unrecognisable, and almost certainly not a pleasant place to exist - especially if endowed with a brain and some opinons. Quote

Well for what its worth I certainly now can see him getting in again. The problem is most people form thier opinions from soundbites and 5 minutes on the news. If youre working 9 - 5, still in employement, then wheres the problem? those people will not see the real issues as they have no real interest. 2/3 rds of the country shouldnt get the vote! Have to agree with edge im afraid, what we need is a new Churchill, this bs democracy doesnt work as for the last 30 years for the most part it has adopted short term policies... to get elected by short term superficial people!

piece of paper Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 One very good and reassuring bit in his speech. "I will not let you down". I was concerned that the final indignity would be him being my undertaker. p-o-p Quote
