huw Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Looks like the 3 day week is coming:-http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/polit...ek-1515307.html Mike Tens of thousands of businesses are already planning to scale back working hours this year in an effort to stay afloat. But as the country comes to terms with the reality of a recession, it emerged that the Government is looking at compensating employees, through their firms – thereby drawing comparisons with the shutdowns of the 1970s. It's lucky that Gordon kept control of expenditure during the good times, meaning we have the resources now to do such things. Just imagine how badly off we'd be if we hadn't had a prudent Chancellor for all those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkG Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Are there Power Cuts to come, nobody tells me anything. :angry: Apparently EU regulations will force several power stations to close down in the near future, so you'll even get the power cuts to make you feel like it's really a Labour government . Actually, it's worse than that, because quite a few power stations are supposed to be closed in the next five years or so due to old age and there's nothing to replace them; Labour have been letting Britain's power generation infrastructure wear out while pushing nonsense like 'wind power' to funnel taxpayers' money to their mates.

Quagmire Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Conservatives are in power with a landslide victory First budget is an austerity budget. Massive spending cuts possibly due to IMF intervention. Britain is frequently referred to as "the sick man of Europe", as Europe is recovering much more rapidly than Britain. The war in Afghanistan drags on. Pakistan's government has possibly collapsed and clashes with NATO troops are frequent. Obama declares Pakistan part of the "axis of evil". Unemployment is decreasing for the first time in years. Blackouts are becoming a feature of everyday life, as Britains generating capacity is reduced and power distribution infrastructure begins to fail. All interaction with the government requires an ID card. Support for the BNP and other extreme parties has doubled. Britain's prisoner population has increased by a third. Royal Navy Future Aircraft carrier project delayed indefinitely due to budget cuts. Surface fleet is further reduced and steps are under way to merge Europe's naval forces. Another major domestic terrorist attack occurs in the UK or the USA. It is linked to Pakistan's intelligence service. Far fewer young people go to university. Food takes a much larger chunk of family income. Inner city rioting and civil unrest is frequent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sheeple Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 It will take a few years for the mess to be sorted out...but in the short to medium term... .Employment reaches 5 million and counting .More repossessed Sheeples sleeping on park benches and in doorways .Real poverty as opposed to relative poverty becomes the norm .Pensioners die in their thousands due to cold and/or starvation .Food at double the current price .Wages at half the current level .Crime levels go through the roof - burglars report record profits .The last pub to close is photographed in the 'Sun' .Supermarket shelves always half empty but report record takings .Graduates unable to find even McJobs...become agitated and are given free gripe water .Electrical power rationed .Ex Woolworths lady heard to say "What a complete f*ck-up" .Politicians increase their salaries and expenses .Prisoners get three hot meals a day and a nice comfy warm bed but still complain .Chavs live it up large on White Lightning and other things at tax payers expense .Illegal immigrants get nice council houses and lots and lots of benefits But...there is light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.... .Robert Mugabe is invited to form a new Government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patfig Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My thoughts, Massive unemployment Inflation Shortages or fuel and food therefore civil unrest A rise in land taken over for allotments and therefore an opportunity for the lost generation to learn some serious life skills Less car ownership so more people not travelling as far or using public transport ( if available) and increased bike usage. Computer games such as Wi etc teaching folks how to garden and raise chickens and skin a rabbit etc A demise of BTL and second home ownership A general lowering, through austerity, of our carbon arseprint and therefore a chance to claim some carbon arseprint tax credits Prostitution is legalised and regulated The overall health of the nation improves as all fat cu nts have to get of their fat arses and get on with it Gordon Brown disappears and is never seen again And finally, hopefully, fingers crossed in the Dunkirk spirit, communities come together to support and help each other get by, and in the immortal words of Helen Mirren, " We are going to need considerably bigger buns" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarman001 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I can see some of these things happening. And before it's too late, I am thinking of moving, before our currency is worth nothing. I'm actually pretty scared - I don't want to be left in a hell-hole... but I'm in year 2 of a 4 year PhD and don't want to quit that. Feels like I'm boxed in - argh!! This is serious - what would you do? What are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
