I've never bothered to vote since leaving the army some years ago (only voted when in the army by proxy as we were basicaly told vote conservative unless you want to loose your jobs if Labour get in they'll make big defence cuts).
To me all the political muppets should have a go at some real work or even running a company before going into politics....for example a defence secretary who's never been in the forces ?
My viewit doesn't matter who gets in they all end up as selfserving clowns, who give what seem like high profile benefits/tax cuts to all, but on the sly hammer the honest hard working tax paying little man in the street.
All wasters & I tell them so when they knock at my door canvassing....that includes the BNP numpties.
RECESSION yes the media do have a lot to answer for, but so do those that have for the past 10 years lived beyond their means on plastic cards & now have run out of lenders to swap to & clowns that have included overtime payments on mortgage applications or even those crazy enough to take out a100% mortgage .
Just bugs me when GB & his cohorts are now seen as the saviours when some of this is down to his spending when he was chancellor (i mean who in their right mind sells off their gold reserve at a give away price.) mind you he's in the perfect job to cover up past cock ups aint he
As for his bright idea of lets spend **** loads more money to get us out of a recession........now call me daft but isnt that called living beyond your means in our world? it'll have to be paid back at some point in time so leading in the future to high taxes...people not having so much disposable income & not spending ....country falling back into recession.
My view of it all anyway.
