In the coming months (and years ) we are all going to have to get a grip on the grim reality that unless we (the country)have money to pay for something then it won't be there.
Look at where the shady dealings of the politicos in Greece have got that country...do you really want to head down the same road?

Would not want to go down the same road as Greece Margaret..(mind you they do have some blinding night clubs).. but then again we are not bankrupt..whatever the Mail says on Sunday or anyother day.

Always Cashy, which is more that can be said than any of those in Westminster.

Since the concept of 'money' is worthless paper, no country can be bankrupt.
The 'value' of any nation is decided on how trustworthy they are.
Most countries fail miserably

But Cameron is not a pillock in any papers.. yet we all know he is.. maybe it is time to get behind our Prime Minister and leader, but when it turns yer guts up to see his mug on the front pages saying he is the messiah, some people get peeded off.

Not me Mancie cancelled my papers ages ago, because I was sick of the one eye jock every day

Mancie's only jealous, because we've got a brand shining new Labour M.P., and he's stuck with nasty li'l Liberal Democrat, Simon Hughes, who doesn't know if he's Arthur or Martha.

You should get out more.

If you campaign hard enough you too might have a Labour M.P. in five years.

Tealeaf · 12-05-2010, 14:59

Oh dear....Mancie is not a happy bunny. Anyway - don't worry too much Mancie - in five years it will all be over.

Nice to see you take an interest in our Local politics Garinda.. but there has not been an alternative in Bermondsey since the early 80's.. but the Tories only get 14% of the vote.. proud to say we are a Tory free community,
