Point taken.

Re: brown just go.
 

It's only one point, not necessarily the right one.:p

Good to have your point of view on here though, so have some welcome karma for giving it.:)

Re: brown just go.
 

Unemployment heading for over 3million, with analysts predicting we could reach 4million and people having their homes repossessed is hurting. Cuts are needed, we have talk of our debt reaching £2.3trillion. I know enormous figures like that just look like a statistic, but it's real money! How else are we going to pay it back? We can't just keep borrowing.

Re: brown just go.
 

You could do as you did last time, sell off nationalised companies, and privatise everything.

Although you've really only got a nationalised health service left to do that with this time.

Re: brown just go.
 

And this Government has virtually done that:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

I thought you'd posted you are always pleased with the level of service provided by the nationalised health service?

Re: brown just go.
 

Happy with the service but not how its run, decisions should be made on clinical need not to satisfy whims of Government ministers and administrators obsessed with targets

Re: brown just go.
 

Of course he's a dinosaur: He's a Makingecomicsenseasaurus. In a recession such as this, one has to spend to get out of it. The govts. of Canada and the US have pumped billions into the auto industry. Most of this will help the workers, not only in the auto manufacuring industry, but also in all those sectors which feed off it. Even the unions recognize the sense of this. And you don't cut programmes that help the poor and hand money in the form of tax breaks to those who already have too much. Under right wing govts., the amount of the national wealth available to the already wealthy increases; and the poor sods who have little get less. This inequity is at the root of many social problems. Trickle down economics doesn't work .... never has, never will. The rich do not take tax breaks and invest the money in the economy. They stash it away in places like the Cayman Islands. Labour didn't cause the ecomic problems the world has faced over the past little while. The problems were caused by right wing Republican/Tory businessmen who got too greedy, and who lined their pockets (legally and illegally). They didin't, and still don't, give a rats ass about the integrity of the national economy. And these creeps are tories to the max.

Our conservative govt. works well; but that is only because it is in a minority position. They do some of the right things, not because they really want to, but because the Liberals (a tad left of centre right now), and the New Democrats (Labour), and the Bloc Quebecois (if you can't figure them out, don't worry about it), are on their asses all the time. Stephen Harper behaves because he knows his job is on the line.

Re: brown just go.
 

Yep, the 'trade in a clunker' program is working real well , be interesting to see 6 /9 months from now how many new cars are being repo'd because the poor saps can't make the payments , also interesting to see that over 60% of the new cars being bought under this new program are from overseas manufacturers hardly helping the UAW members on both sides of our common border (US-Can ) :confused: :confused: ;)

Re: brown just go.
 

your happy with the service ..but not how it's run?..and what do you reckon should be done abut a service you are happy with?..keep taking the gas Jaysay but it does seem to get you confused these days

Re: brown just go.
 

I'm happy with the people that provide the service, but not with the people in ivory towers that make the decisions, to me decisions should be made by clinicians, for the good of the patient, not somebody only there to placate the government targets. People running the NHS should have a full medical background not out of work double glazing salesmen or former supermarket managers

Re: brown just go.
 

So if I was an out of work double glazing salesman, I could get a job running the health service could I?

Re: brown just go.
 

With qualifications like that you could be PM, and run the whole country:mosher:

Re: brown just go.
 

...although you would need to be Scottish too, or have been educated there.

:D

Re: brown just go.
 

Your lot installed the Private Mangement scheme in 1988..and we were told would do wonders for the NHS..the first sacked and privatised were the cleaners.. then the caterers.. these are the people you are most likley to start on on when having a go at the NHS ..talk facts man..then we all know were we stand.

Re: brown just go.
 

Please dont insult Scots. The bam in Downing Street is from Fife a region that thinks its better than everywere and everyone else. :eek::p

Re: brown just go.
 

With this governmen to right, so long as you were a party faithful:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

Only last month I was talking to the engineer who deals with my home oxygen supply who had been to a meeting the previous day, a new senior respetry nurse had taken over ( incidentally she used be West Enders Nurse) also at this meeting was the new area coordinator for the home oxygen service, after this meeting this engineer was talking to the new area coordinator, he asked how she was getting on, she replied she was getting the hang of it, he then asked what department she worked in previously, I didn't work in the health service I was area rep for a wholesale Grocery firm. One week selling baked beans to supermarkets the next coordinating home oxygen, wonderful:(

Jobs for the boys or Girls:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::roll eyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

From what I read Jaysay, this lady is well qualified to take over a post such as this. Seems like all the best jobs in HBC have gone to Conservative members if you require an example of 'jobs for the boys'.. :p

I understand people saying that if you take over a job (as per your little example), that they should be qualified on their product ... like the product in the NHS is us ... the sick. However, are councillors and M.P.s the most qualified to take up their positions ? They all have to rely on advisors whether it be Leisure, Dustbins, Police, Education, Transport, Planning, Housing, Economic matters etc., 'Jack of all Trades; Master of None' in other words.

What qualifications did your friend (PB) have to wield so much power over the spending of our taxes ..... wasn't he a teacher or summat ? ...:rolleyes:

BBC NEWS | VOTE 2001 | CANDIDATES

I have posted this handy c.v. from the B.B.C. before on Accy Web.

It's unclear whether he supplied all the details, and associated spelling mistakes, himself. As no one has commented when I've drawn attention to it.

As a c.v. details are pretty scarce. No mention of selling sweeties, or even ladies frocks.

If I received this document in the post I'd only bother replying if the job in question was of the menial variety.

(Although he was working at my primary school whilst I attended, I was never one of his special needs pupils. Thank God.)

:D

Re: brown just go.
 

I am led to believe Peter was a good teacher. It's just a pity he didn't stick to it

Re: brown just go.
 

I've posted that he was on this forum, and that children that he taught, who I know, loved him.

Perhaps the four walls of a classroom are a more secure environment for containing megalomania, than a political boundary.:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

They recon Mr Jones is a good printer let's hope me never gets he chance of a career move:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

I'm just wondering where this job was advertised or are the only qualifications that you have to be a Labour Lackey:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

You will really have to start reading your own links Jaysay, one reader gave the answer :D :

Appointments Commission - apppointments section home page

Re: brown just go.
 

Its bad enough reading articles let alone readers comments, life's to short, the appointments commission will be top heave with Government place people who make sure the right people get the right jobs, well I suppose she had to find some way of replacing her £46000 a year salary from LCC, unfortunately she have to make do with £23000, but after all its only part time:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

I wouldnt mind 23k for part time work. Mind you though if rumours about MP's working less then maybe they need to clock in the same as the rest of us base workers have to.

Re: brown just go.
 

Toad of Toad Hall simply has to go. Now that the Yanks are on Brown's case with the scathing (but true) editorials in the American press following the release of the Locherbie Bomber, surely it's time for the scurvy Westminster crew to walk the plank.

Re: brown just go.
 

No way; they would scare the sharks. Question: does anyone really give a flying you-know-what about what the yanks think:confused: We don't ... and we are their neighbours. When our politicians pee off the Americans, their popularity goes up.:mosher:

Re: brown just go.
 

We have little choice over here as any elected UK Government is rendered toothless by the unelected shower in Brussels. I'd endure the Yanks over the ungrateful Frogs any day of the week.

Re: brown just go.
 

Sounds like it's time that someone in parliament grew a pair:rolleyes:

Re: brown just go.
 

The only balls in parliment are balls ups. Mindyou with some of the dickheads in there you would there would be a few extra large bean bags about.

Re: brown just go.
 

And the main one is called Ed:D

Re: brown just go.
 

When junior defence ministers start to throw in the towel, our armed forces are left in even more of a limbo than they currently are. What a shameful way for any government to behave. Balls! This lot are surely the most craven bunch of cretins ever to grace the halls of Westminster.
