Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

I've apologised for making the assumption that you are happy with the private option. I would argue, now, with hindsight, that the privatising of pensions was a ludicrous idea. Where do you think the city got all the money from to buy up the toxic stuff, it wasn't theirs. One of the biggest expenditures in the next budget is the debt service payments.
Next year alone Treasury interest payments will be £44.4billion, more than the entire budget of the Ministry of Defence.
It might get to 2040 before we bring the debt level down to 2007/8 levels.
Greece is paying for the disproportionate influence the wealthy have had on the political process, like our own. They are waking up to the reality of severe cuts in public spending and job losses, like we will. I wonder how our own public sector are going to react when our Politicians have to bring down the axe. At least the Bankers will be Ok
The rest of the Plutocrats are looking on anxiously.
Interesting times ahead, I wonder how far down the pecking order environmental issues will be, now that none of the West has any money.

good that was my problem, aint personal, but i reckon anyone who stands fer election should at least have some idea of what they are talking about, wether people agree wi it or not, n thats were ya lost it completly wi me.:) cos that was yer opening statement.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

Can I ditto the above and also mention that a person putting themselves forward should have the courtesy, to answer questions, especially if the questioner took time out to put forward their questions with greater effort than the original poster put forward, Ha, (please don't make me laugh), their policies.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

Less,
I've had plenty of debate over the years but I've not come across many who can talk about nothing. You have accused me of not thinking things through, I can't please everyone but don't continue your guff without backing it up. I've looked through the thread to see if there is anything substantive in what you have said so far. There is nothing, so if you are going to suggest what I say is rubbish please explain then I and one or two oinks can understand what you are saying. If you don't understand something I will explain it to you.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

You're quite correct I didn't put anything of a positive nature into the thread, why? Because I didn't get any satisfactory answers to my first post in response to your less than mediocre starter thread.

All I needed from you was clarification to show you knew a little about what you were talking about, I'm afraid there has been no evidence of such a glimmer from you all the way through.

I don't understand many things, but I don't think you have proved yourself qualified enough to assist even with the basics. Had you actually responded in a positive manner to not just my questions, but those of others in a useful fashion perhaps my attitude towards you would have been different.

Thank goodness though, it is all over, the Polls are shut, without waiting for the count we all know you aren't going to be an M.P.

I'll say my goodbye's now, after all, you no longer need accyweb you had your thread, but no brains to take advantage of the rest of the site, so we'll probably not hear much after tonight from you for possibly another 5 years, I do hope you get the chance during that time to come to conclusions on your 'policies'.
:D

I'm not a betting sort of person, but I'm not predicting a great victory.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

So long for now.....
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in my heart
Forever until the end of time.
Craig Ian Hall, I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

It is now 4 weeks after the elections .. Mr Hall when are you going to make sure your posters are all taken down. This one at rising bridge attached to the railings of the old church is still there. I took this today all of half an hour ago.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

And isn't it great!
New government , with a new name , but fundamentally with the same old policies as the last one , and like the last one doomed to fail.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

I think the words you're looking for are 'Gone, but well forgotten'.

Re: Craig Ian Hall Independent
 

If you think this new Government have the same policies as the last one.. you are in for a surprise.
