Re: The Tories
I trust we are all aware of the tory "model" for the economy: Let business and industry run it efficiently for profit, growth, and job creation; keep government out of it. By "business" and "industry" we are meant to understand the leaders of business, the CEOs and top brass. But it seems the US experience with top businessmen (the ones who have avoided jail:D) is far from happy. And I have no doubt that the UK experience is similar. They can't seem to be trusted to wipe their own assholes without breaking the law or just plain screwing up. We have to assume by the bye that business leaders are just natural tories or Republicans.
40% of top-paid CEOs busted, bailed out or booted, study says - Business - CBC News Ok. So, it's only 40%. But how many of the rest just haven't been caught yet, or are just plain mediocre ... as in too dumb and inefficient to come up with a cute illegal plan for maximising their own personal wealth.:rolleyes: And when the bailouts arrive, we all know out of whose pockets the money comes. The poor bloody taxpayer that's who. I reas lots of stuff on here about govt. inefficiency, but the alternative seems worse. |
Re: The Tories
the problem is Eric, the current lot are not real Tories.
The government are so involved in peoples lives and propping up industries, the true conservative ideology of allowing business to take care of itself is not what we have in 2013. They supported bailing out the banks, effectively re-nationalising them. And yet they oppose re-nationalising the utilities or railways. |

Until business realizes, that in a consumer economy, it has a vested interest in a well-paid, well-educated, and contented workforce, the western economies are going to stumble from crisis to crisis. And the developing economies? Look at China, if you can see it through the toxic soup they call air.:rolleyes: |

Some people on here like to have a pop at cmonstanley and even go as far as suggesting he's a slice of bread short of a butty. It looks as if he could have the last laugh.:rolleyes::D
Tory defectors 'could boost Labour' (From Lancashire Telegraph) Tory voters deserting the party for the UK Independence Party could put Ed Miliband in Downing Street, according to polling by former Conservative Party deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft. |

I have never supported a political party but I do see myself reading about UKIP more and more, if only as a protest to make the main parties wake up and get us out of Europe |
Re: The Tories
spot on Neil.
But it isn't necessarily the human rights that are the problem, but in the way they are slavishly interpreted...other countries can deport unwanted criminals, rapists and other criminals...it is the 'bleeding heart' liberal apologists in our midst. |
