But the increased amount of McDonalds wrappers, empty crisp bags, pizza plates and beer cans are bound to supplement the dog-dirt polluting the streets.

Now I won't say your completly wrong, I will agree that this Government is a shambles, I also suspect given the present economy a Labour Government would also be a shambles.
Could you clarify something for me? Is this Government more of a shambles because:-
They should have forced the drivers to go on strike sooner?
Or
Because they probably don't want the drivers to go on strike?

got me thinking today that the tanker drivers will as of now be making extra deliveries, therefore getting wacking amounts of money for overtime, so even if they do strike they've already made up their shortfall of cash.

Saw this pic on facebook tonight, made me giggle!

To be honest all governments make cock up's and the same goes for 13 years of Labour.. but this time we have two of the major parties working together and within less than two years they have managed to cock up everything.:D

You sure about that ? Could any government really manage to run a country with so many millions of idiots living in it that go out panic buying something that there isn't even a shortage of yet.

When a goverment tells the population to stock up with petrol and fill the tanks up then millions of people will do just that..fact is millions of people can be conned by any government.:eek:

Have to disagree wi that, What were the media focussing on before this stupid announcement? They were focusing on those Donors having dinner at No 10, n fair getting slagged fer it!,by the public as well as media, So the owd ploy of diverting the attention away was used, The general public,consisting of millions of idiots, bought it hook line @ sinker.:rolleyes:

Anyway, just heard that the Burka Brigade may well have just elected Gorgeous George Galloway as MP for Bradford West/East Lancs East in the bye election. Therefore as part of his election manifesto, cars will be banned from those towns where the muslims outnumber the native peoples. So no more taxis or cars for you lot - it's either a mule, donkey or the roof top of a single decker bus.

Bon Voyage!
