No we just have a few inept people who don't live in the real world, they're in their own bubble, thinking that the world only started in May 2010, and that's you, never has so much rubbish been spouted by one person on one web site by one person, why don't you just join a web site in Free Scotland and annoy them for a few years, or take up watching football

but the politician said the previous goverment ,;when he should have said the previous previous goverment

the truth is out there.who created employment support allowance which took more people off the sick than any previous goverment before them. they were doing it in a humane way not like this goverment who have been finding terminally ill people fit for work.

Why have you put up this poll?.....I thought you were sure about it. I thought you had all the answers......now you want to ask us for evidence...or perhaps our thoughts.........haven't we been explicit enough in that other long running thread that you contribute to?
Can't you understand that all politicians, of all parties only have one thing in mind......that is making life easy and pleasant for themselves and their families...making sure there is gravy to dip their bread in.
They are all the same.

its called being democratic

Margaret Pilkington · 31-03-2013, 13:14

There is no such thing as democracy.......those who ask the question and have it answered, have found someone else to blame when it all goes wrong.
If voting changed anything (and any vote on here, certainly changes nothing) they would stop the common man from doing it.
The political classes see us as plebs, and most of them consider us uneducated plebs too.

You're applying the word "humane" to the governments of Bliar and Brown? You really do live on another planet, don't you?

Sounds more like deceitfulness as opposed to ineptitude to my me regardless who the government at the time were during the switching .

Did he rescue mortgages?

What would have happened to the mortgaged homes if he had let Nothern Rock collapse?
