Proud to be British (again)

One for all you devotees of Cameron.
You pay off the credit card, and i`ll do some spending. Nearly as good as you do the fighting, i`ll do the talking.

Laughed at by the World.
Just another leader with an overinflated sense of self importance. Won't this make the 3rd successive 'Saviour of the World'?

Message to Dave.We can't afford it mate.Think of the people in this country first and use it on them/us. Or are you lying and we are not as broke as you say?

When that c0ck Dave says the Government is paying off the national debt, what he really means is that the public are paying with their jobs, pay and pensions.

His paradox is that we are a consumer society yet we have no consumer confidence because of his austerity measures.
Just how will we get out of this hole?

Yet the confidence we had before was built on consumer debt and subprime mortgages. It was a bubble that had to burst.

So how do we get out of this hole? Paying off loans and credit cards has to be a good start doesn't it?

Its a start but who can afford it?.....apart from Dave and his chums.

Which is what he was going to say in his leaders speech to his minions.

Until some one mentioned it might look a little bit like he didn't understand that people are skint, therefore in debt and are therefore skint.

and

If people stopped spending in retail and paid of the credit card instead, then the retail sector would collapse further.

Caught by the bolloxs Dave.

We need to stop paying other countries huge amounts of money, the overseas policy should have been stopped the minute we knew we were in the p00p. x billions for this, x billions for that. hold on Cameron you massive bell pipe your own country is in the clag!

So the big plan is Quantative easing, or in laymans terms giving the banks that got us in the sh!t in the first place 275BILLION in the hope that they start lending to us erks......................well the first 200Billion didnt work!

Probably a bit controversial, but I'd rather have him than Ed Elastic-band and his band of merry spenders...

Just been on the Beeb this.

Apparently the first £200bn from last year was 14% of GDP.
And it boosted the economy by 2% of GDP.
Now obviously i`m no economist, but i think i might see a small flaw in a plan when we spend 14 to get back 2. But apparently i`m on my own, because we`re going to give it another go with another £75bn.

Have you noticed that nobody`s seen Gordon Brown for a couple of years. I reckon he`s holed up in the Treasury/Bank of England co-ordinating this fiscal brilliance. Shuttered windows and bolted doors, "if anyone rings tell them i`m Danny Alexander".


If they`re going down the road of printing money to get it into the economy, they`d do much better (and better thought of) to give every pensioner a million quid, with the proviso that they can`t go on a foreign holiday or buy a new foreign car.
I might have to take back that bit above where i say i`m not an economist.DT_Xtremez_42:

You obviously have not considered payback in future years following the £14bn investment.

 

[wgaf]

Who was in power when the banks ran amok? Oh yes that's right. Blair, Brown and the rest of the fukkwit Socialists! The problems started for Britain when Labour decided they needed to invest for their socialist, welfare state in order to breed a generation of people that rely on benefits, indocrinating in these people the idea that "If those big nasty Tories get into power then they'll cut the welfare state and your benefits" in an effort to prevent common sense prevailing and the voting public voting in someone to sort this mess out. Now, weather you like it or not this country is in an unholy mess, it has been compounded to the nth degree by Blair and Browns criminal fiscal mismanagement, that should see them in a court. Whatever mistakes the previous Conservative government made they left a country in a respectable economic state with plenty of reserve. A reserve they blew on endless fukkwit policies.
I fukkin despise modern socialism. I work hard for my money, why the fukk should I support Brittany on the council estate with 4 kids by 3 dads who hasn't worked, and never intends to, a day in her worthless life.

Quality rant wgaf, but is it in this thread by design ?

You could ask if this whole thread should be on a RAF rumour website. What's it got to do with the RAF or rumours?

 

[Rocket_Ronster]

I think a thread on our foreign policy is very relevent to our armed forces, particularly when we are increasing that spending by 34%, and yet cutting back on the RAF capabilities and personnel.

 

[Stevienics]

I dont agree with the Tory policy on foreign aid, Europe or the speed of welfare state reform. I too can see no redeeming features in any future labour administration in any matter whtsoever, nor any statesmen arising to replace professional politicians, who have no experience, no feeling for right and wrong and by far wost of all, no class whatsoever.

There is no point going on about it - it will not change anything.

There is only one outlet. Vote acccording to your wishes, being those wishes they keeping the ****tiest people out or voting the least criminal people in.

 

[John Lloyd]

Just think, next time you are down and out in East Africa. That's all the way down from Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia and Kenya. You can wave your British passport and be treated as a saviour and all round good egg.

or

You might just be spirited away as a ransom victim.

I think I'd rather be French (God that hurts to say it).

He's the best (?) of a bad bunch, I reckon.

However, it may be that "foreign aid" is not straight cash, but in the form of goods and/or services sourced in the UK (which would point to jobs etc..). So GDP could rise.

Even if the aid is in the form (initially) of goods/services, it regularly ends up as Whisky & Guns!
