Not half.

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

They probably will, in a few years' time when the problems of an aging population get even worse - I can just hear the bright-eyed young spin doctors working on it "Hey, why not present it as an ingenious new sustainability incentive? That'll play well with the environmental lobby!".:)

Where are Social Services in all this?? Girl of 14, pregnant, isn't that against the law ?

Still we can say the mother is doing her bit for the country providing lots of young ones who will be earning and providing taxes for the elderly to come.
Except they are mostly girls

¿Cynical? ¿me?

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

All my friends in the UK are telling me that things are going to change re' the benefit system big time. It's reassuring to know (in a way) that this is total nonsense

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

As is typical with the tories, this is just an assult on the weak and powerless.

Look at them all.

We must get the dole shirkers to work!
Pensioners must work for longer!
Disabled to face benefits cuts.

etc etc etc. There aren't jobs for the shirkers, the pensioners are clogging up jobs that could be given to younger people, and when the disabled lose their houses whatever, what happens then?

Duuuhhhh.

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

The only recollection of the Torries in power that I have are huge strikes, everything up for sale, 18 percent interest rates, (nice for those with money) no electricity or street lights at night, poll tax protesters.

I was in school then but after such a short time they are bringing back all those memories.

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

Tories and Labour will both screw you and are as useless as each other. (the reason I don't criticise the useless Liberals is they have as much chance of weilding real power as I have flying to the moon.)

The difference is that Labour has to pay lip service to the poor.

There's nothing quite so offensive in my eyes as rich politicians with a couple of homes screwing the rest of us out of our hard earned.

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

Yes, bring back Bumbling Brown :p

the country really needs a shot of arsenic in the arm to get all the benefit scroungers back out of work, young mothers back into their council flats, visitors taking £250,000 NHS expenditure to assist in births. Open the borders and let all and sundry into the country, close all the detention centres and just give them a certificate saying British with free passport.
Let all the teenagers stay at home until 25 by which time they will have had at least 3 kids by different women.

Lets bail out Southern Cross so we can dump more elderly into homes to watch the clock. In fact lets reduce the retirement age to 55, that will clear the jobs situation nicely, the average time in a care home is approx 2 years so there will be a big boost to the Co-op Funerals business.

sounds such a nice place :rolleyes:

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

thats because after even a short term with Labour at the helm the country was just spend spend spend with no thought for the (taxpayer) pocket

You will also be old enough to remember the Thatcher/Major period when the pound was strong, the country was rolling in money. Where do you think Bumbling Brown and his boss Bliar got all their money from in the first 5 years. They then spent 12 years borrowing - even sold our gold reserve at what was politely put as "a discount".

come the revolution.......

Re: Has the UK gone totally insane?
 

Well I'm not into politics, but I thought they had simply lived off all the money from everything they sold off and now there is nothing left to sell, you/we are being asked to foot the bill.
