Why No Public Enquiry?

[John Marwood]

If anyone can show me where the join is between Thatcher and Cameron please stand up - each and every Government since Thatcher has practiced making the rich richer and the less well off work longerharderforless
-
The Blair Government was more right wing than the Heath Government so merely slagging off the party that gets the most slagging off in the press is a tad lazy...

The biggest shame of this whole financial mess is that we will not learn from it, and the Conservatives who can be no worse than Labour, get power just in time to fix things and put us on the road to recovery only for Labour to take power back at the next general election.

I will presume you are of course avin a larf ere..

If not - welcome to the forum mr lefroy or whatever ya name is

Apologies if this sounds argumentative but because I don't support Labour that makes me Mr Lefroy? I don't support the Conservatives either, in fact I don't support politics in general, the sooner they make a computer that can run the country the better.

Labour are idiots if they want power back so soon, surely the need the tories to get some money in the bank first? It all goes in cycles, blues pile it up and reds chuck it about. What we need is someone in between, that also makes sensible policies. So we're screwed.

I remember reading recently that in some poll or other Labour had already started regaining the publics favour, they'll get in next time guaranteed and just in time for the country to start heading into the good times between the boom/bust cycle Brown was going to free us from.

Yes, I'm sure you're right.

When the next wave of cheap credit arrives, more sub prime and self certified mortgages will be sold and repackaged across the globe, whilst the bankers earn a healthy profit.

They called it a 'Global Financial Crisis', I really do think the next one will be a 'Global Financial Megapocalypse' not just an Apocalypse but a MEGApocalypse, there will be rioting in the streets, cars will burn, zombies will ram-raid cashpoints and things will go to hell ... or maybe not.

Yep..

My contact at the FT puts us online for a return to 1981

Higher inflation is already with us - ignore the stats on this one and look at your bank account -

In 1981 both couples in ya average household didnt go out to work as a rule - now its a necessity..

Fuel will decide the future of our world - Oil and Food - Only war and famine will follow

If you want to know what will happen in the future - look back in history

The further ahead you want to look - the further back you go...

Time for a swift half methinks

It's called "progress" or "woman's right to work" or something, I think.

I think the ladies have had the right to work for a few years before 1981, if I am not mistaken . The point I make is that we were never ever financially better off as a two adult household until the second adult also worked, in modern times, despite all the illusions governments, the media and advertisers would have you believe - I think it might be better called financial necessity...
