What country would do this?
« on: 12 July 2011, 17:46:30 »
What country would borrow £9bn to

give to an organisation...which will then

hand it to a bankrupt country...which will then

hand it over to some banks (who have already discovered that it could not pay back its debts)

...and finally default on repaying the £9bn?


Um, er, would it be the UK, perchance?

And if they ever got in.. their policies would suddenly change to be exactly like the lot we currently have, I bet.

One thing this country is very good at, in fact a world leader, is sending its (OUR) money to worthless causes!
They want sympathy? Its between sh*t and syphallis in any dictionary ;)
If a country cannot support its population then it should not have had them in the first place!
B*llocks to the bleeding hyearts and do-gooders... they are the biggest cause of the problem but first to squeal when it affects them directly....
Nuff Said ;D ;D ;D

But fuel prices need to be increased, public services have to be sold off, due to a lack of funding  >:(

No way of predicting that tbh Aaron, but the point of voting for them is that if they start taking a significant slice of the vote and even winning some seats, the Tories will have no option but to move back to the centre right of the political landscape, which is where they always were until Thatcherism ran its course. They lost their way then. ;)

I do tend to agree with you, really, Albs .. I'm just exceptionally cynical when it comes to politicians :)

Agreed.

But that £9billion is small change compared with what we now find we have got invested in the likes of Greece, Italy etc. It will end in tears. Buy gold. :y

The time to buy gold was really a few years ago, when it was $300/oz.. ah, hindsight ;D

Downing street isnt much more than an admin office these days.
The EU has control over our purse strings on many of the real important matters - such as propping up the euro, which is a currency borne from political ambition and has no sound economic basis, and is therefore doomed to failure imo. Its not if but when. We are throwing good money after bad - and we dont actually have any money to throw at it.
We need a govt. with a backbone and British interests on its agenda - somewhere near the top of the agenda would be nice.
