    A sign of the times in the world we live in..

    Was driving into town and the first radio advert was C***** offering to wipe out your credit card debts on a no-win-no-fee basis.. their parting slogan "don't let the banks win"...

    The second advert straight after was a foreign person in a broken English accent praising the local University for giving her an education, and how 3 years ago she knew no English at all.

    Later that night an old work colleage sent me a message on Facebook to explain that she'd be worse off going back to work and is planning a third kid...

    It got me thinking... this country is f**ked...

          Nice to see your "tax dollars" at work, isn't it. Thank goodness for IR35, so we have an opportunity to contribute even more (not that any of us do, of course. )
