    An excellent rant

    Old Holborn: A return to sanity

    Warning: Contains 'colourful' language and nuts.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    Beware of Geeks bearing GIFs, 12 December 2009 11:27

    ...

    I talked in front of my niece about the burqua and she immediately turned around and said "that's racist". When I gently asked her why, she didn't really know. It's the little messages everywhere, like advertising, that are changing the way people think and they are sleepwalking into slavedom.

    I drive a British sportscar that I've had for 10 years. When I first got it, generally people used to take photos standing next to it and give it the thumbs up.

    Nowadays, because of the indoctrination of this eco-green nazism, I get people looking at it and me with contempt on their faces.

    How things have changed in so few years.

      Interesting... not the only place recently where there's been talk of a bloody revolution. Is there another way out? Perhaps not any more.

        No.

          I've only read a few of his blogs, but that one was wholly uninteresting. Lacks focus. And the swearing is like a teenager who just does it to look cool... proper swearing adds something but his could be removed without changing anything other than deliberate offensiveness.

              When the Tories get in they will fix things and everything will be better.

              Stop worrying. Honestly, some of you need to get out more!

                Why does it have to be painful? Paying back debts is not always difficult... if the economy doesn't collapse (not suggesting Labour have saved us) then wouldn't this potentially mean we (the UK) could enter a period of strong growth - even a boom - while still being heavily in debt? Like a contractor getting a big mortgage but having a £500/day contract

                On a more serious note, I've not seen anywhere a good discussion what the debt per-family actually means. Is it simply higher taxes? Or will the 'hurt' come from the economy being damaged by this debt?

                  As I've often said, this huge and ever-growing debt is a blessing in disguise as it means the Government (whoever it is) must ditch all their stupid Big Brother projects and nanny state spending. After all, they can only raise taxes so far before that becomes counterproductive and unsustainable.

                    I haven't read such a load of worthless drivel in years, and I'm the one who's created an archive of TPD

                    Given your previous assertions on here, your recommendation is more of a discommendation.
