    Doomed!

    This is it. The doomesday scenario is unfolding.

    Immigration out of control
    Terrorists in our midst
    Loss of personal freedoms
    Rising unemployment
    Jobs going east
    Public services in decline
    Budget defecit spiralling out of control
    Personal debt unmanagable
    Interest rates rising
    House prices crashing
    War in the Middle East
    Oil and gas prices at record levels.

    It's all here.

    Doomed.

    Again...it is the prophecy...

    and the flat cappers shall grow restless amongst you
    and their numbers will be beyond measure.
    Darkness will fill the skys and the 08:32 to JFK will be cancelled
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Its not all gloom and doom you know.

        You could cheer youself up by doing your Christmas Shopping at Harrods.

        What wonderfull Freedoms we have !

        Oh, you dont have a job and theyve taken your credit card back?

        Never mind.

        And whilst the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse storm out,take a note from our great leader whom is busy holidaying in Barbados.

        Weather here, Wish you were lovely.

            Much as I'd like to DP, I struggle to rubbish your bullet points or counter them with any plus points.

            Your list fails to mention 'ever increasing tax measures'.

              More than 700 jobs at insurance firm Zurich could be axed as part of plans to close its Newcastle call centre and move some of the work to India.

              Zurich said it believes the business can improve its effectiveness and efficiency by operating across a smaller number of locations.

              As a result of the operational review Zurich is looking to close its Newcastle call centre by the end of March next year and transfer some work out of its Cardiff and Portsmouth operations a few months later.

              The proposals will affect all 505 jobs in Newcastle as well as 139 jobs in Portsmouth and 86 jobs in Cardiff.

                Fortunately we have Mr Prescott at the helm to steer us towards calmer waters.

                  Perhaps, as he does his token walkabout at Terminal 4 when the hubbub dies down a bit, he'll punch a token muslim.

                    So do you like high prices or low prices? Make up your mind, they can't both be bad.
