I did better under Labour

[Jog On]

With what the 'party for business' are doing to us contractors I see no reason not to vote and support Corby for PM!!

What no one talks about when considering the deficit and who's 'fault' it is - is this:

As of March 2006, approximately £4.5 billion ($6.8 billion) had been spent by the United Kingdom in Iraq. All of this money has come from a government fund called the "Special Reserve" which has a current allocation of £7.4 billion ($11.29 billion).[19][20] According to the Ministry of Defence, the total cost of UK military operations in Iraq from 2003 to 2009 was £8.4bn. [21]

As of 2013, summations for the UK war in Afghanistan came to £37bn ($56.46 billion) .[22] Previous calculations up to but not beyond June 2010, confirmed a figure exceeding £20bn for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined.[2

If Corby pulls us out of Nato and scraps Trident and gets us out of the middle east clusterfudge we should get the finances in shape pretty soon!

That is if he even gets that far...

Corby! Corby! Corby!

[DimPrawn]

Corby! Corby! Corby!

Deary me, this is why contractors deserve everything they get.

Indeed, but that one is just bantz.

Labour overspent, encouraged people to enjoy the high life by borrowing money that they couldn't afford to pay back but it's the naughty Tories who have to clean up the mess that they left?

Tory "cleanup" is keeping those who borrowed too much happy with low interest rates, pensioners sweet too, one of the biggest costs - NHS - is untouched more or less, so end result is that HIGHER TAXES - with token increase in high tax rate threshold more than offset by other tax increases, including pensions of those who are not yet retired. Inherited wealth Tory Scum is ok though, so I am voting for Komrade Korbyn, at least he will make those pigs squeal too.

This current Tory party are not the party for business, they are the party for Old Money.

Not to mention that nobody sees us as businesses any more. Even to pro-business people, we are not businesses but cost centres.

Correct on the first sentence.

As for the second, we're more tax cows/tax evading targets.

We live among a generation of want now, celebrity-obsessed, vacuous morons who think that they have the right to everything without lifting a finger to get it. People just don't want to hear that the government cannot simply keep bankrolling them all and won't take responsibility. /rant

This is the result of Thatchers boomers. There is no such thing as society. Boomer have had the sweet marrow and got greedy.

Fact; teenage pregnancy lower today. Fact; young take less drugs today. Fact; nightclubs are closing because the young have no money (or jobs). Fact; first time buyers are getting older. Fact; the first child is getting delayed. Fact; young have more debt, less pay, fewer jobs, lower retirement prospects, and a higher retirement age.

Boomers must pay there dues to sort this mess. 50% basic rate of tax on people over 40yrs old should do it nicely.

FTFY - nail the yuppies.
