Some of their measures are either totaly stupid or totaly evil......No matter how much I hate them, I can't actually believe they are stupid because they're not, so therefore they MUST be evil...

for the benefit of anyone who hasn't been following the story,the government took their economic policy of austerity from an economic research paper that claimed that GDP growth would suddenly plummet if national debt to GDP ratio went above 90%. The paper wasn't peer reviewed, and only turned out to be complete bollocks when an economics student tried to replicate the results, and found that they had made simple mistakes in their Excel spreadsheet.

yeh, it seems like doing cuts now is the logical thing to help but thenyou'd think that an extra half hour in bed would logically make you feel better but it actually just makes you feel more tired

it doesn't seem like the logical thing to dowhen you consider the fact that money goes round in circles and doesn't just get destroyed when it is spent.

I'm not going to engage in an argument on the subject....because you'll just disagree with me one way or the other whatever I say because you're more to the left or right of me, that's just polotics, and it tends to get sorted in the middle...

OK, I was just curious.You are my cocitizen and have a laid-back attitude to many things, and I am intrigued to know your opinions.
Wasn't planning to have a heated debate, just to raise one eyebrow and say "fascinating" in the voice of Leonard Nimoy and probably leave it at that.

I was just trying to avoid a srz bzniz debate that would go no where :-)Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate this bunch with a vengence, as I orinally said I think they're evil, but do believe some pain is nesesery to get our situation sorted, and difficult decissions have to be made, If I stated just one measure they'd taken that I thought was a good one, others here would either agree or disagree more or less strongly, and a pointless debate that noone could win would ensue, when there quite obviously is no clear cut solution to solve the problems we have, we just have people with different and opposing ideas on how to solve the problem. they're poloticians and we put them where they are to do the debating for us.

The national debt is a curious thingmake a one man crazy, make another man sing.
Standing at some £1200000000000, or a similar amount. Not sure what we're going to do about that, or indeed whether we even have to, given that an enormous national debt seems to be a normal thing for any modern government. But Greece's apparently got too enormous. It's all very strange.

don't be silly!the sick are going to die eventually, might as well get it over with! as for the poor and vulnerable, well, they just make the place look untidy really, don't they? best get them out of the way, too. we can have foreign investors in then, they don't want to see the place full of sickies and povvos, do they?
btw, not my real feelings, in case you didn't know.

i'm avoiding my ex right nowhe keeps inviting me to join him in the park this weekend. he's a twat. he's had a t-shirt printed with "poet" on it and he calls himself liverpool's number one poet. this is bollocks, his poetry is dreary shite designed to attract gullible women*.
he also claims to be an artist, despite the fact that the shit he daubs on hubcaps looks like it's been done by a mentally-challenged 6-year-old.
*no, i didn't fall for it, i met him at a party.
