Thedelldays Posted 27 November, 2008 Share Posted 27 November, 2008 and you should be entirely grateful for it - how much does one of those boats you work in cost to build and then maintain? tax money has paid for your training, tax has paid your wages, and tax will pay your pension. will remember that the next time the firefighter go on strike and want a 47% pay rise..or the next time there is a severe weather front that wipes out a power station or the next time a disease ravages livestock... unless you fancy shovelling dead cows? or putting fires out with 1950's equipment whilsy brand new shiney red engines are sat in the fire stations? didnt think not.. that is right, they build subs to sit and never do anything and i get paid for the hell of it....

teamsaint Posted 27 November, 2008 Share Posted 27 November, 2008 it doesn't help either if the business you work for is run by tossers. The company I work for is going to , quite possibly, have its future decided by one days sales, that day being tomorrow.

Mole Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 Personally i'm not feeling the recession. My company is having to turn away orders at present and is very strong. The recession is in fact helping. Happy days. What i would say is that i think the UK is well placed to weather the storm despite what many forecast. The weakness of the £ puts British businesses in a strong position to sell to Europe. Also banks should start lending again in Janauary/February so i don't think the credit squeeze will be so much of a problem soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the pioneers, the first country in the world to implement socialist medicine. Obviously I was too young to appreciate or understand it at the time, but Thatchers snuggle with Regan and strict adherence to Milton Freidmans laissez-faire economic model, ie. "sell off everything, wreck the unions and dont touch the economy" saw us lose any of the strong socialist model we did have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Bognor Posted 28 November, 2008 Share Posted 28 November, 2008 (edited) It seems to me such a waste of a potentialy workable system in Socialism, yet it has a bad reputation in this country and America purely because of the cold war Hmmm. Interesting concept. The fact of the matter is that this country has been ruled by the centre right for the majority of the last hundred years. Overall, it is a pretty good place to live and the envy of much of the world. In the last 40 years, whenever we have a 'socialist' government, we were left with a screwed economy. This current lot were left with the legacy of a growing economy and look what happened. If anything, the current lot are looking more like a totalitarian dictatorship as each day passes. Their leader took control without so much as a vote and now we have political opponents being arrested. Robert Mugabe has more legitimacy than Clown has - at least he was voted into power (before he started rigging elections) We have major abuses of power - using anti-terror legislation to seize the assets of another democratic country to cover up the fact that the FSA (appointed by Comrade Crown) failed to regulate properly. Anti-terror legislation used against an MP who leaked a document, when this totalitarian regime has been leaking things for years. They want to lock people up for 42 days without trial? The very basis of our legal system is that you are innocent until proven guilty, and this is being eroded each day. More people die from asbestos poisoning every year than in road accidents, yet we are getting cameras on every road "to reduce road deaths" - I suppose it is hard to make cash out of making building sites safer - so much for standing up for the working man (who is left to choke to death) Edited 28 November, 2008 by Johnny Bognor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robsk II Posted 29 November, 2008 Share Posted 29 November, 2008 if I'm hard done by after buying a new appliance which breaks down, i don't think "ah **** it, its ok, I could be living in Darfur". There's a middle ground I think between the two extremes in regards to this. For one thing, it isn't really workable to continually think in terms of relativity. if we feel bad, we do. On paper, it may not be as woe-worthy as something else someone has gone through, but if it feels bad to us, while perspective should be used, it just does. We can't go through our lives always considering the whole world, as we were born into this society and should live our lives without feeling intolerable guilt as it achieves nothing. However - I think we should at least make an effort to appreciate our standard of living, and also that of others compared to us. In doing so, we should attempt to gain enough perspective to enable us to hold on to the realities of the world at large, and our own situations and problems, in the wider context, even as we do live in our microcosm. Also, of course, if we do really care about how bad others have it, how many of us have downed tools and gone to help in the most direct way possible? Not many. Some of us make a contribution or do other things to impact on the world.. well, not always positively, but less negatively, and I think this should be farly standard. We have a right to live our lives in our society, but the position we are in should come with responsibilities that priviledge allows us to choose. I for one genuinely do try to keep context about things happening in my life by thinking about things like Darfur. I will pay a little more for things - though not more than I can actually afford, there's that line - if I believe it might actually be a good thing to do so. In short, putting our fingers in our ears (la la la) to either the world at large our the reasonable pragmatisms of our own existence is stupid. As with most things, a balance between the two is, at least in my view, the best course. I don't think there's a lot of point in continually being critical about every element of our admittedly decadent society and lifestyle, but equally, I cannot understand or tolerate people who literally give no thought whatsoever to others in the world as long as they are ok.

Robsk II Posted 29 November, 2008 Share Posted 29 November, 2008 Also, in regard to sex changes etc.. I'm pretty certain many more people in other countries will die worse deaths and more preventable ones than the pensioners you mention, TDD. That doesn't make it OK, of course, but in context, in the coldest statistical terms, at least they are pensioners at all. Many don't make any age across the world. Also - the price of that sex change op you mentioned - we almost certainly take that much capital and much more out of national assets of other countries, and feed it into our own economy, every single day. So while I can, on the surface, understand your consternation about balance of spending etc at times, there are much bigger, more fundamental issues at work.

Will the Labour party not stand at the next election because they would be beaten?. If this was democracy at work, why do the Lib Dems bother? Exactly so.

People are entitled their opinion. I agree, we have got it quite good but the country is falling. It's far too stressful living in this country because every few months the tax keeps on rising. The rising wont stop. AS FOR foreigner, yeah they waste the resources of this country. it makes me sad for the amount of benefits we are paying. OH, and british people who claim benefits because they are too lazy to get a job. I have noticed by the amount of good cars and expensive stuff these people throw away, from I was a refuse collector. Stupid amounts of money is being thrown away on these people. The law of benefits need to be more strict on people, and the laws need to be as strict as Australias laws to make this country a better and well respected place. The country is sinking into a new dimension. Such a small country but yet paying out so much to foriegners and people who recieves council tax. I just hope that we will get a prime minister who will inspire us and make us the country we can be. AS FOR Gordon Brown.. as a public figure, people hate the look of him and hate his leadership. ALSO I hate labour and that dawin bloke. What is stupid is having a stupid tax plan for the rich. It wont benifit in future. Will just make the country less stable. It will have a very bad effect on the house market, in terms of morgage. It will destroy businesses.

TheCholulaKid Posted 2 December, 2008 Share Posted 2 December, 2008 I bet you are wealthy and in your own world. People are entitled their opinion. I agree, we have got it quite good but the country is falling. It's far too stressful living in this country because every few months the tax keeps on rising. The rising wont stop. AS FOR foreigner, yeah they waste the resources of this country. it makes me sad for the amount of benefits we are paying. OH, and british people who claim benefits because they are too lazy to get a job. I have noticed by the amount of good cars and expensive stuff these people throw away, from I was a refuse collector.

I thought at first you had it in for Darwin (being the bicentennial and everything) and then I realised you must mean Alistair Darling. 'Quite good' - doesn't do it justice mate. Go and spend some time in a country less fortunate than ours. Seriously do it, it'll change your opinion on life (for the better I might add) As for being wealthy...no chance. Money just isn't that important to me. Doing a challenging and satisfying job is though. Money aint everything (it's not even half of it) despite what most people think.
