I'd agree with you and will also throw in that it is f'in bonkers!
It's a common saying that 'the world is going mad' but I think that it's mainly this country!

Its easy to give way other peoples money the Government has no money of its own but does have our moneywhich it gives away.
I am fed up with this but what option do we have all the main politcal parties do this and non of the smaller parties are ever going to get into power.

I can't work out why any of you thought Camoron would be any different. He is just out to make a name for himself as a world politician ... his Libya crusade being a prime example. Tony Blair Mk 2 basically. Hate to say I told you so but I did.

And the real cutbacks are still to kick in with the loss of jobs in Civil Service.
I remember Brown getting a real kicking for lack of helicopters and all the Tory Generals out in the press at every opportunity, according to recent headlines we will not be able to keep ships stationed of Libya in the near future. So where is these Generals now, or they just waiting for there Knighthood or retirement, then state what they really think.
I was worried when the Cons came to power, I got more worried with the ability and judgement of the respective Foreign and Defence secretaries in Egypt trip and Libya interference. But they both survive in this Govt, Cable stated Labour were poor in policing the Banks, he has done exactly the same and is now politically wounded and demoted to side part in this Govt.
But the press/sky/BBC seem to love Dave and let this Govt off when they crucified Labour doing the same. Was it a coincidence that the same few days the Govt were losing it on NHS, inflation, defence spending, Govt splits and losing a Tory to sex allegations we find what in the Telegraph. Tony Blair was plotted against by ***** and Co. Who cares, it is what is happening now that is important, when will the press love in with the Govt end (excluding the Lib Dem of course).
If you let Cameron and his cronies off without true journalism to do its role and ask the questions it should do without toading to the Torys, you will get Dave doing what he wants with our money and little you can do about it.

A telecom company is obviously paying the woman in the 2nd picture. Why doesn't the first woman get that deal too. She could afford to support more than one kid if she quite literally used her head.

He will doubtless continue to borrow more and more money with the ensuing interest to be paid so that he can splash it around the corrupt world leaders in an effort to appear more important to the other world leaders who will be laughing behind their hands at us.

Richard North summarises it nicely ... http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/201...dun-wrong.html ... "... As the man once said, you can **** off some of the people all of the time, and you can **** off all of the people some of the time. But you can't **** off all of the people all of the time ..."
And follow the link to the Mail story and look at some of the comments there. Not a lot in favour .....

It was interesting on the news last night to see the cosy relationship between the energy companies (those involved with the windmills) and Alex Salmond and co. The statement last night was something like "the rises in the cost of energy are mainly down to the profiteering fossil fuel companies, but we will continue to focus on our pioneering cheap renewable energy."
Really!? The cheap renewable energy that's so cheap that minimum prices have to be set for any competition from other sources and the renewables themselves have to be subsidised. It's a double whammy of value for money!
Scottish power, understandably, are in love with the idea itself and the SNP. Not because they're raking it in, oh no, but because it's the right thing for Scotland and the UK. They're so kind and charitable that they're actually lending their wise advice to the govt to try and help us all be awash with cheap and plentiful energy. Energy, again, that's much cheaper than the sources that don't require subsidy and the elimination of competition... oh yes, you better believe it.
