So here we are heading in to a new year and what does our wonderful PM tell us except it's going to be bad news ahead.

Is it just me or don't you think that the PM should be a bit more positive, perhaps even giving a bit of a Rah-rah speech to motivate the country?
After all if he was an MD of a company and he did this his shareholders would want him removed for de-motivating the workforce.

I seem to remember him saying a few weeks ago he hadn't time for people who took a negative attidude and didn't see the positive side of things!

The guy is clearly out of his depth, can't we have him assassinated or something and put someone in place with a more positive and motivating attitude?

 

Yay! We're all going to die!!

Anyway in case it does turn out into a post acpocalyptic world like in Mad Max, I've got dibs on the Optimax refinery in Texas. I will rename myself similar to Master Blaster but to avoid copyright laws (if there are any by then), I'll call myself Master Baiter.

 

Just dont listen to him,i dont.

 

He can say what the heck he wants when the opposition is stuck with its head up its @rse.

 

I prefer frank honesty to spin. People always moan no matter what he says

 

Blair would'nt know honesty even if it bit him on the a**. Only time he uses it is if he's backed into a corner.
I'm not pro or anti-labour. Just can't stand mealy mouthed, hand wringing, amoral *****.

Ah yes 'frank honesty', he most likely learned that from Cherie, NOT!!

 

Company insolvency's up by 10% last year with the highest affected sector being IT with 30% of them going to the wall


Sainsburys selling off its DIY chain Homebase do they foresee a large recession or house price crash where nobody is doing home improvements


House prices going towards the edge of the plateau with a long drop on the other side as this year the rest of the country catches up with the southeast before the big slide happens nationally


Pre Xmass retail sales down on previous years


Low interest rates will finally come to an end


NI increase


when these factors and many many others are coupled with the record amount of consumer credit, the **** will really hit the fan

I haven't actually heard what the PM said but i gathered it was not good.

I just want to know if he (and his cohorts) are willing to accept the responsibility for the problems people will soon be facing?

 

I agree with Paul. Just don't listen

I keep an eye on the news, but i don't believe everything that i hear, Only 1 side of the story is ever shown .

 

Heseltine reckons it is a political trick:

Make things out to be really bad so that when things actually go quite well, you will be in a good position to 'take the credit'.

It all makes sense suddenly....
