.....on the contrary, what you said is factual. There is nothing racist about it.

I've seen 'real' racism in the work place, and believe me it's horrid. People put through hell when all they are trying to do is earn a living just like anyone else.

If anyone is to blame for what you describe it's the bosses not the workforce.

brand u.k is NOT that any more

......I know. I also think it's time to stop messing about providing Mac Schrek-features with a cushy number bullshtting his own people, by braking up the UK and be done.

I for one am sick of the anti-English vitriol on the net coming from North of the wall, that quite honestly I can't see why we shouldn't have a referendum on whether we want Scotland joined to us. I'd be happy to get rid of it in an instant.

They've always peddled this crap about how us bad English did genocide on them, and for the last 300 years continually whinged, and most of us are so sick of their moaning I can't see why the government doesn't just do both sides a favour and tear up the Union & be done, both sides happy. Why mess about? Unless it's because messing about keeps fat political leaders in power.
:applause:

Hey JK, the holidays are here! Don't stop em unless it gets too bad. One year when I was feeling better I was sure that Scotland Yard or someone was going to show up at Steve's house! (just teasing Steve)

Not true, it's worth a lot to the exchequer

.....not to me it isn't. That bstd has been watching too much of my money and my fathers before me either leave the country or get wasted on unaccountable town hall fat cats.

Time for a hell of a change in this country.
There is no doubt that a huge amount of money is squandered in this country. The recent revelation THEY are spending £1million to create safe routes for badgers under some of our motorways...at the same time THEY are culling them as TB risks.

This sort of contradictory decision making is quite ridiculous. As are the inflated salaries of town hall and local goverment officials.

But there are two issues here.

1. Where is the best place for the UK to get its income?
2. How can we organise ourselves to spend limited income wisely?

I am under no illusions... for the time being the banking sector is crucial to the exchequer.

That doesnt stop us selling our wares to the Scandanavians and Russians. There is no EU trade embargo from dealing with non EU countries. And it would do the coffers even more good with this extra cash you feel is there for the taking.

So I would say...we should go and PROVE we can derive our income from non EU sources before we puff our chests out and shoot ourselves in the foot, burn our bridges or whatever cliche fits best. Because we would look really stupid if we took our toys home only to find brand UK isnt as saleable as we like to think it is.

But whatever the course of action, or the source of our income, there is no doubt that a better control of the expenditure in this country is urgently needed. We need to toughen up on some areas that are glaringly haemorrhaging precious resources.

We LOVE our bankers in the US. they are so........ah........Trustworthy :rofl:

Resources..........
Always know where you can get clean drinking water and keep some chickens.:thumbsup:

I wish I could find a better/legal place to keep my money than in the banks but with all the money laundering laws and the general untrustworthy nature of institutions it makes for difficult choices!

Jonathan, send half of your assets to Eric and half to me. Don't want to have all your eggs in one basket - so to speak. I will employ the time honored tradition of my relatives from Kentucky. Your assets will be divided up among several old coffee cans and buried, during the hours of darkness of course, in my yard. At my age, I will probably forget where the hell I planted them so the money will be perfectly safe. :-)

I was sure that Scotland Yard or someone was going to show up at Steve's house! (just teasing Steve)

.....Well, as it happens; I once did have MI invite me to a hotel, but that was when I worked in defence. I sussed who they were, pretty obvious really since the guy had all my personal information some of which I had never given to anyone else. Daft goons LOL

You realise of course Scotland Yard is nothing to do with Scotland.
