Can I be minister of education please? :-)

Since I've never travelled out of England, ever, it only stands to reason that, in our surely highly successful government, I should be foreign secretary.

yes sure,

*flies off with her Justice cape flowing behind her*

There should be a minister for the postdocs. Let's start with me. :p

Please can I be minister for science?!

Ah so this is a left-wing forum! No wonder we failed to see eye to eye at times.

Labour ruined the country. Mass immigration which we had no say in, selling our gold at record low prices, public sector expansion which the private sector is squeezed to pay for, pension liabilities in the trillions of pounds, power given to youngsters instead of teachers and police, benefits culture that makes working a joke, 200%+ house price inflation when wages never rose to the same degree, 50% degree target making the value of a degree a joke, further destruction of manufacturing and engineering, instead focusing the economy on asset prices and banking - I could go on. (Housing is my major gripe - if it had been properly included in the inflation figures we would have had hyper-inflation years ago - the cost of living is tremendous).

As a practical engineer I look forward to the hard medicine that has to be administered. Any party would have had to made cuts but left-wing loons can't shake the 'bad Tory' image. Fact is Labour have always come to power with a budget surplus and left with a huge deficit - make no mistake, this is Labour's fault. Socialists are effectively communists - they take money off the people to expand the State and create a dependency through this benefits culture.

Time to get our heads out of the sand and face up to facts - we've been living way beyond our means, smelling the roses for too long. We've got to start making real money again and start cutting out waste. I look forward to facing reality, and to contribute to a wealthy economy through my engineering output. Let's balance the books and stop living in fairy land at last - PHEW!

hmm I would say Tories ruined the country, especially considering my hubby has to pay (a ransom) of £6k per year just to get to work on the train :-s Stupid privatisation. Now he's a 'customer' not a passenger, yet when he pointed out that 'customer is always right' they didn't want to know! Rubbish!

I like Clegg :-x I walked past him in westminster last week and he has a nice bum.

hee hee

I think the last 20 years have proved pretty abysmal.
One thing we need to fix for sure - how are we going to make money?
Thatcher had a get out of jail card with North Sea Oil. But what now? The Indians and Chinese know a strong grounding in maths & science is a good bet - the Germans know manufacturing is a good bet - have we been left behind?

Anyway -back to work!

ooh I know, what about rock! like blackpool rock! We could sell that?? Or we could pimp out MPs to businessmen (although i think they already do that)

I don't get why they can't quantitative ease their way out of the debt i.e. I owe £4.50. I have £2.50 in my account, oh wait, if I quantitative ease it, I now have £12.50 in my account- problem solved! woop woop. the money we owe doesn't even exist anyway, its all made up by silly self important men.

Off to paint houses of parliament the PGF colours!

a nice salmon pink, purple and orange?! I look forward to seeing that on tv sneaks!! (up)

See if you can dump a pot of it over oul Dave on the way.. :p
