Or a top company head has a golden parachute. the SKB head is better off being totally incompetence, as he will make more money being paid off. What pissed me off yesterday is that a prescription drug I got from the chemist has they name on, so I/we pay for this incompetence and "greed".
I have never read such crap!
I bombard you with sense constantly.
Which is a badge some of us would wear with pride, bearing in mind what the pseudo-commies get up to. I'm old enough to remember the last time this shower got in and the utter devastation they caused.
RAOTFL ... again. I'm prepared to reserve judgement, but there are many people who regard New Labour as a betrayal of 100+ years of socialist tradition.
Actually, all this "government is bad for you" nonsense reminds of the kind of people who live in caves in the mountains of Montana with 10 years supply of tinned food, carefully protecting themselves with bacofoil from the effects of the death rays emanating from the black helicopters based at Area 51 ...
What devastation would that be?
In those cases it isn't the profit that is obscene, but instead the corporate modus operandi. A profit of 80% is just that. The point of contention should be how the company has conducted itself in order to generate those profits.

Presumably, then, you regard:
- the poll tax
- the Miners' strike
- the police being used as the paramilitary wing of a political party
- taking the country to war over a few sheep
- the wilful destruction of manufacturing industry
- the wilful destruction of the communities supported by manufacturing industry
- selling off national assets at bargain basement prices
as *positive* aspects of the Thatcher years???
I honestly can't think of any good that came out of Thatcher. There was a hell of a lot of bad though. Sad days, very sad days.

And the Government should do then what it should do now.
Nothing.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
It's obscene that Gordon Brown thinks he can run my life better than I can.
Forgive me if I fail to have any sympathy whatsoever for people who get themselves into unsustainable debt through greed.
In case you haven't twigged; me too.
Given how mildly right-wing Maggie was, I'm always amazed at the foaming diatribes she provokes among people who (wrongly) believe themselves to be centrist.
You and me, both.
There are many people who think Elvis is still alive. They're deluded, too.
Nonsense? How many hundreds of millions of people have Governments killed in the last 100 years?
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."
That's George Washington. Was he the "kind of people who live in caves in the mountains of Montana"?
QED. If you cannot refute someone's argument, accuse them of being a loon. And snip out the bit where they say this is what will happen.
What about those who just want to buy a tiny flat and have to pay 5 times their salary to do so? Is that greed?
Christian.
But that's a minority and you know it - most people who get into a bad debt situation do so because they feel it necessary to live well beyond their means. The prevalence of granite worktops is a symptom of this disease which is currently afflicting our nation.
Yes!
Look at todays standard of living, this is due to Thatcher. It has been fouled up by Major/Clarke and now by Bliar/Brown. We are living in the Scottish communist state and it is getting worse. I knew Major was incompetent, but he was an amateur compared to this lot! Regards Capitol
Agreed! and capital flows to where the best profits can be generated. That is certainly not in the UK! The idea that you can manipulate a production market on anything but a short term basis is a fallacy.Why we still produce steel is beyond my understanding, apart from a defence requirement. Brown's energy taxes will soon remove that part of the economy and much else. The legacy of the Brown years will be vastly increased taxation, lost productive jobs and IOM wild inflation. The present economy to my mind resembles a sand castle, which will be swept away when the tide comes in. The unemployment levels in Scotland and Wales are already looking pretty sick as a result of his policies. Why do you think that the RMT in Scotland want to join the Scottish Socialist party?
Regards Capitol
No, stupidity. History shows us that house prices are cyclic and it is necessary to buy at the right point in the economic cycle. Now is not the time to buy. I'd wait 2 years at the moment, for the economy to stabilise before moving. IMO the chances of major capital losses are too great at the moment with a Socialist Taxation Chancellor.
