OT Cameron gone bonkers...

[Man at B&Q]

Wrong house, idiot. It was the IRA.

Nationalise the banks. Then, for example, public borrowing to support mass construction with training in trades/professions. Degrowth.

The reasons are of interest but largely immaterial to the solution.

Cameron isn't capable of standing up to his pals in the press - so no chance against the financial sector.

Jhesus Christ, no.

It was Brown and Bliar buggered up the economy. society and a lot of people's lives.

[Nathaniel Zabriske]

That's a good idea. We own the Royal Bank of Scotland. I don't know how much the Taxpayer coughed up prior to ownership, but losses thus far are £5.5bn.

I'm not qualified to diagnose if Cameron is bonkers or whether he'll be cured by a good dose of nuLab fiscal medicine ........

Yet another housing led boom -to be followed by yet another housing led bust

[Herod Picky]

He didn't bugger up everyone's lives. I can think of one person who did rather well out of his Premiership and a £12m income suggests assets of £100m:

Yep a true patriot, makes you proud to be British. If anyone deserves a state funeral, I trust Liechtenstein, Cayman Islands etc., gives him one.

What fault with 'exasperate' would a spill chucker find?

[Man at B&Q]

Helped out by those eager for every bribe and incentive going, regardless of technical merit, morality or long term sustainability. UK citizens have a lot to answer for, too.

I've done quite well, but then I didn't rely on others, or spend what I didn't have. My reward? I get to subsidise idiot schemes like the FiT.

Indeed, and you have to be the prime example...

I'm personally a tad worried about where higher education is going:

In essence, it's looking attractive, both financially and from a point of travel/interest/being different to do a degree in the US.

With the cost of a BA/BSc running at 9k per year in England just for the fees alone, I think a lot of future undergrads are going to:

1) Become rather picky - at they should at those rates;

2) Seriously consider another country, with the US being an obvious candiate as it's English speaking.

Not just talking about trying to hit MIT, Berkley or Stanford - if you are destined for a middle of the road but decent enough uni here, or you could pick a lesser known, but decent one in somewhere sunny and cool in the US, then why not...

[harry]

You think education's free in the USA?

Of course it's not free, and it not free here either. That's the entire point. It's now getting so expensive here that people are seriously looking at whether to give their hard earned debt to a British University or a foreign one.

[Jules Richardson]

Typically a little more expensive than 9k/yr, I think, not including any accomodation fees.

cheers

[harry]

By the time they graduate, $9k will be pocket money anyway.

[Windmill]

I don't think politicians are in the least stupid. If you doubt that, check up, as far as that is possible for ordinary people, on the difference between their income and net worth *before* entering Parliament and the same figures afterwards.

Not at all impressed by He Who Shouts, though.

[Windmill]

And now He Who Shouts is carrying on the tradition.
