Local Government Elections In England & Wales

[Dedworth]

Joe thinks Blackpool's fab Dedworth

I can never take him seriously again

Perhaps hitting him over the head with a stick of Blackpool rock might knock some sense into him

[KeithD]

We don't have a massive building project now? And the Tories have had 4 years.

By my reckoning that's another 9 years till they catch up with Labours last stint

[KeithD]

Well they are well on target, both are at ZERO

[joebloggs]

Dedworth, you keep going on about Brown's of giving away £4bn of gold. Tell me again where did the £50bn go that Thatcher got for selling off everything that was British and belonged to this country? Just tell me where the money went, if you don't know just say so

[andy222]

Royal Mail springs to mind. They made a right cock up of selling that off on the cheap. Losing taxpayers' money.

But Les and Dedworth don't mention that

An investigation by the National Audit Office revealed a small number of big investors had made a killing from privatising the postal giant.

That's where you are wrong. I do mention Tory cock ups - not blinded like you two are. It was sold off too cheaply.

Of course, you will have forgotten about the Gold that Brown gave away! Did he put it in envelopes and send it to 'Cash for Gold'?

Or Labour's deregulation of the banks whilst they lavished honours on villians like Fred Goodwin and their other city slicker chums

The Tories gave Jimmy Savile a knighthood.... a good pillar of society

Correct, but wicked as Saville was, he didn't push the country to the edge of the financial abyss as sleazy Blair's city pals did

[les_taxi]

You can't blame them for that. We only found out for sure when he died.

[les_taxi]

Anyway Keith, keep out of political stuff or Raynaputi will have you guts for garters. lol

[joebloggs]

LES or DEDWORTH WHERE DID THE £50bn GO ?? Come on, or I'll lock the thread

[les_taxi]

No idea - as I can't research it while at work.

[joebloggs]

I think some of it went on paying Unemployment Benefit to the 3million on the dole and tax cuts to the rich, but what happened to the rest ????

In todays terms, that's a massive £132bn! How many houses could they have built with that and how many jobs would it have created ??

[Arthur Little]

LES or DEDWORTH WHERE DID THE £50bn GO ?? Come on, or I'll lock the *thread

Aww, Joe ... don't do that, !


... responses to *it are, by far, the most I've ever seen on any thread of mine, up till now.

[les_taxi]

I can't profess to know the economics of where the money went.

What was spent on Falklands?

Might Google later.

[Dedworth]

I don't know Joe but bailing out and shoring up the banks 2008/9 cost £125 billion. No doubt Labour's CoOp bank (Ball's mate the deviant Rev Crystal Meth - remember him ?) will shortly need some help

[KeithD]

You can't blame them for that. We only found out for sure when he died.

Thatcher was well aware of the rumours, but ignored them. All politicians ignore things that they don't want to hear, this is why they make so many cockups, and spend so much time bringing out laws which are a total waste of space.

It would not really have been Thatchers job would it?

Did Labour sort it out then when they first came to power?

It's a fiery Forum tonight

[joebloggs]

Well Dedworth, I learn something everyday, and I thought the banking crisis was because of sub prime loans in the USA, I never knew Blair caused the worldwide banking crisis

Nope... and nor did the current government. As I said earlier, they are all useless s, and need a good up the

[les_taxi]

I will partly agree with that, I'm all forumed out after tussling with Joe

It's goodnight from him

I work when I want but usually dictated by Bookings. If I am on the taxi rank I sometimes comment on my phone. What's a union?

I would like you to get written warnings just for being on the Forum
