Alistair Darling's budget

[pauld]

Anyway Gaz you think you've got problems. Think how ben's going to feel when he gets home and finds out what they've done to his White Lightning (or whatever its called)

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

We should ban supermarkets from selling food so we all have to eat in restaurants.

Nah just make the price of a ready meal about £10.

[Boeta]

what does 'strong cider' actually mean? does that mean all cider, including eg. stowford press draught, or just flammable's favourite 10p for 2 litres of frosty jacks sort of stuff

[Nemo]

Time to stockpile Cider then.

Seriously, binge drinking my foot, if anyone can afford to get rat-arsed on Thatcher's 4.50 a bottle in pubs already Cider they have issues of thier own. Can't they just charge extra for Blackthorn and White Ace?

[Simon Pieman]

You'd have to drink 15 pints of cider before you effectively paid for another pint over without getting the benefit of that pint. Sounds like a challenge for Fred

What a pile of shite....another reason why i wont vote in the next election.
Its getting to the stage ware normal working class people are really struggling.
The car and fuel situation is getting silly.............no help what so ever for the man/woman who works hard just to earn a crust.

So you're saying "The currently elected party are making changes with which I disagree, therefore I refuse to vote in the next election".

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

Labour got into power with 48% of the vote.....the other 52% of people who voted including me obviously wasnt happy.
I refuse to vote for a party just because the other ones doing crap...its like two  pieces of shit put before you and being told to eat the one you like best...people in this country have the Lemming mentality and people who say if you dont vote dont moan are wrong...the reason being i pay my dues like everyone.
People died for freedom...and its my freedom of choice whether i vote or not,though i do try and vote locally.

[pride_of_wilts]

I don't bother voting, It's a complete waste of time! All of them are exactly the same so there's no point.

I wouldn't piss on any MP if they were on fire!

There's more than the 2 parties you imply, is there not one at all that reflects your views?

[leefer]

I used to love politics...i have fallen out of love with it now,i used to religiously watch question time and listen to the wednesday in parliament live on radio every week.....but you ask any labour voter who voted in the last election if they are happy with what they got...war in two countries wasnt on the agenda for a start...not just labour though..my views are total dislike thatour country being run by other countrys in the EU....the two main parties wont budge on that and the alternatives UKIP etc are not feasable.
Our farmers and fisherman cant do there buisness without some EU document telling them what to do.
I may decide to vote but deep down i know it will not  be because i see great hope for my kids and grandchildren in the future.

Fair enough, but why is UKIP not feasible?

[Crozzer]

It all started going to shit with Ted Heath railroading Britain into Europe with the premise that the other European Countries would help Britain's economy.  Believing that little green men landing their flying saucer in Walcot was more credible, I voted No to stay in Europe in the 1973 referendum.

Because in my view the few good policies(on paper) they have just cover up the nasty side of the party....there whole agenda seems to revolve around the EU,s activities and we all know you have to have more on the table than that..they will get alot of votes from the farmers etc but have no chance of getting a real foothold in parliament.
