Browns Government

soon itll be gordon brown and george bush in this kind of scenario  :arsekisser:   :shag: , just like tony

Bush will be gone by the end of the year, it'll be Hillary that he'll be jumping into bed with

No he won't. The US Presidential Election doesn't take place until Nov 08, and the President doesn't take office until the following January. Still a good 18 months of Dubya left.

That said, the electoral campaign started 6 months ago. You think its bad in the UK, its a fucking joke here.

I'm not arsed. As long as the tories aren't in power.

Ah right, i'd seen all the pre-election stuff kicking off recently, assumed/hoped that it'd be over quickly!

Still, i stand by my original point, i think Gordy will be distancing himself as much as possible from dubs

Brown is just a spinner, just like Tony. He continually broke his financial rules, but kept on changing the period he measured them on, meaning he didn't.

Remember 10 years ago, we had the best pension funds in the world. What does Gordon do? Put tax on our pension funds, final salary pension goes down the dumper (except civil service ones...and MP's !!), while you and me have to put more and more money into money purchase pensions, which are not as good.

Also, as being a Scottish MP, he can vote on legislation that affects England, but not his own consituency in Scotland.

Dead right, their are too many similarities between this Government & the Board at STFC

Actually Alan, they've tried wiping out CS final salary pensions as well. Its just we're a militant bunch of cunts when backs into a corner and subsequently claimed 'reserved rights'. All new entrants from about 2005 onwards though have new 'contracts' regarding final salary pensions. The Tories would have done the same though, if truth be told.

Public services are bound to be stretched as the demographic has changed so much.

Unless any government drastically rethinks how to deal with it, none will be that successful.

We need to get rid of the OAP burden. Everyone deserves a few years of retirement after working and paying taxes for most their lives. Living to like 90-something is a bit fucking stupid though. Some sort of logan's run situation but where you're age of super-retirement (that's a good name I think) should depend on your contribution to society decided by someone impartial like me.

We can replace all those old people with young Eastern European Immigrants. Most of them will want to return home to retire which isn't a problem for us. They can support the rest of us on the doll.

Happy days.

That's my radical solution anyway.

Is that a blow up doll Ben?
