Lee Sinnott Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Prob get slated for this but i will be watching it on TV. I'm not a season ticket holder and enjoy the novelty. I'm with you on this one. Also, I'll be much warmer watching it at home and, if it's not a good game, I can flick over to Corrie. Happy days.

Killens_physio Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 March against the cuts And the moving of the game gives everyone the chance to take part in this. Why are people so intent on marching against cuts? Has it ever occured to people that the reason we as a country are in this situation now is because of the recklessness of the former government? How do these people believe that we will get ourselves out of the financial mess we are in without doing it? Gormless Brown said no more boom or bust.......well he was right its just bust. We couldnt go on living under Labour's reckless spending policy much longer, so sadly, thanks to them, everyone has to suffer with the cuts. Im sure Cameron and Osborne would be more than willing to listen to alternative ideas about how to plug the massive gaping hole in the economy. Yes the cuts are crap and yes we are all suffering but the leftist socialist regime that was the Liebour party knew their policies would only work until they run out of spending other peoples money. Cuts are now part of the Broken and Bust Britain we now live in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuts are now part of the Broken and Bust Britain we now live in! We only just paid off our debts from the second world war three years ago. The government should be paying them off slowly and surely. Not using them as an excuse to constantly implement policies for their own agendas. It may be a state but is putting people out of work the way forward.

The government should be paying them off slowly and surely. Not using them as an excuse to constantly implement policies for their own agendas. It may be a state but is putting people out of work the way forward. But surely to continue reckless spending is only prolonging the inevitable? Eventually the pot is going to run dry and then jobs are going to be lost anyway? It would have made more sense to have marched for a referendum on the EU that both Labour and Tories promised us? The amount of money we chuck into that Boys Club organisation year after year could have come in very handy to steer us clear of the mess we are in now. And the fact that we were still paying off our repatriations from the second world war up till a few years ago is even more reason to despair at Labour's reckless spending. You dont start spending out large sums of money on ideas (most of them doomed to fail) and throwing money at government QUANGOS etc, until you have your finances in order.

Indeed, so will probably watch the game against the Trannies in front of the box with a takeaway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuts are now part of the Broken and Bust Britain we now live in! This all sounds very naive to me. Our debt was not that great not long ago until the BANKS shafted us good and proper. In fact they still are and that tit the other week representing the banks had the gaul to say its time they stopped apologising for it. We do not need these high paid w.......rs despite the fact they contnually keep telling us we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truer state of the nations health is more accurately measured by debt to private sector including private finaince initiaitives, pensions etc. The rounded down UK GDP is £1,000 billion, or a trillion. We are approaching the stage where the liabilitiesd are equal that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are approaching the stage where the liabilitiesd are equal that. Thanks for the chart. Interesting that the sharp increase coincides with the collapse of the markets precipitated by our world banks. I am also aware that that trillion debt is aprox £40,000 per person in the UK and that just paying the interest per year on it is not a million miles away from what we spend on the national health service. I find it very scary to be honest. I do not believe that debt is the soul responsibility of the previous government. Im by no means a Gordon Brown lover but credit where its due. If he did not step in when he did after the collapse things would have been a lot worse both nationally and internationally as a lot of governments then followed his lead and we all avoided a total economic meltdown.
