DRIVE BRICK Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 thats the tories for you rich. the country is on its knees, funding war, immigrants, and bad decision making in westminster. but we are to blame. we had the vote, and blew it putting those two "eton" chunnel busters in charge. I can only look forward to.......well, nothing really. no wage rise, rising fuel bills, food bills etc. yep, we are definately in a bad place at the mo. Im surprised that england is still open for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all home owners, not wasters, but still find day to day living tough. It seems to me that if you have affluent friend down south, it must be grimmer here up north, for a lot of people anyway:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the North / South divide. Also known as the wealth gap. This country is totally 'Londoncentric.' The rest of the country might as well not exist. The rich only talk to the rich and have absolutely no idea about how the other half lives, (or should I say 'survive') I include our government with its millionaires in that. Not a clue...

Im surprised that england is still open for business. I agree with most of what you are saying BUT... who was responsible for it in the first place. Although I don’t support the Tories but don't you think that Tony Blair and his party was responsible for almost all the misery we are facing these days...

You've been listening to the Tories 'Labour left us in this mess...' rhetoric. They think If they repeat it often enough you'll believe it.The whole of Europe is in a similar state without labour's help. The banks left us in this mess, and it's going to get a whole lot worse. The jury is still out on the best way to tackle it, - Cut and try to reduce spending and borrowing, or spend and get the economy moving and growing. Either way, the banks get off scott free...
