Grandad.Malky Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hold on I thought we were skint ………. Labour even left a note to that effect ………… someone is pulling our plonkers. Edit The title should be Cameron wants to boost IMF, presumably Clegg does too or perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoatwobbler Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 You might like a wee link for this story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15567919 Prime Minister David Cameron has told the BBC it is "right" to consider boosting funds to the International Monetary Fund at a time of crisis. Mr Cameron, in Cannes for a meeting of the G20 countries, said there was "no risk" to British taxpayers. The BBC's Nick Robinson says it could mean eurozone nations like Greece are indirectly helped by British taxpayers. The government says it is ready to give more money to the IMF - but not if it is reserved for eurozone nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country is skint……… the coffers are empty ………….

taxman Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Very good but where is the money coming from ,…………… the whole thing is turning into a farce. The country is skint……… the coffers are empty …………. I and others haven’t had a pay rise for two years ( we are all in this together :roll: ) and yet the government can keep pulling money out of the hat. That's because the country isn't skint, the government just has different priorities about where the money should be spent. They like to peddle the lie about being skint so people will be happy with VAT rises, rising unemployment, high inflation and wage freezes.
