harvey19 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Spot-on, It was the same with Cameron a while back when he told people to save their money, an hour later after his advisers had told him this would get us back into recession more quickly than we are now, he had to back-track and say the opposite. They haven't a clue! What annoys me is that those who took the advice of the past government and saved to provide for their old age will be penalised if they need to go into a care home. Better to have squandered every penny and lived in a council house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Wasn't it the unions who caused unrest by threatening to strike. The government were trying to help people keep mobile. No. The Government were playing games as usual. This time it backfired. As for striking, I'm pretty sure that the drivers would prefer not to. The Government would have been better employed encouraging both sides to sit down and sort out their differences. Sadly, they seem more interested in provoking industrial action wherever they can. Presumably to distract us all from their appalling lack of clarity, unity or purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joiner andy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 We, the majority of the country, voted for them and so should be loyal even if some of their decisions do not suit everyone. decisions not suiting? they are robbing us every way possible!

HeadingNorth Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Elected Government my arse! They've shown in the last week just how much knowledge they have, creating a petrol panic for no reason whatsoever, suggesting people keep 20 litre Jerry cans full of petrol in garages When did any member of the Government specify 20 liter cans?

Jim Hardie Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If UNITE call a strike, the union funds should be sequested, the union leaders interred, the drivers sacked and the armed services with volounteers should man the tankers. I, for one would volounteer. We beat Scargill and we will beat this lot, the traitors within. That's a bit harsh X. Even for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 When did any member of the Government specify 20 liter cans? Francis Maude did, when he specified Jerry Cans. By definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Don't take my word for it. I don't. I have two dictionaries on the shelf and three that I use regularly online. Not a single one of them defines a jerry-can by a specific size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
