THE Election - Made your mind up yet ??

[Rooster-UK]

And they has the bestest chocolate

 

They certainly do!

 

I used to love Swiss Chocolate.

Was watching the riots in Greece on TV today-The people are angry at the ultimatums.

One woman said-"We are being asked to take a 30% cut in our wages-yet our country is spending millions on 2 new Warships from France"...why do we need Warships when we cant afford to live ?

 

She makes a good point.

 

France of course is the biggest exporter of weapons so will obv want to see Greece survive so they get their money.

 

Germany meanwhile says that Greece should comply with the IMF package or leave the EU-but its not so simple.

 

When the EU's membership was only 8 or 9 then things were a little different-and hop long did it take Italy to get membership ?

The Mafia had to abandon their guns and come to the table-much the same as happened with Adams and McGuinness.

 

We have UKIP and the BNP saying that we are better out of Europe-yet we still have our Pound and in spite of that suffer the same as the rest.

 

We would do better out of Europe if we still had a good manufacturing base and did not rely on China-but no one can complain that a set of knife and forks from China cost a fiver less than those made in Sheffield.

 

Our Government paid Nissan millions in grants to build a factory in the North East-they allowed the Indians to get Jaguar Landrover for a song,our British Mini to go to BMW and Rolls and Bentley to go to VW and BMW.

Our heritage.

Our manufacturing base has gone-ok replaced by IT but we dont even have a look in there-LG was given millions in grants from the GOV to open a factory in Wales !

 

We have trained Doctors and nurses to people from abroad at a cost of millions-only to see them leave the UK for better wages later.

 

Whichever party or leader gets in-is unlikely to change much-we are stuck with Europe and if we do pull out then we would prob be worse off in the long run.

 

Chinas economy grows by the minute-and props up the US debt mountain of trillions-Russia s cosying up to China and supplying them with millions of tons of wood from its forrests,steel,and Oil.

 

Anyone who thinks the recent talks of cutting back on nukes has been a success between Putin and Obama will prob be unaware that Putin has increased defence spending by 800%-builds new subs,re-introduces flights over Europe with the menacing blackjacks,and orders new ships from France-so to hear Clegg talk about scrapping our deterrent which has kept the Russians off limits since the 70s will no doubt be a blessing to Vladimir.

 

Many Eastern Europeans will be praying for a hung result-knowing that the Dollar will prob rise against the £

 

The Poles here in particular since the dollar is still favoured against their currency as it is in Russia and Ukraine.

 

In fact the only problem will come with their flights....if the ash cloud stops Ryan Air or Easyjet cheap flights to Krakow or Warsaw-then they will have to spend a few more nights watching Jeremy Paxman grilling the winner.

 

On that subject, I got this in an email today:

 

Ron Smith started the day early having set his

alarm clock

 

(MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am.

While his coffeepot

 

(MADE IN CHINA )

 

was perking, he shaved with his

 

electric razor

 

(MADE IN HONG KONG ).

 

He put on a

 

dress shirt

 

(MADE IN SRI LANKA ),

 

designer jeans

 

(MADE IN SINGAPORE )

 

and

 

tennis shoes

 

(MADE IN KOREA )

 

After cooking his breakfast in his new

 

electric skillet

 

(MADE IN INDIA )

 

he sat down with his

 

calculator

 

(MADE IN MEXICO )

 

to see how much he could spend today. After setting his

 

watch

 

(MADE IN TAIWAN )

 

to the radio

 

(MADE IN INDIA )

 

he got in his car

 

(MADE IN GERMANY )

 

filled it with PETROL

 

(from Saudi Arabia )

 

and continued his search

 

for a good paying BRITISH JOB.

 

At the end

 

of yet another discouraging

 

and fruitless day

 

checking his

 

Computer

 

(Made In Malaysia ),

 

Ron decided to relax for a while.

 

He put on his sandals

 

(MADE IN BRAZIL )

 

poured himself a glass of

 

wine

 

(MADE IN FRANCE )

 

and turned on his

 

TV

 

(MADE IN INDONESIA ),

 

and then wondered

 

why he can't find

 

a good paying job

 

in BRITAIN .....

[Fred Bassett]

It's a shame we can't become part of Switzerland, keep the world's money and stay out of everything!

 

Don't say that to Bookie whatever you do.

I thought MTM was Brazillian not Swiss!

[Rooster-UK]

I never liked Milk Tray.

Too late!

 

*clears throat*

 

Rooster, Switzerland is in fact one of the most heavily armed nations on a ratio basis. Every man is supplied with a rifle which they are expected to keep in working order at all times, and they have 1 week of compulsory military service every year to keep their hand in.

 

Termi, the problem is not so much the "world's" money... It's the dirty money, Mafia, Nazis and other unsavouries. That's why they put it in Switzerland, because money speaks louder than morality, no questions asked, ever. the Swiss of course know all the dirty little secrets which is why they are safe in their little mountain empire, because no-one wants their skeletons to come out of the vault and so everyone respects their neutrality.

No I wouldn't dare but nice views though

 

[Spamalot]

:eek:

 

Perhaps you have lost your tastebuds from scratching about amongst all the worms ..

 

I'm sure if you asked nicely enough, the Milk Tray Man would make a sugar coated special delivery..

 

[Bookworm]

It's actually a lot more beautiful than that, it really is extraordinarily gorgeous.

Heeeeyyyy!!!!

That's just nasty, you do know Rooster is diabetic, right? Are you trying to kill him???

Yes, what a world we live in.

Perhaps he should change his diet to sugar free worms?

[Bookworm]

Ewwww. *barf*

[angry cat]

Still undecided?

 

One thing is for sure though, I will not be voting for Gordon Brown!

Because Fred-We cant (or wont pay) the wages for the guys/gals who are making things in Britain.

 

Theres a is price to pay for democracy and standards of living.

Our standards of living are going down -but in India and China even call centre workers are now demanding more money.

 

Have a look on ebay and see stuff going for buy it now from China for 1p

Course.....delivery is a tenner.

What I cant work out is how they can send something all the way from China for a tenner when it costs the same for a taxi here for a couple of miles....and even more for 40 cigarettes or a couple of pints.

Get my jist ?

[angry cat]

Didn't G Brown sell the UK's gold to china?

 

But now the price of gold is at a premium?

[Conniff]

Some of you might have noticed that I have had an election poll running in my signature for the past few months. Now that polling day is here, I have taken it down with the following results:

 

• Lab 18.35%
  
• Con 45.95%
  
• Lib 8.43%
  
• Other 27.27%
  

Lets see how it turns out with the real results.

[Night Owl]

Just voted.......for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Peoples Front Of Judea

 

I like their manifesto........sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health.......simples!

[Bookworm]

Yeah, because what have the Romans ever done for us, hey?

 

... Not too keen on their suicide policy though.

[Mr lex]

Oh Dear,

 

I'm BNP by just a fraction to labour and then UKIP in third.

 

Good job I can't vote isn't it:p

 

So you have a left wing and a right wing and a strong homing instinct.

 

How about a name change to' Pig'eon'

[Mr lex]

The Peoples Front Of Judea

 

Load of pansies !!

 

I much prefer The Judean Peoples Front

[Night Owl]

They were the crack suicide squad!!!

[MARTIN3030]

I have voted for change.....simply because I never seem to get much of it now out of a tenner:rolleyes:

Talking of the Thatcher era, one of my favourite quotes came from (I think) Paddy Ashdown who said you could "buy 3 cemeteries and still get change from a fiver".

[babybear39]

I just voted Plaid Cymru.

 

Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish should get two votes each, if they want to want to vote for their national party.
