Little things please, as the saying goes.

Yes, I must admit I've always enjoyed Wallace & Gromit. Now it will never seem the same again.

[determindator]

Well ignore politics and just watch Wallace & Gromit. Problem solved:-D

"Wallace's image risks being "damaged" by endless comparisons to the Labour leader."

 

Now that says it all. when a plasticine cartoon characters image is being damaged by a leading politician it's time to take a reality check.

[determindator]

Yep, by all the silly people who make these comparisons.

Nah. Trouble is, every time I watch PMQs I'll be expecting Miliband to say "Everybody knows the moon's made of Cheese Gromit". Well let's face it, Miliband is a bit of a joke.

As we're facing facts, Wallace has more integrity than the entire cabinet and shadow cabinet combined!

It is said we are in time of austerity but George Osborne is understood to have made a speech last night seen as a coded warning to Nick Clegg and Vince Cable to rein in some of their rhetoric on high pay. Today I hear someone won 45 mil on the Lottery in Hertfordshire. When you think of the colossal amounts won by individuals on the lottery in this country alone, you could share that to more people by making more smaller wins and spreading the love:-D

[Phil2287]

Yes, you could determinadtor - however, capitalism and love don't really go hand in hand

[determindator]

OOO I see the boss of RBS was thinking of resigning during the furore but he didn't. I would say to George Osborne 'You see they don't leave in droves as you infer as where are the vacancies in this economic climate?'

 

I thought Mr Cameron mentioned good capitalism which I believe means we embrace individuals/companies who create wealth for others as well as themselves, not just me me me and s*d the consequences.

[Phil2287]

A good idea, in principle I suppose. Ever likely to materialise in practice? Probably as likely as Mrs Thatcher wading back into Parliament on the back of the success of her 'biographical portait' in the Iron Lady haha.

 

I think it's been 'look after number one' in this country for a long time now. Indeed, in most of the western world. Wasn't it dear old Maggie who said 'there's no such thing as society...'?

 

I'm not in favour of everyone cutting all ties to wealth and materialism and moving into spiritual communes. However, a little more sense of community both on a smaller, and larger scale would be nice - in fact, I'd even say heart warming...

Which is opposed to what exactly from the Wallace & Gromit man?

 

Er, cut, but do it a bit more slowly and not quite as much.

Er, well that's it really.

Oh no, there's good capitalism too.

Didn't somebody mention that already?

[determindator]

I've already said it's silly to compare people to cartoon characters, that's being polite:madgrin: BTW I replied with my own views on capitalism. No idea what Mr C really thinks.

 

and you see Fred that's why a coalition government was voted in by the people so the debate goes on as to the balance of how best to serve the nation. I believe also IMO even Mr C's cabinet have conceded cuts should be slower and less, not their original stance.

 

Anyway Fred you need to be more clear as to what you are trying to say.

D'you know Phil I never forget that quote, I really must look into the phyche of the meaning.

Quite agree
