Free loaders that have made a positive contribution to the economy???

 

Tell you who the real free loaders are? Facebook, Google, Amazon, Starbucks! They're the real foreigners coming to our country and stealing from us.

 

On another note. Can't wait to see UKIP's leader torn to spreads by an ex drug addict comedian on tomorrow's question time!

can you explain how freeloaders contribute positively to the uks economy??

Can I ask you 'what' global crisis aftermath, parlous national finances and asset-stripping commitments did Blair inherit in 1997, 2001 and 2005?

 

The ones from the previous government.

I hear disgraced MP Neil Hamilton is likely to win the UKIP nomination for Basildon, following the suspension of Bird from the party.

 

Genius.

It needs people to build it. They need training and paying.

 

It needs materials to build it with. They need supplying.

 

The supplied materials need to be made into their required form. That needs people. Those people need training and paying.

 

Yes, it will cost £bn, but a very large amount of that will end up in the hands of British workers.

 

 

UKIP are only against the plan because of a few rich land owners in the home counties who're bothered that their multi-million-pound mansions might be worth a few quid less if the riff raff can be seen going past from the top floor.

 

Makes you an ideal candidate for a nigerian scammer.

Heavily loaded audience in favour of Russell Brand no doubt.

[Frederick1 10]

You mean the press doing their job and scrutinising a politician?

 

If you don't like that, you are living in the wrong country.

 

Don't mind at all sibon. It just appears they only have UKIP in their sights and leave the two main culprits alone!!!

 

:)

 

PS - I am living in the "right" country - well, it used to be!!!

That'd make a change from the normal heavy pro-UKIP bias the media show.

Do you really believe this, or are you having us on?

The what they inherited has been done to death by each incoming government blaming the last, then getting further in the mire while filling their pockets, wonder which one will be pulling up the floorboards to sell off next.

Ah, so that would be the balanced budget and booming economy of 1997 Britain attributable to the exiting Tory Government of Mr Major:

In 1997 Labour inherited a budget that was actually in balance. After a painful and turbulent decade under the Tories, the public finances had finally been brought under control. But after four years in office Gordon Brown took out the country's credit card and let rip. By the end of 2009-10 our annual deficit had ballooned to £170.8 billion.

Major's comfortable re-election as Conservative Leader failed to restore his authority. Despite efforts to improve the popularity of the Conservative Party, Labour remained far ahead in the opinion polls as the election loomed, despite the economic boom that had followed the exit from recession four years earlier, and the swift fall in unemployment.

So...er...which previous government now, retep?

 

EDIT: Note also that this was all before my time in this country 'proper', so it's a bit rich that I, a miscreant economic migrant only over here to steal your jobs/benefits/wimmin, should have to educate you about the record of your country's successive governments for the last 20 years

To be fair, Nige appears to know nothing about the political history of the UK, or what running a country actually involves, so it's hardly fair to expect his disciples to have any idea either.

Fortunately I lived through the years mentioned, the conservatives sold off and destroyed most of the country and what was left was squandered by labour.

You were born in the wrong century, my poor retep, as I gather from the above that Edwardian or Victorian Britain would have suited you best

 

I suggest that you end the agony at the earliest possible opportunity, by moving to Australia (as a leftfield option, I hear China are doing a roaring trade in imperialism these days), to save yourself the hardship of experiencing further disappointment under the prospective tenure of UKIP
