Comments like this are exectly why this country is going down the tubes.
I'll let you in on what I think for a minute - the reason we're all done for is that we hate ourselves. Not just dislike or are uneasy with, we absolutely hate and loathe everything about ourselves.
We've got a brilliant health service. I can break my leg tonight, go to a hospital and expect to receive an x-ray, a proper diagnosis, drugs to relieve the pain and a plastercast to help repair it. Try explaining that to someone in Russia, much less Rwanda.
Our education system, while far from perfect, is pretty good. Teachers work bloody hard to get kids through exams. Read the Daily Mail and you 'know' that kids are lynching their teachers day in day out as well as there being some huge conspiracy to make everyone stupid by making exams easier. Actually speak to a real teenager and the large majority know that they need to work hard or they will not get a job and will never get a chance to better themselves. Talk to many young people in the workplace and they despair at some of their older colleagues who are inflexible, arrogant and grossly overpaid comapred to what they actually contribute.
Which brings me to my next point. At what point did we begin to hate kids so much? Far from actually trying to work out what they are about and why a lot of them are so pissed off and angry we just call then chavs and laugh heartily at pictures of them. Wtih that sort of discrimination in our blood we might as well go back to calling black people niggers. This might sound a bit obvious but if we make kids feel like shit then they act up. Some to a larger degree than others. I'm certainly not saying hug a hoodie but yelling at them on trains for talking to their friends on trains isn't goign to help either.
These are just three points but there are many more. The England team loses to another good team so they have to be a national disgrace and one of the worst teams in the world. Our seaside resorts look a bit run down but let's not invest in them, let's all slag them off and mock people who go there. The English flag has been captured by racists and political apathy is now at such a level that it really doesn't matter who is in power becuase we (and by that I generally mean the white working class) are too bloody lazy and complacent to do anything about it. No wonder the Poles come over here and see us as a soft touch. Our media is in such a bad state that the real story is irrelevant and the soundbite rules - perfect for the Big Brother generation.
Until we actually start to like ourselves again and regain a bit of national pride then I honestly think we're just going to continue on this cycle.

About the only thing you can say about Cameron is that he seems to be lasting longer than his less than illustrious predecessors.

Another comedy line in the budget...
The Government provisionally estimates that losses may lie within a potential range from
£20 billion to £50 billion (1½ to 3½ per cent of GDP). The actual figure could be either larger
or smaller than this range.
So, the government are so unsure as to what is going on in the financial markets, and the knock on effects, that they go for a massive range. They are then SO unsure that even a £30bn range isn't enough, and they stuff in a proviso that, in fact, even this may be completely wrong.
Top work.

I just watched Cameroon's budget response and it was very good.
I am not a tory voter, but it is difficult to argue with what he says. The only country that has borrowed a larger percentage of its' GDP is Ireland.
These are worrying times.

You are right, Gordon Brown did not cause the world recession, nobody can argue that he did. He did however set the economic policies for the U.K. and it is largely because of them that we have as bad a situation as we do.
Who sold the gold reserves under value? Was it the world?
Who stole the pension pots? Was it the world?
Who thought CPI would be a good measure of inflation? Was it the world?
Who abolished boom and bust? I'll give you that one, it was Gordon... oh...
People have been going on about how bad the credit culture in this country is, trouble is that the government have been more guilty of it than any of those idiots you see on BBC Three.
Out of interest what has Cameron proposed to do instead? I've only caught the news fleetingly today as I'm a little busy. I've managed to catch Cameron blathering on about how Brown's budget is the biggest this, largest that, worst this etc BUT I have not heard him say 'the Conservative party would do.......'
This is a genuine question as I have only caught the news fleetingly today.

Exams are easier IMO, I've seen plenty of examples of GCSE science papers which indicate this anyway, and anyone who disagrees with me can suck my c0ck.
That is the worrying thing. As I said, it is hard to argue with Cameroon's criticism of the labour government, but the tories have not really come up with a solution of their own.
Maybe they are worried that Brown and his Darling will steal their ideas. Or maybe they don't have any ideas.
I have no clue where my vote is going at the next election. With the gangfuck labour seem to have got themselves into the Tories should be miles ahead in the poles, but the current 10 point gap points to the possibility of a hung parliament.
oh deary me.

I agree. Political parties don't run the economy. Financial corporations and big businesses do. That's the joy of capitalism.
The politicians are tinkering about trying to deal with the fallout, because they know that people won't vent their fury on the financial institutions or the multi-national corporations, but on their party in the next election.
Every country is suffering, whether they have Right or Left parties in power. We could have had Conservative or Labour in charge, we'd still be in the shit.
but just perhaps not £600,000,000,000 worth of shit over the next 4 years? (and that assumes the highly unlikely govt growth target of 3.5% in 2011/2 and 3 is actually acheived!).

Oh no, why so much borrowing
?? My dad told me it would be 80% of the GDP i didn't listen to him, i said Gordon wouldn't do that, he isn't that stupid. We are f***ed now. Britain is finished. That's it for us everyone. The socialists have won we're doomed.
