Two pieces of bad news!

One, This government is to sell of 40% of the Euro star...
What will this mean? probably over inflated prices, cheap workers who will
probably not be uk workers...no offence intended..

Then the work till your 70 crap...so there will be no retirement, because
people will work till they die!

I hate this government....:devil:

 

Well most people live to work why not die for it too?

 

Im sorry morrow .I feel ya though my works been making me work for three ppl for over a month I dislike how most business and government is ran. Now our gov is making every corporate company switch to biweekly pay so they can take more taxes and stuff.I think we the people should have a world wide protest. Tell em all to sod off. ＼(`O´θ／

 

governments dont work

 

Thats true,, Conservatives never have...they privatise everything, take a rent! so its money for nothing..they dont work for the people..they work for the rich! yeah each other..

 

Capitalism has run it's course, and it's not helping anyone except those at the top.
Everyone else is struggling and there's no sign of it getting better.

Somethings got to change

 

I'm just saying... if I didn't work for the "rich" I wouldn't have my house, my car, food, money to live, and pay my bills. My boss is a millionaire and I'm thankful each day for his hard work and dedication which keeps me employed. He's a tough a**hole but he works so hard and cares about each one of us on his team.

Yes I do work that 5 people once use to do... I am still grateful that I have my job otherwise I'd be in trouble.

 

Sure has...there doesnt seem to be any one not effected by this government...
They are not picking on each other though..
today an mp it was revealed lives 15 mins away from the house of commons but was claiming hotel fee's! thats theft, it was lies..he pays it back...but a person taking half the amount, gets jail!! or fined...its just going to far now...

 

Sorry I can't help thinking Stockholm syndrome

 

See when stuff like this is said I don't understand it. My family came out of a country that was communist. So I've heard all the horror stories of socialism and communism.

My family to this day are traumatized from what they have to live through. I would never want that for anyone who I love and care about.

When I hear there stories my heart cries for them. I would never want to live somewhere that I cannot be my own person. Where I cannot live my life free and without the government all in my business. Where one doesn't have a choice. I don't want that for my children.

Government doesn't work when they're running everything. Look at our postal service, CPS, IRS, NSA, and everything else. We have to get back to the land back to compassion for fellow humans. We have to focus on caring for those in our communities ourselves and get the government out of our lives. It saddens me to see what this country and come to.

 

I wasn't suggesting the regimes your family were subject to are the alternative to capitalism and I'm certainly not suggesting that government should run everything. You believe all the anti-government rhetoric you've been told and nothing anyone says is likely to change that.

I'm not even going to suggest any solution because I'm not interested in the dog-pile that will follow.

Good luck Sadie

 

Sorry if I came off that way. I don't mean no government period. I mean minimal. We seem to look to the government for all the answers and I just believe government isn't the answer to everything.

 

It's cool, I understand

We vote for our representatives because we believe they are going to do the job in favor of the voters, so in that way we are the government. If we don't like what they do or how they represent the people then we should vote them out. We are the ones in control in the end.

People need to stop being so complacent and get involved. There is a huge contingent of pro-industry anti-regulation propaganda, presently ubiquitous in broadcast media, pounding anti-gov rhetoric. They prey on common folk mentality when really they are about protecting corporate interests, not the peoples freedom.
They love highly inflammatory storys like The governments coming after your garden to get people all whipped up, then use the hyperbole to broadly condemn all government as an assault on freedom.

The oil and gas industry are probably the leaders in the anti-reg crusade, closely followed by the major banking and financial institutions.

 

68: That's when your pension kicks in, not how long you have to work till.
I'm hoping to live longer than 68.

 

I hope you do too

 

I love this...

There is a song of England that only heaven can hear So sweet it is and fleet it is, That none who's words are not as fleet as birds upon the wing And regal as her mountains And radiant as the fountains-of rainbow coloured sea spray, That every wave can fling Against the cliffs of England, The sturdy cliffs of England, Could more than seem to dream of it, Or catch the flying gleam of it, Above the seas of England that never cease to sing.

There is a a song of England that only lovers know, So rare it is and fair it is, O like a fairy rose it is upon a drift of snow, So cold and sweet and sunny, So full of hidden honey, So like a flight of butterflies where rose and lily blow, Along the lanes of England, The leafy lanes of England; When flowers are at their vespers And full of little whispers, The boys and girls of England shall sing it as they go.

There is a song of England that only love may sing, So sure it is and pure it is And seaward with the sea-mew it spreads a whiter wing, And with the skylark hovers Above the tryst of lovers, Above the kiss and whisper that led the lovely spring, Through all the glades of England, The ferny glades of England, Until the way enwound her With sprays of May and crowned her, With stars of frosty blossom on a merry morris-ring.

There is a song of England that haunts her hours of rest: The calm of it the balm of it Are breathed from every hedgerow that blushes to the west From the cottage doors that nightly cast their welcome out so brightly On the lanes where laughing children are lifted and caressed, By the tenderest hands in England, Hard and blistered hands of England And from the restful sighing Of the sleepers that are lying With the arms of God around them on the nights contented breast.

There is a song of England that wanders on the wind, So sad it is and glad it is, That men who hear it madden and their eyes are wet and blind For the lowlands and the highlands of the unforgotten Islands, For the Islands of the blessed and the rest they cannot find As they grope in dreams to England And the love they left in England, Little feet that danced to meet them And the lips that used to greet them And the watcher in the window in the home they left behind.

There is a song of England that thrills the beating blood, with burning cries and yearning Tides of hidden aspiration hardly known or understood Aspirations of the creature Towards the unity of nature Sudden chivalries revealing whence the longing is renewed, In the men that live for England, Live and love and die for England By the light of their desire, They shall blindly blunder higher To a wider grand kingdom and a deeper, nobler Good.

 

Actually there are more planed increases, so that for anyone currently in their mid-30s it will be 69, and for someone currently in their 20s it probably will be 70.

 

yes the government are a set of smug bastards, do as i say and not as i do is their motto

 

So what are we going to do about it?

 

I know. Mid 30's? my age for state pension is 67. Somebody born in 1980 (33) is 68.
70 isn't supposed to kick in for another 50 years, I think.
You said: 'It will probably be'... so it's not for certain, you are not certain.
That's why I challenged the idea of: 'Then the work till your 70 crap...so there will be no retirement, because people will work till they die!'
Lets concern ourselves with 2-3 years 'extra' before we concern ourselves with an extra 5 years.
Most of us will be dead before that kicks in.
