"David Cameron the autistic European" wrote in message ... In article , says... "David Cameron the autistic European'" wrote in message ... The facts are we have had a dozen years of prosperity... and a bit of a correction... it happens How are you measuring "prosperity"? I wasn't measuring it DVH. I was just observing it. 3/4 car families. Houses piled high with posessions. Designer clothes for the kids. Good healthcare. Couple of foreign holidays a year. These are measurements. You're measuring prosperity in things like foreign holidays and consumer goods. No objection to that. Your "index" could have increased in spite of any action by the Government. For example having lots of consumer goods is a function of trade with China, not the result of work by our dear leaders. ...and that's just people on the council estate I grew up on. When I compare that to how I grew up. Just look at what has been achieved. Amazing. Yes, it is in many ways. I'm dubious as to how much of it was achieved by government. According to wikipaedia, the UK is the sixth largest economy in the world. Blimey. Tiny island. *failed state* according to hummingbird. Keep it real. -- Dave |

I've lived a long time and it's boring the number of apocalypses I missed. shrug The good news is the future is rarely what you expect. Wow!! Anyway this has been a shrewd move by successive brit governments to flog off our oil before the greens go and devalue it. You see years ago we realised the do gooders were going to spoil our fun so we decided to make hay while the sun shone... Then we decided to take control of the situation, cos the greeens weren't working hard enough [socialists], and get our scientists to dream up 'the Big Con', the sting of all stings... Global Warming. By the time our oil runs out, the carbon quotas will have kicked in and then we can sell nuclear reprocessing to the rest of the world. See that's politics. We're already gearing up the geeks to declare smoking marajuna safe so we can flog it to the extra 10,000,000 souls you mentioned. That should raise the ambient temperature a couple of degrees and the taxes collected will make up for the oil revenue deficit. So we'll all be nice and warm and buying chinese goods for years to come. Have a spliff. Calm down. It's all in hand. Don't worry. -- Dave - I don't inhale |
