Not just you.....Im Extremely fed up of this Very Greedy Government and its Never ending stealth taxes, Im also fed up of The EU and its Interference in Everything we do, Im also fed up with The Green Brigade and their single theme obsession that the Car is the cause of all the worlds problems even though theres no hard and fast proof that it is, Im also Fed up with "health n Safety" numpties Making the world a safer place by stating the bleeding obvious and making compulsory the ridiculous.

the world can look after itself without all the above Idiots, if a few starve or a few die or a few endure hardship its only because mother Nature is the Boss..nothing that me, you or anyone else is going to do to change that...sooooooooo!!..lets make the best of it without needlessly shackling ourselves to the loony crewe that think they know best..

Who knows...things might even improve :D

Imagine getting a criminal record for not closing your bin lid... and stealth taxes 8 per cent on your motor insurance.... you'd think they want people to be insured not making it more costly .
and the best one yet British utilities.... the Water provider ... two years ago I paid £900 just for the privilege of letting the rainwater fall onto my premises and then to clear a way through a drain,. last year and this year they have increased it to £2,300 a year.... I have asked them why they are billing me... I have told them it is not my water.... its God's.. so they should be billing the Church.... I now have a new contract person who is based in some faraway country....... and his name is Mr Angel.....

I don't think there will be a 'this government' in 2 years.

I'm quite confident, like they're London Mayoral candidate, it'll be over for the Labour party in 2009 / 10.

I often watch and compare their Ministers with men who would be more suited to running a working mens club in Bradford opposed to a country.

Haven't got a fecking clue springs to mind. =;

Look, this country is on the verge of pulling itself apart.

Anyone who chooses to inform themselves knows that the system is flawed and corrupt.

Democracy is a myth.

Your government represents the will of corporate multinational companies, and to them you are not a person but a consumer, they own your as*

Oh and btw, before you claim you can vote them out, think again? The system has no mechanism to deliver democracy. You get a vote alright but that’s it, then all you get is more of the same - responsible to the will of the people, you must be having a laugh.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would not claim you could vote them out, and I think the voting procedure in this country is a fix. we are basically given the choice of the best of a bad bunch.

Thats bollox. Any person over 21 with enough support, I don't know the exact number of people, can stand for parliament and that includes you. If you are not satisfied with the selection of candidates available, put your own candidate up.

On the whole people vote for parties and not individuals. How many of the current crop of MP's would be where they are now if they had stood as independents?

None

Take away the party tag and they are nothing.
