All the time bro, all the time, thing is they are portrayed as the upstanding and straight, but the reality is they are all people with no grasp on anything economic when it comes to the scales of income vs outgoing's, the council tax tells you that.

I like the bit of this story where they cite a British homeless man complaining about the foreign homeless going around the streets robbing with knives......they took our boxes.

The headline states; "British homeless: Too dangerous to sleep rough with knife-wielding migrants".......like we should be upset about our homeless being picked on by foreigners......the thought occurs, this is one of the richest countries in the world, and we have people sleeping on our streets......this isnt the rumanians fault ffs.

Exactly CC. Another story to deflect us all from what really matters.

Like everytime the government gets itself into a fankle because it's embarrassed by its incompetence, or its failure to rein in those capitalist greedos who're ripping us off bigtime like the bankers and their bonuses, what do we get?

Another headline about benefits cheats.

Who really cares about benefit cheats? While they should be dealt with, they pale into insignificance when compared to the big money boys ripping us off.

You know the answer.....its their system not yours.

Scots history is littered with similar instances going back hundreds of years.

The banks can, and do, create money... And they who control the credit of a nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people.

Reginald McKenna, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, 1924

Banks don't create money.

Government does. And our government has created £375 Billion of it. And if they turn the printing presses on again, they can create however much they want.

In 1930s Germany folks were using wheelbarrows to carry enough cash to pay for a loaf of bread.

We may have buried our heads in the sand living the illusion, but this coalition government is gonna go down as our nation's biggest political mistake ever.
