5 x macassar customised cues

you might not have to put up with English politicians for long if you tick the right box - some others did it a much harder way

What I meant was they were two of the best politicians never to be PM. Scottish independence would be a total disaster for the full UK.

what no mention of ronnie?

I don't think he'd serve as many terms as Hendry but he'd take prime ministerness to the next level and make it look easier in the process.

The people who own and run companies deserve more than those who work, it's as simple as that. I have already stated my belief that limited company structure requires to be changed. I believe this would reduce profits to a reasonable level but if you can't make, relatively, a lot of money, why run a business?

The problem now is the ever increasing gap between the rich and the poor which has been getting wider ever since 1979 when Reagan and Thatcher removed the financial restraints on the banks and started globalisation, ie: no import controls over cheap foreign goods. It was the financial institutions who then made the majority of both countries wealth while a lot of american and british industry moved to asia. British and american wages were also squeezed right down to subsistance levels in many cases forcing an huge increase in borrowing which also benefitted the banks.
This was not sustainable as the US banks went tits up after giving mortgages to people in america who were on welfare and many european banks went the same way after buying up a lot of these mortgages themselves in package form from US banks. These were believed to be intelligent people running these banks, earning millions in wages and bonuses yet they handed out mortgages to people on welfare FFS and were surprised when the poor lost their jobs and couldn't pay up despite bankrolling US and UK firms who wanted to outsource to asia.

This wasn't the way it was in the 1960's as the super rich were taxed to the tune of 19 shillings in the pound in britain yet Richard Burton could still afford to buy Elizabeth Taylor the worlds biggest diamond ring, yet he was nothing compared to the industrialists and bankers of the day.

The poor in this country have never been better off. Ever. Fact.

I agree that irresponsible lending for profit had massive repercussions and every single member of bank staff who benefitted from profit share should have been forced to repay it, not just the top guys should have been villified.

it is also worth remembering for those who like to blame all the problems of the world on Maggie that the world was not a perfect utopia in the 60's and 70's !! In every single measurable way people are better off now than they have ever been.

23% of the population in the UK are classed as being in poverty, that's 13.5 million people, 31% of children are classed as being in poverty that's 4 million kids, and 18% of pensioners 2 million are classed the same. Of the thirteen and a half million classed as in poverty just over half are working, figures from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation,
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...t-1329614.html, I don't know if the Independent is a left leaning paper or as it's title suggests ,In fact independent, but this report by the UN does not paint a pretty picture.

What they've done there, is fail to correctly define poverty. Read "The Road to Wigan Pier" or research the slums near Glasgow Cathedral which were the most densely populated area of Europe.
