And of course, you can confirm & quantify this assertion can you?

Deary me C'mon, your stated declaration was "There will be no pensions" & "And everybody else will rely on food banks". I asked for you to verify this sweeping allegation, your reply, the above quote.
To my mind your response certainly doesn't cut it ........ again!
If you're going to demonize/slate//denigrate or deride an issue/person /policy at least have the decency to supply relevant facts & proof to substantiate your prattle (and not, I hasten to add, some leftist pap taken from some kind of raging red blog/opinion piece), then maybe, just maybe, your ramblings could carry some veracity.

So make sure you and your friends(?), vote for independence for Scotland, then you won't have to worry about what Osborne does.

Did you run spurious polls on here when Labour were in power? Did you constantly cut and paste stories about their cock-ups (and there were many), accompanied by your semi-literate, semi-comprehensible jabber? Did you heck as like, because you're a party stooge, pure and simple, using this forum for your own ends. Face it, C'mon, your credibility's totally shot!

After trying to dissemble the above garbled potted family history, I assume you're responding to Barrie's post?

Re: George Osborne Cuts
half a million people rely on food banks according to what you tell us.......that isn't everyone.
And as for you posting polls of the inadequacies of the last lot....I can say, hand on heart, that I do not recall this happening....and I am not alone in this.
This is why your posts are taken with a great big handful of salt because you only post sensationalist stuff, cut and pastes with no real discussion of any topic at all.
Any legible, readable discusssion is usually not your handiwork, but that of some blogger on the Huffington Post.

Ah, the typical stock response it seems!

This too it appears!

Really? And how do you come to that assumption? Your response is what I typically expect from you C'mon when you're struggling to put forward a thought out, balanced & cohesive argument (an extremely rare event at the best of times I might add!) in your own terms without recourse to some flimsy "C&P". Which you invariable post due to the sensationalist headline rather than the actual articles content.
For your information C'mon, I view various local & national news casts from UK, read a variety of current news articles on line from different publishers & listen to British radio broadcasts where possible while under way. From all of the previous, I then manage to extrapolate an approximation of the truth appertaining to current affairs within the UK. After disassociating the political & personal leanings, prejudices & predilections of the particular broadcaster/company, I believe I come away with a rather more balanced view of the UK situation than you ever could or for that matter would choose to!
So, to that extent, I would refer you to your own tedious & predictable response & say that your standard response could & should equally apply to your daily biased utterings!

Re: George Osborne Cuts
