Re: The Tories
I did try to read it and make some sense of it...but gave up......it isn't worth wasting my life on.
C'monstanley...you have been away for a while...I don't know where you went(nor do I really care) but I would ask you to consider returning whence you came.

You can go back now - I've had enough already.

I wouldn't know, brother ... I didn't wade ... didn't even get my tootsies damp. Maybe I'll try a little later when I'm stoned and on my 6th Barking Squirrel:
Hop City | Barking Squirrel
The perfect beer for a thread wander on a gorgeous summer day And on that note, I think I'll grab a bag of peanuts and head outside to feed my friendly neighbourhood squirrels ... mmm, feeding peanuts to the squirrels. That could be a metaphor for how the tories view the downtrodden masses.

Agreed, but for "Tories" read "politicians".

Less, are you trying to make me think I have Alzheimers disease?
I know exactly what I posted.......I just wanted to reiterate for those who do have Alzheimers, and the sentiment still stands.

Re: The Tories
For all those fans of privatization, I just ran into this:
Serco: the company that is running Britain | Business | The Guardian
There are some things in any nation that should be run by the government ... the private sector should not be involved at all. I personally would include rail transportation and hydro; but prisons, schools, hospitals, and all that kinda fundamental stuff should not be handed over to scumbag companies ... Haliburton for chrissake Try telling that to Tories and Republicans.

Re: The Tories
serco are a hedge fund company. i think this is a conflict of interest as 75% of tory members of parliament are involved with a hedge fund company. see the peoples assembly are going to be joining labour and influencing policy. there is a revolution happening before our eyes and the politicians wont see it. viva revolution

Re: The Tories
private firms are not open to the freedom of information requests due to "commercial confidentiality" so they shouldn't be running public services at all .so if they do get contracts the law should be changed to make any company running a public service to be open to the freedom of information act.

I'm not a fan of private company's dealing with our essentials, however, they have been sold haven't they?
To private company's, if whichever party had said you can buy it but we the Government will still be in charge, surely they would have replied with something along the lines of, fine, we'll buy it but if you are going to interfere, for a lot less than you're asking.
(I was going to say for a peppercorn amount, but c'mon, c'mon you wouldn't understand what peppercorn means).
