Just found this, BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Was this Thatcher's greatest legacy?

Makes interesting reading in light of Rover, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and of course Vauxhall......

I am sure that there will be some labour spin on it though

IMHO I think that is not something that just the Labour government would benefit from...!! the Tories could also do with a large dose of that medicine too..but I feel that this is somewhat hard for a politician to swallow..... !

The Conservatives at LCC have promised a freeze and have achieved it by borrowing £40million over 3 years

Well after all those years blaming Labour LCC for everything wrong in the world they will have to try and make an impact now they are in the big chair

I wonder what they plan to spend £40million on?

as an interested outsider.......from following this and other threads it seems the biggest slice of Council tax goes to the LCC, and Hyndburn BC get the table scraps yet it comes in for most of the criticism. How many LCC Councillors represent Hyndburn ? . Apart from G Jones dont think I have read any posts on Accy web from any others ....do they know Accy web exists ?
And can someone also explain how a politician who is booted out of pubic office by the electorate qualifies (and gets within 3 months) a part-time civil service job paying £24K supervising the local hospital without the job being advertised .
just curious

For the borough of Hyndburn there are 6 county councillors - Graham Jones represents Accrington South, Miles Parkinson represents Rishton and Clayton-le-Moors, Cairan Wells represents Great Harwood. (These 3 councillors are all Labour). Mohammed Younis represents Accrington West and Peter Britcliffe represents Oswaldtwistle (They are both Tories) and Malcolm Pritchard represents Accrington North - he is an Independent.

I thought you'd have kept your gob shout about any form of borrowing considering how much your saviour Gordon has put this country in debt, how much £178 Billion his year alone, mind you they won't have to pay it back will they, as usual they'll leave it to he Tories to bring the country back form the edge of oblivion, no doubt Gordon will well rewarded for his efforts with a prime job in Brussels, working for President Blair, jobs which have been bought and paid for by selling this country down the river

The Independent is about as Independent as you and me are.

Massive debt is not just a local (UK) problem.
I have been watching Gerald Celente's forecasts for several months now.
His latest trend announcement can be heard here
Gerald Celente News Blog

The dollar is about to collapse completely.
The USA is bankrupt, and this is due to be realised/admitted before year end.
The first sign will be a prolonged 'bank holiday' when cash movements will be frozen.- (maybe worldwide depending on what they decided at the recent meeting in Philadelphia) You will not be told about this bank holiday in advance, so that a 'run on the banks' can be avoided.
On re-opening for business a new currency will be announced.
This might be the Amero (which has already been minted)
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ged-47655.html
or a New World

Currency
People who have debts are about to lose less than those who have savings - but both will be losers.
When the dollar fails there will be knock on effect worldwide.
I do not know what these will be - any suggestions?

This is not conspiracy theory - it is evolving FACT

Margaret, the Amero debate... well here is a direct quote from the guy.

Quote:

The owners and publishers of Snopes.com are well known jews who would lie at the drop of a hat to protct their tribe. Since it is jew bankers who have the most to gain by perpetrating the AMERO switch outlined in the story below, the kikes at Snopes have every reason to spin this story; to help their rich jew pals deceive!

I personally vouch for this story and stand-by every world of it no matter how many filthy jews come out of the woodwork to say otherwise. I caught them and they know it.

Sorry but he has lost all credibility by writing such racist filth.

No i am not a Jew, just Church of England.

MargaretR · 15-10-2009, 18:22

So put in the thread you have quoted from.

There are liars on all sides - you need to hear all, before your intuition leads you decide what is true -
..................... if anything

Boeing Guy · 15-10-2009, 18:22

And also I have found the designer of the Amero coin.....
UNA Amero Pattern Coins

but I am sure this is probably just another Jewish conspiracy to keep us at bay

So by Christmas we should know if so Margaret I will apologise. Will you come back and do so?

Also now put in the correct place.

What have the tories ever done? Mmmm ... seems like one, David Wilshire, has topped the list of those ripping off the taxpayer .... $200 000.00 seems to be quite an oversight on his part .... oooops

If all the MPs who had their snouts too deep in the public trough did not run for re-election, there would be an awful lot of rookie members after the election.
