I have made my mind up!!

Good to see that Al Murray (Pub Landlord) has received confirmation of fhe registration of his party FUKP but his logo had been disallowed.

Farage appears highly irked and said electors will be confused. What? No – surely not! How could he be confused with a loud voiced, beer drinking smoker? He also called for the Electoral Commission to be abolished.

We are set fair for some fun in East Kent!!;)

Hi All,
Tony and Trekbuster,
I bow down to your wider knowledge of carrier operations I was merely speaking in monetary terms I just don’t think with all the down sizing plus the extra still to come it makes any sense, as far as the aircraft go I still think the F-35 is a waste of everybody’s money when you consider if they had put the money into an upgraded Harrier or next gen Harrier it would have been more cost effective than a brand new design that has had nothing but delay after delay. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is now visible to certain radars that have been developed as is the norm when you develop a new weapon a counter weapon is also developed by the enemy ?
CD,
No offence matey but you hit the nail on the head instead of looking at Britain in the world and how we are seen by the world, shouldn’t we be concentrating on looking at our selves by getting our own country sorted out first then worry about other country after were all back in the black so to speak.
Economy.
The economy is only doing well if you have spare dosh or your business is doing well, as for everything else the economy is not doing well despite all the figures given these are a smoke screen for the real problems that are the cause of so many of the following problems.
Employment High.
How do you define more people are employed than before if this is true why are there so many unemployed ?
Unemployment Low.
Unemployment figures do not include Those who cannot claim/Those who are retraining/Those On the sick/Those who are in education/Those who are part-time.
Interest rates Low.
Why are the interest rates low ? because nobody can afford to borrow any more if you try and get a mortgage these days it’s very difficult to get favourable terms that give the lender a chance to pay it off, the lender is forced to take a mortgage over a longer period thus paying more interest, as an example lenders used to be able to afford a 25 Yr mortgage now the usual is 50Yr mortgage.
Low Inflation.
If someone was working and has a descent wage packet coming in where you have quite a disposable income left after paying Bills/Food/Transport/Tax etc.etc.etc. then I suppose you would think that, but for the vast majority who work Full time Zero Hr contract minimum wage jobs they would not agree, let alone those who find themselves on benefit through no fault of their own. If inflation is that low why are there so many food banks springing up around the country that are being used more and more ? lets not forget you just cannot turn up to a food bank and put your hand out, you have to register with the DWP (Please correct if wrong) then you are given a token on top of that you are only allowed to use them so many times.
Oil Prices Low.
Well yes they are but why ? It’s not through the goodness of their hearts treating us for being loyal customers it’s all a game, as an example the Ukraine conflict has a lot to do with it at present. Russia’s main export is energy in the form of Gas and Oil, because of the sanctions applied they rely on that income even more so what other way can they be crippled cut the oil price and that is exactly what the US/Mid East has done by dropping their oil prices meaning Russia cannot compete or it lowers it’s own oil price thus not earning anything like what they should. :eagerness:
