The Three Amigo Chancellors

Silent pause.... Right you ready for this? ok Channel 4 had a broadcast of where they had the chancellor and two other shadow chancellors on. They were to be asked whats happening or what will be happening with the debt, tax increases, and global economy. Now from watching the programme long enough before i fell asleep at Mr Darlings Monotone voice, i realised that either constituency's maybe could win the next election. Having said that, it seemed that Mr Osbourne(Conservatives) wanted the goverment to work for the people and use our taxes to better advantage but he let him self down by not explaining where they would find the money to fund other expenditures. Hearing that one chancellor is wanting to look after your taxes to the best of their abilities then one saying that they will rasing it again further and a other just going for who gives the best arguement. lets be honest liberal are just a flock of sheep and gordon brown is the sheep dog.

It really depends on how much you love your country and willing to make it work again and believe the drivle that come out the amigos mouths cause some it must of tasted like vinegar coming out of theirs. No mp would want to lose a cushty we number being the constituency in power so they will say pretty anything you want to hear. Its up to us as a nation of debt payers to try and figure out which one of these "amigos" is sincere. Probably none of them to be honest, but Mr Osbourne did make a few valid points in regards to some of the struggles as citizens do every day by maybe reducing the tax on the poor and stopping a 10% tax on death!! heres some of the transscript from the event.

8.04pm: First question: What personal qualities do you have that would make you a better chancellor than your counterparts?
(Good question.)

Cable goes first. He says he has a lot of experience. He warned about the debt. He also recommended policies that the government did adopt.

Darling says: "Tenacity, I hope, amongst other things."
(That's almost a joke, which is good. It makes him sound relaxed.)
He talks about his judgment being right. He says he was right when he warned about the downturn being the worst for 60 years. He also mentions his commitment to fairness.

Osborne says the chancellor needs to be part of a team. He talks about the need to remember it's the public's money.
I think Osborne lost that exchange. The other two mentioned things they had done personally. But Osborne replied in very general, bland terms.

8.08pm: The next question is about the steps that need to be taken. What needs to be cut?
Darling mentions the need to cut the debt.

Osborne says he has set out "difficult decision".
I don't pretend that there aren't more difficult decisions ahead.

Cable says the Lib Dems are committed to cuts worth £15bn. He mentions cutting Trident and ID cards.
There are very specific cuts that we could identify.
Cable won that round, I think. He mentioned specific cuts

8.10pm: As a follow up, Guru-Murphy asks Osborne why he thinks cuts have to come now.

Osborne says many experts agree with him. But in the end it "comes down to common sense".

Darling says:
It's simply not true that everyone agrees with you.

Osborne retorts:
I know you don't.

Darling goes on. He says the Tories have announced tax cuts today (my phras, not his) without saying how they would pay for them. He says that's a terrible judgement.

Osborne says that Darling wants to increase the tax on everyone.

Cable says Osborne denounced the savings announced by the government yesterday as "complete fiction". But now Osborne is using these to fund his national insurance cut.

That's the best intervention so far.

Guru-Murphy comes in. He asks the Cable question again.

Osborne says people know how much money is being wasted.

Darling says:
All of us want to tackle waste, and we have been for many years.
Osborne has "not a single penny in the bank" to pay for his cuts, Darling says.

Cable challenges Darling to explain how his savings will work.

Darling says Osborne is committing himself to paying out large sums of money. Buthe can't fund them.

Osborne seems to be frowning

8.21pm: Q: What will you do about public sector pensions?

Darling says the government has started to reform public sector pensions.

Osborne says Darling is talking as if Labour has not been in office.
He says the Tories are committed to imposing a £50,000 cap on public sector pensions. And they would carry out an audit if they got into power.

Cable says there needs to be reform. The current situation is "scandalous".

Does he mean cuts, Guru-Murphy asks.

Cable says there will have to be cuts.

Osborne says he agrees with Cable that there should be cross-party consensus on this.

Darling says Labour and the Lib Dems tried to get consensus on social care. But his attempts to do so "weren't very successful", he tells Osborne.

Osborne says the Tories did not agree because Labour was proposing a death tax.

Cable make a joke about a "love in". Someone else (Darling, I think) jokes that it appears to be over.

Osborne says a 10% death tax is not fair.

In the end in politics ... we looked at Labour's option, a 10% option, and that was just something we didn't want to go with.

Darling says there is an international consensus on supporting the economy.

Osborne accused Darling of a "complete misrepresentation" of the Tory position.
He asks Darling if the death tax is still an option.

Darling says it isn't.
There will be an announcment about long-term care soon, Darling says

as you can see Lib Dem is agreeing with who ever gives the best arguement in my own opionion.

Who ever wins.. we wont see much of a change just maybe a different person waving to us!

Teenage sponsorship drinking

Well well well looks as though the fired up out of thier face 15-17 year olds wont be getting to taste the beautifull sip of the tennants or any other brain numbing drink at any gigs or football matches... lets all have a minute silence for them.. *cough* aye right. Probably better they dont drink as they just make total prats of themself, like for perfect example running about their t-shirts of and screaming tttttttttt in the park, (yes love/mate i know am at titp i bought the fucking ticket and sat waited in a queue for two hours... i dont need you reminding me of it every five minutes and especially at 4am. So in my own opioin yeah the goverment is right to ban them from drinking. solves alot of problems instantly, not that it will stop them all but certainly put a dent in the mass amount of idiots running about like scattered sheep.

Also there stopping putting brewery logos on kids football kits. i can see there point, but in all honesty how many 0 months - 10 years looking at their top and going i want carling and become a alkie. not to many to be honest. they get it from the parents or down to peer presure from friends and also the fact it has been the way for hundreds of years people drinking. so why stop now, cause the goverment think its a good idea. ehh no mr gordon brown, we enjoy our weekly let go. its our way of saying goodbye to one week and hello to another. we work hard for our money and mr brown tax us enough so why cant we enjoy our selfs.

As a child i was allowed to drink but in the house, and it was that stinking becks but i was allowed due to the fact i was at a certain stage of my life and was curious of alot of things and drinking was one of them. I always had a wee tipple at my friends house, well a sneaky one but who hasnt apart from the obvious. It was the teenagers way of rebeling against the parents and showing the finger without hurting feelings. Then coming home and trying to walk as normal as possilble but laughin at everything and falling half way up the stairs never really worked.. ahh the good old days.

hello my name is????

Should they stay or should they go?

To the shop i mean. Imagine if you will you send your child to go get the paper and theres been a murder a few months ago or would you rather they stayed at home and looked at the net?

in my mind i think they should go out and get the paper and as keeping them in is encouraging lazyness and they dont learn anything but whats going cheap on ebay. where as going they get the fresh air and the stretch of the legs and maybe bump into a friend on the way.

Me as a parent would send my child to the shop as wrapping them up in cotton wool never helps or makes them think for them selfs in the future. even sending them to get something you enjoy it sends a signal of trust and independance to them. where as saying just stay in ill do it, is just asking for trouble as they may start talking to the wrong people in regards to over-aged men with glasses and a beard who betray them selfs as 15 year old hip hop teenagers.

so the morale to this blog stop being overprotective and send them out, as they were people getting murdered and robbed when we were growing up in the 70s 80s 90s nothing has changed just the P.M.

Street smart not internet dumb

The boyle of scotland

As a member of the driving society i have driven through the dreary underground thats called lochgelly, and to be brutally honest it deserves to be flattened and started again with alot of places. If lochgelly is getting a re-design of its town whats going to happen next mcdonalds on the a92.

Looks as though they have a designer who has been designing many towns across the world and has also designed the set of the truman show. Well i hope hes brought his family with him cause hes going to be for a while, until he gets rid of the local bed warmers and maybe design them a island of there own. lochgelly will still be the sess pit it is today. if he thinks the town can go do a makeover then hat of to the man and lets see what the future has to hold for lochgelly as just over the hill is ballingry.

The councillar has some faith in his work;

Councillor John Beare, who chairs Fife Council's planning committee, said: "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can't stress enough how exciting this is for Lochgelly and Fife.

As he enjoyed a pint in Torleys Bar, John McCauley, 56, said: "It's something that's urgently required here, so I don't think you will find much dissent.

ehem... he stayed in a lochgelly pub to have a small beverage, get him to the hospital and check for every known disease known to man and check make sure he still has his wallet.

Where have you gone!!

What happening with indie music? it seems to be taken over by faders and equalizers and some half naked women. Last year alone never really seen a indie band reach number one. Which is a shame as indie has been going many years even before i was a twinkle in my dads eye. From the likes of the beetles and the jam and the clash. They all had a good stranglehold over music along with other major genres now a decent mix of beats and rhythm on a mixing deck it makes number one. No thought no background or history or pain in it. just plain simple music. Is it a lack of appreciation of the youngsters these days. all they want to listen to is either someone screaming into the microphone or trance. Even when a decent indie band bring a record out its slated by critics by not giving enough electric flair and it then fails to reach number one.

Its not as though theres a lack of indie bands, you have the likes of the courteeners who still bring out that raw edge of music that Britain is missing. That still ain't enough for the youngsters as they need there daily intake of the latest shite of remixed techno shite from some one boy wonder from the states "go away Chris brown"

Don't know about you but i would rather listen to a old granny record like ub40 red red wine than listen to another Chris brown.

Bring Back INDIE

Breezy Spring... whats that about?

Ok so its spring and what do we expect? nothing but big lushing licks of the sun getting hotter and the mindless droans getting out in there shorts with the near on milk bottle white legs that have never seen a ray of sunlight. Then you get the jet setter wana'bs who kick about the street with there claire sweeney jazz hat. Thats not the case in this climate, no no no we have freezing cold mornings and a tiny, tiny, tiny increase in temperture that takes the chill of the air but not enough to stop our nipples from becoming glass cutters.



now i may sound like a old fart but youll have me pegged wrong, am that typical person you will see kickin about in my shorts and a t-shirt that is far to tight and should never been allowed to be made. you can imagine the t-shirt.



Now this spring is it a sneaky peek of things to come.. for summer i mean waking up and you see the sun and think politely in your head oh it looks warm, get outside and you take toll of how bad your decision was to slip on those old flowery shorts in -1 weather. When its cold we have a good laugh at the people who decided they werent changing there clothes and walk down the high street like right fecking plebs. What makes it worse they have knobbly knees and it reminds you of that toothpick you had a few weeks ago.



Now when summer does eventually decide to grace us with its presence, we shall be ready!!!...... with the long john's, tea cosy you stole of your gran with alzhiemers, the gagoole that you found in the back of the cupboard that your aunty mavis gave you several years ago and were sorted. Nothing looks better than looking like a trainspotting victim!

So they people with the white coats say that its all down to global warming now is it really down to that cause that just sounds like big gathering and everyone getting warm. they say we drive to much and theres to many cars and to much pollution...my advise stop having fuckin band aids, live aids and gathering of mass celebritys, cause guess what they all use planes and cars to get to these places. look at sting did he not generate 7tone of co2 just attending some of the charity events and fightin a forrest!! do they suffer nope, we do cause the goverment think that the best idea is to rise some tax's. Good idea Mr Brown make us work harder use the car more and hit the petrol station more times than changing the channel on the sky remote. To me they should revert right back to the 60's when the times were good and mps werent getting pad astronomical wages to sit on there arse and keep warm there bed sores. lets be honest here mps are just glorified doal bum's.

Rewind back to the spring...

Dont know about you but am rather looking forward to the good old spring, waking up having that feeling of the sun in the air, and listening to the kids playing in their back gardens and the grass getting by the dads who should of done it months ago but was at the pub all previous times of being asked and being able to sit in the back garden having the stereo up full blast listening to the worst records ever played but not giving two hoots what the neighbours and firing up the old bbq and cooking away like your some super and telling your wife her food is shit and yours is all godly and stuff... ahhh the good times.

Bring on the Spring!!!!!!
