Glad it gave you a laugh SavageBlue.  Unfortunately I can't claim to be the originator, but it's so much more descriptive than 'hangers on' ;D ;D

Did he tax you for it?

I,m entirely serious Valmarg............a very sound track record for 11 years..............I also believe he will over the next year  convince the great majority of the current deceit and distortion by the torys which is taking place

A sound track record? Originally living on a the sound economy he inherited followed by by booming world economy, the chickens have come home to roost.  £5 bn a year taken from pension funds and he wonders why pensions schemes collapse. Massive increase in the tax credit system with added complications to ensure a new army of bureaucrats has to be paid for and also that those who need it the most cannot work out their entitlement and are terrified of getting overpaid and having to pay it back.
800,000 more on the state payroll with index linked pensions. Failure to govern the City. A raft of stealth taxes so that we've become the most highly taxed country in Europe. Tax and red tape for businesses so that it's harder for us to compete with rest of the world. The gap between rich and poor wider than 10 years ago.

Surely one or two of these things have been noticeable?

Sorry about the rant. I think I must have taken a grumpy pill - will go and tend my garden with a soothing glass in hand.  :-[

comical how an 11 year superb record can be attempted at being destroyed by jibber.............get real

Not to offend anyone... but the amount of folk that complain about the government... do they actually do anything about it and stand up for election??

They reckon a majority of folk in this country don't vote, as they think what's the point they all the same!!.

like the bloke who fell out of a skyscraper. Eleven storeys - doing all right so far.
I'm sorry, I'm completely disillusioned. I'd rather chop a testicle off than vote Tory, I just don't see the point of the Liberal Democrats anymore, and unless I develop a deep hatred of Europe or black people there's no one left to vote for
It's not Iraq or even spin and lies, it's just the monumental incompetence and waste

Part of the problem is that because we don't make anything anymore we have had to create hundreds of thousands of virtual reality jobs, but the wages and pensions necessary are very real indeed.
The Banks have got no more money left.
Food and petrol at all time highs.
I hope I am wrong but we could be in for a bumpy ride. Time to batten down the financial hatches and put an extra row of spuds in ;D

Nah, you're havin' a laff.

You are trying to defend the indefensible.

His track record is tax, tax, tax and more tax.

I think his biggest challenge will be his own party.  They are beginning to realise just what a liability he is.  Its taken them 11 years, but eventually the penny drops.

It might have been a rant but I don't think it was gibberish.

I can only think of one good decision while GB was chancellor: putting the Bank of England in charge of interest rates, something I think the Tories promised but never delivered. As you probably know the interest rate is the main economic control over our economy and it wasn't in Gordon Brown's hands so he can only take so much credit for that.

Tax credits are a bit like the poll tax - some good looking aspects in principle but rubbish in practice (check out the latest report from the Institute of Fiscal Studies or Parliament's own Public Accounts Committee).
