Anyone got any idea why they are striking?

pensions

pensions

Thank god!

See the number of folk that think it's the cost of fuel or some other crap!

[Chillitt]

Are these pensions the ones from the pension funds that are trying to prop up the banks with all the dubious mortgages? the ones that have been asked to stump up 100 million just to stop it all falling over? Oh dear...

Nope.

I vote we strike for 'other crap'!

I reckon there's been far too much 'other crap' in this country since a) 1st world war b) 2nd world war c) Vietnaaaam d) Tesco's Value Range

If we strike against the 'other crap' now, we'll be sparing future generations from it, and perhaps prevent global warming, and seal culls... and maybe fox hunting.

which brings us nicely round to blaming the Americans for selling the bad bebt "sub prime loans" onto the Euro banks who in turn lend our wee banks the millions to supply us with mortages and buy our over priced houses.
the lenders won't drop interest rates in line with the drop in Bank of England base rate because they are frightened of being left with no capitol.

lend too much with no income and you become like the Northern Rock.

nothing to do with the pension problem faced by those workers, until you realise the reason the company made the reductions.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!! CLIMATE CHANGE YES - GLOBAL WARMING NO!!!

there's always been climate change - thats how we know about ice ages and sh1t and......oh why am i bothering..

its all sh1t.

this is what everyone pi55ed off could do.

1. nothing...coz it won't make a difference.
2. always vote in someone who isn't in at the time of the vote. it won't do anything but it will pi55 offf a handful of these few political scumbags. thats the best we can hope for.
3. you could shoot any politician within your capable range (this is the best)
4. kill yourself...fuel costs and stress will disappear instantly.
5. get high...you'll not give a shoit about anything other than munchies.
6. get drunk then do either no's 1, 3, 4 or 5. don't vote while drunk, you may vote in the same guy who's already in therefore making them all feel we're happy with their contributions to this country.

I'll go for no. 5 & 6 coz I don'tdo things by halves.


Get wasted & pi55ed and kill everybody, then claim temp insanity ( although I've been insane for a few years now) and get community service for 3 months.
