Uk....your opinions

Nevakonaza · 03-10-2008, 09:11 PM

Hello to my fellow brits

Whats your view on the way the Uk is run now....and become?

i would love to hear some honest feedback.

heres just a few of what i think (all bad by the way)

personaly i think its got worser here since gordon brown our new pm took over,Hes put taxes up even though he said before he was made pm that he would reduce taxes.

the cost of living here is getting rediculas,I have a friend at work who earns £200 a week,he has a son now 1 years old,and a step daughter from his girfriends previus relationship and a rented council house.

hes always unhappy because what he and his girlfriend earns every week by the time hes paid rent on the house,bills etc hes left with about £20-25 left for a whole week which if you think about it doesnt go far.

also...i dont want to offend anyone with this post but immigration is becoming a huge problem here and our goverment welcomes them in with open arms leaving us who were born here without jobs.
i read on one of the newspapers that around 80% of job vacancies goes to a immigrant

its realy bad and im 19 years old myself and dreading getting a flat when im older because im afraid i will not be able to afford one.

i realy do not want to stay in this country when im older,And alot of people seems to be moving abroad now to escape the high living costs.

so yup theres my little moan lets hear yours please.

Having just seen the 2008 Budget I’m starting to think this country is being run by morons who think about the money they can get and less on funding the local community. Ok the NHS gets money but not the amount they need as they are STILL in debt.

And fuel! Working in a fuel station I see the figures changing all the time, Unleaded @ 103.9, and Diesel @ 109.9. At the end of march last year unleaded was 88.9PPL!. That is 15PPL more! The government takes over 66PPL on tax. You pay fuel tax and value added tax on fuel.

PLEASE DON'T GET ME STARTED!

Except you don't pay robbing prices like over £1 a litre ($2 a litre).

FTW 1 euro= 1.5 usd
So that would be about $5.68 per gallon in the UK if it costs 1 euro per liter.

Wait, is the UK using euros?

£1... get it right, were not participating in the euro and hopefully wont be either, we've still got good old fashioned great british pounds £1 GBP = ~$2 USD

well govnuh, welcome to the world of capitalism turned into a neofederal oligarchy of business CEOs and lobbyists.

They have already begun to peck away at your rights in England, and now you see a shift. I mean you can't bear arms anymore, and now only criminals have guns. When the government tightens its grasp and strips you of your rights it just a matter of time before all your rights go away.

You need to vote those in power out of office, protest, write your offiicals, speak your mind, sign petitions and be politically active. If all that fails, move to Australia, hot women, nice weather, non of that political BS.
