Not been on for a while so I thought Id have a good old moan about the state of the place , life goes on much as before work still grinds me down although we have just had a few weeks hol in Greece , Sad really the place is about dead the prices are eye watering because of huge tax hikes and its hitting the biggest revenue earner they have (tourism) very hard wages are all down, there is next to no seasonal employment and the ex pats who live there cant sell up and come home as the property prices are down (if they are to be believed) around 50% meanwhile at home, Our Leader "Lord Snooty" Cameron has joined in with a load of American senators today, (at least the ones that can spell and dress themselves) in an unprovoked attack on Scotland for releasing the "terminally ill" Lockerbie bomber now is it just me or is this slightly hypocritical as the man who ordered and paid for this particular outrage (Gaddafi) is at present welcomed with open arms on both sides of the Atlantic and drooled over as he signs various trade agreements, the Americans at the same time seem intent on blaming BP for just about everything so Cameron was sitting there with that not so convincing sincere grin issuing denial after denial "no BP didnt want him released in exchange for drilling rights, no BP are not responsible for Jennifer Aniston not being able to find a boyfriend or Ben Afflecks Horrendous acting neither did they genetically engineer Simon Cowell or indeed have anything to do with the rise of Justin Bieber Scotland on the other hand,,,,,,,,,,,well there's no Tory votes there so sod em
And while I'm Rambling/grumbling what’s with the new tax law simplification, is this so its harder for folk to avoid paying it or easier for George Osbourne to understand it he was on TV trying to explain it all with that toilet door expression of his (Vacant) and he only seemed to have a tenuous grip on it himself, he says the old system became too "opaque" under labour but surely that’s the point, if people can actually see him helping himself to everything in their wallets until the are pissing lemon juice he'll find himself moved to ag and fish in short order !
