Typical Political Bureaucrats.

Yep heard this on the radio this morning, it wasn't even sited in the right location but let's not worry about that eh? It's only taxpayers' money after all.

By the time increased energy prices make it viable (if ever), it'll probably be obsolete.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

There was something on the Discovery channel a few weeks ago about these wind farms, they said we need a tropical storm everyday of the week to make them viable.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

The wrong sort of wind... Too true. :)

I'm still not clear about the loner term maintenance issues and costs associated with these things.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

I wonder if this was voted through a committee and the people not understanding the technical jargon - or was someone given a bung from the supplier.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

They should have installed it inside the debating chamber. There's bags of wind in there.

There was an article on the BBC Wales site yesterday about how their refurbished offices have been fitted with TV's, etc. at huge cost. It has vanished now though.

Austerity? What austerity?

You beat me to it!

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

More like it.

This is typical of the self-serving clueless Welsh Assembly. Little more than a local council Town Hall. The Senedd was a waste of time (Roy Davies - "We could have it built anywhere in Wales") and now Cameron is thinking of giving them even more financial powers?

What a joke. Spending money just so they can be seen by other 'governments' to be doing so.

And yet there are calls from within their ranks to increase their numbers as they are "overworked". :mad:

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

We have an Assembly Member who comes to the running club I'm at. She's very nice on a personal level but my motivation for training harder is when she starts discussing policies :afire:

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

Its obsolete now

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

I wouldn't tell Mr Cameron about that - otherwise he will instal more and make us pay ofr it, while he gets heat on the cheap.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

Yeah, cos that's what Tories do, the evil baby-chomping gits. :rolleyes:

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

The problem is that we still have a Labour government and they haven't stopped spending:mad:

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

I will say this agains. Since the Tories came to power - they have BORROWED more money than Labour ever did.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

I don't suppose you'd care to back that up?

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

Actually he's right. The reason for it is that the Labour party created a structural deficit, that is, they fixed the budget so that every year, the country was spending more than it was earning and had to borrow to cover the difference.

The deficit is now so large that even if we balance current spending against tax receipts, we have to borrow more money to pay the interest on what Labour already borrowed. This is why the #TORYCUTZ are necessary.

Personally, I think it takes a special kind of dumb to moan about cuts one minute, then moan about levels of government debt the next.

Re: Typical Political Bureaucrats.
 

Amen to that! :D

Having to borrow to cover existing commitments and making it deliberate (and unsustainable) economic policy to spend/borrow far too much are of course not the same thing. Which is why it's always going to be Same Old Labour - red isn't 'their colour' by chance, it represents their total addiction to debt...

Of course some sad deluded folks kid themselves that HMG can just spend, spend, spend to keep them in the style to which they've become accustomed. They often can't manage their own finances so it's no surprise they vote for a party which can't manage the nation's.
