Is this the most dangerous man in Britain?

[tweedle]

I take the OP wanted to brand Osborne the most dangerous man in Britain then only allow replies that agree with him?

The thread title is a question, you might not get the answers you want. Next either don't ask a question or accept people will disagree some stop frigging moaning!

[techguyone]

I was scratching my head a bit, I've seen it in a few threads now where various people seem to only want yes men, then have a pout and even threaten to leave the forums because people post differing views than them.

I get sick of hearing that everything ever done is 'Thatchers fault' but hey if that's what people believe, that's their right to say it, I'm certainly not going to leave the forum because of it.

No forum suffers because of differing opinions, in fact the forum would suffer if we all agreed on everything.

You take it wrong. Try reading the thread again.

No one has "threatened to leave the forums because people post differing views than them". What a load of rubbish ..

You are right in one respect: there are many, many posts where people just want to trash Labour, the EU, etc. and just want yes men to reply and agree with them. They then get upset and annoyed when someone challenges them and presents a different opinion.

[techguyone]

Yes right....

Grim up North: I did think about leaving all together but do still talk to some by Pm and would miss that.

You: Recently someone posted a comment that this constant deluge of the same viewpoint over and over again was a reason to leave CF. I think I know what they mean ..

Keep looking for those big boy pants, you'll find them eventually (hope they fit)

Nice try, pasting comments out of context without the link back to the original post. Let' see what was actually said:

One other thing to bear in mind is the forum does have a blue colour scheme!

BTW I do think you're talking sense

If all you can do is make things up and come up (yet again) with the same childish insult, I'd stop there.

[techguyone]

You know, context or not, those words were typed, which means 'not made up' and you're right, big boy pants is getting old, big girls blouse feels more apt.

Let's focus on the premise of the posts, and leave out the personal attacks, please.

Repetition of this behaviour could lead to the Infractions being incurred.

The title of this thread is a QUESTION.

This is a healthy forum and we are seeing healthy replies for all sides. its heated, its harmless, it's healthy.

I said at the time that while I don't support the Tories, I don't blame David Cameron. He was only doing what most politicians would, trying to win an election. I blame the other politicians (and in particular Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg) all of whom managed to fail to provide a credible opposition to the Tories.

I also think that to reduce the debt, the Tories need to take another approach. Cutting things clearly isn't working as we do not seem to be recovering from the recession as fast as other countries have. Perhaps ensuring some of the mega rich actually pay their taxes would help (note I did not say corporations because the government do appear to be trying to solve that, albeit slowly).

Whilst I think there are serious flaws in some of what's being done in the name of 'austerity', which other countries have recovered faster than the UK? I don't see many signs of much recovery or growth in Europe.
Bearing in mind the massively disproportionately effect the failure of our banking system had on the UK's problems after 2008, we were in a far more serious position than many of our competitors and even now things in that huge sector are far from good.

As regards where we are politically, surely Blair's success was in part* due to the abject failure of the Tories to provide any credible opposition for a good number of years. We're in a similar situation now I reckon and the longer Labour carry on with this loony nonsense the longer it'll before they regain any semblance of credibility as an opposition.

* another part being the highly popular policy of chucking money around like there was no tomorrow.

Don't move to Suffolk:

Suffolk Police to lose 111 posts in cuts drive

Only three police stations would keep their front desks open.

[techguyone]

26 real police, sounds less scary than 111

I'd ask for a reduction in my council tax so I can buy a gun to protect myself with.

Good luck with that...

[Gary L]

I know. the council's vocabulary consists of the word 'cuts'
everything is answered with the word cuts.
they get away with a lot by using the magic word 'cuts'
