Kes Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Not that bad for pensioners with a pot. Hello KW how are you going to cope with 5% unemployment and a cap on benefits spending?

spinach Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I The point he was making was that the last shower of ***** failed to regulate the bankers effectively!....and my point was it was hardly a thing to make point scoring jokes after the hole that appeared in the wests finances.My view on the Budget , not as pointless as the last aborted mission and certainly a coming election one, oh and I don't think that is what his quip was about at all. I think he was going back to the" look what the last lot left me!" I gather your not a Labour supporter!! John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
