Question for the members who are in England (1 Viewer)

[Mike375]

This is a copy of a post on another forum/site. Is this correct?

"You think you boys have it bad you want to come over here (England).

Banks going bust and having to be bought out and propped by the government,. Just about all bank lending has now stopped, even blue chip stuff, this is driving the house price through the floor and causing people to hold on to whatever cash they have. We have huge job losses not only in what little manufacturing we have left but also in all other sectors. 1 in 5 shops have closed down in some areas. Unemployment is massive and our inablity to stop economic migrants from poor formerly Eastern European countires is not helping.

Our Labour government is not really doing anything effective, it is just increasing the buisness rates (what businesses pay for the Police and Fire service, they pay extra for things like rubbish removal), their latest wheeze is to simply print more money.

We are now in a full scale recession, probably the worst since WW2."

I'm glad to hear this, because when this is all started, and even before the stupidity came into play, I never had a penny to my name. So the best thing in the world that I would like to see would be to have all of the rich people of the world fall to their knees, and I won't be sheading a tear. Better yet, I would like to see every single banking institution fail as well. That is the best opportunity for poor people like me, so I am ALL for it. Go democrats! One way or another, I could care less, with no assets, no bank savings, and no job, I don't care the slightest little bit.

 

[Mike375]

Your theory has a problem.

In general, no matter what the system, most people will retain their rung on the ladder. In other words, in the brave new world you will still be on the bottom run of the ladder but in the brave new world most of the ladder will be under the ground

 

[ajetrumpet]

So be it buddy. I never had a penny to live on anyway. Good luck to you all that were able to accumulate wealth while it still had a chance. I, for one thing, if the world doesn't fail by then, plan to work well into my 80's and 90's just so I can live comfortably in retirement.

But you have the internet. You probably eat food that is cooked and maggot free. You probably drink reasonable water etc and etc.

But if you were on the bottom of the ladder where the ladder is not very high then no internet, raw meat for lunch including maggots and water full of shit.

 

[ajetrumpet]

I would have never lived the life Mike, so I have no idea. End of story. Go tell that crap to the millionaiires of this country that are too busy playing golf instead of putting their free time to good use. Dont' complain to me. I'd do good if I had any resources whatsoever to do so.

 

[Rich]

I'm glad to hear this,

You're glad to hear that ordinary men and women are losing their jobs, homes etc. unbelievable

Great Britain is being retitled Crap Britain. Anyone under the age of thirty who doesn't emigrate from this washed up dump that the labour government has given away to the scumbags from every third world dosshole is crazy (in my humble opinion).

Irish "travellers" (thieving, dirty, tax avoiding flytipping ratbags), Romanian mafia pimps and women traffiickers and Somali terrorists are all welcome here. Let us give you a large benefit income and free housing or some compensation for being roughed up after being arrested in Afghanistan with a false passport and a kalashnikov. Please don't worry about our laws, they don't apply to you.

Thanks to socialist benefit "safety netting" we've even raised a subculture of our own white trash, families where three generations have never worked and don't intend to just so long as we pay their bills. Then there's the fat family - mother, father and two daughters who've eaten themselves morbidly obese and then insist on our supporting them as they're "too fat to work".

Add to that a collapsed economy that Brown has destroyed and mortgaged years into the future, savings that earn "f" all and pension funds ravaged or stolen.

Welcome to our brave new world and Heaven help the children.

One way or another, I could care less, with no assets, no bank savings, and no job, I don't care the slightest little bit.

So who are you sponging off of then? The state? Family? Or are you living on the streets surviving on handouts from the Sally Army.

From an accountant, I don't think so

Hey AJ,

Think you should go back to being an Anonymous Member

Yeh, I have lost my house, but I have my job, my family and my dignity.

I do agree partially with you, I hope the banking system fails, I know that out of the three lenders who were secured on my property, one is on the brink of administration and the other has been nationalised... Good riddance I say.

Bankers.... It's not rhyming slang for nothing..

As for the Government, they have hocked the country up for the next 50 years, but don't worry because Gordon's ok, with his pension he'll be playing Golf with Sir Fred Goodwin..

 

[ajetrumpet]

Looks like I've stirred up a bit here. Too bad if it's caused grief, but i really don't care personally. My father want to jail, I ran a household, and I've gotten screwed by head hunters' promises in a competitive market. So, in other words, I could hold grudges, but i don't. I will get even one day, but don't expect me to be giving money to children in Nigeria for textbooks when I'll be spending the rest of my days paying back debt.

It's unbelievable to me how people expect us to PAY PAY PAY for things that "unfair" when we can't even feed or clothe ourselves. I'm sorry, but ME FIRST. If you don't like it, you can kiss "you know what".

And BTW Colin, being an Accountant has it's advantages. If it's ANYTHING I know, it's how to save every single penny every single way I possibly can. It's all in the tax code and the IRS publications bro. Just READ, if you have the time (which most people don't unfortunately!)

You don't seem to know even what you claim to know.

 

[ajetrumpet]

Next subject. I just woke up for god sake!

 

[chergh]

Well maybe you shouldn't just make shit up as you go along then.

 

[ajetrumpet]

I think that's enough Chergh. Thanks for playing. I had a good time. On the next post...

Come on, if he stopped to think about what he was posting, we wouldn't have gems like:
" ....I could hold grudges, but i don't. I will get even one day..."

Previously on The Trumpet Show:

Some time back, Trumpet was crying into his milk about not having any friends and promising to leave the forum.
Then he left: or did he?
No, he immediately came back - under the guise of an anonymous member! Unfortunately, this fooled nobody, so he gave up and returned as himself.
Along the way, he must have found some friends as he's now focussing on having no money.

Stay tuned for more adventures...

Oh - to add to my rant, our police are all too busy filling in forms in triplicate and attending equalities training to actually nick any criminals, if and when they do the judges are so far out of touch with reality any sob story will get a hardened criminal off the hook. But look out any honest householder who dares to defend his family or property against a poor misunderstood burglar hopped up on crack, laughing his socks off at the last verbal caution he was issued with and defaulting on his community service order. Government ministers are claiming thousands for second homes even though they already live a stone's throw from Westminster and MEPs are on the world's biggest non-stop gravy train.

We are the most watched nation on earth, supposedly for our protection with cctv in every urban area. For what? Protection on a Saturday night in South Warwickshire where I live = you're lucky if there are 4 police on duty to cover 6 towns.

I used to be proud to be British, now if go abroad on holiday I look at some of my fellow Brits with their beer bellies hanging out and chav clothes and tattoos and feel ashamed to be associated with them. I walk along the ramblas in Alicante at midnight with my wife on a Saturday night and mingle with well dressed, civilised people with their families enjoying the warm air and nightlife. I don't go into Stratford upon Avon on a Saturday night if I can avoid it - the nightlife consists of 15 year old shoolgirls wearing clothes that wouldn't make a decent handkerchief, puking up in the shop doorways.

Has Britain gone to the dogs Mike? The dogs wouldn't want it.

Never mind a decent handkerchief, clothes that any self respecting prostitute would be ashamed to walk out in!

You haven’t had a go at the NHS yet, so let me help you out with that one. Our beloved devolved government did us the great favour and abolishing payment in hospital car parks - well most of them any way. I understand you guys down there in England are campaigning for the same? Don’t! It doesn’t work. All it does is turn the hospital car parks into unofficial park and ride parks and people who legitimately need the parking can’t get any.

And don’t bother trying to see a doctor! Most of the surgeries here tell you to phone at 8.30 of the morning you want to see the doctor. So you phone to find that the line is engaged for half an hour, when you finally get through the receptionist tells you there are no appointments and if you want one you have to phone at 8.30!!

When you do get to see a doctor, they can only give you ten minutes of their time. But that’s ok because they have a small selection of options for your diagnosis:

1. You’re stressed, stop smoking and take these antidepressants
2. You’re depressed, stop smoking and take these antidepressants
3. There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s smoking that’s causing the symptoms so stop smoking and take these antidepressants, just in case…

Don’t even bother trying to go to A&E. You’ll take your place in the queue behind the aforementioned 15 year old drunks only to be attended to by a 15 year old intern who has only learned how dish out antidepressants and tell you to stop smoking.
