The media there seems to have that much of a hold on all too many and they take this election nonsense seriously. It's good to see the rise of alternative media and the likes of Russell Brand in that regard. Now that is an activist!Quote:

With the monarchy, the police state, the invasions, you have a system that isn't all that far from North Korea! Yet they carry on as though they are holier than thou. 'We have created 7,000 new jobs in McDonald's, you know!'. Bwahahaha! ;D
same thing in the United States. Yesterday's job numbers and last weeks factory and manufacturing report were all piss poor and much lower than the government had predicted in America. Yesterday a beautiful wall Street Journal article showed that America's fastest growing employer is Costco Wow Gee that's great lets all get a job stocking shelves at Costco and wear a nice little Cosco uniform like little bitches and bastards for $8.50 an hour stocking massive sized potato chips and salted peanuts on the shelves for 600 pound Americans who come waddling in with their 220 pound teenage kids. Thats what I call a career.!!! That's what I call real job growth.!!! Obama and Cameron are the heroes of all the people.
They were asked those questions largely.Quote:

Ed Milliband has always said the war was wrong. He did not vote for it.
The fact is Milliband wipes the floor with Cameron at every Prime Minister's Questions and is likely to at these events, but the public will believe what they are told, and what they are told comes from Cameron's hounds in the right-wing press. The public think that Ed is awkward and uncomfortable and will assume that that's how these things are playing out, but actually if you watch then anyone with a soul can see that Milliband is the only one of the two that has a heart.Quote:

That I don't know, most companies in the US want to hire part time as much as possible these days. Part Obama care and part left over effects from the great recession. I'll see if I can dig up a graph.Quote:

I'd say "You need a graph? Well just ask Kirkland." but if you're asking for one showing the ill effects of Obamacare I'm afraid he wouldn't be so helpful in providing that for you.Quote:

Putin took a region after a poll in which they chose to stay with Russia whilst Britain full on invaded several nations and left the Middle East a ruin. They full on threatened Scotland who now knows the score! Russia is no paradise, but the British are laughable in their hypocrisy. Carry on speculating.....
