SNAPS ON SATURDAY

So, there was a debate, and Johann couldn't answer any of the questions

But she had a good excuse. She wasn't genetically programmed

Unfortunately , it seems the rest of us are all thick too

But anyway, the Queen of Germany came to see the Queen of Scots
Unfortunately the poor woman was also obliged to see Cameron

Wings gave itself a month to raise £53,000 and had it done by tea time

British Airways was positive about an independent Scotland saying it
would be good for business, and promptly did himself out a any chance of a K

It wouldn't be UKOK without some bribery and
corruption going down in government.

Bowie, who lives in the USA and Switzerland
sent someone to England to tell Scots not to leave ..
he said "us", so I assume that means the "US A"

Noel (thanks Stu), on the other hand, 
thought it was a good idea.

Sounds like a fine fellow

Oh, and his mate too. A friend of the rusty lady

Well, that says it all. Tories just don't understand us

George Osborne went down well for Labour

This one was just astonished

Absolutely astonished

Not being genetically programmed to do politics,
she must have decided to clean the kitchen.
Mine's needing a good dicht too Jo, if you're free

And the Norwegian Oil fund which brings in £14 billion
a year in interest alone hit Half a trillion pounds in total.
 In 20 years, that's not bad.
Tax take from UK oil is around £7 billion
UK Oil Fund interest £0, because...
...UK oil fund £0 :(
Can't have everything!

And it was on the Monday Morning that the Gas Man FAILED to Call!

It never rains but it pours for Gordon. First the civil servants, then the BA staff, then the railways and now the gas men.

The British Gas dispute is over working conditions of engineers, boilers fitters and general electrical repairers. The union (GMB) also claims the company has a "bullying culture".

British Gas wants to make the engineers work longer hours. Many of the engineers apparently get away with working a four-day week, even though they are paid for a full week's work, which seems like a weird situation to me. Of course you might ask how the management (so called) allowed this situation to come about in the first place.

The GMB claim their members are subject to bullying and that engineers are pressured to sell extra services to customers whilst mending or fitting a boiler. According to the union the average amount of time an engineer is allowed to fix a boiler or other appliance had been cut by 22 per cent, in an effort to ensure workers completed more jobs in a given week. So.... they only work four days a week, but they have to do 5 days work in the four days..... Hello, is there anyone in?

Of course British Gas denies all of this. According to them they are model employers and no pressure or bullying is ever exerted on anyone at any time ever....

A whole article can be read here, and various people may analyse it the way that they will. However, I suggest that this is just the start of a lot of action over the next months and possibly years, regardless of who wins the election.

This recession was caused by greedy and incompetent people at the top. Banks and Financial organizations wanted more and more money; governments failed to regulate companies who were behaving outrageously madly. Even financial illiterates like me could see that if incomes rose at 2-4% on average and house prices rose at 10 12%, there would shortly come a time when no one could afford to buy a house except the Queen (and maybe Lard Ashcroft).

Inevitably it all crashed... just because it was bound to sometime... and one day someone started a whisper that it had started, and so people started calling in debts upon which the world depended for its very existence, and ....BANG! It was over. (Of course it started in America and spread around the world.... tra la)

Even in Britian where the Wizard of Arse had abolished Boom and Bust, the bottom fell out of the economy. (Obviously it was everyone else’s fault)

Now we have to pay. But it’s not the people who caused all this strife who are paying. Oh no. It is BA cabin staff; it’s engineers; it’s transport workers, and civil servant. It’s soldiers and pensioners, and it will be all manner of other people.

Amazingly the bonuses for the morons in the banks go on, because if they don’t get big bonuses they will throw their toys out of the pram and go somewhere else. It’s not Ministers and it’s not MPs who have just pocketed £1,000 a year increase, as pensioners are getting a decrease.

British Gas have mismanaged their way into this, and because “everyone” has to tighten their belts they are trying to force their fitters to do more for less. (Despite the fact that British Gas have been coining it in!)

So, if anyone thinks that these strikes are anything other than the beginning of unrest ...then they should probably think again. It seems like Brits have may grown a back bone.
