Today I'm angry about.....

[thebish]

Some Tory representative on the telly this morning, can't remember her name (Green, Greening), summat to do with finance and with a smug face whenever she was asked a question about VAT rises, it effects etc all she should say is its labours fault with no real actual answers! FFS answer the bloody questions and they wonder why people are sick of politics and politicians.

that'd be justine Greening - heard her on the radio being asked if it was another broken promise... the answer is clearly - yes - but she wouldn't even go as far as to tell us they had changed their minds... as you say - she was content merely to say it's all labour's fault - which (let's face it and - get used to it) will serve them well for the next 20yrs - and it is all you will ever hear...

she's a bit scary...

Thing is Bish, even my most right wing Tory loving friends and colleagues (friends in the loosest of senses I should add) are getting a bit sick of that now.

Things are starting to bite, bite real folk in real homes, people who can't afford owt.

The "its labours fault" is already wearing off and for me all red Ed needs to do is keep criticising quietly, not attract too many headlines and wait for the cuts/tax increases to erode our society further and further.

[Zulus Thousand of em]

Ed certainly won't be giving us Labour's solution for recovery any time soon.

[Raven]

That's the woman.

Anyway back to angry...ok just a bit pee'd off...electric razors is there one that actually works? And thats without taking 20mins!

[BWFC_Insane]

Ed certainly won't be giving us Labour's solution for recovery any time soon.

Nope. And why should he? Its not like the Tories or Lib Dems did before they got in.

indeed - what would be the point - this govt is here to stay for 5yrs - no point labour developing a new economic strategy for NOW when in 5yrs time the picture will be very different. running the country is not the job of the opposition.

So they haven't broken any election promises then? Blimey, it's all a bit confusing this politics mullarkey.

[thebish]

just trying to be helpful - what with it all being so confusing n'all!

You've been a great help, thanks. I now understand where you are coming from.

My point being they outlined something, then did in some cases the complete opposite.

So really if Ed said nowt, he be more honest than the lot in now.

Of course he would. Of course.

Not that even after 13 years Labour were still banging on about the previous Tory government though, is it?

[Lord Kangana]

And so they should. Gordie leaned over young Kenneths shoulder and copied his homework.

[Bruce Rioja]

Bruce IF you are with a big firm then get the complaint into them. We noticed things improved markedly once we had.

Many thanks for the advice on this one, Insane. Stuck a complaint this morning and, low and behold, they assign someone to look into it straight away and by 10:30 they've found all the missing paperwork.
Get this though, these people are supposedly the cream of the crop - high earning professional types with gumption to burn. Whoever had opened my mail, on realising that there was a cheque in there had taken the whole lot through to the accounts department. The accounts department, spying said paperwork and adopting a nowt-to-do-with-us-Guv attitude clearly coundn't be arsed with taking it to who it was meant to be with.

Wankers!

Yeah its exactly the same thing as happened to me. Within a day of the complaint being emailed off they had given me direct numbers to the solicitor and the manager of the team handling the case. All the "missing paperwork" appeared and was blamed on different departments "not doing their job properly".

These firms seem to operate on a do nowt until someone majorly complains basis, but once you do things get moving. Just make sure they give you all updates in full in writing now. As we found that moved things along much quicker as on the phone they could easily change their story from day to day to suit!

indeed they did - roll your eyes at me if you please - but did anyone suggest otherwise? that was partly my reason for confidently predicting that it is all we will hear for the forseeable future...

Is this the f*ckin' politics thread!?? That's what makes me angry.....
