'Saving' the housing market?

If Alistair Darling wants to save the housing market from itself, why not give homeowners £50bn to pay off their mortgages rather than give it to the banks!?!

As it is, inflation will now go through the roof whilst the economy goes down the toilet!

PS What about those of us who have waited patiently for the biggest house price correction in a generation!?!

Eyes of the world?

President Robert Mugabe has said the "eyes of the world" are on Britain and said that it should hold an election without delay!

Millions had been unable to vote and "their voice must now be heard".

Between a Northern Rock and a hard place?

Had the FSA restricted Northern Rock's mortgage lending or challenged it's business model before the current credit crunch, who would have complained most, Northern Rock's directors or shareholders!?!

Promoting social cohesion

If Former attorney general Lord Goldsmith wants to promote "social cohesion", why not reduce the level of immigration rather than encourage pupils to swear allegiance to the Queen?

PS Should civil servants swear allegiance to Gordon Brown!?!

"I swear: I shall be loyal and obedient to Gordon Brown, leader of Great Britain and people, respect the laws, and fulfill my official duties conscientiously, so help me God."

Holiday commitments

I'll be on holiday until January 20th so the lack of incisive or witty comments on the current state of British politics will continue for another week...

Thought for the day

Should Police Officers be expected to serve as Prison Officers for ten years rather than retire after just thirty years of service!?!

Their experience would be relevant, they would save the taxpayer a fortune in pensions and would reduce the risk of striking prison officers!

UK's oldest emigrant

Lived through two World Wars, Ted Heath, Jim Callaghan, the winter of discontent and even Maggie, but after just six months of Gordon Brown......

Bugger!

"All my savings were in Railtrack and Northern Rock"

Should parents receive a letter from their child's school to warn if the school is not providing a satisfactory education!?!

Islam is Peace?

If stereotyping a racial group is a no no, are Muslims allowed to be stereotyped as being peaceful!?!

British Executive?

When will HM Government rebrand itself HM Executive as it's powers are increasingly usurped by the European Union!?!

Sub-prime meltdown

Is the sub-prime meltdown a better means of transferring wealth from the rich to the poor than any socialist economist could ever dream of!?!

THE multi-millionaire financier Martin Finegold, dubbed Britain’s “Mr Sub-prime”, has become one of the biggest public losers in the market meltdown.

Sprint finished?

Will it be good when every single A-level student only earn A-grades!?!

Should every athlete competing in the 2012 Olympics 100m sprint win gold medals or would the world want to know who's the very best!?!

Where are the locusts?

Love him or loathe him, you have to admit that Gordon Brown has had a tough honeymoon since becoming Prime Minister.

"Let the work of change begin" but who'd have guessed he was referring to floods and pestilence.

When will the locusts arrive!?!

Quelle surprise!

The Law Commission wants to increase solicitors' businesses by giving co-habiting couples more legal protection...

When will the car garage lobby succeed in making annual professional car services compulsory!?!

How does Gordon Brown propose to meet the needs of people who want cars but cannot afford to get on the first rung of the car buying ladder!?!

The only people we hate more than the Israelis are f*****g Hamas - Fatah spokesman?

The only people we hate more than the Israelis are f*****g Fatah - Hamas spokesman?

Age Discrimination

Would a single Equality Bill 'tackling' age discrimination outlaw free bus passes for the over 65s, senior citizen discounts at B&Q or half price hair-cuts!?!
