I thought his speech was excellent and if he sticks to his words then there is real hope (I didn't vote for him by the way), and am definately prepared to give him a chance.

Exactly, the longer our country faced uncertainty the worse the markets were going to become.
We cannot head into a double dip recession, I am not a fan of the Conservatives but we need stability at the moment, let’s hope the economy recovers.

Labour?
Allah strike me dead.
I've spent the best, most rewarding part of my career (a word I totally detest, its a fuckin job) helping the water and wastewater treatment "departments" of former socialist governments out of the crap, litteraly (sp). The left wing twats want a society dropped to their level, ain't gona happen mate, those that have had 40 - 50 years of socialism want to get up the ladder, make a life for themselves not sit on their on their arses.
Apologies Wayne, I should direct this more to the herbets on MM's board, but name me one "black" (that is a horible word to use to describe a fellow human being) person that complains about racsism, name me one working class person, a genuine working class person that is anywhere near a civil service, government job and I'll show you, maybe a middle class fool, an upper class toff with no brain, just a fanny and I'll give you your labour party.
Thatcher didn't destroy the working class, she gave us the opportunity some of us took it. I think it was Tebbit that said get on your bike, look for work, look at yourself and think what can you do. Brown, a university educated middle class, spoon in the gob shite, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, then Prime Minister led this country into a bigger pile of shit than we've ever faced.
We and I mean we have around 3 million young lads that have made the ultimate sacrifice that are burried on the the French/Belgium border. Some have propper graves, most were blown into small pieces others, who knows.
We on the so called fascist right wing of pathetic british society are actively campaigning to bring the boys back home. I didn't see any mention in any political party manifesto to contribute to the now "archaelogical" sites.
