ham2 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 18months of high unemployment and anti-business relations. Can you guys relate to that? What's Your climate? ...Yup, same here except we're just starting out on a course of foul tasting medicine to cure our sick economy...it's gonna be a long haul. I'm hoping the Conservatives can kick-start our private sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I reckon things are pretty tough, its not all newspaper hype, there will be many thousands laid off in the coming monmths. The company I used to work for are planning 650 redundancies, they will be out by the end of September. There are people out there that have all the trappings of a good lifstyle basically with coppers in their pockets trying to put a brave face on things.

baldilocks Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) B40RT Can you give me your NI Number please. when you turn up at casualty next one of the public sector unemployed will gladly tell you to F*ck off ! I love the idea that the public sector is in some way to blame for this Public sector funding is being reduced as we spent the cash on bailing out the private sector banks. The banks have returned to billion pound profits rather quickly and never really stopped paying each other bonuses despite the amighty mess they had created. Slash the public sector, go ahead, what do you think will happen to the retail sector when unemployment starts to rocket again ? A number of NHS Primary Care Trusts who contract with your GP, local hospital, opticians, dentists etc are losing 50% of staff. Sure any business or organisation has some slack to cover holiday, sickness etc but 50%, no chance. Service will no doubt have to be modified, some waiting list targets have already been scrapped which means people will wait longer to be treated. So thats a great plan, glad I didnt vote for it.

And there is part of the problem, they confuse debt with wealth.... until the sh 1t hits the fan. But the neighbours were impressed.

Yeah I agree... one of my old work colleagues once told me (boasting of course) he was worth a million. I asked by what did he measure his wealth, he was happy to illude to owning a house (that's a house not a home!) worth about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the intelligent response, shut your eyes (and mind) put your fingers in your ears, but the problems wont go away. Always the health service is trotted out as your main defence, but we all know the "Public Sector" is the huge machine which main purpose is to employ. Seems to me that the banks and financial institutions were completely ungoverned, FSA, what a joke. Labour government did nothing to reign in their excesses, I take it you did vote for that ? "when you turn up at casualty next one of the public sector unemployed will gladly tell you to F*ck off !" that's if they aren't off sick and being replaced by an agency nurse/doctor.
