The G8 worked then, their lavish meals with discussions about the world economy all panned out in the best interests for the world, their stunning forecasts and intervention all dedicated to make sure that financial meltdown does happen, all the back slapping, greedy 8 course meals, expensive hotels, security that we as a world paid for was extremely helpful.
I mean to say look at the enviable situation we are now in, are the politicians going to suffer? are the worlds richest going to suffer? and bankers who have helped lead us into this situation are going to rake off nice hand outs, after all the bloke who ran the Halifax is reputed to be getting £2 million, all for leading the company to disaster, nice one bloke.
I wonder who will get what pay off for causing world depression and the threat of global war?

More Good News
More Good News.
Reading the Telegraph this morning was an extremely gloomy affair, nothing much in the way of good news, except for that awful Gordon Brown, who seems to have scraped up the polls, but for us normal mortals things look bleak, bleaker and heading towards bleakest ever.
I want to leave my job where I'm desperately unhappy, under paid for what I do, not recognised for the dogmatic contribution I have made to get this 'charity' back into the real world and the work I have carried out to get what I see as a failing care home at least starting to show some signs of improvement.
Our press needs to realise that always presenting bleak news will ultimately depress the nation and those whole read the papers, a few rays of hope are essential for ordinary people, maybe then we will regain the wartime spirit we had in the past.
Paul Newman passed away, a great film star and a real shining light, but up until this morning I had no idea how much this man had done for the world. It would be nice if the press spent more time pursuing good stories like his contribution and others to the world. The press and the editors need a wake up call.

Zero Timers
I got fed up with Philosophers on Ice, the site was great, but then all of a sudden things started to go sour. God came into almost every blog with baiting of others abounding, by a Christian of all people, it got down right nasty and dirty, but isn't that the same the world over.
So I bit the bullet and started a new site called zero timers, so far a good start I only pop in every now and again as my son and I have taken up archery and every spare moment is taken up with dashing for the archery field to practise our new skills, or to scare the hell out of others depending on which side of the fence you sit.
Zero Timers is an open site as opposed to POI so anyone can join or ask me to join, I just want people to able to share without the nasty aggression that seems to have to take place on some blog sites, after all we are all entitled to our own opinions and we should respect others opinion, something politicians would do well to understand, so Fook Off Brown and Co.

Meltdown
Well the financial world is in meltdown, is it good or bad. To me it was bound to happen and our wonderful politicians around the world all had their snouts in the trough in one way or another.
The blame is being firmly laid at the banks door steps and quite rightly after all these so called experts decided it was wise to lend huge amounts of money to people who couldn't afford to keep up payments or afford the repayments in the first place, very clever, or in plain English very fooking stupid.
Now we have banks going to the wall, but the greedy b'stards who help start it all still crawling out of the woodwork with huge sums of money, that Halifax Geezer will get about £2million. Our politicians have also helped produce this as they either sat on their collective fat backsides and allowed the banks to exercise unscrupulously in this market for years. They have consistently ripped off the ordinary punter and everything has been hidden away.
I'm also sure that many of the politicians had a hand in the sub prime market, surely I read somewhere that during his time as Chancellor (or should that be Chancer) Brown was not only involved in destroying our pensions selling our gold reserves, but I seem to remember reading somewhere he had invested some of the country's wealth in the sub prime market, but all of a sudden that news seems to have gone off the radar, I wonder why?
So what do we have to look forward to? One thing is for certain, more claptrap and bullshit from politicians, e.g. look at the most recent Labour Conference and that sickening episode with Browns wife introducing him, then him trying to do a Blair. His spin doctor certainly earned his 30 pieces of silver that day, I hope the b'stard never has a decent nights sleep again. The elderly, the most vulnerable and the poorest are going to suffer the most and the politicians will demand more money or will continue to scam as much as possible from expense accounts and keep reminding us how lucky we are to have such wonderful public servants as themselves.
Time for a revolution yet?
