    "I thought we had racked up a huge national debt providing these things."

    I was always told...

    You know what thought did? It planted a feather and thought it'd grow a chicken.

    "Clearly, I was wrong."

    Plainly, Mr. Tuffen you were wrong.

    Mini riots of the brain seem to stem (no pun intended) from the real thing on the streets. A tiny section is scooped out from a reasoned arguement and much play is made.

    It might well be said, fair person that I am, that Government overspending needs to be curbed, rather than it continue with funds the country does not have.
    BUT
    This is a consequence of the debt being foist upon us and not the reason for the debt itself.

    Little wonder so few are in the know as to what all this talk of, 'Big Society', actually is about.
    Patently it is no more than a smoke-screen for the usual Tory iniquity

    How easy it is, though, for such glib/trite phrases to be misunderstood.

    Some might think, as perhaps does Ms. Whatsername, that within the phrase is some small recognition of how a once proud and industrious nation has turned it's (political) back on the human beings in it's midst and forsaken industry for the pursuit of riches at all and any cost. One which sees the country's future only in terms of a Global Marketplace. Jobs these days are no more concerned with making things other than the statistics looking better.

    Brown (for instance) may well have spent what he had hoped to earn and was assured he would earn. But, in the end did not earn.
    Dave (or any other Tory) may not have spent in quite the same way in the same circumstances, but would have insured that his pals got an even greater portion of the nations (assured) wealth, he may even have spent some on buying votes. (Homes for votes. Anyone?)But, in the end the end result would have been exactly the same.

    We are lost and walk parched in a desert of hopelessness. Bickering about snippets of reported speech merely points this fact up.
