Good find saru

Re: RM plans to destroy the CWU!
Did anyone see the "postmen beware - there's lots of people after you're jobs out there", how on earth did our nation become infested with such idiots. If Mandelson & Crozier ever do manage to add me to the mounting total of unemployed, the very last job on earth I'll be going for, will be a low-paid, part-time one, In Mandelson and Crozier's "New Model postal service."
Nah, any stuck-up moron who helps bring that scenario about, will have to live with the fact that some of their taxes will be used to pay for my enforced idleness, because at my age, I won't be in too much of a hurry to re-join the rat race. No way.

Feet up for me too mate! A life ahead of reading (The English Civil War always fascinates me), listening to good music (I recommend Ralph Vaughan Williams, George Butterworth, Arnold Bax, Edward Elgar, Walton, Frank Bridge. The British composers are just brilliant!). Why should I go out to work when I can follow the example of the rich and idle? Members of Parliament, the Royal Family, British managers. They don't work, why should we? I'll develop a bad back (and after a life of working on building sites and carrying bag loads of unsolicited rubbish, who could doubt me?) And, of course, a nice lump sum to see me safely to the pub of a weekend. Real Ale! Bring it on!

Sadly the genuine cases will have to be penalised too, because of the "Shameless" culture that has been allowed to develop.
There is a wind of realism blowing through the economy, and folk will have to realise they wont get owt for nowt!
Is this the wind of realism and the owt for nowt your talking about
Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in the firm's 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial regulation reforms.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: RM plans to destroy the CWU!
There, fixed it for you.
Its that sort of attitude that will mean that benefits get stripped right back under the next goverment, hitting those who are genuinely unable or too sick to find work.
Sadly the genuine cases will have to be penalised too, because of the "Shameless" culture that has been allowed to develop.
There is a wind of realism blowing through the economy, and folk will have to realise they wont get owt for nowt unless they are bankers, MPs or Adam Crozier
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

Last time I popped my head out the door, I found I was still living in a country that has turned job creation into just two quite pointless, quite meaningless words, and that even in my own industry, my being a humble postman is just intolerable to the wealthy.
If I have to hunt the wealthy in order to feed my family, I shan't be shy, on that you will learn to rely.
