Watch out folks, you heard it here first. My husband is a senior economist and is seriously seriously worried about what's about to happen. We need to do all we can to avert a major economical disaster. GB has got us here, do not let him take us further into crisis.

The man who sells Spanish olives and Greek tzatziki at the local market said no problems with the Spanish, but was having problems with the Greeks, they have no tzatziki; I pointed out they don't have much of an economy either.

Ooh, are we off rioting? Happy to roll up my sleeves and and lend a hand. Quite like greenhouses though so can I put my name down to plough up a golf course or two instead please?

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 06/05/2010 10:31

Yes, could have been BNP, we'd have been even more aubergine purple about that, but not much. Will still be stocking up on feta, I hear it's cheap in Lidl.

daftpunk · 06/05/2010 10:34

Thanks for the link ST...

I think we are in for a riot...

No, ST the whole point is that our debt is mature. Hang on, this link explains it better sensible talk

Also, the eurozone will want to encourage growth in the £, they need one strong currency. Cameron will contract it immediately, there will be no growth and high unemployment. Now, that might start a riot.

There must be some purple British veg we could throw. Purple sprouting Broccili?

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 06/05/2010 10:45

It's not very hard Slipperthief, I don't think it would even take out a UKIP sign. But I was wondering whether lobbing aubergines is assault with a deadly vegetable, maybe Purple sprouting broccoli would be looked upon more leniently in court ?

slipperthief · 06/05/2010 10:51

Tell you what though, it would add a lovely spot of colour if lobbed after being steamed to death. Will have to ask a lawyer next time I meet one.

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 06/05/2010 10:55

It's alright, we're sorted. You can get purple cauliflowers, job done with those I reckon. Bert on my allotment grows cauliflowers so they must be OK.

daftpunk · 06/05/2010 10:56

Rioters aren't usually the cool, calm, rational type who are happy to sit and wait 2 yrs for economic recovery to kick in.....they will see their benefits cut to zero...that's all they need to get started....look at the poll tax riots..?

It was all about money...and money people didn't want to pay because it was unfair, which of course it was....people will suffer because of something that started in America..and a few other economic decisions they probably won't understand...like GB selling all our gold

slipperthief · 06/05/2010 10:58

Cauliflowers it is then. Glad that's sorted.

scaryteacher · 06/05/2010 10:59

It's the EU wot said it, the Torygraph is just reporting it. The rest of the PIIGS are looking shaky too.

Dollytwat · 06/05/2010 11:31

good job we aren't all armed with assualt rifles then eh DP

LadycAshcroft · 06/05/2010 11:33

I don't agree with rioting personally...although I can understand how therapeutic it is for some...

I'm a lover not a fighter..

Plus you end up paying more tax to fund the clear up...

Riven I learnt something new today

daftpunk · 06/05/2010 12:22

Justabout;

I have explained that the BNP are not my political utopia...far from it...I am very much into union power and the BNP aren't particularly.

I have said from day 1 that I don't want the BNP running the country, however, I can understand why people have turned to them, and tbh, as I said on a thread earlier, it is counterproductive to ignore debate about them.

I wont be here for ever, (doubt I'll be here next yr ) but when I've gone, someone like me will turn up soon enough, maybe someone even more right-wing, because as the BNP gain more support, their supporters will filter into MN, and everywhere else in mainstream society.

What do you do, ban and ignore them all..?

At least with me I was alway willing to talk about it and try to answer people..
