Climate of fear

[ParaHandy]

erm ... 9/11, Blair and his perceived security threats (this, in a country which survived 30 yrs of the IRA), dodgy dossiers and global warming (which is seen primarily as a source of tax revenue) .. is it any wonder that we are losing our common sense and faith in human character?

This is bad enough but I suspect that the UK banks' debt obligations have been optimistically calculated to hide the probable extent of their liabilities, which can't be disguised for long, and once confidence goes the way of everything else, we're fecked .. ouch

Me too then.
I am with Parahandy's erudite fecked theory. One of me pension pots has plunged 21% lately, feels like 2002 only worse. Never mind, another 10 years to catch up again.

I have turned over my garden to Palm Oil. If I want to be carbon neutral, I will sell it for food oil. If I want to be carbon negative, I will sell it to BP.
Same same, never mind.

Yer right

We're all doomed . . .

If I had a garden I'd turn it over to skunk though - one of the great British success stories.

i`m afraid it won`t grow in the garden - just yet, but bring on the global warming ( need a smilie for green fingers nick )

No, you're right - there's probably someting in that erudition.

Funny old world when nationalisation is a four letter word and the railways are fecked but the only thing that gets taken into public ownership is a bank

hnmm.. Todd . echoes of Dr Kelly? Rendition inquiry .. what if the CIA blackmailed him .. serial adulterer, does'nt ring true that mere exposure for a bit of shagging would worry too much .. or perhaps i'm paranoid!
