Proud to be British?

Yes lets all be honest and say "we are proud to be British and we value our culture and way of life".

People of any nationality, race, colour creed etc. are welcome here but they must respect our society culture and values. If they object to our way of life then there is the way home for them back to their country.
If we visit their country do they not expect us to respect their culture and way of life? - yes.

I say an end to appeasement and political correctness. We have our laws and anyone, yes anyone British or not who breaks them must face the full wight of our laws. All men are equal in our country.

Well said Katie Hopkins.

Government is hurting the Thrify who voted for them

Yes if you have any savings spend it before its worthless. Just like Germany in the 30s. We'll need suitcases of money to shop at the supermarket.

Seriously with low interest rates even low inflation - but that is higher than interest  - is eroding your nest egg.

I thought that the idea was that Banks/Building societies raised funds from Savers by offering them interest.

When they had the funds then they lent it out to Borrowers (mortgages etc.), they pay interest.

So providing you,  (Bank/Building Society),  receive more in interest than you pay out you are profitable.

Now we have another situation the Banks (Building Societies?) get “free” money from the Government to Lend out thus they don’t need savers money. But where does the Government get its money from? I guess us? SO actually this is a win win for the banks they’ve nothing to lose hence the Fat bonuses.

It’s about time the government was told by US that they must stop and go back to the old system. If interest rates were raised then Savers would save and the money would be there to lend out. Remember the interest paid is TAXED so the government gets a cut too.

China? Better Learn Mandarin

Have you noticed where things are made these days? yes 9 out of ten seem to come from China.

You know this worries me to hell.

See, riots in Greece due to their economic woes and they blame Germany for bleeding them dry (actually it was more like a parent spoiling a child). Anyway I'm more worried about China.

The day will come when lest say the ships and planes stop coming from China to supply us with all these nice cheap goodies (iPADS and iPhones, TVs and gadgets). Then what do we do? We've no manufacturing here.Also what do we do when China decide because they've a monopoly (We've no manufacturing here.), they decide now that they don't need our western money, 'cos they've got it all (where do you thing the US and us get our money from at the moment? - loans from China), they either put the prices up and then we're all like Greece or they just stop bothering, and we're all like Namibia (who cares about them?).

SO OK just sit there playing with your Chinese gadgets, on your Chinese made TV on Chinese made furniture etc. etc.

Be really really worried about China.
