A blatantly obvious truism made publicy by Trevor Finn, but it needs stating over and again because Mc Clown has lost even the common sense he was born with.

Seems to me the only difference between New Labia and Old Labia is that they are all conts but the new ones are lying conts. Roll on a general election so that they can sink back into history for another 20 years, things haven't been this bad since the first lot were here last time!

Oh don't worry...it'll soon sort itself out.

They won't be able to lie about inflation for much longer now the Bank of England have to send an open letter every time it rises above plan. This will eventually drive interest rates up and then everyone (like sheep) will dump Gordon and is hangers on....and vote in Cameron and his hangers on.

They will spend the next 10 years blaming Gordon and Tony until it all changes again.

While you have self important prats running the country its never going to work.

I think they should be limited to 2 terms before they have to go away....

They all go mad in the 3rd term.

And don't get me started on global bloody warming and carbon bloody footprints !

It's too late this time.

We do not have anyone of Thatcher's calibre to undo the damage and I don't think we could take it all over again.

Trouble is, that lot live in a lower-sixth socialist dreamworld where dogma is everything and they cannot see the damage, anger and unrest they have created.

It could be petrol prices stopping punters buying new cars, but it equally could be cars are generally lasting longer i.e. no need to trade, or it could be the credit crunch, or it could be something completely different. I honestly doubt that lowering fuel costs will increase demand in new cars! If you think about it, new cars are generally MORE efficient than old cars so people should be buying new cars to offset the cost of rising fuel. Personally I think the guys talking out his arse.

Its both the cost of fuel and the new Road Tax rules which are starting to be understood by the masses.

Makes sense to hang on to what you have unless you actually need to change.

Its reflected in the available financials of the major dealers such as Dixons and Pendragon both of whom are suffering and planning further redundancies.

That didn't stop the sheeple before. So why now? Becasue people are generally too lazy to work things out for themselves and hence get branded idiots.
