AlanHo Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 This article rang my bell - and is expressed so well.How long will it be before the PC brigade complain that the new coins no longer have the denomination as a number - but expressed in English text. How on earth are non-english speaking immigrants going to be able to spend their government hand-outs....Its a real bummer.....Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Maybe it has something to do with the long term game plan to switch over to the euro, and this way the change will not be as obvious (despite the devaluation, which may not be totally accidental). The euro coins may look more traditional to the British eye and more familiar to johnny foreigner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchful Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I heard this very good 'Points of View' today (I'm a fan of Clive) and I agreed with him. Change, for no obvious reason, is happening too fast, not to mention the cost.Why can't they leave things alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Why can't they leave things alone? All conjurers know that they can fool pretty nearly everyone if they can draw the attention of the onlooker to something other then what the onlooker should really be watching in order to find out what is truely happening.

Watchful Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 My heart sank this morning when Hazel Bleary came on the radio again with her 'What the public wants is........' and I tried to imagine what it would be like if she were to become PM!!

Belatucadrus Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Problem with Blears and her ilk is that they seem to believe that the Publics' opinion is defined by them and can be set by some new policy document. Unfortunately it's far less susceptible to state manipulation and her finger appears more in her ears blocking sounds of dissent than on the pulse. Her impersonation of a spoilt child in a playground " Naaah naaah naah can't hear you naaaah na dum dum de dum" is absolutely impeccable and worthy of a place on Britain's got talent.
