i'm voting in a national election for the first time in over 20 years.
it feels good to be part of the process once more.
i'm wondering how the rest of you feel about it.
Hi Ah-hah
Sorry I've took so long to answer
In answer to your question about Tony Blair making changes: he has the authority and they've taken the money off everyone to pay for it but whether they have the intelligence to actually do it is another matter. Basically he is all talk but no real substance.
Here's one of his latest fiasco's: http://msn.co.uk/exredir.asp?STARTID=2232&URL=http://itn.co.uk/news/20001112/britain/01dome.shtml

Another one...
8. Petrol and pensions were both supposed to rise by the cost of inflation but Petrol went up over 3% whereas pensions rose by just 1%...they took the inflation figures on different days. Pensioners were given 75p extra a week. One old man sent a cheque for 75p to the Inland Revenue in protest because he was so digusted and they cashed it !
We're going to emmigrate BTW...

A Pratt is the polite word for a Wa*ker, which makes Tony Blair one hell of a pratt!
What is the dissatisfaction with Tony Blair - where do we start?
1. They have changed tax law for IT companies which means that the whole of Simon's company's income is treated and taxed as personal income with no allowance for company expenses which prevents investment in the company and means its harder to compete with larger companies (which the law dosn't apply to...surprise, surprise - they advised the government to implement it).
2. They have spent over $1.5bn on the 'millenium dome' which is probably going to be bulldozed next year.
3. Hospital waiting lists have gone up despite billions being spent on the NHS. They made a promise that "no one would wait over two years for an operation" but then changed the rules so that you have to wait before you are on a waiting list (so you don't get counted) and if you've been on a list for two years you just get moved to a different list!
4. Schools are closing and good teachers are being replaced with unskilled 'helpers'. Liam's school has just changed from a nursery school to a nursery class which means they don't have to pay for proper teachers.
5. Petrol costs over $2 per litre, the roads are in the worst state since records began and there is congestion everywhere. His right hand man gave a speech telling us to use our cars less and avoid making unneccessary car journeys but went from his hotel to the conference centre to give it (400 yards) in a 6litre Janguar...his wife went in a separate car exactly the same.
6. We can't go more than a few months without a train crash. That's when they run at all.
7. They let the flood defenses in many areas run-down despite warnings so we now have massive flooding in many areas. Over 40 rivers in the UK are on high-flood-alert and people have been evacuated.
Other than that...it's great!

Simon and myself voted for the first time a few months ago in the local council election. It did feel good doing our little bit.
We will definately be voting in the next general election - every little bit helps towards getting rid of that pratt Tony Blair
but you can only choose from:.
timothy dalton.
sean connery.
It has to be the incredibly sexy Sean Connery
Roger Moore was just to slimey
when i first checked out this board i also thought it was a board for active witnesses.
the more i read, the more i realized that it was pretty much a x-jw board--more to my liking.
i disassociated myself in december of '98.

"but if you want him dead -- well that can be arranged.".
you want him dead?".
maybe he could get in touch with her and cancel the whole thing.
Thanks Frenchy
I enjoyed that, very amusing
I looked up Enter The Traveller this afternoon, that was really great.
I'm sure if you write any more I wouldn't be the only one who'd love to read them.
