Not my problem if folk are unable to read what is written is it?

Yes, if this is due to the poor quality of your written English.

Yay! Great news for Bolton Midnight! Celebrate good times, come on....

At least 100,000 public servants will receive grim news over the Christmas holidays or soon after as councils, police forces and other public services race to meet a deadline of 1 January to formally announce job cuts.

An analysis of local authority documents reveals that the number of council redundancies directly resulting from the coalition's austerity measures is expected to break the 100,000 mark by early in the new year, fuelled by the swingeing cuts announced this week to councils' budgets and the pressure to start cutting before the new financial year in April.

Would you like a direct quote from a cabinet minister?

There are a lot of things happening. There is a kind of Maoist revolution happening in a lot of areas like the health service, local government, reform, all this kind of stuff, which is in danger of getting out of control. We are trying to do too many things, actually. Some of them are Lib Dem inspired, but a lot of it is Tory inspired. The problem is not that they are Tory-inspired, but that they haven’t thought them through. We should be putting a brake on it

A "Maoist revolution"?

Not thought through?

The minister in question is Vince Cable, the business secretary. Even he appears to have little or no confidence in some of the government's policies.

(And you can't blame The Guardian for this one. Here's the source:

And Cable has said that being in government is 'like fighting a war'. Have to say, without the LibDems fighting against the tory onslaught, we'd all be overrun... They will be remembered..

100,000 is nowhere near enough, pre 97 the state employed about 2m less than it did when Labour lost the election, it needs to go back to those 97 figures at the very least.

If they want to protect their colleagues jobs then why not take a pay cut like the private sector has? Why because they are selfish parasites who don't understand the real world.

Cable now admitted he was talking crap, he couldn't bring anything down, was just acting Billy Big Bollocks to some under cover reporters - shows a lack of judgement if nothing else.

If he doesn't like it then he can go back to the obscurity he enjoyed before being handed a bit of power.

I was going to give my views on the TV program

Good final episode last night

Showed how even though he was originally the injured party the woman will always win in court, so all the blokes got sent down and all the women were free.

Plumber - harsh vedict
Soldier - harsh verdict
Woman arsonist - should have at least been fined for damage she caused
Taxi driver - stalker freak deserved to be sent down
Paedo killer - not real true to life as they'd at least check before kicking him to death

To clarify, because as so often I'm having difficulty with understanding your posts, is this a critique of the programme or are you suggesting that the justice system will routinely side with a woman?

[Bolton Midnight]

That's the chap

The programme reflected that nicely

How can passing forged notes be viewed as a worse offence than torching a wharehouse with somebody in it.
