Do you think David cameron is doing a good job of running the country?

A good job running the country?

Well lets have a little look.

A panic caused at the petrol pumps a few weeks ago with a governmental statement.

The top rate of tax lowered for the highest earners

Income reduction for the lowest earners and pensioners

Free labour for huge corporations via work fare

Bankers bonuses still rife

Tax evasion still rife

The use of off shore accounts still rife

The economy has not grown since the coalition took power

Corporation tax lowered which includes the people that caused this global recession

The cash for access scandal

He promised no top down reorganisation of the NHS and then tries to back door privatise it

Welfare reform for the sick and disabled with a medical process that does not take into account medical facts.The government know the medical is unfit for purpose as a governmental report was done in to the issue around a year ago yet still the medical is going ahead.They have even encouraged the bonus culture in these medicals by paying the company a bonus for each and every person they find fit for work

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jul/26/work-assessments-incapacity-benefits-system?commentpage=6#start-of-comments

Under this government the divide between the rich and the poor is now growing faster than it has for over 100 years

So to me this government are a disgrace.We were promised Fairness, Transparency

Now how is it fair to make the poorer sections of our society pay for this recession and our national debt when the poor in this country are too poor to receive credit?As the poor can't get credit they were not part of the cause of this global recession

To me Cameron has done an abysmal job of running the country and has not delivered on his key election promises.Things like pasty gate have been used to try and distract away from real issues.Pasty gate also shows just how out of touch this government is with the general population.We have seen riots and lots and lots of protests.We will see more protests and strikes due to the policies that are being implemented.

There is one sentence that sums this government up in my eyes. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Having said all that i find Labour and the Lib Dem's no better.They are all in it for themselves and we are not all in it together like they keep telling us we are.

The situation is nothing more than a disgrace.

OH and forgot to add that one of the reasons we were told for the reduction in the top rate of tax was due to tax evasion.The 5p reduction is supposed to encourage tax evaders to stop evading tax.If you believe that this measure will stop tax evasion then you are deluding yourself.

The message that sends to me and the rest of the population is it is ok for the rich to evade paying tax as the government wont chase you.How else were amazon allowed to evade paying tax for years.I bet not one rich person who has been evading tax will be chased down and prosecuted.If it was a poor person evading tax though bet your bottom dollar they would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Osbourne and Cameron find tax evasion so morally repugnant they decide not to chase rich tax evaders and lower the top rate of tax in the hope it will stop them evading tax.Sheer awesomeness.Do they really believe the rhetoric they put out to the general public?

Answered By: MYRTEL - 4/8/2012
"Biftat....." forgot to add

Tax evation costs the UK around 15 times in lost income than lost to benefit cheats

but when was the last time you heard of a tax evader even being brought to court, never mind going to jail?
compare that to the number of "benefit cheats" being brought to court. and going to jail

Then compare the policies
Tax evaders - lower the tax so that they dont have to evade
benefit cheats - decrease the benefits - (so they cant cheat as much maybe?)
Answered By: Who - 4/8/2012
You did mean ruining, didn't you?

Tax handouts for the obscenely rich, work till you drop for those still working, older people's travel concessions and winter fuel aid slashed, social services attacked, working families on low pay attacked, British troops in Afghanistan for at least another two years, law abiding citizens spied on, schools privatised, hospitals and clinics privatised, police numbers slashed, fire cover slashed, tuition fees, already a shameful crime against humanity, trebled, etc etc.

We need to destroy Toryism once and for all - and that doesn't mean just the Tory party. The Newscorp Labor PLC Tories need to be consigned to the dustbin of history too.

It's time to build an alliance of all decent people, socialists and social democrats, workers, students, retired people, homemakers - all those who work, or have worked, too long, too hard for too little, pull down this corrupt political caste, expropriate its obscene employers, and bury Thatcherism once and for all with a stake through its heart.

Nope.

I do think he's better than his 2 predecessors, but that's hardly a recommendation. I could just as easily say that a kick in the shin is better than a kick in the testicles or a poke in the eye. True, but still not exactly what I'd hope for.

"Running the Country," you have to be kidding.
"Call me Dave" is at best the mouthpiece for the big corporations that want to see their own agenda put through.

We have to be honest when it comes to politics of Britain these days.
The days of the cloth cap for the worker and bowler hat for the City Gent have long gone.

Just look at the make up of the House of Commons and you will see multi millionaires lined up in all the major political parties.

You can rest assured that the rich people have their people in place whatever political party is in place!
Answered By: robert c - 4/8/2012
He is doing a great job on restoring the class divide his rich mates are cheering him on he is making sure they don't have to pay up. He is gone back to basic tory values the rich elite should keep the wealth the poor and sick should know there place. The worker in many tory minds should happily serve them for a few crumbs and be grateful and dock there caps and no way should have strong unions or put down tools.The disabled who can breath and lift a hand should be have there money halved and look for work or least be put through stupid interviews there a pain to a tory means more money spent therefore more tax. We have seen this since 2010 its sad how many people have been taken in by them i hope this is changing now the mask is dropping we need a decent grass roots opposition Labour needs to return to a easy to grasp working class party that's about justice and restoring the services for the many.

They've admitted the data is not true, yet they continue to post it. Why are they continuing to claim they've saved or created jobs in districts that don't even exist after it's been proven and they've admitted it's a lie? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jobs-saved-created-congressional-districts-exist/story?id=9097853 Dastardly, presenting information known to be false as true is lying, does this really need to be explained to you?

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!

I am in the process of planning my own wedding and I am having a fantastic time doing so. I have always enjoyed planning things: group vacations for my friends and I, road trips, etc... I could be described as a slight control freak and I am a perfectionist. I know I would exceed, and enjoy my career, if I were to make this a possibility. How do I do it? How do I get my name out there? How much do event planners charge for their services? I have a lot of questions, and hope that people who are self employed would be able to give me some pointers on getting my business up and running. Thank You in advance for your time and help.
