I run a small company (10 staff) and on average we have 5 or 6 fuck ups a week.

We're told inflation is well under control but tell that to someone trying to buy a flat. Then we find out house prices aren't included in the inflation figures. Why not ? When they say crime is down, unemployment down, the NHS is providing a better service etc. what stats are they hiding ?<br /><br />And that's before you even start thinking about the obvious outright lies - the billions spent in Iraq 'cos Blair figures God's on his side so he can sell us (and Parliament) the invasion on WMD's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916651228966715021.post-63654275399096072712007-01-04T11:56:00.000+00:002007-01-04T11:56:00.000+00:00Don't think you are really thinking about this ver...Don't think you are really thinking about this very clearly, what would the alternatives be?
