Oh yeah, forgot Brown is our PM! For some reason I thought we were PM-less :P Wanna play swapsees? Even though Obama is still to prove his true potential.
Indeed, people are still being a bit OTT about the whole Obama sitatuion, he hasn't really done anything yet. He still has one up on Brown, and that is because he's a good speaker :PQuote:

if you read which quotes i quoted you will see i said "the other one" is welcome here so yah i wasn't talking bout obama :)Quote:

Lmao what government in the world doesn't steal tax payers money?! OH WAIT........Quote:

Edit to Buttons: I know he hasn't had much chance to do much yet, so why's everyone love him if he hasn't done anything? Because they're political idiots who know nothing about him just that he can speak well and that he's black which you'd think unusual for an American President.
I realised yeah that Obama doesn't care about Britain so I don't see why we all love him, he's attempting to ruin free trade.
Stealing tax payers money?! What? Look at our federal spending! Where do you think that money comes from? Taxpayers!Quote:

Bush was liked because he was a good speaker and other things but after a while he was hated for making crappy decisions so it'll happen to Obama next, even though I agree with what he's trying to do for health care not that it's even going to effect/bother me.Quote:

i was just making a joke lol.
and yeah, obama's cool.
We don't get them shows here so it's easy to make a slip.Quote:

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it the taxpayers money that helps you get your education and enables you to free medical support on the NHS? Now consider your opinion on how 'the government steals tax money'.Quote:

Yh if you earn up to like 2.4k you get 10% tax up to 37.4k its 20% and over that its 40%
Yeah well I wasn't referring to his mum was I?Quote:

It is free though, as long as she's a British Citizen she's entitled to Free Health Care whether she works or not. Being taxed is not 'paying', taxing is different to 'paying'. Tax is made in several more ways than just income tax, when you buy most things you usually pay VAT and if you don't have to pay VAT, the state still get some of your money as the business's profits will be taxed at the end of the year.Quote:

Do you not read the papers at all? A MP is using 1k of tax payers money to buy a bath for her home, if only 1k went torwards something else.Quote:
