True, it's as if people have become so accustomed to the lies & BS they wouldn't trust a straight politician if ever there was one.

What gets me is the shocking trend of outsourcing labour to places like China, this is rife both in the US and England. It's a real kick in the teeth for craftsmen and workers both sides of the atlantic.

Of course I don't buy the old 'we can't compete' baloney....it's just an excuse for more greed. British craftsmanship is world renowned, so too american craftsmen, some damn fine machine tools and other engineering related products came from the US in her day.

There is good things about the US which the world is going to miss, it's just rather ironic this globalism disease was born in the US. I suspect the good of america were sold down the river by the bad, now we're all paying the price.

I can think of two pee-takers in particular who must be laughing at the rest of us, one of them is slightly a Brit.
