Right... so the country is in massive debt, we have lots of tax on everything (Tony you have mssed taxing the air by the way), a party that runs on spin, declared war on motorists (not noticed the war on crime effecting violent crime) and has disgruntled unions (fire, transport and others).
So what do the Government do?

So what do the Government do?
Taken from the BBC News website:
The UK has begun the process of mobilising a reservist force in preparation for possible war with Iraq, defence secretary Geoff Hoon is to announce.
Employers are to be consulted, but no deadline will be set for the mobilisation.
Hoon: Will not confirm numbers of reservists needed
Last week, Mr Hoon confirmed that Britain had received a request for troops from the United States.
BBC defence correspondent Paul Adams said American war preparations had been fairly conspicuous, compared to the British Government's reticence.
Hostilities - if they occur - are believed to be most likely to start in January or February.
Depending on the size of any British force, thousands of reservists will be needed, either for operational duties or for what's known as back-filling - taking over duties from units that have been sent abroad.
Alleged weapons
In the course of a Commons debate on Monday, the government is to announce it has begun the process of consulting employers.
Defence sources say Mr Hoon will not be drawn into numbers, or say when reservists will actually receive their call-up papers.
Iraq has until 8 December to disclose details of its alleged weapons of mass destruction.
But political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic do not anticipate receiving a truthful account.
However, service chiefs have long complained about UK troops being overstretched.
Last week, Admiral Sir Michael Boyce, chief of the defence staff, raised concerns about shortage of manpower.
He said the pressure of providing army personnel to provide emergency cover during the ongoing firefighter's strike would cause "extreme difficulty".
Mr Hoon insisted Sir Michael had explained the services would be able to manage many different commitments.

Doesn't matter what I think of the fire fighters or their demands.
I think Tony should look at the troubles in this country, some of which are as a direct result of him and sort them out before he goes and spends a small fortune fighting a war that will only cause long-term trouble in the world and cost us a fortune.
Two examples of Tony's actual spending and propsed:
The Dome - that was a good investment.
Air Force 1 (GB) for him - leased from BA and outfitted to "counter all varieties of attack". (Thankfully shelved)
Now without the Dome otherwise known as "The Black Hole of Public Money" we could have had a few hospitals fully staffed, more Police and happy Fire fighters...

Unfortunately, his "bigger *****" are dangling in front of his eyes... They complete the set of the thing sticking out of his forehead.
MPS - whatever payrise we want "because we're worth it".
Hypocritical in the extreme. Sorry, don't have much time for this smarmy git as you may be able to tell.
Opposition's just as bad tho
