GD4ELI Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 It seems like a boilerplate manifesto which you would see in Scotland, Wales, ... What's missing is how this will be acheived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 That was my view. Long on platitudinous aspirations short on the mechanics of delivery. I'm deliberately using the linguistic style it's been cobbled together in. In plain english, this is what we'd like, but we've no idea how. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Some way to go to achieve some of the claimed present statuses; let alone some of the targets? ETA for example, "financially responsible Govt"...DOI?! Edited January 10, 2017 by Non-Believer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarne Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah, there's a lot of stuff in there that's missing the last part of it. "We live longer, healthier lives" than Syria"We live our lives safe from crime and danger" and thus are shocked when we get burgled etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sausages Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Vague bullshit waffle worded in such a way that guarantees they'll be able to say "we met our targets". The sort of stuff a politician would write. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llap Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 At least it gives you all something to moan about, especially the failed politicians who post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 There is always an on point Shakespeare quote. I plump for Macbeth. it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellefield Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 so no plans then, just vague targets, and guess what? Howard Quayle will say, "look what we have achieved already, in my first six months...." he will honestly be congratulating himself on that piece of printed flatulence. , Howard, please tell us how you are going to deal with the pensions issue? I mean really deal with it, not resurrect an ineffective plan that wont stop the island from running out of money? I predict that they will panic, get rid of the work permit system to encourage more people to move over and pay taxes to pay for these pensions; introduce a huge home building program to house all the new workers including those new workers bought over to build the new homes, reduce benefits for those who can't work, and effectively turn it into a not so special place to live and work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
