    The narrative used to be the NWO-Lizard men were using TV to brain-wash the sheeple to spend spend spend.

    When did this all change?

    Check this out.

    From Sky News today.
    http://news.sky.com/story/978184/nick-clegg-wants-super-rich-to-pay-more-tax

    A "warning" from George Osborne.

    "George Osborne has warned against driving away the wealthy after Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg called for a temporary tax on the rich.
    The Chancellor said he had already taken steps to ensure the UK's highest earners pay more but insisted it was vital to hang on to entrepreneurs who would fuel the economic recovery.
    Mr Clegg has called for those of "very considerable" wealth to contribute more to turning around Britain's financial fortunes.
    But during a visit to Sunderland, the Chancellor said: "I am clear that the wealthy should pay more which is why in the recent budget I increased the tax on very expensive property transactions.
    "But we also have to be careful as a country we don't drive away the wealth creators and the businesses that are going to lead our economic recovery."
    :rolleyes:

    If you watch the video in the link there, they even wheel out an "expert" from the Institute of Economic Affairs at the end to pour scorn on the horrid idea.
    What a crock!

    errr , didnt read all the responses.
    but i can confirm that superscrimpers is a bag of shyte!
    about 6 years behind where the average savvy person is with such hidden gems as "check your getting the best deal from your ISP/mobile/etc provider!!
    or this classic "make sure you dont go over your weight allowance on a flight"
    mrs moneypenny really is getting hers for little :)
    and as for those fecking eejits who make their own shoes and god knows what else , deary me :(
    the sticky back sellotape in the craftshop would cost more than the clothes you get in the reduced aisle of tesco.

    waste of time of a show, nothing to learn here

    as with all these prime time television shows, they aren't about imparting useful information, they're about that smug sense of superiority you get from looking at freaks and incompetents.
    sad really

    I didn't really notice either way or do I care.

    So apart from this TV program exactly who is telling you to save save save? I think you are imagining it, filling in your own blanks as it were.

    Channel 0's last post is about George Osbourne wanting to encourage the wealthy to stay in the UK. Is this to encourage them to save save save save aswell?

    Anyway I thought all the CT'ers would love all that making your own shoes stuff for when the end-times come.

    So your only insight is "What a crock"? Presumably there's a point you're trying to make here?

    I made it in a previous post. This was an example. If you had read the entire thread, you would have noticed that.

    One other point. Back as far as 2001 and 2002 the Irish Government were actively encouraging people to save. The existence of the SSIA accounts prove this. They were designed dampen inflation and boost the economy in 2006 and 2007 since there were already signs of the weakening construction sector.

    In 2006 when the SSIA's were maturing the government again were encouraging saving: http://www.finfacts.com/irelandbusinessnews/publish/printer_1000article_10006694.shtml

    Looks like the spend, spend, spend was in your imagination, and even when sleeping it's quite possible to make nonsense of your post. :-)

    I think that is well compensated for by advertising which you are forced to watch even if you pay for RTE's budget.

    not really, but i'm sure that you're here to reaffirm your denial ...

    well that would be wrong, and since we've established a precedence, we can assume that most of what you say will be nonsense ...

    really? wasn't that so that they could spend spend spend? you know banks needed money to give 100% mortgages ...

    really? did they redo the ssia? or did they tell everyone to buy a house? but i guess one link proves your point conclusively ... even if was about investing in pensions and not actual saving, but it's all the same right? ;)

    No it was to take money out of the economy. It was anticipated that only 37% of the money would return into the economy. It seems that 55% of people continued saving. Second highest was debt repayment and last was actually spending it on other items.
