'I'll think about that tomorrow'

So Scarlett O'Hara said in that smashing old film 'Gone with the Wind'. Well I've just watched Chancellor Alistair Darling saying the same thing in a BBC interview, whilst trying to explain the quite miserable decision to abolish the 10p tax rate. (I'll provide a link to the video, but I have to say that I only made it half way through)
I honestly can't believe this is the Labour party that my dear Nana encouraged me to vote for all those years ago when I turned 18.
Don't these bloody idiots understand, that 5.4 million people on low wages, will all of a sudden have their taxes DOUBLED?? I'm sure they'd deny it, but lets be clear about this, the Chancellor has lowered the main rate of tax too 20p in the pound, and if you are on the 10p band that will be abolished and you will pay 20p. That's double in my book, and they want people to come off benefits and work?? What a joke that is!
Some of these people exist from day to day, and what Mr Darling will look on as only a few pounds extra will be the tipping point for so many people. We all have higher fuel, utillity, and council tax bills, food is becoming more expensive, but lets face it, the more money you have the easier you can adapt your budget, when you have no more money you can't.
There is talk about quite a few Labour MP's rebelling in Parliament about this, and I hope they do. It will be about bloody time the Labour Party stood up for the one reason they we're formed in the first place, and which they have so disgustingly forgotten.... to defend the ordinary working
man.
The Labour Party sold their soul for power, and I'm glad my Nana didn't live to see it.

Well it worked!

The lads got a win at Castleford 32-12. I saw a lot of things to be optimistic about, lets hope we can carry it forward. As you may have gathered, I'm a bit sentimental, and like most people certain songs mean certain things (like the lucky charm ones in my last post) Well at the end of the TV coverage last night they played this song. I have to wonder if a closet Hull FC fan is on the staff at Sky, as the chorus just fits us at the moment.
'Hold on tight,
you have the music in you,
Don't let go,
you have the music in you'

We have still got the music in us, so shut the hell up all you knockers and get behind the lads!
(And yes, I am too sentimental for my own good!)

The New Radicals- You get what you give.

Pulling out all the lucky charm stops!

Hull FC play Castleford tomorrow night. If they loose they will go bottom of Superleague.
Forgive me while I pull out my personal musical good luck charms:
Old Faithful:


And yes its that bad, I have to get this one out:
Five - Keep on Moving.


Kasabian - Club Foot. They used to play this before the team came out at games.


There, that should do the trick!
Come on you Hulllaaaahhh!

Starting to worry.

Much to many a Rovers fans delight, Hull FC lost again last night. We are now on 2 wins out of 10. I have to say that I'm getting a bit worried now.
I have said on this blog before that I have always been for Coach Peter Sharp to be given a fair crack of the whip. But I have to say that if we loose away at Castleford next weekend he could well be on the plane back to Sydney sooner rather than later.
For people who don't really know RL, a lot of folk compare us to Newcastle United. Play in Black & White, a great tradition, mad fans, and not doing as well as we would like.
Well I guess it's never dull supporting Hull! :)
