  1. http://today.yougov.co.uk/politics/latest-...ention-18-april How have the sun interpreted that? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...-poll-race.html
  2. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/poli...icle7100966.ece Love the last paragraph
  3. The way to fix our broken schools isn't more funding, it's to bring back corporal punishment. Aye, the schools were perfect back in the 70 and 80s.
  4. Download available now.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lnpi
  5. Disappointed with the lack of interest in his ageing, player of the season winning top scorer, Mike tried to generate some offers with a preposterous planted story.
  6. IE. A Politician. Some are more cuntish than others though. There was a very funny moment on 'The Bubble' recently when Robert Webb (who'd been locked away for days) was asked which politician he thought had been caught selling his influence and described himself as like a 'cab for hire'. After pondering just a second or two he got it spot on with Byers. You can just tell which of them are the slimiest, odious fuckers. Cameron and Osborne would be right up there.

  8. indeed. Shame I got so much flak for having to point it out so often to the misguided. Including you it would appear as you hav esaid you are reluctant to get into a dialogue with me for some strange reason when you say you agree with me ........ the question being, have you always agreed with me and if you have why didn't you say so at the time Except we hadn't finished in the top 5 in the 3 years before we even knew Ashley's name. Our average position was 11th in that time. Rose tinted specs to say it was a "joy" to watch the teams of Souness or Roeder. Not that that should get in the way of abusing the fat fuck like.
  9. The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past The horror! The horror!
  10. Heard that's good and saw it's available at the local DVD rental store. Do you need a strong stomach? I can handle it to a point (Taxi Driver, as an example), but have never been able to bring myself to watch the likes of Irreversible and the like. Can't handle sexual violence and the like. I thought i'd replied to this but it must not have worked. Most of the violence takes place off the screen and whatever is shown made me laugh more than squirm. Not in the same league as Irreversible for being stomach churning.
  11. they screen plenty of pro-muslim and anti west shite as fact. Msybe they are muslims , or muslim sympathisers like you Nice bump fella. Example?
  12. Posted it in the election thread mate http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=731754
  13. We've got the most stringent imigration rules in our history, introduced by Labour, what more would you do? Make an arbitrary cap like the tories propose, or force immigrants into the provinces like the Lib Dems suggest (another cap in effect)? How does that make any sense if there's a sepcialist job in a specific area that needs to be filled , and there are no suitable candidate from this country? 'Sorry but you're number 40,001 on our list....'. I suspect that the reason all the parties (including the Conservatives) are shying away from this issue is because we have no control over immigration from the EU any way, and all the sensible parties recognise how vital our continued membership is. From a personal point of view, I am fine with free travel in the EU from the traditional 'western countries', but I do have a major problem with our expansion into the Eastern block. The EU should consolidate immediately and forget about the likes of Turkey. I thought the football analogy used in response was an excellent answer. Stevie would be seething if someone who shone in the world cup couldn't sign for Newcastle because of an immigrant cap.
  14. GDP real growth rates for 2009.... Just noticed Poland are alone in the northern hemisphere for avoiding the crisis. The Polish leader was blatantly making the leaders of every other northern hemisphere nation look like idiots. He had to go.
  15. Errr it was the bankers and financiers that left the country in the state it's in. Who removed restrictions from the bankers Yeah let's ignore responsibility of the public who embraced the credit card/buy to let culture which was the real cause - easier to blame the government. If the government legalised theft then people would clear the shelves. You can't expect the public at large to restrain themselves when products are offered to them even though you might have the sense to. It's up to the government to regulate the banks so loans aren't available to EVERYONE whatever their circumstances. It's not the point, he's blaming Labour for the worldwide financial crisis, like banks are governable in one single territory. they're not. De-regulation happenned as a policy right across the West to various degress and especially America. Banks will bend the rules anyway and interantional banks are practiacally impossible to Govern unless there is agreeement across all of the G7. In fact the earrly success of Labours economic policies was due to letting the Bank of England have more say in settting interest rates and general governanace, you can't have it both ways. The Tories have been wrong about everything during this crisis and have changed their minds two or three times inc the bank bailout policy, settling debt later so as not to harm recovery etc etc...The slammed the Northern Rock thing and then changed their positon when the like of RBOS and Barclays (their traditional friends) started asking for cash as well. It seemed to be the point for NJS who said it was the responsibility of the public. I agree with you. But then it's the job of the leadership to challenge other leaders to make a change. In the two years since the crisis there's been no change in regulation, no-one has been jailed (the SEC launched a civil fraud complaint against a single Goldman employee yesterday), there hasn't been any discussion I've seen between the G7 on how to regulate against this in future, all they've discussed is how to refinance the banks to ensure their crimes go unpunished. Not that Cameron or Clegg would do anything different. I guess the point is the worldwide financial collapse shouldn't be debated in an election thread.

  17. We had loads of possession and attacking gusto but we never really had any clearcut shots on goal to make of it. Did well to keep pushing after going down to ten men but they always looked more composed and in control than us. Their keeper was excellent. Every ball into the box he judged right and punched/caught like an experienced goalie.

  19. He's on about the NHS IT / information system project that is billions over budget, even with the consultant (accenture?) bearing the brunt of much of the over-run. Been going on for about 8 years. Fucked up shit. I know what part of the modernisation stick he was using to beat on the government. But what does Clegg intend to do to cut beauraucracy? Start another IT project from scratch? Go back to the way it was before? Both would only increase waste. Neither would cut beauraucracy any more than the system being rolled out (slowly and over budget I agree). All major IT systems have teething trouble, and the accenture one was the biggest outside of the military.
  20. She died in Weatherfields, but lives on to fight the political fight. Someone tweeted.. I once went to Whitley Bay and I met Black man called Jonny Decka who told me he had no tabs of his own to smoke.
