Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Nick Ferrari's Listeners Budget: In Full

http://www.lbc.co.uk/nick-ferraris-listeners-budget-in-full-52512

What I have become more and more fed up with is political liars of all shades.

When you look at the present government by Cameron, Osborne, and cohorts such as Clegg, Lansley and co. is that to me they not only seem to me, to be incompetent at their functions, but also are incompetent liars and this is becoming more and more obvious to the public due to media exposure.

The necessity to try and sell (PR) unpleasant policies by glossing them up is more the action of political spivs than leaders.

This with u-turn after u-turn is producing an apathetic public and disillusionment and complete loss of respect for government.
====================

But I suppose you get what is voted for and not for what you paid.

Ps.

I think the present government with its leadership have taken opinion of goverment to a new low.

come on all you wonderful poitical pundits .... what would YOU all have done?

it's very easy being an armchair critic, especially without putting forward alternative suggestions, let alone live with the aftermath.
the coalition (tories) picked up something of a poisoned chalice, and imo, i think they've done a pretty good job considering the dire circumstances in which the country was placed by the previous bunch .... and yes, i accept that was not 100% their fault either

I am pretty happy with all of the budget. The louder Fred, the unions and the Labour whine and winge the more convinced that the budget was spot on.

I guess they are trying to rationalise, that by first giving the pensioners a pension rise before the Budget, it was then OK to start taking it off them again with some Budget taxation changes and adjustments.

Lots of pensioners are missing the first bit.

Lots of opposition (both pensioners and political oppostion) are not missing the last bit.

Such is politics.

All the pensioners get the 5% rise. The change to the age related allowance is less than their increase. In fact the gradually rising general tax allowance is due to overtake the age related allowance and effectively wipe it out anyway. No pensioners are worse off as a result of the budget. Thr pension rise was the biggest that that there has ever been. This was done to allow for the gradual reduction in the age related allowance.

The french police have shot dead that bastard in toulouse but has anybody spotted that the numberplate on the polo volkswagen parked outside is "AD 911"...coincidence or deliberate ?.....might be careful....

Hay,
George Carlin does not understand that capital punishment prevents people to become drug dealers.

So, his arguments are wrong, but funny enough to be sold to some.

all drug dealers should be hung no exception

That's funny ; there was an al-Qaeda personalised numberplate parked outside that flat in toulouse.....no mention anywhere...false alert presumably...

Thanker,

Agreed if you talk about major drug dealers and those who support them.... even if it is a high ranking guy. But those who are trapped should be offered help to get back their life.

The same for criminals, like Abu Hamza. Unfortunately, based on Human Right Act, his life is more important than the life of 65 million people in this country!!!! IN some cases, the Human Right Act is misused by criminals. Human Right should be rewritten to support humans no criminals.

People like Abu Hamza stimulate hate which result in fundamentalist ideas to propagate fast amongst less educated and poor. It is very likely that the guy in Paris has been motivated by people like Abu Hamza.
