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.

You are up early for a Sunday.

(Are you saying I should check my medication?)
-------------------

I like a good story line.

(I can see where Jeffrey Archer got his plots from.

Perhaps, he was reflecting on those around him.)

Mind, it is difficult not to comment, when the "your" party manages to spread itself across the media, especially after their crowing before the last election.

Perhaps, it is Murdoch’s revenge.

(Didn’t he visit by the back door?)

Skinny,

Which kitchen are the drip pans from?

Chinese Water Torture.

Workers Revolutionary Party

Leaving the Labour Party, the WRP formed the All Trade Unions Alliance, which it wholly controlled. Among its best known policies was the immediate replacement of the police by a workers militia.[1] The party slowly lost members, but one or two member's still meet up for a pie and a pint in the Birmingham area, and can also be seen posting their class war rambling's on Moneyam .

N,

I getting worried.

I think you are catching on.

Bit like mantras.

But we were promised a leader and government which could walk on water!

This lot can even float.

The New Submerged Party is evolving, which blames everybody else for their demise.

--------------

No wonder Scotland are going to have referendum.

-----------------

Sorry Alds,

Missed you.

Are you proud of your government and its actions?

Sorry latest u-turn of policies.

Back to the Kitchen for another flip flop.

By the way "we are all in it together".

Banks are planning to delay payment of bonuses in order to take advantage of the new 45p tax band announced in the Budget. The plans would see awards covering recent years – due to be paid in March next year – being delayed until April when the 50p top rate of income tax will end. Banks have been paying about £7bn in bonuses every year, but since 2009 they have held back about 40% of the annual payout amid criticism that bankers were getting bonuses for deals that eventually turned sour. Experts say deferred bonuses scheduled to be paid next year are running in ‘the low billions of pounds’, meaning the delay could save bankers about £100m in income tax, The Financial Mail on Sunday says. "

Very sensiible. Always better to minimize tax payable. The rate will be coming back down to 40% soon.

Especially when the cost of a dinner in London is so high nowadays.

Even 40% tax is far too much. Everyone should be on the same rate. Higher earners pay more tax because they earn more. I can't see the reason why the rate should rise with the level of pay. It would be like paying higher VAT on products that cost more.

Instead of looking try thinking.

“Cameron criticises Peter Cruddas for donor boast

Prime Minister David Cameron has denounced the party's former treasurer for boasting that a big enough donation could lead to high-level access.”>
==================================

It strikes me that Cameron as PM and party leader should know what “business” deals his treasurer is doing for him and the party.

If he didn’t know he is culpable of the lack of management skill, stupidity and naivety.

If I was sitting at a table with “strange faces” in a 10 Downing Street Cafe, I would wonder why and how the “visitor” came to be there.

If he did know about the “negotiations” being carried on, for me it smacks of misuse of position and corruption,

In either case I would not consider the barrow boy fit for his job.

PS.

Hays,

However, he may be a present day tory icon.

You know I know and the whole world knows that Cameron either knew what was going or is a feckin idiot Fred.

Take your pick but I don't believe for one minute he's an idiot ... proving he's not an idiot is the key.

May I propose that this thread is renamed "Fred's Thread" - then at least we'll all know what we're in for.

Fred and Stan had their own thread , but they ended up talking to one another.

Alds,

You are rampant this morning.

Another hilarious posting with insight.

=================

What the "revelations" point to is a form of possible corruption right at the top of government.

If the leadership is rotten, so often is the government.


I think to varying degrees the reveal practices have been prevalent through governments throughout history, but Cameron and this government suggested that they would be "clean".

I would hope that they would practice what they preach.

------------------------

One other suggestion is for them and all MPs is to reveal their tax arrangements for the last 5 years.
