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.

TANKER - totally agree with you, what an utter waste of money. Leveson was eating out of Blair's hand yesterday, it was appalling.

How can the Leverson inquiry be an utter waste of money.
In these days of high unemployment, this inquiry is keeping several hundred people in gainful (to them anyway) employment, including no doubt several highly paid barristers, advisers, legal dogs bodies and a Judge.
Also a couple of hundred Police Officers, security personnel and a couple of tea ladies.
On a serious note.
This inquiry is costing the Met £4 million, compare that to the £36 Million that is allocated to child abuse for 1 year, and you can see that the high ranking Met Officer (forget the name) who wanted to call a halt months ago was right.
This inquiry should have had a limit on cost and time, so that once sufficient evidence was found for these charges, that should have been it with any further hackies (new term for someone who has been hacked) having to take civil action.
Also, does anyone else just switch off, when they see or hear the name Levinson?
I never thought anything could be more boring than the Euro vision song contest.
The Levison inquiry, makes the song contest almost gripping, mind you so does watching paint dry.

Leveson takes about 30 minutes to say what could be explained in five minutes - he's worse than watching paint dry. What is he getting paid for all this?

A London Underground passenger has been jailed for 21 weeks after she admitted hurling racist abuse at fellow passengers.
Jacqueline Woodhouse, 42, of Romford, east London, directed an expletive-ridden rant at Tube passengers on the Central line on 23 January.
Does this call for a prison sentence ? how many times do you hear drunk's shouting out abuse, and the Police go over to them and give them a warning , or they end up over night in the cell's . She wasn't threatening to assault anyone i don't think.

Maybe a 'less expensive', but still effective option, would be a hundred hours of community service - cleaning graffiti or similar.
Video clip
Woodhouse, who is on benefits after losing her job as a secretary, admitted causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress to the man who filmed her on his phone, Galbant Juttla, at a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court earlier this month.
Today, at the same court, District Judge Michael Snow told Woodhouse, from Romford, Essex, that anyone viewing the video 'would feel a deep sense of shame that our citizens could be subject to such behaviour who may, as a consequence, believe that it secretly represents the views of other white people'.

Let the sentence of Woodhouse be a lesson to those of you who have hinted in the past that us Yorkshire-men have an unhealthy fondness for sheep and wellington boots.
Insults like that must warrant at least a couple of years locked up!

Skinny,
OK, thats it, I am deeply hurt. In fact the effect your comment had on me could mean a few grand at least.
In fact I am now traumatized and probably going to suffer some sort of PTSD.
I have contacted MoneyAm to obtain your name and address, so you should receive a letter from my solicitor (fees paid for via legal aid of course) requesting a large monetary sum for hurt feelings, etc.
Mind you its not the money, its the principle!
Note........Do you have cover for civil actions on your house insurance.
If so we could screw the system for a few grand and if you admit to the error of your ways, we could split the cash 90/10 (I am a Yorkshire-man remember).
By the way, I'm not into goats, thats just perverse!
