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.

can't be bothered to look back through the usual blather, but all you armchair critics have probably nothing constructive and workable to suggest anyway..... FT reckoned (i think) that though the statement wsa not magic, it left labour having to work hard to criticise with any credibility

Walking tightrope on deficit
The best that can be said for the Autumn Statement is that the chancellor has stopped digging the hole he inherited, while offering more bitter medicine

Time to use room for manoeuvre
To claim that events beyond government control are to blame for economic outcomes is specious, writes Martin Wolf

Chancellor makes best of bad job
Hardly a triumph this time and there may be worse to come but Labour has been left scratching its head, writes Janan Ganesh

take your pick

.

so freds kids are on benefits .

So if not The Daily Mail Tanks, It must be the Daily Express then?

N,

Agree with your sentiment!

(I have c+P it for future reference against you. 8-))

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

But don't panic, don't panic.

Tinker,

If all the immigrants leave.

All the benefit scroungers (as defined by you) die of Tb, infectious diseases, drug overdoses, or too much sex, which group will be left to justify your existence against?

You never can tell, but your next pint may be your last. Don't drink it too quickly,

Biggest mistake the Labour Party made was electing the wrong brother as leader. Ed is a dead ringer for Wallace and no balls Balls is a natural Grommett. The Labour Party are fxxxxd, dead and buried. Deal with it Fred.

fred going out to the pub in 35 mins for a few pints and a meal .
and not on the tax payers

guess that'll get you pissed and even more preposterous on your return then

The road, or pavement you "float" along, will probably belongs indirectly to the tax payer.

If you end up in A&E, unfortunately the person stitching you up will be paid by the tax payer.

The old lady who will see you across the road may be on benefits.

But as an ex-mortician, maybe I would work for you for nothing.

Look at the bottom of the glass and see the reflections.

He's a card isn't he Fred?

CC, that sums it up.lol

A bit like the Queen of Spades in a bad hand!

Oh no, I can visualise him in drag.

Ugggggggggggggggggggggggggg
-----------------------

that's just be one of your great uneducated unwashed on benefits whom you regularly champion

The caring Conservatives (sic) are at it again by the looks of things http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/posts.php?tid=15824#lastread

CC to the blunt point as usual. I wish I could agree with you that the Labour Party is F+++++, dead and buried, but sadly this isn't the case. Despite the fact that Milliband and Balls are both complete tossers the Labour Party still has a large following in this country and if we had a General Election tomorrow I very much doubt that the Conservatives would have an outright majority.

One common thing about "Caring Conservatives" is that they just can't stop blaming other people for there own Tory shortcomings.

I thought that was a Labour tactic.

Doodles.

The Con party is split into so many splinter self interest groups that you can't list them.

The john redwood brigade, the Cash brigade, the 5th columnists, the UKIP and of course the BNP and the blue rinse Maggie brigade.

I would suspect, at the time of the next election, many prominent Libs may try to save their necks by swimming in the same mire which is being created by the present coalition with some tories.

As far as tossers are concerned I would think this Old Etonian tory party will be famous for that description.

Hays,

I find it amusing that Tories are blaming "world economic" situations for their present mistakes, while previously saying all the previous economic problems were down to the previous governments mismanagement.

Mind the way the Cameroon is licking up to the press barons, he could have expected a better press than he is getting.

Again you shouldn't expect somebody you are bribing to support you when the price isn't right, or what they expected.
