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.

TANKS - an interesting one that, having totally disregarded your usual rant about Islam wanting to take over the world ..... i don't care for Facebook (or other social media networks for that matter) - i think it's very dangerous for many reasons ..... however, it is a very fine line between freedom of expression and inciting hatred or similar.

i get the feeling that Martos has tilted towards incitement rather than staying with straight factual journalism .... had he exercised some prudent editing, then the point would still have been made without crossing the line

CAMERON ON ANDREW MARR now
what a bloody fool and a idiot the man as destroyd my party of 44 years voting tory

he is a liar and a dishonest

cynic have you seen the pictures of the crime it is terrible
the world needs to wake up

no one is denying the act is terrible, but you miss the point (as usual)

The view from the Coalition:-

Handset makers scurry to join Year of the Phablet

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG | Mon Jan 7, 2013 3:24am GMT

(Reuters) - Call it phablet, phonelet, tweener or super smartphone, but the clunky mobile phone - closer in size to a tablet than the smartphone of a couple of years back - is here to stay.

A surprise hit of 2012, it is drawing in more users, more handset makers and is shaping the way we consume content.

"We expect 2013 to be the Year of the Phablet," said Neil Mawston, UK-based executive director of Strategy Analytics' global wireless practice.

While Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has blazed a trail with its once-mocked Galaxy Note devices, now other manufacturers are scurrying to catch up.

At this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Chinese telecommunications giants ZTE Corp and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd will launch their own.

cynic you say your family came from poland .
well take a look at the pictures from nigeria

Gas boss forced out with a golden goodbye: As families face ever-rising bills, energy chief is walking away with up to £13m

The boss of an energy giant that has doubled its prices in just seven years could pocket a £13million payoff.

Phil Bentley, who is to leave British Gas within months, has presided over above-inflation hikes that have pushed average bills past £1,300 a year.

The latest punishing rise of 6 per cent comes as millions endure the greatest squeeze on living standards since the 1920s.

Hi Skinny,

It winds me up as well, but nothing will be done as thats the way of this rip off country.

it's not "rip off country" but plc boards ensuring that their top management is obese for life

We're doomed! Humans may transform into hobbits as global warming takes hold

Dear john,

This morning, we launched a poster campaign to coincide with a crucial vote that's happening in Parliament. Today, Labour will vote against capping benefits at 1% for the next 3 years - a double blow to the taxpayer who has to foot the bill.






Under Labour, our welfare system spiralled out of control with the welfare bill rising by 60%, costing every household in Britain an extra £3000 a year.





In the last 5 years, those on out of work benefits have seen their incomes rise almost twice as fast as people in work - at a rate of 20% compared to an increase in average earnings of only 12%.


For Conservatives, this vote is about fairness. Why should the taxpayer pay more to sustain welfare payments while at the same time earning less?



Conservative Party poster timed to coincide with today's vote

Labour vote time and again against everything this government is doing to get welfare spending under control. But they don't say how they would pay for all this. By voting against our measures, Labour's Ed Balls would clearly be happy with more borrowing to pay the welfare bill - this would saddle every working household in the UK with almost £5000 of extra national debt.
just got this e mail from IDS I A GREE 100% CUT BENEFITS BUT ALSO KICK OUT THE IMMIGRANTS WE DO NOT WANT THEM FILLING THE HOSPITALS WITH TB A ND ALLL SORTS OF NASTIES HAVE E MAILED IDS IF YOU WANT OUR VOTES DO THIS AND YOU WILL GET BACK IN

put all unemployed to work cleaning the uk up clearing the rail lines paths and walk ways . cleaning of grafiti and helping in care homes .
get the lazy sods out of bed after 12 months on the dole
cut family allowamce to two kids only
it is only the low life having more than two kids
it as got to stop.

Tanker,

I wonder where you are on the evolutionary scale?




I feel sorry for some mothers.

fred not a BEGGAR only low life need to beg

12 months on the dole then put to work that is the solution not pity

Although coming across, perhaps a little extreme, i like your thinking Tanks!
The country has gone to the dogs because of its welfare set-up... breeds a lazy workforce and has done so for decades... its far too ingrained now to be changed.

The problem is, no-one realises the UK is basically bust. Its only for the fact of rolling over debt that it survives at all...

I live in a country with no benefits. I see what happens when someone loses a job, they will do anything and everything to be able to put food on the table. Is it a good thing? I'm not saying it is, because its basic poverty. the point is, there should be a happy medium. People have been flocking to the UK for years because its widely known the government will take care of you and you won't have to lift a finger to have a decent lifestyle. Its part of the reason i chose to move away, it makes me sick...

daval thank you for common sense the uk is full of lazy sods give them 12 months then put them to work for the benefits and no more most will soon be looking to find a job .
AS FOR PEOPLE NEEDING CARE IN OLD AGE THE GOV SHOULD GIVE THEVOTERS A
CHANCE TO VOTE TO INCREASE TAX BY SAY 3P TO BE RING FENCED TO PAY FOR CARE
