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.

eu and fishing regulation enforcement? ...... don't make me laugh!
btw, you're decades wrong! ..... try mid 70s

Cynic,

Did you read the article?

just goes to show Osbourne backed by Cameron wrong again on austerity......

http://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-02-06/ifs-warning-on-economy/

Times running out for ................ Call me Dave.

Just a little C+P from above:

"Government 'to borrow £64 billion more' than planned
The Institute for Fiscal Studies said the Chancellor will borrow £64 billion more than intended during this parliament.

The increased figures is due to Osborne's original borrowing predictions being based on a more optimistic economic outlook. The IFS explain:

He will be borrowing £64 billion more in 2014-15 than he planned just two years ago. This is because he is choosing not to offset the forecast deterioration of £65 billion driven by a worse economic outlook. Announced policy measures will reduce borrowing by just £1 billion. As a result he is on course to miss his own target of debt falling in 2015.

Indeed he is now pursuing a looser policy than that permitted by the last government’s Fiscal Responsibility Act. Had he not repealed that legislation he would have been obliged to cut spending or increase taxes by around an additional £8 billion next year."

No wonder Cameron wants to go on trips abroad.

Party in disarray, country in disarray and Osborne in charge.

"The charge of the light brigade"

Judging by the standard of TANKER's English, surely he must be an illiterate immigrant.

Osbourne to go first then Cameron

They are soul mates or something like that!

'something like that' Fred.
Whatever... between the two of them they are in the process of reducing the Conservatives chances of being re elected at the next GE to nill. They will have to be removed from their positions to give the cons the slightest hope.

A good team.

They must be representing the local blind school.

Do you normally get your news from a comic?

No, he gets it from his local's party at closing time!

stafford hospital got away with killing people because
above posts tell you why .

I don't read the daily mail but I gather from comments made in response to TANKER's postings that we should take the daily mail's comments with a large dose of salts.
If I was a Romanian or a Bulgarian and I wanted the best for my family it would appear to be a no brainer, get to Britain.

Euro MPs back large-scale fishing reform to save stocks

The European Parliament has voted for sweeping reforms of the controversial EU Common Fisheries Policy.

The package includes measures to protect endangered stocks and end discards - the practice of throwing unwanted dead fish into the sea.

Wasteful discards are reckoned to account for a quarter of total catches under the current quota system.

There are hopes that the changes can become law by next year, after more talks with the 27 EU governments.

Sensible.

the spanish especially have never paid the slightest attention to this sort of stuff, but they are from being the only ones ....... it's not just the quotas, but the methods - e.g. beam trawlers that complete destroy the ocean bed and turn it into a desert
