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.

"He said, however, that his country's net contributions would rise - but by less than had been feared. He called it a "good deal" for Britain."
He is a barrow boy at best and a con artist at his worst.

Hay,
I believe the enquiry into Staffs Hospital started under labour.

I have found a bit about it in the BBC website.
"David Cameron has always insisted that Britain's EU rebate was non negotiable. Nevertheless the value of it has been falling thanks to the last budget deal done by Tony Blair."

It seems non of these companies are testing batches before they are put on the shelves. The stores are as guilty as the suppliers. Very disgusting all of it. How long do you ask has this been going on, as I'm sure the stores have no idea.

Cameron is boasting about Pyrrhic victory, which hasn't been approved as yet.
Garbage for the tory right wingers.
==================
"How could Britain opine on the next seven-year budget, asked Mr Shulz, when it might not even be a member of the EU by the end of it? For good measure he attacked George Osborne, the UK chancellor, for saying (in Mr Shulz's version of what was presumably a private conversation at the Davos economic forum) that he cared less about what the EU committed itself to spend than he did about what the UK actually had to cough up.
Casting doubt over whether the European Parliament would actually approve a trimmed budget once the national leaders signed off on it, the president implied that its members might come under such pressure to do so that they should be allowed to vote in secret."

We are paying more because Blair gave away a lot of our rebate. Do make an attempt to read the whole story instead of just the Guardian headlines (or is it Socialist Worker).

Fred - it is YOU who say it was a Pyrrhic victory, which rather indicates that you have no idea what it means .... however, the extent and reality of any "victory" will only be possible to judge once the disreputable mob in the eu parliament have had a hack and kick about, and ultimately voted ..... until that time, only the empty vessels will see fit to make much deprecatory noise

Cynic,
As per usual a prat like remark which one is coming to expect from you.

Analyse, what he might gain against what he has probably lost.
Cameron and those of his ilk are as having to to fall back on falsities. (Pity it wasn't their swords.) Burt the pattern of behaviour is now very common with this U-turn cabinet, who are making hollow policies seemingly on the hoof in attempts to appear populist, but appealing more more to a minority of the country. Short term gain for long term loss.
Notice how some preach "democracy" to others, but when is comes to the secret ballot, which in previous times "demanded" no prefer coercion.
This moral codes of this group of spine less "old boys" stinks more and more.

typical empty vessel noise from fred; all huff and puff and anti anything and everything the present government might have achieved - or not as the case may be .... and this from the champion democrat who can't be bothered to cast a vote, thereby believing he has retained his right to be universally disparaging and destructive.
if fred is so damn clever with at least a good percentage of right answers, why doesn't he stand for at least his parish council, so he can be publicly judged?

Hays and Cynic,
Two ignoramuses clubbing together in search of their brain.
The above is praising both of you two much.
Look at the person, rather responding as children in the school yard.
You know the tories are doomed in the next election. Doomed!
So split, and concentrating on outdated economics they won't get any support.
Even Aschroft that little islander is wishing he had supported the "Party" with its intellectually impoverish leadership.
================
Back to something more important.
Wales beating France.
I hope.

you clearly fancy yourself as brain of britain, or at least infinitely superior to us poor plebs .... so did you consider that the labour party made such a good fist of things that they should have been re-elected? ..... clearly not, or did you just feel it was really far too infra dig to go to cast your vote?
while the coalition may lack outstanding personalities, as most assuredly does the party opposite, the inheritance was always going to be a poisoned chalice .... i think the policy of austerity, nasty medicine as it might be, was absolutely the right course if disaster was to be averted ..... the labour party's idea of dribbling the medicine would never have brought the required result, and i think (can't prove) that such a course would have been truly horrible ..... both france and germany like to pretend that they are not in a terrible mess, when clearly the truth is otherwise.
with regard to the latest eu negotiations, only time will tell whether or not the perpetually increasing eu budget has at long last been halted ..... certainly the labour party never had the courage or perhaps intent even to grasp that nettle ..... of course the real sub-plot is to set the scenario for a referendum (good job says i) on whether or not uk should remain within eu .... for myself, i am currently ambivalent on the issue, but i shall listen to sides and then make up my mind and VOTE!
