THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Referring back to Vince Cable remarks, thinks he is preparing for after the break up the coalition and pointing to the electorate that the failed policies were down to tory policies and not liberal actions and that his arguments were dismissed.

He doesn't want to be blamed for failure.

Can even see the Alexander deserting to the remnants of the tories at the time of the next election.

If a marriage contract had to renewed yearly, I wonder how many marriages would last more than a couple of years?

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

A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"

Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."

I wonder what the Mother would have said if the Little Boy had asked her!! mmmm.

Fred1new - 07 Mar 2013 18:14 - 22173 of 81564

A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:

"Husband Wanted".

Next day she received a hundred letters.

They all said the same thing:
"You can have mine."
====================

or


First guy says, "My wife's an angel!"

Second guy remarks, "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

Better stop in case my wife asks why I am still smiling.

May be he has just been fed and needs a pat on the back! I did say fed and not fred!

Looks like he is balancing 3 books. Keep them up man. :-))

Ed Milibsnd has found new ways to tell porkies. At a speech to the Jewish Board of Deputies he declared that he was a Zionist. This had been reported widely in the Israeli media, both in papers and on TV. This from Haaretz

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/the-man-who-could-be-u-k-s-first-jewish-pm-says-he-is-a-zionist.premium-1.508050

Now this morning, Labour contest acts this. In the Telegraph this morning.


"Ed Miliband's Zionism lasted less than 24 hours."

"As I suspected, Ed Miliband is no longer a Zionist. According to the Labour leader’s office, his comments at last night’s Board of Deputies event were misinterpreted."

Fred1new - 08 Mar 2013 18:04 - 22181 of 81564

Interesting that Cameron has being telling porkies in prepared speech.

He hasn't contested it.

Lied over the NHS, lied over the economy.

Lied!

Doesn't say much for his team of advisers.

Haystack - 08 Mar 2013 18:14 - 22182 of 81564

Not so. He has contested it. What is reported in the press is not quite accurate. Cameron said that the OBR did not think that austerity was the cause of the weakened economy. They have confirmed that by saying that other factors more likely explanarptions. Cable just said on Sky News that Cameron was right and it was other factors than austerity.

This is what the OBR said.

"To summarise, we believe that fiscal consolidation measures have reduced economic growth over the past couple of years."

But the OBR also said that it believed other factors, such as inflation, the weak global economy and the financial crisis, were "more likely explanations" for the fact that growth has been weaker than had been forecast at the end of 2010.

generally speaking, everything that fred says is lies - whoops! sorry; distorted to left-wing reflection (or is that sycophancy?), though of course he prefers sitting on his arse to putting a cross in a box (now there's a good holiday destination for him)

skinny - 09 Mar 2013 07:00 - 22184 of 81564

This is interesting.

Cynic and Hays,

Like many others I think you must be sad little men and deserve each other and can see why you are clingers on to the Nasty Party’s fascist ideology.

The tory party are in need of all the help it can get, even yours, but I would suggest to them that they watch their backs.

I suggest you notice that over the next few months Cameron and Osborne swerve again, and introduce more economic boosting, by putting “cash” into the “infrastructure”, “capital expenditure” etc..

(How they dressed this up will be interesting and probably laughable. )

This will of course come too late to save the tory’s bacon at the next election and will of course lead to more splits in the tory membership, leading to fragmentation and splitting of the party, with the more fascist elements joining UKIP.

Read, this morning coalition splits are again showing with more Lib/Dems wanting to separate themselves from the “Nasty party” and introduce more positive and socially acceptable policies.

I must admit that Vince Cable seems to have more economic sense in his little finger than Cameron and Georgie Boy have in their combine bodies.

Hear the cry is going up again, for replacement of Osborne and Cameron. I did suggest Cynic and Hays, but there were no takers.

Fred1new - 09 Mar 2013 10:27 - 22186 of 81564

Cameron does look more and more like a used condom,

Haystack - 09 Mar 2013 10:34 - 22187 of 81564

Fred
Firstly, my names NOT hays.


Vince has been more extreme in his views today. He said that the NHS should not be ring fenced and immune from cuts. Secondly, he amazingly said that pensioners benefits should be taxed. That is not exactly a vote winner.

He has repeatedly said (including yesterday) that Osborne and Cameron were pursuing the correct policies.

Fred1new - 09 Mar 2013 10:37 - 22188 of 81564

Hays,

My names not Fred either.

Watchdog contradicts Cameron on impact of austerity on growth

David Cameron has become involved in a dispute with the Office for Budget Responsibility about the impact of austerity measures on economic growth.

In a speech on the economy on Thursday, the prime minister said the independent watchdog had made it "absolutely clear" that spending cuts and tax rises were not responsible for the weak economy.

But the OBR said it had been arguing for years that this was an issue.

Labour said it was an "embarrassing rebuke" for the prime minister."

Fred1new - 09 Mar 2013 10:48 - 22189 of 81564

Mr Cable called for pensioners' benefits such as the winter fuel allowance, free TV licences and travel passes to be taxed.

He repeated his call for more capital spending and said crucial sectors of the economy such as construction needed support.

"We have done very brave things in the first spending round, but we have now got to the point where further significant cuts will do enormous damage to the things that really do matter like science, skills, innovation and universities," he said.


(I wonder how many medium and high rate tax payers use their bus passes and how removing them, will effect and cost the city malls and the local economies.)
