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.

This incompetent tory dominated government has had three years to clear up the mess.
If they hadn't been concentrating on their outdated ideology and trying to privatise by stealth the health system, they might have addressed the real problems within the health system.
Andrew Lansley was a failure and wasted money in his reorganisation and put the back up a large percentage of NHS staff and caused disharmony.
Hunt was a failure in his previous position and many would consider him a barefaced liar.
The job is to big for him.
From what I read, unless they go cap in hand back to the Medical, Nursing and Allied Professions then the degree of chaos will increase and they will pay the price at the next election.
Another U-Turn is on the way and I don't mean the U-bend coming back from USA.
========
They should stop bleating and think before they leap stop clinging to the ideology of the remnants of past empire rule to give succour to members of a dying party.

A&E units are struggling due to increases in demand. One of the biggest causes is the contracts that the Labour government agreed with GPs in 2004. Not only did the new contracts give GPs a massive pay rise, it it meant that they could completely opt out of out of hours care at night and at weekends.
Yet another Labour mess to clear up.
Not sure who cocked it up but the problem is if your ill you have to book an appointment a week in advance.
If you need immediate attention then head to A&E .
Had experience of this and it aint funny.
So 3 years and its geting worse Haystack , how much longer they need to put a "Labour" problem right ?
Serious Haystack it's off topic but did you agree with Labour de-nationalising the BoE ?

Wouldnt think the coalition had been in nearly 3 years the way hays posts. LOL.
Perhaphs multiply it by 10 and they might have dealt with so called problems left by labour. !!!
In Hays world their was no World Recession in 2008 he also forgets all the western world copied Browns prescription for the cure when ALL were on the brink.
Osbourne is far worse a chancellor than Brown could have ever been. And Camoron.........2 months left..... and thats generous....very generous.

ps........ think Camoron and Clegg should make future plans for a semi state funeral for Fergie.
In my mind hes done just as much if not more for working people than Maggie ever did.
Certainly provided more entertainment.

GF.
I don't think the Duchess should have a state funeral, but willing to cough a quid or two for Cameron's and Osborne's as long as they are in the near future.

I can't see the BoE being privatised. I know it has been suggested on a regular basis over the yrears. There would seem little point. The FED in the US is effectively private. Shares in it are held by the other main banks. It works there, so I suppose it could work here. The BoE was private and nationalised in 1946. It is technically a private company now with 97% of shares owned by the government. There is 3% ownership still in private hands from 1946 as some people did not redeem their shares and they get a dividend each year.

the MPs and police and JUDGES are sweeping the rapes of young children under the carpet because they are not white people who have done these crimes against children
it should be high lighted all over the press and tv and radio
no one has lost their jobs it is a national disgrace
are they scared of these muslims because that is my view

That's because some of these numpties - who are referred to as footballers - were not paid such silly wages under Thatcher.

playing golf and then sitting in the sun on the terrace at the club
part of the prob i have with your very informative chart thread is that there is so much of it - and for me, usually too much to digest, for though i am rarely a long-term holder of stocks, i am certainly not nearly clever (foolish?) enough to be a day-trader
if your comment was really about THIS thread, then i have pretty much lost interest in it, as it goes round and round in circles, with preposterous and/or drunken space-wasting interjections by the village idiot

and Tankertown where at least one of its citizens is a drunken, moronic, racist idiot - but of course i'ld never say or even suggest that
so on another tack entirely, i wonder if village idiot watched the very interesting and thought provoking programme on bradford this evening .... for sure not, any more than he has ever even seen a Qur'an, let alone opened its covers or even bothered to find out any facts at all about islam

Funny there is no reference on here that Miliband is under pressure as Labours lead in polls slips. Only three points in the lead now Fred. Support for Labour now is at its lowest level since 2010.
