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.

No, but he does seem to think and is prepared to do the ground work before, rather than swagger about the stage and repeat himself as your idol does.

The Cameron Mantra should be "its not my fault gov, it them over there".

Not again and again.

He was born in University College Hospital as I was and both my sons.

Hays,

Were you born?

I would have thought you self constructed.

Its the working class boy's who made million's working for the big bank's trading stock's and derivatives. The son's of dock workers who moved to Essex.

Very true. 'working class' is not something to be held up as an ideal to be worshipped.

Born with a silver spoon in gob seems to be the sovereign start if you want to make your way in politics.


lookit the three stoogies.

Harman was born Lesley Harriet Harman in London to Anna Harman (née Spicer), a solicitor, married to a Harley Street physician John Bishop Harman.[5] Her parents each had non-conformist backgrounds – her grandfather, ophthalmic surgeon Nathaniel Bishop Harman, was a prominent Unitarian[6] and the Spicer family were well known congregationalists. Her aunt was Elizabeth Pakenham, Countess of Longford, and her cousins include writers Lady Antonia Fraser, Rachel Billington, and Thomas Pakenham.[7][dead link]

Harman attended a fee-paying public school, St Paul's Girls' School and then gained a BA in Politics from the University of York. She then went on to qualify as a lawyer.

Oh please buck up you Tory sycophants... You lot get more embarrassing by the day.

Not as bad as the 'salt of the earth' working class socialists.

Harman is not the norm aldwick in the labour party.

Your an obvious Tory just picking and chosing from the labour list.

You cant do that with the Tory cabinet as they are all posh boys from public schools.

Stan - I spent 2 weeks touring Cornwall in the early 70s in one of these.

excuse me, but what does it matter what someone's background or place of education or any of those other nonsense labels which you muppets like to bandy around?

Part-time Britain: Record numbers now have jobs but most finding employment work for less than 25 hours

Number of part-timers people looking for full-time work doubles to 1.45m
Overall unemployment rate falls to 7.7% but mostly part-time jobs
Four out of five new jobs since 2008 have gone to part-time women


By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor

PUBLISHED: 12:24, 11 September 2013 | UPDATED: 01:55, 12 September 2013


Rising levels of employment are being fuelled by people being forced to take part-time jobs, official figures showed today.

In the last five years since the financial crash the number of men in work has remained almost unchanged, but 280,000 who were in full-time jobs have been forced to cut their hours.

At the same time four out of five new jobs in the whole economy have been taken by women working fewer than 25 hours.
