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.

Labour party conference LOL Start the music maestro DA DA DA DA DA DAT DAT DA DA DA IT's THE MUPPETT SHOW TONIGHT!!!!! OR BRING IN THE CLOWNS!

Has anybody else noticed the amount of infrastructure work increasing over the last 6-12months as the con party prepare for their defeat in the next election?
It is strange how a slash, burn and hoard government has quietly done another u-turned in preparation to the next election.
They have been financing (pouring money in) into the economy to boost it, in an attempt to save their bacon.
Why wasn’t this done 2 ½ years ago, because delay is politically motivated.


“Priorities
In 2013 our priorities are:
• to improve the economic infrastructure sectors (energy, transport, waste, flood, science, water and telecoms)
• to continue working on the government’s top 40 projects identified in the National Infrastructure Plan
• to secure £200 billion of investment over the next 5 years, the majority of which will come from private sector
• to supports major infrastructure projects where there is capital investment from the public sector (for example, Crossrail, Broadband Delivery UK, and Smart Meters)
• the UK Guarantees scheme, introduced to avoid delays to investment in UK infrastructure
Who we are
The unit is made up of civil servants and private sector commercial experts. We’re based in HM Treasury in Whitehall.”

The CON party appears to have been manipulating the economy for its own corrupt ideology. It stinks of a politically corrupt party.

I think they have left the “u-turns” and “boosting” too late.

Interesting that Labour can't be trusted to run the economy.


However do you trust Cameron?

Interesting how the NHS is being managed

called on Ministers to justify the award of a multi-million pound contract to provide highly specialist cancer services after reports that the winner, Hospital Corporation of America International, has donated to the Conservative Party.
This week the Mirror reported:
The multi-million pound deal with Hospital Corporation of America was pushed through quietly just days before the Government handed responsibility for cancer care to NHS England.
A Mirror investigation has discovered that HCA has given the Tories at least £17,000 since they came to power.
Opposition MPs last night described the decision as “scandalous”.
Labour MPs are particularly angry because London’s University College Hospital – one of the best NHS brain treatment centres in the country – has been told to stop treating brain cancer patients and send them to HCA.

The Con party appears to have been manipulating the economy for it's own corrupt ideology. It stinks of a political corrupt party.

Bye gum Stan lad , I gave that big jessie cynic from down south a right old reply to his post.

Did you Fred , right that's another two glasses of gin & tonic and a couple of fairy cakes.

Stan remember to say, its a pie and pint when we post on the message board, nudge,nudge, wink,wink , know what i mean.

aldwickk - do you mean this ?

It seems somebody has found the magic mushrooms again.

But his words of wisdom and comment do seem to be exposing his personal "fears".

no it was the one of them sitting in the pub

.

Listening to Ed Ballsup this morning, he sounds as if he has either been to anger management classes or sought the services of an image consultant. My guess is both!

having read bits and pieces of EB's offering, much of it could have been spouted by any party in opposition ..... it is virtually inevitable that they end up saying pretty much the same, including "Of course we've costed it properly and can be afforded" ..... and of course, as and when that party comes into power, it will immediately state, "Oh dear! We didn't realise the coffers were THAT empty, so many of those promises just cannot be fulfilled, or at least not for a few years yet"
