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.

Its good to see Rachel Reeves policy document today aswel, ive been in touch with Rachel and wanted to know if they would overal the tories policy of discriminating against disabled strivers those who have saved money and contributed to a private pension whilst able to work.

The answer is YES. No longer will the tories be able to claim the poor and disabled are better off working with this policy in place which means those who dont save and dont insure for their latter life contine to get benefits whilst those who have tried to look after themselves have benefits removed.

It will be changed.

Hays.

On this occasion I see the argument.

I will consider my position and swallow my wine and consider my remarks.

UUUUU

PS.

Dreams.

In my life I have had to reconsidered my opinion and position many times and that is the reason for my survival.

Hays,

I have just extracted the following from :

Fascism
The principles and organization of the Italian Fascists, the Italian Fascist movement; a similar nationalist and authoritarian movement in another country; loosely right-wing authoritarianism.

Nazism /
The political doctrines evolved and implemented by Adolf Hitler and his followers, esp. those relating to racial superiority; the German Nazi movement; gen. right-wing, esp. racist, authoritarianism.





I would suppose I was being lazy, but the sentiment is the same.

Imprecision, perhaps.

In practice the masses are governed to their disadvantage by those who consider themselves the elite, or of the chosen.

" Its good to see Rachel Reeves policy document today aswel, ive been in touch with Rachel" - blah, blah, blah. I bet Rachel was absolutely rivetted - if she could actually make out what you were trying to say. What is the word "overal", do you mean overhaul or is it something you wear?

The Red Cross is providing Emergency Food Aid in the UK, for the 1st time since the Second World War, Just rejoice at that news #votetory

I think gf has bin at the holy water.

Wish I had Max. Taking ibuprofen for my shoulder and arm.

Which hand you use?

I'm not sure why the Red Cross suddenly think they need to provide Emergency Food Aid to the UK, as consumers seem to have plenty of money to spend.

"(Reuters) - British retailers are set to enjoy their best growth in Christmas sales since the financial crisis, according to a report published on Monday which forecast consumers would spend at least 2 billion pounds more than in 2012.

Market research specialist Verdict forecast spending in the fourth quarter would rise 2.2 percent from the same period in 2012 to 88.4 billion pounds - the best since 2007 when fourth-quarter spending grew 3.1 percent to 82.4 billion pounds.

Improving consumer confidence and job creation, along with a pick-up in the housing market, were some of the reasons cited by Verdict, which also pointed out that a baby boom during the recession meant consumers now have more children to buy Christmas presents for.

I knew he was on drugs. Ibuprofen - very addictive and has a degenerative effect on the brain cells if taken regularly. Sore shoulder and arm - he needs to give up fishing. I know it's bad manners to refer to him in the third person, but I've been squelched along with Haystack and Cynic.

If you work hard, and do your best...



Betrayal of elderly on social care costs

Thousands could be forced to sell homes despite earlier Government assurances



By John Bingham, and Peter Dominiczak

10:00PM BST 14 Oct 2013



Thousands of pensioners will be forced to sell their homes to pay for care despite Government promises to the contrary, it has been claimed.


The Coalition was accused of betraying the elderly by introducing a means test for access to a flagship scheme designed to prevent anyone having to sell their property while they are still alive to pay for care either residential or in their own home.


When Norman Lamb, the care minister, launched a government consulation paper in July, he said: “These reforms bring reassurance to millions of people by ending the existing unfair system so no one need face unlimited care costs or the prospect of selling their home in their lifetime.”


The paper promised a “universal” scheme enabling pensioners with diminishing funds to defer care costs until their death.


But a leading authority on elderly care has told the House of Lords how the fine print of the Government’s plans showed that thousands of elderly people with modest assets would not qualify until they had run down their savings and other assets — such as valuable possessions — to below £23,250.

DB - you may think of yourself as one of the chosen people, but i'm afraid that belongs to my gang - and seemingly "the one who shall not be named" has not seen fit to condemn me to the outer reaches

Cynic and Haystack not filtered. 'A' listers imo although we dont see eye to eye.

Doodlebug certainly a 'B' lister 2nd rate punk who is filtered. Poor lad as aspirations but to no avail.

UKIP giving votes back to the Tories.......

UK - ICM/Guardian poll: CON 34%, LAB 38%, LDEM 12%, UKIP 8%


Waken up NIGEL.

Cynic,

I have often been chosen.

The word does not belong to you or "your friends" alone.

Try to imagine what it feels like to be picked for Wales to play at the Arms Park now called the Millennium Stadium.

Or even to get a ticket for Wales beating England at the same park.


8-)


Ps

I am supposing that you do have friends.

i'm afraid my saturday name is norma :-)

sticky - you know how i hate these thrice daily poll updates, but the above comes as no great surprise, and i would not be at all surprised if, come the real thing, to see ukip's slice being sliced much lower ..... the public will always squeak and squawk until it's time to put money with mouth ...... the french, very stupidly and very much to their cost, voted in the heron to rule their pond, and of course now bitterly rue the day

Manuel,

Your analogy of the heron and the pond could be well applied to Cameron and the London pool.

Although Osborne and Boris seem to be casting their lines in China where the Cormorants usually do the fishing.

I am not sure which is Boris or George, but would suggest Boris has tied something around Georgie Boy's neck.
