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.

LOL. Good one Hays.

ONS says services now 0.4% higher than pre recession peak, though manufacturing 9.9% below pre recession peak, construction 12.5% lower

Suddenly the secret of Barack Obama's suspiciously tasty sauerkraut recipe becomes clear.

Beginning to look like the relics thread!

Figures a bit better but not back to prefigures after 3years of mismanagement.

Interesting election result in Scotland.

Fred you mean 13 years.
2517

Labour winning back old freinds.

Don't forget this goverment had 13 year's of mismanagement to sort out first , but Labour took over with a clean slate.

LOL, not so Aldwick. Labour always have to find 5 million people jobs after the Tories have been in power. Always been the case.

Seem to think a lot of Tories are forgeting it was a WORLD WIDE Banking crisis in 2008.

Not only that but Tories are so shell shocked on the energy crisis that they are calling for the COAL MINES to be opened again, how ironic.

There is no energy crisis. We pay about the EU average for our energy. The energy companies only make about 4% profit. Out of that, they have to fund new investment.

Also, forgetting sub prime mortgages and said "Housing Bomb".

Also, forgetting sub prime mortgages and said "Housing Bomb".

Why would there be a sub prime mortgage problem?

i'll shortly be posting a note on the housing market on the relevant thread(s)

It wasn't world wide , no crisis in Asia. It was US bank's and UK bank's under Labour giving money to people who would have had a bad credit rateing under the tory goverment. bank's sending out credit cards to teenager's who were still at school. Labour let happen under Gordon Brown , it was fool's gold [ don't mention Gold and fool ] that's another story.

Blimey aldwick Thatcher lost this country far more money than Brown on the Gold sale, have you forgotten all the Noth Sea oil tax take that was meant to fund the new infrastructure of Britain spent on the unemployed and then all the council houses she flogged off now held in lanlords hands mostly migrants to this contrys hands, the figure is 2/3rds of all council house sales.

And she flogged utilitys off at knock down prices.

You also forget all Europe North America Asia and south America were blighted by the banking crisis.

I dont say labour didnt make some mistakes but I bet the tories after 13 years would have made the same ones. Once youve been in power that long you get complacent especially when all of them were boom years, i cant remember having it better.

Now come on Hays get real, we do have an energy crisis. And whats this NEW INVESTMENT????????????????????, in fact the profits have all been pocketed by large shareholders. Hedge funds amongst them.

And answer this when wholesale prices fall why isnt the fall passed onto the consumer?????.

meanwhile

Grangemouth petrochemicals plant has been saved following a last-minute deal.
It came after the Unite union confirmed it would now "embrace" a survival plan in an effort to reverse a decision by Swiss-based owner Ineos to close the business.

so that militant union, that clearly had little interest in its members' futures or anything else, had its arse kicked, and a bloody good job too

Osbourne on TV gloating but these are the real figures...............

though manufacturing 9.9% below pre recession peak, construction 12.5% lower

Pathetic bravado presentation coming from the weak chancelor, all 3 years too late.
