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 new semi-compulsory pension whereby you have to opt out (every 3 years) so as not to be included will be a disaster imo. Off now until monday as away for a weekend break.

ALL gov'ts are evil and grasping and incompetent and anything else perjorative you wish to call them ..... that's why i THINK i'ld rather see as little gov't interference in our lives and wallets as possible ..... is that not the (alleged) view of the US Republicans?

We aren't all in this together when NHS Sec Jeremy "austerity" Hunt is making £17m. Yes, 17-MILLION ........

What is wrong with that? A company that he set up 17 years ago is being sold. Are you getting desperate for news stories?

LOL, its here TANKER .

Fetch TANKER fetch boy.

ohhhhhh good boy.

News of the prospective windfall for Mr Hunt, the MP for South West Surrey, may cause embarrassment for the Government at a time when a debate about the cost of living is dominating Britain's political discourse.

With the NHS expected to face a strain on resources during the winter, Mr Hunt is likely to face a tough few months in Westminster.

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, has frequently sought to portray the Conservative-led coalition as an out-of-touch millionaires' club, and Mr Hunt is far from the only independently wealthy Cabinet minister.

Cynic,

Are you a signed up member of the UK tea party?

If not, Tinker or his pal can send you the necessary forms.

i'm sorry to tell you that i don't like the american political system at all ..... i'm sure it doesn't work as the founding fathers intended, but the result today is that a small minority is effectively able to bring the country to a disastrous standstill

Why shouldn't cabinet ministers be independently wealthy? Plenty of Labour ministers have been wealthy. In fact I would prefer it. At least they have knowledge of the business world. They also don't need their salary from parliament or need a career. That makes them more likely to be able to act in the best way and not worry about their jobs.

Hays,

"That makes them more likely to be able to act in the best way and not worry about their jobs."


For themselves, or the country as a whole?

UMMMMMMMMM.,

..

Double posting?

HITLER was a SAINT NEXT TO THIS GOVERNMENT
will never vote for these turds again or my family and many ex tory friends

Labour will have a field day everytime he appears in the commons.

Of course Labour will have its usual jibes as a result of the politics of envy.

workers to be breath checked at work .
so schools will be closing the pub and clubs I go to are full of teachers
and drink like fish . they are always moaning and say they are stressed out that's on a Monday at 5 30 pm

is not the breath test merely an idea - except for airline pilots and similar?
in the normal course of events, i would say it's a gross invasion of privacy as would be random testing for drugs by an employer
what about cigarettes?

As usual hes a posh public school boy, hays when will you get it into your head that normal working people are not going to vote for people like Hunt a co or the Tory party as it now stands.

Maggie didnt have ALL these posh boys, she had some but not all Eton.

gold . they are finished make no mistake their days are over
the labour party will win by a landslide .

when torys like myself and hundreds of friends all life long members of the party are
ashamed of our party and now not paid members .
the cons are finished

we may even vote lab to rid the uk of these evil astards
