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.

Nigel Farage: 'Blunkett right to warn Roma migrants could trigger riots'

David Blunkett's warning that an influx of Roma migrants could lead to riots in Britain should be taken very seriously, according to Ukip leader Nigel Farage.


The comments follow the former home secretary's suggestion that an influx of Roma migrants could create “frictions” with local people and lead to race riots.


"Mr. Blunkett should be admired for the courage he has shown by speaking so plainly on this issue. Of course the type of language he has used I would have been utterly condemned for using," Farage said.


"The fact that he is talking of the significant difficulties with the Roma population already in his constituency should be taken seriously by the likes of Cameron, Clegg and Miliband.


"My question is if they won't listen to the dangers of opening the door to Romania and Bulgaria next year when UKIP speak out on it, will they listen to David Blunkett? I certainly hope so.

But unlike Tory MPs entrys on Wikipedia no mention of millions of pounds been handed down or sponging off a rich partner.

They're all at it gf!

Haystack - that's part of the trouble with some of these Labour MPs, just like Balls they would like to be posh boys/girls, but they can't quite cut it!

No they arent, just a few on the labour side loads of them on the Tory side.

And you see its the tory attitude that stinks, they think they have a devine right to leadership and wealth.

Just look at Hays and cynic as examples.

They arent self made like myself and others.

Thats a big big difference.

Leave Alf out of this... he's got work to do -):

gf
I come from a poor background. I have been left no money from anyone. I went to a state school.

Max big big difference between those that are privately educated who believe wealth and leadership still have to be earned and............. not given, ie handed on a plate.

sticky - you obviously know far more than me, so please enlighten me as to where i made what money i have and also my personal beliefs and ethics and ethos ..... i'm all ears and waiting to learn, as clearly you know far more about me than i do

Hays what was this about the Threshers empire being left to you then. Thats what you made out!!!!!

And dont deny you havent sent your kids to private school. How can a bloke from a state school send his kids to a private school!!!. You may have had them later in your life than the norm I conceed.

Thats the only way you could have done it. Unless of course you won the pools or similar.

But either way you still have that attitude that stinks.

Cynic, you are losing your memory again. You have told this thread so many times.

Now stop being silly.

Haystack - good for you and you are obviously well educated. I have also come from a poor background and have worked hard to achieve a better standard of life.

What's this then? who can say that they were the poorest... Pathetic Tory Voters alert!

Oh and by the way, Alf? get back to work -):

perhaps so, but i'm sure everyone here would love to be told exactly from where i got my money etc etc, and of course i need reminding too ..... or will you claim amnesia?

just been tying up a couple of deals actuaklly Stan, so quite a chirpy day ..... and btw, i have never pretended growing up in anything resembling poverty, and i also see no merit at all in professing or pretending to such background or that one's parents had to clean toilets to keep a crust on the table

in this life, we are dealt a certain hand of cards, and what we make of it is primarily down to the individual, both in good times and bad

YAWN.

Your only posting cos the markets so sh-ty, and your bored LOL.

not at all .... not the greatest day on the markets, but i've had far worse with NMX2350 giving decent support to the portfolio

Well I am and admit it.
