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.

how nice to encounter that rare beast of an honest politician, even if he has now retired to the Lords
Jack Straw openly admits that he (and the gov't of the time) completely screwed up with allowing open house for any EU citizen/worker back in 2004 - when even france and germany did not
as i think i have posted before, i would very much hope and indeed expect that i would have voted for JS had he been my mp, even if he is resides on the "other side"

I met Jack Straw briefly on a train before they came to power and we had a brief exchange of pleasantries, If I met him now those exchanges would not be so pleasant, and it would be nothing to do with Alf's above subject.
Ed: Anyone on here using the Reliance Bank? see my post 713 from last night.

Because he was and still is (as far as I can deduce) a member of that Tory Blue Labour lot who I despise.

an interesting colour combination!
in the instance of JS and one or two others, i would vote for the man and not his party, whichever party he happened to be attached to
McCluskey and Crowe and their ilk would never ever get my vote!

Straw typifies the Sycophantic Career Party Politician i.e. usually a member of the Legal, Accountancy or Journalistic Professions with a University Education to boot... A 1st class Crony.

for all that, it seems to have worked, painful as it has been and may be for a while yet ..... despite the protestations of fred and a few others (like you?), the economy is picking up pretty fast and in its wake will come more employment (crap from fred and others ignored) which in due course becomes self-fulfilling ..... sunny and green-pastured (not green as in politics of jealousy) uplands can never be guaranteed as so many extraneous things can have a baleful effect

Cynic,
Wake up, you are still in dream land.
"uplands can never be guaranteed as so many extraneous things can have a baleful effect"
I see you express your doubts and getting ready for the u-turns and explanations of failed policies with mantras it wasn't my fault it was mummy's and daddy who let me down.

But don't have a heart attack, or car crash over Xmas as they won't know which exit room to put you in, I suppose there is the always the morgue.

When something is going wrong. it good to know that somebody will rush in and change it.
How many changes have there been so far due to Lansley and cronies?

"What a bitter and closed mind you have to be sure"... Not at all, But another nonsense response as usual, And mealy refers to himself.
"do you also carry a bag of potatoes?" ... What an Irrelevant wast of a sentence that is.
"I rather think you do"... Thinking? You?... When are you going to start then?
