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.

Nothing to say then hays about Cameron above???????????

Hays,

I think from what I see, that the CON artists should be concentrating on doing a hatchet job on their own leadership rather than hope they can smear labour as they usually do coming up to an election.

This is the reason for being called the NASTY PARTY but now known as the NASTY INCOMPETENT PARTY of LOSERS.

here here...... more more more.

papers waving........ more more more.

Hypocrite's, the lot of em!



Another Clegg betrayal: Now he's accused of U-turn over curbs on High St gambling machines

Nick Clegg was yesterday accused of a betrayal on gambling reminiscent of his U-turn on tuition fees as Liberal Democrats refused to act to curb fixed odds betting machines.

The Deputy Prime Minister had posed for pictures in March alongside campaigners trying to reduce the stakes and payouts on the machines where punters can lose £100 every 20 seconds.

They have been dubbed the crack cocaine of the high street. But last night Mr Clegg and senior Lib Dem colleagues backed a government plan to keep the stakes and payouts of up to £500 the same.

This is a better headline

Even the Sun couldn't have thought of a better front page

she certainly scrubs up well, or to be a bit harsher, she knows how to apply her make-up to best advantage ..... 2/3 years ago I saw her out at breakfast without the glam, and it was a bit of a disappointment to put it politely

The increase in student fees would also have happened under Labour. The study set up to advise was their study.

I don't remember the raising of uni fee's to be in any manifesto.

cynic - I don't think any amount of scrubbing up would make her ex husband look any better!

i think saatchi is a very unpleasant piece of work

You have to take Novella's comments with a pinch of salt. They are both engaged on a war of words.

Before the May 2010 election, the Conservative Party made no promises when it came to tuition fee levels. Their manifesto talked about waiting for a review of higher education funding by Lord Browne, the former BP boss asked to look into this question by the Labour government (which also made sure Lord Browne would be reporting back after the election, neatly kicking the issue into touch).

The Conservatives accepted the Browne report and it was written into the coalition agreement before the start of the Coalition government.

Yep but the Liberals did. Remember the posters and banners. No tuition fees under our watch. Pity we cant get rid of them for good but theirs too many loyal constituencys historicaly.

Rather have the tories than that lot under Clegg.

Ive already sent Milli a letter saying no way to a coalition with those wet yes men.

Hays got the lap Top sorted memory connection. Showed the guy your post.

Many thanks.

The problem was that the Libs did not win an election. To operate as a coalition you have to compromise. The fees needed to rise and they did. Overall a good thing. For the best universities the fees need to rise again.

The fees problem is the result of the misguided policy of getting everyone to go to university to study pointless subjects.

Pointless subjects if employers dont want or recognise them agreed.

Same with 'O' levels or any qualification.

In fact these so called apprenticeships 6 weeks to do Customer Care, totaly useless.

oooooops duplicate.

It is worth remembering that Mandela was the head MK which was the terrorist wing of the ANC. He was involved in bombings in public places such as railway stations. At his trial he pleaded guilty to 156 acts of terrorism. He was part of the South African Communist Party. He has been transformed into a statesman. Certainly, his cause was just and the fight against apartheid was needed.

Almost without exception, the leaders of Israel were originally terrorists killing British soldiers in Palestine.

The same is now true of Palestinian 'terrorists' who are fighting against Israeli apartheid in the West Bank and who seek the return of their country. They are fighting a system just as bad as existed in South Africa.
