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.

Noo Labour in office 1997 to 2010


result =

Similar letters of condolence were written by previous tory incumbents of the job on leaving office.

Look back to Reggie M.

Maudling's letter was less blunt and more apologetic. The recent Labour version was almost triumphant. One of the reasons was that Labour brought forward payments for projects and signed new projects to make sure there was no money and reduce the room for manouver for the new government.

Projects!!!!!!!! dont you mean BANKS.

Haze,

Check you facts and period.

No. Labour signed PFF and made promises sme of which the coalition eventually managed to cancel.

GF,


That was a fair appraisal of the record and effects of the Thatcher legacy and some of the coalition are still swimming with that mindset.

They should be precised and trailed on placards and hoardings etc. at time of the next election.

Well...there you go...The Ruskies have taken over Ukraine...shades of Hitler...and Poland...1939....those poor ethnic Germans..they needed saving didn't they....same thing here...

Ther Ukrainians are going to need arms supplies...surface to surface...surface to air...highly mobile...small batteries....

why not try discussing what is going on in ukraine?
we have the russian bully-boys on one side, and seemingly a bunch of anarchists and neo-nazis on the other
thus, the implications of what might happen there are infinitely more important and worthy of our attention than the constant stream of nonsense you guys on your soapboxes keep throwing about


lets face it, neither labour nor the conservatives have any decent let alone strong leadership, or even worthwhile policies ..... come May next year, there'll probably be a t/o of about 55% and we'll end up with some dreadful gov't or other

how labour supporters must rue voting for the ineffectual brother who is "owned" by the militant unions

There are only a small bunch of so called Nazis.....or are they nazis ?....every country has some of them...even Britain and the USA...oil might start to shoot up : that's a big possibility...elections...that's what should be happening in the Ukraine...sad to see such shambles out there..

I think in their circumstances I would rely on luck and hope that Russia is satisfied with the Crimea as a mouthful.

Can see Crimea separating from the rest and attempting to run as a individual state under the financial thumb of Putin.

Not sure what the economic effect will be, or what the share out of their debt will be.

Nazi Germany did exactly the same thing...Russia...today

There are a large number of right wing nationalists. It was these groups that were the driving force during the protest recently and almost certainly they were the ones who were armed and shot at the police. Some of the members of these groups have already been given jobs in the new government.

There has been a split between the right wing nationalists and the ethnic Russians due to the western area supporting the Nazis in the war. It is not for nothing that the eastern part and the Russians call the protestors fascists.

They are not all extremists but the people you see breaking the law will be...and I have to say : their mps voted the expresident out ......

i think we all need to read and learn exactly what is going on there, and try to determine who this new "mob" are who have forced their way into power
sure as hell it wasn't a democratic result!

the sister of a friend of mine has now fled the ukraine as she fears it is becoming fearfully unstable and dangerous

Manuel,

Well the latter remark is b, obvious even from sister of a friend of yours!

I thought the right wingers in Kieve look like a group of young tories on a night out.

Haze,

I thought the right wingers in Kiev look like a group of young tories, or Bullingdon Club "boyos" on a night out.


Were you attempting to smear the large number of "moderate" Ukrainians in the square in Kiev, on the grounds of a minority of supposed "right wingers" who may have been trying to usurp the "apparent" power.

Even, in a democracy the right (even the loony right of the ts.), and left wingers should have a right to take part in any government when or if it is being formed iin such circumstance as seem to be occurring there.

The last thing the majority of "ethnic Ukrainians" need is puppet government of the America and "West", or of the Putin's Russia, nor do they wish to be beholding of either sides.

If the ethnic Crimeanss wish similar, or to attach themselves after a "referendum" to Russia, so be it.

-----

I wish them luck!

They will need it.

I think the West, should give them all the financial help to stabilise their currency etc. and if asked, advice for constitutional and legal changes, which have to take place.

But otherwise remain on the side lines.

fossy - as your sobriquet implies, you're a total arsehole ..... as so often, you come out with a load of total and utter rubbish, for clearly you know no more than the rest of us, so just embroider to suit your own agenda

if your children have left home, they must have done so with a huge sigh of relief, assuming the strong likelihood that you pontificate at home like the red-socialist equivalent of alf garnett that you have pretensions to here
