THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Just to reassure Haze that he is on the the wrong planet:

4/3/2014

Topline figures are CON 30%(-2), LAB 38%(+5), LDEM 10%(+1), UKIP 11%(-3)


But I am sure he has some excuse or explanation for them.

He will have to check first with party headquarters for the new mantra.

MaxK - 04 Mar 2014 23:42 - 37741 of 81564

The cabinet, and what they do all day....



Haystack - 04 Mar 2014 23:52 - 37742 of 81564

That looks more similar to the shadow cabinet.

MaxK - 04 Mar 2014 23:55 - 37743 of 81564

Both in reality I suspect.

PM accused of cover-up over aide
BY PRESS ASSOCIATION, 5 MARCH 2014 1.02AM. UPDATED: 12.53AM.


Prime Minister David Cameron has been accused of cover-up after a top aide was arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornographyPA
David Cameron is facing claims of a Downing Street cover-up after a senior aide was arrested on suspicion of possessing child porn.

Patrick Rock resigned quietly nearly three weeks ago after officials were made aware of a potential offence.

But Labour MPs have been asking why Number 10 only disclosed the news in response to questions from the Daily Mail yesterday.

Backbencher John Mann said it was "mysterious" that the situation had not emerged earlier.

"There has been a bodged attempt at media manipulation which is wholly unacceptable from 10 Downing Street," he said. "Of course they should have revealed it proactively."

Speaking on a visit to the West Midlands yesterday, Mr Cameron said he had been "profoundly shocked" by the allegations against Mr Rock.

"I don't think it would be right to pre-emptively brief out a criminal investigation and that's why we did not do that," he said.

"But as soon as questions were asked, as questions would inevitably be asked, we have given very full and straightforward answers, which is absolutely the right way to answer this.

"I've been clear right along and I was told about this issue pretty much as soon as it was discovered and I have been very clear we must handle this in an absolutely correct way and I am satisfied that is what No 10 Downing Street has done."

The Prime Minister's spokesman confirmed that No 10 was first made aware of the alleged offence regarding child abuse imagery on the evening of February 12.

The matter was immediately referred to the National Crime Agency and Mr Rock resigned his position as deputy head of the policy unit. In the early hours of the morning of February 13 he was arrested at his home in London.

Mr Rock has been an influential figure behind the scenes in the Conservative Party for decades, and made three unsuccessful bids to become an MP. He is reported to have been in line for a peerage.

In the 1970s, he was credited with coining the Tory slogan "Cows moo, dogs bark, Labour puts up taxes".

In 2011 he was drafted in by Mr Cameron - a fellow adviser to former home secretary Michael Howard in the 1990s - to beef up the Downing Street policy unit.

Prior to his arrest and resignation, Mr Rock had been involved in drawing up Government policy on internet porn filters.

It has emerged that the adviser was the subject of an unrelated complaint of "inappropriate behaviour" towards a female civil servant 18 months ago.

Downing Street said the complaint against Mr Rock had been dealt with "very seriously" in accordance with the Cabinet Office's human resources policy but declined to give further details.

The spokesman said the harassment allegation was "in no way related to the arrest".

"The issue was appropriately resolved with the consent of and in consultation with the individual who raised the issue," he added.

On the other hand, he might have been doing research into the porn industry as per his brief.

Is anyone stupid enough to fall for this Tory tax bribe?
05 Wednesday Mar 2014
Posted by Mike Sivier

So David Cameron wants us to believe further public spending cuts will be used to ease the tax burden on the proles, does he?

He must think you’re stupid. Are you?

Exactly one month ago (February 5), the Institute of Fiscal Studies reported that Cameron’s Coalition government will be less than halfway through its planned spending cuts by the end of the current financial year, as Vox Political reported at the time.

These are the cuts that the government considers vital in order to bring the nation’s bank account back into some kind of balance in the near future.

If Cameron abandons the “long-term economic plan” his Tories have been touting for the last few months, in a bid to bring voters back on-side, it means he will want to make even more cuts if he is returned to office in 2015.

We can therefore draw only two possibilities from his claim:

There will be no tax cuts; he is lying, in the same way he lied about keeping the NHS safe from private companies – the same way Jeremy Hunt has lied about your medical records being kept away from companies who will use them to raise your health insurance premiums, and the same way that Iain Duncan Smith has been hiding the true extent of the deaths caused by the Atos- (sorry, OH Assist-) run work capability assessments.

He will make a few tax cuts (probably in the March budget) but any benefit will be clawed back as soon as the Tories have secured your votes and won another term; the only people they want to help are rich – and you don’t qualify.

According to yesterday’s (March 4) BBC report, “every efficiency” found could help provide a “bit of extra cash” for households.

But we already know from the BBC’s article about the IFS that “additional spending, population growth and extra demands on the NHS meant more cuts were needed”.

Cameron even contradicted himself in his speech! At one point he said, “Every bit of government waste we can cut… is money we can give back to you.” Then he went on to add: “If we don’t get to grips with the deficit now, we are passing a greater and greater burden of debt to our children.”

Which are you going to do, David? Give money back to the people in tax cuts or tackle the deficit? If you want to achieve your goals within the time limit you have set yourself, you can’t do both!

Not that deadlines mean anything to him, of course. As noted in the earlier Vox Political article, it is more likely that the Conservatives have been working to give themselves an excuse for more cuts, rather than to restore the economy and balance the books.

And if he does cut taxes, what public services will we lose forever as a result?

Think about it.

Don’t let this liar make a fool out of you.

There is an interesting TV channel called RT. It is Russian TV. You can watch it on tvcatchup.com

It is in this list near the bottom

Its on freeview Hays.

Haystack - 05 Mar 2014 10:22 - 37758 of 81564

It is very interesting. It puts Russia's case. They are interviewing people camping out in the Crimea to protect people from the rest of Ukraine and the fascists.

goldfinger - 05 Mar 2014 10:52 - 37759 of 81564

Yep its a good view.
