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.

Cynic,
Whenever I think of tory cuts to "welfare" and the abuse which many tories apply to the unemployed I think of this as the standards of the political elite:
In May 2009 Jenkin was reported by the Daily Telegraph to have used £50,000 in expenses in order to pay his sister-in-law rent on the property he uses as his constituency home. Jenkin claimed that he was just paying "an honest and reasonable rent" for the property.[3]
On 27 October 2009 it was initially recommended that Bernard Jenkin pay back £63,250 by expenses auditor Sir Thomas Legg. This is the highest amount known to have been recommended after an audit of MPs' claims on second homes expenses.[4][5] This amount was reduced to £36,250 following an appeal.[6]
If somebody who was unemployed and claiming benefits had made "false" claims for the same amount he would probably be doing time.

mccluskey must be a tory plant for he assuredly plays right into their hands
the labour party must be holding its head in grief and pain for this is exactly the sort of militant trades unionism that the general public loathe and perceive as part and parcel of the labour party itself

I think most working class people have been praying for this.
This is a DAY to mark the fight back.

i truly think you're wrong
were it not so, why would the labour party attempting to distance itself insofar as it can from the trades unions?
surely if what you say is correct, the labour party would want to cosy up even more to show how closely it felt allied to what you quaintly call the champions of working class people?

i think the internet has a load of spoofs listed, and i may get round to look at it if nothing better to do
btw, i still think you should consider BLT, and not just for a short trade either ..... i very much like that sp has jumped straight through the congested 25/50/200 dmas in a single move
