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.

Shows the typical hypocrisy of the present tory leadership and their worshipers, or wannabees!

at least i don't just c+p :-)

Manuel,

Only because you don't know how to!

Only if they are charities. Not by virtue of being a church as now. And only those aspects that are related to charity and certainly not the fabric of the mosque, church, temple, synagogue etc and the running of the religion. All donations to be treated as income and taxed. Separate out the charity and the religion. Donations being specific to charity or religion and no cross usage.

Whats wrong with the old small Primary school and the Secondary school + Grammar where all the kids in the village went come hell or high water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Sure you had the odd kid going to a private college where his parents thought they were stealing a march on eveyone else but these were very few and far between.

The asian kids sat outside assembly and were excused from Religous studies.

Whats happened to that World and what was wrong with it.

Ill tell you NOTHING in fact I blame do gooders within the council for all this religious tollerance and financial bidding etc etc. 'Local Government of Schools' as been a disaster and as been manipulated in a way in which no one ever saw developing.

Schools now been run by political and religious fruit cakes.

Time to get back to basics and let BRAINS rule once more.

One in 11 Britons has less than £10 a month disposable income

One in 11 people, or 4.5 million British adults, have less than £10 a month left over once they have paid their essential bills, new research from thinkmoney has found.

With many households struggling to make ends meet, the findings from budgeting account provider thinkmoney reveal the worryingly small amounts of disposable income people have left once they've met all their financial commitments.

Of the 2,149 people polled, one in four said they had less than £50 a month to spend after bills.

Across the UK, the average monthly disposable income was £224.50. However, there was a wide gender difference with men reporting having disposable incomes averaging £272.50, almost twice as much as women (£190.20).

Young people reported having the least disposable income, with 18-24 year-olds averaging £174.20 – some 22% below the overall UK average. Almost one in three people in this age group have less than £50 a month to spend after bills.

By contrast, the wealthiest in terms of post-bills spending money are people over 65, with an average of £269.50 a month available to spend.

The amount of disposable income also varies depending on where people live. It is highest in London, at an average of £261, and the South East, at £244. People in the North East and Wales have the lowest disposable incomes, at £199 and £181 respectively.

Worryingly, one in six people questioned in Wales said they had less than £10 a month to spend after bills.

“It’s stressful not knowing if you will have enough money to pay the bills and afford added extras each month,” said Ian Williams, director of communications at thinkmoney.

Charles Clarke ‘pessimistic’ on Labour winning UK election
By Jim Pickard and Kiran Stacey

Charles Clarke, the former Labour home secretary, has warned he is “pessimistic” about his party’s chances in next year’s general election, saying that Ed Miliband has not convinced the public he is capable of leading the country. Mr Clarke, who stepped down as an MP in 2010, said there was still a widespread public concern over whether Labour could be trusted with the economy.

He said “a lot of work still needs to be done” by Labour to convince people it could run the economy without going “back to bad economic circumstances in the past”.
Mr Clarke was one of the most vocal critics of Gordon Brown, the former Labour prime minister, and is seen as a passionate “Blairite”. Yet the comments come at an awkward time for Mr Miliband, given that his party’s poll lead has narrowed with less than a year to go before the most unpredictable general election for two decades.

The speed of the economic recovery has been faster than anticipated, threatening to derail Labour’s main argument that the coalition has damaged people’s living standards.
Mr Clarke said that Mr Miliband and Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, had mistakenly bet that the coalition’s austerity programme would choke off any recovery: “That’s proved to be an unwise judgment, because in fact the Conservatives have succeeded in getting the economy on to a more positive path.”

Asked about Labour’s prospects of winning the general election, Mr Clarke replied: “I’m pessimistic. I think it will be very difficult for us to do that. It could happen, it still could be done.” He agreed that he was “terrified” by Labour’s unconvincing performance in last month’s local and European elections. The former MP for Norwich South, who was education secretary as well as home secretary, told the BBC’s Daily Politics programme that it was “nonsense” for Mr Miliband to be dismissed as “weird”.
But the polls showed people were not convinced he could be a good prime minister, Mr Clarke said. “I think he does have the capacity to lead the country but people don’t believe that.”

The former cabinet minister said it was “tragic” that Tony Blair seemed to crave a return to frontline politics in Britain or Europe. “He does want another big job, but I don’t think there is any chance of him getting it,” he said.

Thanks for that i will take a look , there is so much advice out there from spread bet company's, but they nearly all say you have got to have system/trading plan to control your loses and stick to it.

Yep most certainly discipline and money management rules.

Ive seen great stock pickers start off in trading doing very well only then to come unstuck because they didnt have a trading plan and the discipline to carry it out.

Its an excelent book though and this chap the author is one of the best around with derivatives.

On that second link above you can buy the books second hand and they are just like new.

I always get my book s that way and must have over 700 books now on trading and investing.

That was brillient Max

Bradford now under the spotlight re- to islam agenda.

I said this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Since schools were given their own budgets and central power taken from LAs this was bound to happen.

Gove trying to contol more than 2000 schools.......NO CHANCE.

This is a massive scandal that could easily lose the Tories their second place in British politics and is a god send to UKIP.
