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.

I would think Hilary and Rebekah have much in common.

They could exchange notes!

Be interesting to see what her next position is.

So what? It's old news. Ed Milibland has got absolutely nothing new to go on, and the only people trying make hay from it are dead-in-the-water left wing rags like the Grauniad and Socialist Worker, and, of course, dickheads like Fred, Stan and Fishfinger.

Move along the platform please ...

Wait and see whether it comes up to bite Cameron at the GE.

I think he is leaving enough debris around to bury him.

But I do like the way Wavy Dave stands up to be counted.

He bends with the faintest breeze in any direction he thinks he can survive in.

He is the wettest of the wet!

Wow! I didn't realise it was this big! Some pictures:

Glastonbury

Does anyone care if Hugh Grant's messages were read by the press? Only other news rags out to profit by it and activists in general. A massive waste of money. Hopefully the Leveson report won't be followed up with new legislation. I would take a free press any day.

Mobile phones have a 'manufacturer's default security number'.

I can't help feeling that all these people with such apparently very private and very valuable voice mail information never ever bothered with changing the security setting on their phone.

It seems to me, there was always a complete absence of personal care for personal security.

And suppose we term it 'exercising journalistic curiosity' to poke about into a celebrity's (or similar) phone instead of using the term hacking?

Hacking most of these phones by just using the manufacturer's default security in most of these cases was/is so absolutely bloody simple, it is almost a crime to call it 'hacking'.

It was almost like leaving a purse or wallet with money in it on the street and calling the action of the opening the item to find out who it belonged to, commiting an act which is a gross breach of privacy.

Haze.
It was so unimportant that they had to lie about it.

Hacking into somebody else’s privacy

I suppose it is a different morality.

Perhaps, Murdoch and Rebecca's starts “decency” starts at a different point to the majority of society and for profit prepared to use market forces to make their judgements.

Also, it depends on what one considers to be of personal, or private, or public interest.

But, the gutter press supporting Cameron and appealing to his followers, often show voyeuristic tastes in other people’s privacy, but are coy when it intrudes on their own families.


Birds of feather flock together.

Jimmy Savile report out today , what a evil man. Very convenient for a lot of people in the public eye he didn't live to stand in a court of law.

Oh dear John Prescott getting wellied on Question Time, this isn't in the script is it? LOL!!!!

And another success!

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has signed up to a trade and economic pact with the European Union on Friday, saying it may be the "most important day" for his country since it became independent from the Soviet Union.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin quickly responded, saying there will be "grave consequences" for Kiev's signing of the dead, Interfax news agency reported.

The European Union signed similar association agreements with two other former Soviet republics, Moldova and Georgia.

Businesses in the three countries whose goods and practices meet EU standards will be able to trade freely in any EU country without tariffs or restrictions. Likewise, EU goods and services will be able to sell more easily and cheaply to businesses and customers in Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Just seen Hilarys attack on us so called left wing commies from yesterday, what a stiffy I got on. 12 inch of raw meat Hilary. I know you love the male hen.

ps, I vote who I think will do the best for the economy, sorry but this present set of Tory Lyers dont come anywhere near.

pps, its very hard just thinking of you Hilary.

Interesting to see that the majority of EU political leaders are dissociating themselves from Cameron.

I suppose they don't want to be associated with a loser.

What puzzles me is when the World is dividing itself in to major and minor economic trading blocks, ie. China, USA. Russia, Africa (when it organises itself), India, some like Cameron and cronies want to trade as pirates outside the blocks.

All those major trading blocks are federations of some form or another and have cross states organisation, rules, laws, regulations etc. and functioning and appear to be gradually integrating albeit with minor problems.

But little englanders with the likes of Captain Marvel want to swim with Flotsam and jetsam.

But I always trust a man who says he going to stand up for what he believes in, and repeatedly breaks his promises.

Laughable.

he he.

I do wish George would put his very clever brain and oratory powers to better things. What a wasted talent!

George Galloway sued for £176,000 by PA ‘who helped him buy home'
June 27, 2014

Ayesha Bajwa, 51, who was employed as the MP’s parliamentary aide on a £12,000-a-year salary from October 2006 to February 2012, claims he still owes her tens of thousands of pounds, in a case lodged at the High Court.

In the legal papers, Ms Bajwa says she and Mr Galloway had a financial arrangement whereby she would pay for his expenses from her own bank account and he would reimburse her.

The former PA alleges she paid £29,914 in solicitors’ fees for the purchase of the MP’s home in Streatham in December 2009, and made a number of payments totalling £32,391 for the printing of election materials and Mr Galloway’s campaigning between March 2007 and May 2010.

Other outgoings allegedly included payments to his Viva Palestina charity of £2,848 and expenditure on his day-to-day living, from groceries to utility bills, and the refurbishment of his home.

The writ claims Ms Bajwa, who volunteered with the MP for 18 months before being given a paid job, was asked to make payments to two companies, Miranda Media and Finjan Limited, which were set up by Mr Galloway to “benefit from lower rates of taxation”.

It also alleges that when she experienced financial difficulties, Mr Galloway “requested Ms Bajwa raise funds by way of a bank loan and/or overdraft facility”. She subsequently took out a £25,000 loan in January 2011.

The writ claims that Mr Galloway was “unjustly enriched” at her expense.When approached at her home in Eltham, Ms Bajwa said: “What happened is very difficult for me to talk about. I’m sorry that anyone has found out. I’m not willing to discuss it.”

A spokesman for Mr Galloway denied the claims and said the case was being “vigorously defended” by the Respect MP for Bradford West.

The case comes after Aisha Ali-Khan, a former parliamentary secretary of Mr Galloway, this week pleaded guilty to encouraging her anti-terror police officer husband to access confidential Scotland Yard emails.

Her husband, former detective inspector Mohammed Afiz Khan, pleaded guilty to two misconduct charges at Southwark crown court. They are due to be sentenced on July 11.

Fred.

The volume of exports from the €U has been falling for years.

They are more interested in creating rules and regulations than jobs.
