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.

It is the language and rhetoric of extremism. The aim is to objectify your enemy then anything you do is reasonable. We did it to the Germans in WWII.

Interesting letter from "GUARDIAN" Letters

I don't know why anyone thinks that the Tories actually want Scotland to stay in the Union. A few years ago, I read a letter in the Guardian that made so much sense to me as a Northerner, I cut it out and kept it. I'll reproduce part of it here, and hope the author doesn't mind:
"The Tories recognize that Thatcherism entailed selling our national assets and spending the receipts. Blair/Brown did not understand the consequences,
Cameron/Osborne do. Our reducing economy can only sustain a reduced standard of living. The Tory solution is to junk the superfluous elements of society and run the remainder of the country for those who can keep up. Their principal problem will be keeping enough people on-side to get re-elected. This can more easily be achieved by breaking off and discarding those bits of the UK that don't vote Tory".
So if anyone doesn't really understand what the game plan is, I think this sums it up perfectly. I'm sure they'd quite like to get shut of the NW & NE too. So it begins.
(Thanks to Martin L, Denbigh).

Good one Fred.
Not a bad idea, but I'm not sure the present comedians had enough brains to think it up.
Either way, jocks gone would be a win win.

The London political elite migrate to Scotland!
Cameron is a "passionate man".
He is passionate about the union and Scotland.
If they are so caring about Scotland why didn't they introduce the bright ideas 1,2,3 or 4 years ago.
Oh, I get it, they are new con party policies which they can U-turn or renegade on later. (Just before or after the next elections.)
What a bunch of self interested political creeps.
(Must watch my tail end in case Cameron becomes passionate again.)

In a speech to the TUC Carney said that real wages should rise next summer and accelerate after that. He also said that interest rates would not rise until next spring! (Maybe not even then).

No noisy neighbours, or screaming kids, or the sound of traffic, it looks good to me. How much do you want for it?

The FTSE 100 index changed little all day as uncertainty over the result of next week's referendum vote in Scotland continued to worry investors.
Sentiment was also not helped when new figures showed that the UK's trade deficit had widened to its highest level for over two years.
