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.

back home . my post on Scotland knows 55% was 100% correct
now to push for a ukip government .

gf answer me this question on the pillock ed .

min wage £8 a hour £320 aweek
pensioners on £ 113 aweek they will not beable to live prices will go up
is it that ed wants us to die
you can not raise the min wage until pensioners are getting more money
the pensioners retiring or retired before april 2016 will be on a lot less than
those retiring after 2016 and most have paid into the system for over 45 years
its a national disgrace that the pensioners in the uk are the worst looked after in the whole eu

The Alibaba initial public offering (IPO) was a big success.

Shares in the Chinese internet giant soared 38% on their first day of trading. The company is now valued at $231bn in total. That's a higher valuation than Amazon and eBay combined.

Such a big first-day rise was great news for Yahoo shareholders – Yahoo owns a 16% stake in Alibaba.

But for everyone else, the Alibaba IPO should be a worry.

It's further evidence that US shares are over-valued. A market can't stay over-valued forever. Sooner or later, the US stock market, at the very least, will plateau – or more likely, start to fall...

Here is a whizzo socialist Labour policy!

A child benefit freeze, a cut in politicians pay and higher tax for top earners will form part of Labour's plan to bring the deficit down, Ed Balls will say at the party's conference.

The shadow chancellor will present a 1% cap on rises for the first two years of a Labour government as one of the "tough decisions" necessary to deal with the deficit if the party takes power next year.

ed speaks before he thinks the man is a simpleton

ed to bring in max life span we will kill off pensioners and save the uk

if your a pension do not vote to eat the turkey do not vote for killier ED HE WANTS TO STARVE YOU TO DEATH

WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY GF

Cameron is hosting a summit at Chequers today to discuss the 'English votes for English laws' policy. The reporting of that should take the wind out of Miliband's sails.

Alex Salmond says No voters were 'tricked'

The First Minister goes back on his promise to accept the referendum result and raises the prospect of Scotland unilaterally declaring independence.



By Simon Johnson, Scottish Political Editor

Alex Salmond has raised the prospect of Scotland unilaterally declaring independence without another referendum as he abandoned his promise to accept the result and claimed that No voters were “tricked”.


Despite it being illegal, the First Minister argued the Scottish Parliament could say Scotland was leaving the United Kingdom at the point at which it had been devolved so many powers it was effectively independent.


The First Minister appeared to blame elderly Scots, who were most hostile to leaving the UK, for holding back younger generations and argued that independence is inevitable after they die off.


In a startling intervention, he also claimed that another referendum may not be required to break up Britain as the Scottish Parliament could unilaterally declare independence after gaining increasing numbers of powers.


Jim Sillars, his former mentor and a former SNP deputy leader, tweeted that the nationalists should “assert” a new rule that Scotland would become independent if separatist parties won a majority of votes and seats at the 2016 Holyrood election.

TANKER....get your facts right, its £8 starting in 2020.

Now where does he say hes stopping pension rises in line with inflation???????

Hmmm?

Is Tesco a stonkingly massive buying opportunity?

One broker as a buy on it this morning.

Must admit though its deli and meat offering is terrible.

Never buy a Tesco sandwich, they are rotten.

gf . if the pension goes up by 2.5% till 2020 the pension will go to £131 forpensions who retired before 2016 and he wants min wage £ 320 that means £ 189 a week less

get your facts right mine are not the man is a bloody idiot who speaks before he thinks .
if he wants the living wage for all and includes pensioners then . not one person would be better off as prices would match the rise . facts not bloody fiction

gf the answer is to cut the top pay on directors footballers and the like .that is the answer and will keep prices from going up .
stop directors from getting massive pay outs for doing their job they are paid to do
stop all bonuses and if they fail in their job sack them.

No. Minimum wage rising all the time to end up at £8 in 2020. That's not much of a rise in 6 years. Inflation and normal rises would make it close to that anyway. The recommended 'living wage' for London is currently £8.50. As usual Labour is not giving much away. Add to that, the promise to cap child benefit for the whole of the next parliament and people are unlikely to get much at all.

THESE ARE THE FACTS TANKER stop being silly, do your maths.............

“Ed Miliband goes into this week’s Labour Party Conference with another ‘big’ announcement. He is pledging to raise the minimum wage to £8 an hour. The minimum wage will be £6.50 an hour from October 1st this year, so on the face of it, that looks like a big rise,” he writes.

“However, the £8 figure is what it will be in 2020. Labour want to raise it in stages in consultation with business. £8 an hour would be 23% rise on the current rate, but that doesn’t take inflation into account. To keep the minimum wage fixed in real terms, it must rise by inflation each year. So if Labour were to simply fix the minimum wage in real terms up to 2020, what would its value be?

“If we assume inflation of 2% a year, by 2020, the minimum wage would be £7.32 an hour. With 3% it would be £7.76.

All they are promising is a 24p per hour, rise year on year with inflation at 3% which it is forecast for 2020.

And remember this they dont get free TV licences, free bus passes, cheap beer at the darby and jones club, free tea and coffee all day at the village hall with a free dinner thrown in. No free local lottery tickets, no 5 or 6 free xmas dinners etc etc. No pensioner rates at the local chippy.

You should be glad your children and grand children are going to get a few pence per hour more.

GF THAT IS A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS
the only pensioners that get help are those that never saved never worked
and they are better off than those that saved and worked
if you saved you get no help .
what planet are you on .

give true facts not crap

Well its a Tory government thats giving them the extra benefits, have a word with your local Tory MP and complain to him not me.

at this moment pension is £ 113 a week never here him saying pensioners should get the living wage the clown never mentions pensioners .
and will not answer any e mails you send him if the question is one he does not like to answer . a liar never does

Personaly I think pensioners get a pretty fair deal compared to others in society, I do admit though that the Tories by keeping interest rates down so low have hit pensioners savings BIG TIME and for years on end but those same pensioners who are moaning about their savings going to silch will still go out and vote for Camoron so its their own silly faults.
