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.

Are you as certain as the Telegraph?

-----------

It seems to some, that Cameron is preparing another lie over negotiations with the EU.

He conned the Scots, or he thinks he has and now trying to do the same to the more gullible voters at Rochester.

He certainly has brass, but looks cheaper by the day!

========

Haze,

Are you another bird of the same feather?

DB4,

Why have the tory tricksters and PR teams been so active to-day on Fraud's case.

More trembling in central office.

Send for the haze he will be able to tell them what to say!

Of course he is Fred.

And secondly doodlebug was the first to say Fraud should resign.

Here we are........

Fred, for once I agree with you! Of course Lord Freud should be sacked immediately, his comments were utterly appalling. Putting aside party politics , if Cameron doesn't sack him within the next 24 hours then he is an idiot...........ends

But this time he hides behind a Telegraph article undated and without the articles author.

The Cameroon thing about €urope is just tory central office trying to stop the haemorrhage of votes to ukip.

He's still trying to blow smoke up your ass along the lines that he can actually change anything....he cant!

No Cameron did not fool the Scots one iota, they will get everything they have asked for. What he did was a masterstroke, the destruction of the Labour Party in Scotland. Gordon Brown was the fall guy who fell into it. His defence of the Union was epic, if only he had shown the same as leader of the Labour Party. Still to use Fred's favourite word MIND, he is bound to make a fortune on the after dinner speech circuit made famous by his former leader BLAIR. Labour are history in Scotland! EVERY CLOUD !!!!

Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael tells MPs new powers are on way to Scotland
SCOTTISH secretary Alistair Carmichael today insisted that more powers are on the way to Holyrood.

He told MPs the vow made by the pro-Union parties to deliver more devolution for Scotland was already being acted on.

Carmichael said: “The vow, the timetable are designed to strengthen Scotland in a secure United Kingdom.

“That is what people voted for and that is what they will get – more powers in a Scottish parliament within a modern UK delivered to the timetable agreed.”

During a heated Commons debate on devolution, the fourth in four days, Carmicheal called on the SNP to act in “good faith” in the cross-party Smith Commission on devolution.

SNP MP Pete Wishart raised the point that up to 70 Conservative MPs have signed a parliamentary motion calling for a review of the Barnett funding formula.

Under the formula, Scotland gets more public spending per person than England because of the higher cost of delivering services in remote rural communities.

“Barnett is safe because it is in the vow,” said Carmichael, responding to Wishart.

And he rounded on claims by the SNP and some Yes supporters that Westminster is trying to backtrack on the vow, which was published on the front page of the Daily Record .

Carmichael said of Wishart: “He seeks time and time again to suggest that somehow the vow made by the party leaders was not made in good faith.

“He seeks at every turn to undermine public confidence in the vow.

Gordon Brown warns the Commons against the Tojan Horse of English votes for English MPsGordon Brown warns the Commons against the Tojan Horse of English votes for English MPs
“If he wishes not to accept the verdict of the people of Scotland that is fine, but if he and his party are to take part in the Smith Commission in good faith he should accept that all of us are taking part in good faith.”

In the half hour debate, Gordon Brown said David Cameron’s demand to limit the votes of Scottish MPs in Westminster is a Tory “Trojan horse” that would actually deliver independence.

The former Prime Minister said demands for English votes for English laws should not hold back more powers for Holyrood

The Kirkcaldy MP yesterday presented a petition signed by 120,000 Scots, including Record readers , demanding the terms of the vow be met without conditions.

The petition, organised online by the campaign group 38 Degrees, urges Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg: “Please stick to those promises on the timetable you agreed. Scotland won’t accept less.”

Brown told MPs: “The people who signed it – Yes and No voters alike – are determined the vow made by all the three main party leaders on Tuesday, September 16, before the referendum is kept.”

Brown wants to spike Cameron’s English votes plan which would see 100 per cent of income tax devolved to Scotland and Scots MPs excluded from setting English financial issues in Westminster. Brown said that Cameron’s idea to limit the votes of Scottish MPs was “a constitutional crisis in the making”.

He told MPs: “This proposal to devolve 100 per cent of income tax and then exclude Scottish MPs from voting on income tax at Westminster is anti-Scottish but it is also anti-British

“By abandoning income tax as a shared tax, it threatens to end the pooling and sharing of risks and resources that underpins the unity of the UK.”

Brown told MPs there were 16 areas of agreement as the Smith Commission on devolution met for the first time. But there are still considerable differences on the level of taxes to be devolved.

Brown said 100 per cent devolution of income tax, as the Tories suggest, should be rejected.

Nice one Gordon, nice one son, nice one Gordon, let's have another one! Labour are finished in Scotland. Every Cloud! :0)

Lord Freud was talking to someone with a disabled relative on one way the government could help by topping up a lower wage so they could find work more easily, he was only trying to help. The reaction to his comment was unfair and way over the top.

QT tonight

That women Labour panelist was a political point scoring twat, the worst of the night.

And anybody who dared to say large number of immigrants were bad for the country were racist . And what rubbish Diane Abbott was talking on the Andrew Niel show, playing the card Black. they can't say that now East Europeans are not black so its not the color of her skin anymore

As I posted earlier alders Frauds incident cant be placed as a seperate entity...

goldfinger S - 16 Oct 2014 18:14 - 47838 of 47855 edit this post

Year 2000 to 2003,!!!!!! old historical rubbish.

One as to take this incident with Fraud and place it alongside present government attitudes/policy to the disabled and Welfare.

The present DWP is rotten from top to bottom and the charities know that.

Fraud cannot be seperated as a one off incident.

Good article by Fraser Nelson:
