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.

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...

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:

having now read all the info watch videos on the football rape .he should never have been charged . go to any gig and you will see loads of girls dropping their nickers to get attention wanting sex I have seen it many times . as a lad of 18 could tell you of loads of women today I know who wee not ladies and when they see me they always look away and would never come into the local shopping centre .

before judgement read the facts .why was only one charged ?
the nanny state in action

immigrants let of rape because they said they thought it was not criminal
justice must be for all which under eu rules it is not
cry human rights and you walk away with a golden hand shake

TANKER tell me do you live in a very rough area?????

not relative to holmfirth i dare say :-)

no .

why is it the uk is the only eu country fighting and helping ebloa no eu country is doing anything the uk tax payer pays the price ever time . german French Spanish Belgian never do fcuk all or Poland swiz and many more close the borders andgt u of the stinking rotten eu

that isn't true either, but then why should one ever expect accurate comment from the village idiot?

but not from a family who run away and fleas is country .
only good people fight for their country

This thread can be incredibly funny at times - barking mad even. On that note, I'm off to walk my dogs!

come on VI, bring it on ... let's have a load more bileful nonsense from you .... let us all see just how stupid you can make yourself if you really try

un only the usa and uk are responding to the ebola crisis

Downing Street’s Ebola panic is a classic case of the politics of fear

Remember Sars? What about bird flu? Here we are again with the latest ‘pandemic’, having our insecurities cynically exploited

'The government should appoint a commission for the assessment of panics.' Illustration: Otto Dettmar


No one can tell me if Ebola is the worst plague since, variously, Aids, Sars, BSE or the black death. All I hear is that it “might” be. I do not mind being told no one knows. But what do I make of a prime minister who emerges from his Cobra bunker and declares “a very serious threat to the UK”, a US president who says it is “spiralling out of control”, and a World Health Organisation that says it is “the most severe health emergency seen in modern times … a potential threat of an unparalleled human catastrophe”?

We have lost control of the language of proportion. The result is an outbreak of crying-wolf syndrome. David Cameron and his cabinet currently tell me to be scared witless by Ebola, an attack from Isis, a resurgent Russia and global warming (sometimes). In July, the prime minister said we face being “cast back into the dark ages of medicine” because of a new strain of superbugs. This was capped two months later when Stephen Hawking declared that “the God particle could destroy the universe”. In small print it said this was “very unlikely”, but how unlikely is very?

Is this all scientific drivel, or merely abuse of the sacred word “could”? We have no tools for assessing such threats. There is no help from the Office for National Statistics or Office for Budget Responsibility. Tim Harford of the BBC Radio 4 programme More or Less tries to keep his head above the sea of tosh. But the only sane response is total scepticism of the motives of those seeking to make us afraid.

The real threat from Ebola, the subject of agonising coverage from Africa and panic measures from governments, is hard to assess. It has been around since the 1970s. It was eventually contained each time, including in the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier this year. If governments really thought it so terrifying they would issue a temporary ban on air travel which, in the digital age, is almost all non-essential. But when fear is in the air and politicians want to seem in control, who can tell?

Just when you think the Tories couldn't be more heartless Tory minister Lord Freud shows they can.
