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.

Anger as neurological patients told to "get better" 2 23/10/2014
Thousands of people with progressive and degenerative diseases are being denied disability benefits and being told they will "get better," charities revealed today.


Inquiries by five charities found that 35% of these patients are getting employment support allowance - but have been categorised as likely to be able to take up work.

The report has been produced by the MS Society, Parkinson's UK, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The figures come from a response to a freedom of information request, giving the assessments for some 22,000 people.

About 20% were deemed fit for work while about a third were placed on the employment support allowance work-related activity group - suggesting that assessors believed they could eventually return to work.

Steve Ford, of Parkinson's UK, said: "These latest figures are an utter disgrace and serve to underline just how little the Government cares for those with progressive conditions, like Parkinson's.

"To set up a system which tells people who've had to give up work because of a debilitating, progressive condition that they'll recover, is humiliating and nothing short of a farce.

"These nonsensical decisions are a prime example of how benefits assessors lack even the most basic levels of understanding of the conditions they are looking at."

UKIP 13% ahead at Rochester!


When is Wavy U-bend Dave doing his tour there?

EU budget 2014: David Cameron's new Euro nightmare as €2bn bill adds fuel to Ukip fire



by Kate McCann

October 24, 2014, 2:09am






David Cameron is in Brussels this week for talks




David Cameron was dealt a crushing blow in his battle to win reform in Europe last night, after the UK was told to stump up an extra €2bn (£1.57bn) by 1 December to shore up the EU budget.

The Prime Minister will be forced to pay the hefty sum because of the relative prosperity of the UK economy when compared to its poorer cousins in the Eurozone.

If Ed Balls had been in charge of the economy instead of Osborne then this country would probably be in line for a large rebate, similarly to France! This stuff is manna from heaven for UKIP.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage said:


David Cameron once claimed that he had reduced the EU budget - but the UK contribution went up - and now, quite incredibly, our contribution goes up a second time. It's just outrageous.

The EU is like a thirsty vampire feasting on UK taxpayers' blood. We need to protect the innocent victims, who are us.

– Nigel Farage




Mr Farage told the Press Association that Mr Cameron is in "real political trouble".


Yes, it's outrageous, but that's how the European Union works.

He's in a very weak position. He can do nothing about this.

And I think, really, he's now being pushed into a position where, unless he brings forward his referendum promise, I think he's in real political trouble.

– Nigel Farage
