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.

Just got back from a remembrance service at a TA barracks. I met some very interesting people. Some had been in Afghanistan and some older ones who had been in Kosovo and NI. One guy was a paratrooper who had been in the SAS.

surprising to many, wentworth is not remotely sniffy as a club, unlike many of the other clubs in the "surrey belt" and in scotland too

anyway, on a much more interesting and serious note, there's an interesting article on www.money.cnn.com entitled "Taxes and spending: What happens if Republicans win the Senate" .... it's well worth a read

CC,
Not sure why you were quoting the Arsenal score last night, but I think you missed the last 30 minutes. 3-1, 3-2, 3-3.
Boom, boom. I'll get me coat.

report . today . immigration as cost the uk over 20 years 170 billion
the government will try to say immigration is good for the uk what they mean is immigration is good for companies who can pay them low wages and the tax payers can pay them credits and housing benefits to live
the uk people who have paid in to the system all their lives struggle to see a doctor
have to wait over 3 months to get a hospital appointment
farmers and low paying companies are the winners not the tax payers .
the facts are all out their to read .so read the report

European migrants to the UK are not a drain on Britain’s finances and pay out far more in taxes than they receive in state benefits, a new study has revealed.
The research by two leading migration economists at University College also reveals that Britain is uniquely successful, even more than Germany, in attracting the most highly skilled and highly educated migrants in Europe.

I would like to see UKIP a little further up the pole.
But aren't the tories quiet about Rochester.
I thought Cameron was going to stride over there with sword in hand a decapitate the Reckless one.
Haven't hear a word about Kelly Tolhurst suckered in to stand.
Would have thought Boris would give her a hand.
Seems he is hiding from Angela behind Theresa skirts.
15 days left for tory collapse.
I wonder what bribes will be offered to prevent further defections?
==================
Looks like Haze has been in charge of the planning of party propaganda machine.

gf yes and all my family .
and proud to fight for my country unlike some .
my grand daughter is in the raf just come home she was shoot in the neck but she is fine and now gone back to base . and she loves it .
only scum desert their country to get a better life instead of fighting for their country
sticking their fingers up to their fellow cousins and their old people who are to old to fight they desert them for their own ends I could never do that .

Its difficult this immigration debate.
On the one hand you have employers in the south of Britain saying they cant do without them and then you have people in the big cities saying they are under cutting us on wages etc etc.
Its a real big problem that we have and there are plusses and minuses.
Basicaly Im all for freedom of movement within the EEC, I dont like people being able to send child benefit back home though. But some of these foreign chaps work so hard. like machines and have no meal breaks etc etc.
What Im against isnt the EEC imigration but the Pakistan movement here.
Imposing there way of life upon us , halal meat etc etc, brides brought in when they already have 3 wifes et etc, they are taking he pith out of the government and as Cyners says this is not a party political point scoring point.

Migrants from outside the EU have taken £120billion more from the state than they paid in taxes over 17 years
Report finds immigrants have cost more in handouts than paid in taxes
Non-European migrants living in Britain have cost £120billion since 1995
By contrast EU migrants since 2000 made a net contribution of £20billion
Research comes at a time when there is public concern over migration
