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.

Hilary stop getting your knickers in a twist, I dont respond to people who use that type of language.

You have been warned once before remember by board members.

One who was a true Lady who said you should wash your mouth out with soap and water.

Hilary, and that's coming from a poster who has called me "a pleb", "scum" and "a thug".

Too much coke tonight gf.

These REDS do get their knickers in a twist, pages and pages of twaddle and that's just Fred. God knows what Billy Bollox has been wittering on about. An awful lot of emails flying about.

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 10th November - Con 32%, Lab 33%, LD 6%, UKIP 17%; APP -24

coke cola Max LOL.

Since you have Billy Bollox on filter Chris, the brief version is that he is trying to gain the moral high ground over Hilary because he lost his argument with her quite some time ago and he doesn't respond to people who use "that type of language"!

Doodlebug, youve missed 'box standard wanker' off your list.

db LOL!

Thanks for that. I have Fred and gf on filter. It makes this thread quite civilised.

Hays stop telling porkies its obvious to a blind man you keep switching us back on.

163% Surge In Food Bank Users Just The ‘Tip Of The Iceberg’, Says Trussell Trust

Cameron setting the scene for more slave labour – Order of Truth11/11/2014

Reposted from Order of Truth

camsslIn his continued quest to place the majority of the British population into economic slavery, Cameron announced his intention to tighten welfare reforms which would force people to take low paid jobs.

Having not quite grasped the fact that many of his government’s welfare reforms so far have placed working people into very difficult economic situations – often costing them their homes and responsible for breaking up families – deluded Cameron thinks that further tightening of the welfare system, as well as controlling immigration, is a good thing.

We have already seen the way ‘employment figures’ have been manipulated by the government. The so-called jobs they say they have created are often on zero-hour contracts, part time, or minimum waged positons. It is fact that Cameron and his cronies have done nothing to create a sustainable environment where there are real opportunities for people seeking work.

In real terms the value of wages has dropped dramatically since the Conservative dominated government has been in power while the true cost of living has sky-rocketed – no thanks to welfare reforms and uncontrolled energy prices.

Promoting his anti-EU message, Cameron’s speech at a CBI conference in London included a ‘commitment’ to curbing immigration (including citizens of other EU countries) to ‘tens of thousands’ wherever they come from.

We have heard the same before, and so far the Conservatives have failed to meet their pre-election pledge on immigration.

Cameron said that tighter immigration controls must be matched by reforms to the UK’s welfare and education systems to enable British workers to fill the jobs currently done by foreigners.

However, another fact that he seems unable to grasp is that many immigrants are able to live extremely cheaply in the UK and move around to seek employment so they can save money to take home, where the cost of living is much cheaper. All things are far from equal when comparing foreign workers to UK citizens.

The UK has one of the lowest minimum wages in Europe, and has one of the highest costs of living.

Cameron’s speech is ridiculous in the extreme, and is something we are seeing and hearing much more of from government and Conservative cronies. Last week George Osborne was caught-out over the alleged EU bill where he claimed to be some kind of saviour – the truth was very different.

It is not immigration or foreign workers taking jobs that is the problem. It is the abominable governing of the country since 2010 which has failed to create an environment where employees are valued and where companies are encouraged to create real working opportunities.

Instead of progressing along an evolutionary path we see a return to times when employees were nothing but fodder to make the rich richer – that is the situation we are clearly in today. The rights of employees (and citizens in general) have gradually been eroded and the ability to protest or take meaningful action in response to a worse than useless government have all but disappeared.

Until we see a radical change in thinking of any future elected government, we will see more low-paid, temporary employment with little or no opportunity.

David Lammy: Ed Miliband Won't Win A Majority In 2015

Ed Miliband will not win a majority at the next election, a senior Labour MP has said.

In an interview with The Huffington Post UK, David Lammy predicted the 2015 election, in six months time, would be "phenomenally close". He also warned the Labour leadership against "posturing" on immigration.

Miliband has been under intense pressure in recent days, with Labour MPs anonymously criticising his leadership of the party. Yesterday, the Labour leader was forced to deny there was a "crisis" while former home secretary Alan Johnson, who had been tipped as a replacement leader, felt the need to publicly rule out any leadership ambitions he may have had.

Looking at how divided public opinion is, Lammy said it was difficult "to see any party get[ting] a substantial majority".

No dont think they will, but the SNP is even better than an overall majority far more left wing.

Mansion Tax soon Hays.

CARING LABOUR COUNCIL

By Claire Carter for MailOnline

Published: 11:57, 10 November 2014 | Updated: 14:22, 10 November 2014


A war veteran faces a £70 fine if he leaves his car outside his home after he persuaded council officials to turn the space into a disabled bay, only to have his blue badge taken away months later.



Don Jones, 89, asked Swansea Council to mark up the parking space outside his front door as a designated disabled spot so that he could park there after undergoing a number of knee operations and struggling with arthritis.

But the decorated war veteran has since been reassessed and no longer fits the council criteria to classify him as disabled.

This means he no longer has a blue badge and cannot park in the space outside his house .

The pensioner, who was awarded the Atlantic Star, said: 'I wont be able to park outside my own home without getting a ticket.'

Mr Jones experienced the Blitz during World War Two devastate his home town of Swansea in south Wales and joined the Royal Navy.

He served for two-and-a-half years on board the HMS Barclay Castle and was rewarded for his bravery on the Atlantic convoys.

This is the same council (Labour) that introduced an increase of up to 5000% plus on the ground rent lease, held on a housing estate, comprising young families, disabled and pensioners, one aged 90. The Lease, in one case, shot up from £75 per year, to £3400 per year. Are they rich stock brokers you might well ask, no just a run of the mill, Welsh community. The council see nothing wrong in doing this, even though these same people have been already paying more than anyone else in the Swansea area. The support and condemnation of the horrendous burden placed on these people, not to mention, that the local Estate offices have come out and said their homes are now worthless, has been muted to say the least, both from the Welsh Assemble Government and the Central Labour party. This paper was asked for their support, but ignored the request, in the mean time, these good people continue to live in utter fear.

How to land a dishwasher on a bit of rock!

Well, hardly! The bit of rock is a comet which is millions of miles away and as big as half the mileage distance across London; it's travelling at 31,000 mph; it's full of crags and precipices and only some areas on it are fairly flat.

Hmmm? Sounds very tricky.

The action starts at around 3:30pm GMT but the signals take around 30 minutes to get here. Accordingly, we won't know whether the landing of the dishwasher has actually been a success until around 4pm.

The men in charge are hopefully going to make the dishwasher drill the comet's surface to try to find some amino acids. If they do find some, well, it will be quite nice because we didn't know that before and someone else will make quite a big deal out of the discovery. Others will say, 'God made comets and so God made amino acids and God also made dishwashers too' (and terrorists but he doesn't dig my garden).

The dishwasher is called 'Phil Eye' or 'Philae' for short. Follow the landing, and which goes by the name of the 'The Rosetta Landing', live at:

By the way, this deal isn't modern technology. It has taken 10 years for this dish washer killer driller to get to the comet. Fingers crossed!
