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.

Your welcome anytime hilary.
Please stop getting upset about your mistake with the EAW, we all make mistakes.
Id rather have someone any day who owns up to there mistake like I will have to, to Cynic come just before the GE over our Interest rates increase spat.
He will get a groveling sincere apology from me here on this thread in front of other posters.
I have no shame or loss of face on that, he simply called it right and I called it wrong, nothing wrong with that it happens in every day life.

That's funny coming from you gf, you have been getting personal on this bulletin board for weeks , even years. It's probably why so many posters have you filtered.I was merely pointing out to Hilary that probably most of what she posts goes totally over the top of your head.

Nigel Farage: UKIP could do deal with Labour
UKIP could support a minority Labour government after the next general election, Nigel Farage has said.
Asked by the New Statesman if he could back Ed Miliband as prime minister, he said: "I'd do a deal with the Devil if he got me what I wanted."
The Conservatives have promised a referendum on UK membership of the EU in 2017. Labour will only offer a vote if Brussels demands fresh powers.
Labour said the party was "aiming for victory and a majority government".
In the question and answer style article, Mr Farage was asked what he would do if Mr Miliband said to him: "Look, Nigel, can I have your eight to ten MPs in the coalition and we give you an in-out referendum?"
Mr Farage replied: "That would depend when the referendum was, and the terms."
But pressed on whether he was ruling a coalition out, he replied: "Of course not."

DB4.
Read what I wrote again.
And then engage the few grey cells if you have any left!
The SNP wouldn't go into a pub with the Cons. even if it was the last pub in town.

Workfare Is Replacing Paid Jobs And The Tax Payer Is Funding It: Just Ask @BulkyBobsLtd
Posted on November 12, 2014 by johnny void | 29 comments
bulky-bobs-truckA protest is planned in Liverpool outside the premises of waste collection firm Bulky Bobs after it was revealed that the so-called social enterprise are using workfare.
Bulky Bobs have a contract with Liverpool City Council to collect large items of household waste. This is the kind of work which was once carried out by local authorities but is now outsourced to the private and voluntary sectors. Bulky Bobs drive round in vans proudly emblazoned with the council’s logo. But according to the Liverpool branch of the IWW Union, many of the people doing this work are not getting paid:
“[...] there is one paid manager in the store (who used to work for the company that is now LearnDirect which is one of the major ‘providers’) and the rest of the staff are on workfare or ‘volunteers’. Likewise, the connected company FRC (Furniture Resource Centre) has a warehouse on Brunswick Dock which runs on workfare, as do its vans which collect and deliver to Bulky Bobs.”
FRC Ltd, who own Bulky Bobs, say in this report (pdf), that they made 11 posts redundant in 2012/13, including operational staff. In a clear indication of workfare being used to replace paid jobs, in the same document they admit forcing people to work for no wages on the Mandatory Work Activity scheme. Even more appallingly, they say they are receiving tax-payers money to go with their free forced workers.
FRC-workfareOf course they don’t admit this on their barely functioning shit website where they lie that placements are voluntary:
frc-workfare1
The IWW will be holding a protest outside Bulky Bob’s shop on London Road, Liverpool on Saturday 22nd November at 11am and have called on people to join them. Please help by sharing the facebook page and in the meantime everone’s piling in on twitter @BulkyBobsLtd

That is an accepted fact Fred, Salmond said that publicly weeks ago so no news there. What point are you trying to make?

GF,
Do you know one thing, which amazes me is that after the Crash in 2008 that the coalition government (The one which would walk on water.) has allowed the Financial services money lenders to rob blind the General Tax Payer.
Hide their profits abroad and corruptly use their positions.
This tory lot friends of the city are to b, close.
Sorry, forgot they went to the same schools and universities and play at the same golf clubs and use the same overseas banks in the Cayman isles, Switzerland and Austria etc..
What a corrupt state the UK is becoming. Missing records. phone tapping and closed courts.

Farage may have no MPs. Don't forget that any MPs gained now have to be elected again at the GE.
