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.

LOL that from a bloke who supports Giddeon Osbourne a man who as missed 100% of his economic targets and as had to move the goal posts to con people he is getting the Deficit down LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL .

Increased wages??????? again LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ....0.5% inflation gives him a chance to say a 1% wage rise is a big thing LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

The working class have now got the measure of Dodgy Dave and cunning Giddeon.

Ask yourself why as he launched 4% pensioners bonds just before the GE......LOL, we all know why because 0.5% interest rates from the Banks arent going to please pensioners.

The Tories day is over they are a party of the past. Good riddance.

Two Eds hid truth about global crash: Miliband and Balls knew UK economy was due to 'fall off a cliff' a year before it happened... but kept it a secret

The pair reportedly urged Gordon Brown to call a snap election in 2008

Knew it was only way Labour could hold power once economy crumbled

George Osborne said revelation ‘exposed cynicism’ of Balls and Miliband

Labour leader has not denied claim, dismissing it as ‘ancient history’

The claim appears in explosive new memoir of Martin Winter - who helped turn Miliband into an MP

Max.

I have sent that P55164 to all my Christian friends.

Good enough to post once or twice again, after a hazy mantra!

Labour will hardly discuss anything. Miliband only gives speeches when only the faithful are present. Labour won't let him speak to real people as they fear a 'bigoted woman' moment. At some stage he is going to look an idiot again, as they can't lock him away all the time. His most recent speech was at the Fabian society where he feels safe.

Haze,

Always thought of you as the "man on the bus"!

Now realise, that I was really thinking of you as "the man off his trolley"!

Before we draw up the drawbridges I think we should consider the countries that the West milked for years.

the above cartoon can be interpreted in any number of ways

islamic extremism is not a result of whatever nonsense you are trying to promote, any more than the crusades were religiously based

is it not quite amusing and the timing purely coincidental that bambi's and his millions are now being investigated - see ST headlines

i'm sure the sunday mirror and its ilk will be publishing similar coincidental stories to cast shadows or worse on the tories

Re: Miliband 2008 and possible economic crash.

From my notes, many thought that the economy was over heating as far back 2004-6 onward and were pointing to the inflation in housing and general borrowing etc..

The tories were preaching further deregulation of the City and Financial Services, who were pushing out money, derivatives and gambling like a casino.

(Look back at some threads on Moneyam and some were thinking of moving out of "property".)

The problem with "democracy" as "practiced" is when it should go against general public "general" opinion, the government "ducks" its responsibility, as can be seen by the coalition and especially this tory element which is attempting to be a "populist" party, but has twisted and turned so much, the voters don't know what it really stands for.

Napoleon,

Is this more to your liking,

i know you have a fixation for attaching great numbers of cartoons every day, but .....

so what point are you trying to make this time?
are you trying to imply that this all the west's fault or some similar twaddle?

No,

Just trying to get you to think, rather than just respond!

Alf, you have demonstrated on a daily basis that you have no ears, but now your eyes don't seem to clever either... and as for your brain who knows.

When's your next Mot at the Docs due? -):

Balls and Miliband knew about the 2008 crash but failed to act, new book claims
The Labour leader and shadow chancellor deny claims they wanted to hold an early election in 2007 because they knew the economy was about to collapse

Ed Miliband and Ed Balls have flatly denied claims they wanted to hold an early general election in 2007 because they knew the economy was about to "fall off a cliff".

The allegation is made in a new book by former mayor of Doncaster Martin Winter, who helped the Labour leader secure his Commons seat.

Mr Winter left the Labour Party in 2008 following internal arguments over whether he could stand for a third term.

According to extracts in the Mail on Sunday, Mr Miliband is said to have confided in Mr Winter and his partner Carolyne Hunter two weeks after Gordon Brown abandoned plans for a snap poll.

He reportedly told them: "Ed Balls was desperate for us to go now ... The simple fact is the economy is going to fall off a cliff and this was our best chance of winning.

the next two or three years and we'll get the blame for it; so it was either going now and risk losing or wait and know that we're going to lose."

Mr Brown ruled out an election in October 2007. The scale of the economic crisis engulfing Britain became clear the following year.

A spokesman for Mr Miliband dismissed the claim. "This report is untrue," he said.

"It is tittle-tattle, a third-hand report of a conversation more than seven years ago. Complete nonsense.

"No-one had any sense of the scale of the global banking crisis which emerged in 2008."

A spokesman for Mr Balls said: "Everyone knows Ed Balls wanted an early Election in 2007, but the economy was nothing to do with it."

But Chancellor George Osborne told the newspaper: "The political cynicism and opportunism of Ed Balls and Ed Miliband has been exposed.

"This first-hand account shows Balls and Miliband were more interested in saving their own skins than saving the British economy.'

The book also describes a nine-and-a-half-week period when Mr Miliband stayed with the couple and their children while trying to become the Labour candidate for Doncaster in 2005.

Mr Winter, who said he is speaking out because he has lost faith in Mr Miliband, said he was "patronising" to the children, accidentally set fire to an office, and locked himself in a house by mistake.

Giving his assessment of the Labour leader - who was an aide to Mr Brown at the time - Mr Winter said: "He is arrogant, untrustworthy and procrastinates over everything.

"He is ignorant of the real values of ordinary working-class voters and holds his nose at their lifestyle."

Much the same as the other two.


"He is ignorant of the real values of ordinary working-class voters and holds his nose at their lifestyle."

Max interesting that map of Britain.

From that it looks like a lab/libdem coalition.

The SNP with the Tories wouldnt be enough not that the SNP would touch the Tories.

That wouldnt be too bad as the Lib/dems have more in common with labour than with the Tories.

Hays on his soap box today, the writing is on the wall Tory Boy.

Milly is far craftier than you thought.

Building up to his peak going up to the GE........camoron peaked far too early........6 months ago.
