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.

Picture the scene. You have just filmed a hard-hitting party political broadcast with a 91 year old war hero. It’s strong stuff, and you think it will get people interested in your party. So, at the end of the PPB, you put your party’s website up on the screen. Except, instead of the correct URL (www.labour.org.uk/harry), you send them to www.labour.org/harry, a parked domain that belongs to someone else and used to for  job recruitment. “But we don’t need millions for this election, as we’re going to win the internetz.”

The vote by the last Bank of England Monetary Pilicy Committee was 9-0 in favour of keeping interest rates the same.

Worth a read I thought

Miliband comprehensively humbled by Cameron in PMQs today. Miliband looked like a whipped dog hanging his head.

It looks like we are heading for a Labour landfill at the GE.

saudi?

Just as well it wasn't on a motorway since we have all these new disguised speed cameras in operation now!

LOL LOL LOL LOL Hays, your wearing blinkers again, keep off the crack.

Andrew Neal reveled some excelent figures on the the true state of employment this lunchtime.

4.5 million more unemployed now than when Labour were in government, and have you noticed how the Tories always use the number of people in work.........what they dont tell you is that the number of people living in this country as risen way ahead of the relevant % increase in employment.

Actual hours worked is the first question?

Overall production figure the second?

Hourly pay rates for manual and unskilled work would be the third?

Total Hours worked in manual or unskilled work?

Total benefit payments would be the fourth?

Fred just out SKY NEWS...........THATCHER actualy saw the file on the peados responsible for the childrens home scandal and did nothing about it. It still exists and will be handed over to the enquiry.

She apparently told one of her cabinet to calm down.

i was interested to watch a snippet on tv yesterday when a driver from hermes was interviewed and also a senior manager from the company

hermes pay 45/50p per drop and this guy was working all hours to make £80/100 pd gross

hermes rationalised that being self-employed gave their drivers lots of flexibility - eg could work hours to suit (believe that and you'll believe anything!) - and gave it some fancy tarted-up name

of course the real truth, as we all know, is that these companies and others like them, force self-employment to avoid all the admin and costs and liability for benefits that would accrue were these people on their books
