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.

Here......... If 1.6 million people are being denied benefits, that doesn’t stop them being unemployed.

Therefore the true unemployment figure should be almost twice as high as stated, at a massive 3.51 million.

That’s before other elements, such as the Work Programme, have been taken into account!


so thats 4.5 million unemployed.

Fat Dave as lied to us again.

Not being denied benefits. Maybe not following benefits rules!

Oh fuck off Haystack, you know the figs are bollox!

Yes I think he probably does Max -):

... Night all.

The figures are reported by the ONS, which is independent of the government.

It is also particularly interesting that Miliband and his gang did not query the figures. It there was anything wrong with the figures they would have on the attack. In reality they just sat there and accepted all the good news looking miserable. No one from Labour ever queries the data.

cynic we will be very close to a gold field site that's all I know . its for research

Haze,

I suggest you look at the ONS figures more closely and ask your tutor to help you!

the further delay on releasing the chilcot report is an absolute disgrace, though i have no idea who is to blame
even the guardian writes, "Chilcot: we know Blair was to blame for Iraq"

blair makes "the teflon don" look like fly paper

Yes, but why are the tories going along with it?

don't know .... maybe publishing it so close to the election would be considered unsporting, though why it was not issued a year or more ago is another q
story is that the cia and other ami interests do not want it published

SNP lead in latest poll as Scottish Labour's Jim Murphy struggles to win voters over




In 2010, Labour received 42 per cent of the Scottish vote, compared to the SNP’s 19.9 per cent

New Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy appears to be failing to make an impact on voters, as the Scottish National Party lead by 28 points on 52 per cent compared to Labour’s 24 per cent.



An Ipsos MORI poll, commissioned by STV, shows Labour would be humiliated in Scotland by the SNP if the general election were held today. Around 34 per cent of voters said they were satisfied with Murphy's performance.





This would leave Labour with just four seats in Scotland compared to its current 40. The Lib Dems are polling at four per cent, which would mean that they would lose all of their MPs in Scotland: including chief secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander.



Endangered species


The figures, which exclude those unsure of how they will vote in May 2015, were taken from 1001 participants – who were asked how they would vote if there was a general election tomorrow - surveyed between 12-19 January.

They were asked how they would vote "if there was a general election tomorrow".





In 2010, Labour received 42 per cent of the Scottish vote, compared to the SNP’s 19.9 per cent.

the q then is where would snp mps align themselves

They said they wont sign up with the tories at any price, limits things a bit.

But who knows when the going gets rough...all of them would sign up with the devil if it got them power.

Yes, but why are the tories going along with it?

Perhaps, they were looking through the "lost" files during Thatcher's and Leon Brittan's period in office.


Wonder what Tory Central Office has to say, if, as is said, they have been found?

The mantras maybe to smother them again!

Max - Spot on! cynic - Nicola also says she will go with Labour only if they abandon Trident. Wee Alex (twat)?

Labour are history in Scotland!

scams
much more pernicious than the fairly standard type that fred mentioned, is the one that tells you that your Google Chrome needs to be updated, always presupposing that you run that!
though it looks completely legit, do not do so, for though it is quite easy to elminate after the event should you do so, it's a real pain

chris - it is fortunate for SNP that the independence vote went against them ..... a snippet on the news last night re aberdeen is the tip of the iceberg
