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.

Not sure why, but every image I see of Farage reminds me of Archie Andrews the ventriloquist dummy and I wonder who is pulling his strings?

I hope he is safe with Camptain Marvel:

Syriza MP: We've won a poisoned chalice


Yanis Varoufakis, a Syriza MP who is tipped to become Greece’s next finance minister, is being interviewed on the BBC’s Today Programme now.

Congratulated on Syriza’s success, Varoufakis replies soberly that:


It’s a poisoned chalice, but I accept your congratulations.

He says Greece has been suffering since authorities decided to “pile the burden on the weakest shoulders”, forcing the country into a slump.

It takes an eight or nine year old to understand this, Varoufakis says, adding:



Fiscal waterboarding has turned us into a debt colony.

But what about the ‘glimmer of light’ recently, when Greece’s recession ended?


Varoufakis dismisses this idea. Prices and income are both falling, he say, which is “a typical case of a Great Depression -- and Europe decided to call it a glimmer of light”.

Syriza MP: We've won a poisoned chalice

well they'll have filled a whole barrel with hemlock if they think they're going to deliver all this nonsense about raising the minimum wage, not charging the elderly for utilities etc etc
who do they think is going to foot the bill?

He says Greece has been suffering since authorities decided to “pile the burden on the weakest shoulders.”

Welcome back Tanks, what club in what Town?

Hoax caller impersonating spy chief put through to UK PM Cameron#


Well that one hoaxer to another hoaxer!

George has realised after 4 years that the economy of the UK is linked to the EU.

I wish he would stop blaming his incompetence on WW2.

Merkerl has said that she expect Greece to fulfill its debt obligations in full. The EU are going to be tough about Greece. One reason is that there is a similar anti austerity party in Spain and they are having elections later this year.

Greece's anti austerity has had to fomr a coalition with the far right Nationalist party as they were two seats short.

The really serious news from Greece is that Demis Roussos has died.

Come on Tanks, As Alf would say... answer the questions -):

Ed Miliband is facing revolt from the loony wing of his party this morning, with 16 Labour MPs issuing an entertaining statement demanding a Greek-style leftwards shift in policy direction. Calling for “an alternative to the continuation of austerity and spending cuts”, the ‘Syriza 16′ want to fund new massive state spending projects by either borrowing, taxing the banks or “printing money”. They also tell Miliband to renationalise the railways and “enhance the role of trade unions”. The signatories to the statement read Guido’s first up against the wall list of

Labour loons:

Diane Abbott, Dave Anderson, Katy Clark, Jeremy Corbyn, John Cryer, Fabian Hamilton, Kelvin Hopkins, Ian Lavery, John McDonnell, Michael Meacher, Ian Mearns, Grahame Morris, Linda Riordan, Steve Rotherham, Jim Sheridan and Chris Williamson.

Fantastic Syriza win: austerity does not work for Greece, for Tory/Lib Dem UK, nor for EU; we all need investment in growth not savage cuts
