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.

He was walking tall yesterday, but resembles a midget to-day!






Who has plucked his balloon!

The last of the magicians!




Perhaps, the Chef can make a casserole out of it!

Perhaps why George and his budget are going down a bomb.

Yes it's a huge total but nothing like the figure had Ballsup been in No 11, let's not forget he wanted to borrow more, as did Kitchen-ed.
2517

And the market was borrowing like hell at the same time!

Fred don't say your a Labour supporter as well !!

2517,


Sometimes, I prefer them to the tories.

The present lot of tories are a party for disaster.

2517,

Is Dodgy Dave going to continue to chicken out of debate with Nigel and Ed?

Wonder why?

Fortunately for the UK George held the purse strings, not Ballsup. Thanks to G O's policies the UK is coming out of the mire that Labour had left us in.
2517

Debate---I have no idea but he obviously has his reasons, why else would he not engage Ed whom he has continually out pointed.
2517

Don't the tory party funders have a responsibility for the mess in 2006-2010?

Vince Cable, a couple of days ago prior to the budget:

"The UK economy was 'a basket case' when the current government coalition took it over."

As to whose exact fault it was, is debatable. Nevertheless, at the time it was allowed to become such a basket case, the goverment of the day was Labour.

696---Exactly
2517

THE BUDGET
i have now got my copy of FT so there's plenty of sensible and balanced stuff to digest

apart from a slab of "spite and envy tax" that labour would have imposed, the real question between the parties is not so much as should there be further spending cuts, but rather, how and where shall we implement them and over how long a period

Has there ever been a labour gov that didn't break the bank?

there's certainly been a few conservative gov'ts that have thrown cash around like confetti too

Max and Exec.

I save up and buy both of you a pair of glasses to replace the worn out ones you use now.

I'm sure there has c.


Fred.

Can you expand on the glasses bit?

What you are not reading in the mainstream media:


* Last night, Greece rebuffed an EC order not to pass the Relief Bill in Athens, and the law was enacted by a huge majority including those with a murky past of Troika collaboration.

* Banco Madrid filed for bankruptcy yesterday, and won’t be bailed out by the Rajoy Government.

* At the last US stress test, both Santander and Deutsche banks were bluntly told by the Fed that that business models “left enormous doubts” about their ability to withstand an “event”.

* The Italian toxic loans figure went up €185bn in January 2015.

* Yesterday, the ECB opened its multi-billion euro f**k-off sign in Frankfurt. The event was celebrated by violent demonstrations from start to finish.

* Several Troikanauts have come out publicly over the last week to say that the Austro-German banking contagion is a far bigger issue than Greece.

* Three days ago, France’s persistent deficit went unpunished: no austerity, no IMF, no Troika, no Schäuble screaming in meetings, no Draghi cutting off their QE liquidity. One law for the rich, and another for the poor.
