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.

There are quite a few Bees living in flats!

"What is our task? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in.

David Lloyd George" 1918,

Promises?

It only affects those who have large mortgages on the properties as it is to do with the tax relief not being allowed. If you own the properties outright then it won't be a problem. The richest landlords who own the properties will be fine. If you have been piggy backing the properties by using each one as security for a mortgage on the next one you will probably have to sell up. It may reduce house prices. It is about time the buy to let sector was curbed.

Boothroyd: Labour risks 'ending up on scrapheap of history'

The former Speaker of the House of Commons, Baroness Boothroyd has become the latest political heavyweight to warn Labour against moving left as Jeremy Corbyn leads the race to become party leader.

The ex-Labour MP warned the hard left was "deluding a new generation with the same claptrap that it took my generation decades to discard" in an article for the Sunday Times.

Baroness Boothroyd, now an independent peer in the House of Lords, said the party was refighting 1980s ideological battles and risked "ending up on the scrapheap of history because of its own foolishness and self-inflicted wounds".

She wrote: "My old party is galloping towards the precipice. I urge it to heed the jagged rocks before it is too late."

The warning is the latest in a string of attacks from other senior Labour figures including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Miliband.

A million people in North Korea have 'volunteered' to fight in a war with the south.

Cynic

The EU was set up in part to counter a resurgent of neo-Fascism , but what it is doing now with its open border and uncontrolled immigration policy is doing the opposite.

Hays,

Are they members of UKIP as well?

aldo - no doubt that i'm thick, but what has your post to do with the comment that i made?

The neo-fascism is a red herring. The EU was set up to prevent inter state conflicts and wars within Europe. At the time Fascism was a perceived threat, but in reality is was fear of Germany in the future. It is worth noting that France's nuclear weapons were targeted on Germany until relatively recently.

I've had a good idea ,why don't we all start driving big muscle cars ,that will end the over supply of oil problem ,i can't fix China but that's a start .

The new-tory UK morality!



or is it?

The new tory morality!

For F.cks sake lighten up Fred !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mean like this?

Was IDS trained in the gulags?

He is a real delightful ??

Doesn't he have clean hands!

Richard Murphy, the self styled economist, who creates Corbyn's economic plans has said the Corbyn will sack the governor of the BoE if he refuses to print free money. Richard Murphy is a tax accountant. He published an article in the Guardian telling people how to avoid paying tax and Ni when employing a nanny. He advises the TUC and Unite on tax affairs.

Hays,

do you use him?

I blame Cameron and Osborne for the collapse of the stock market.

If they hadn't been on holidays they could have prevented it, just like they blamed Brown for his failures and incompetence.

What a government of charlatans.
