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.

They had to throw him a carrot.

Once again Tramp will not be allowed to stand.

What a victory Dave ,you are just the best ,no tax on Tampons it's enough to make me vote in .

'Call me Dave' has been trumpeting his success in achieving the abolishment of the TAMPON tax...For feck sake can you believe the HOLLOWNESS and deception of this so called victory!! And the eu's patronising confirmation of 'ALLOWING' the UK to abolish TAMPON tax, that will save women around 2 fricking pounds 'A YEAR' !!!

And its not certain to go through...Just like all EU rule changes its got to go through the red tape and to be approved by the various commitee's and law makers, and could take a year....

But Tampon Dave marks up a victory!

A Tax Free....

From the Reuters article(post 69134)..

"It showed we can come to Brussels and get people to listen" A British government spokesperson said.

'EU officials said cameron persuaded his peers to give special mention to tampons because all of them are anxious that he wins the referendum'

HAHAHALOLOLOL!!! Just a lying bunch of deceptive clowns!!!...

He's just showed what a great negotiator he really is ,i mean really you have to put him in the same bracket as Churchill .
Think of Maggie when she sat at the table demanding "i want my money back" until they all fell asleep at 3 am ,she must be looking down at Dave with such affection, or is she saying "you stupid posh twat taking the British people for fools".

Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has resigned, citing pressure to make cuts to disability benefits. Here is the full text of his letter:

"I am incredibly proud of the welfare reforms that the government has delivered over the last five years. Those reforms have helped to generate record rates of employment and in particular a substantial reduction in workless households.

As you know, the advancement of social justice was my driving reason for becoming part of your ministerial team and I continue to be grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to serve. You have appointed good colleagues to my department who I have enjoyed working with. It has been a particular privilege to work with with excellent civil servants and the outstanding Lord Freud and other ministers including my present team, throughout all of my time at the Department of Work and Pensions.

I truly believe that we have made changes that will greatly improve the life chances of the most disadvantaged people in this country and increase their opportunities to thrive. A nation's commitment to the least advantaged should include the provision of a generous safety-net but it should also include incentive structures and practical assistance programmes to help them live independently of the state. Together, we've made enormous strides towards building a system of social security that gets the balance right between state help and self help.

Throughout these years, because of the perilous public finances we inherited from the last Labour administration, difficult cuts have been necessary. I have found some of these cuts easier to justify than others but aware of the economic situation and determined to be a team player I have accepted their necessity.

You are aware that I believe the cuts would have been even fairer to younger families and people of working age if we had been willing to reduce some of the benefits given to better-off pensioners but I have attempted to work within the constraints that you and the chancellor set.

I have for some time and rather reluctantly come to believe that the latest changes to benefits to the disabled and the context in which they've been made are, a compromise too far. While they are defensible in narrow terms, given the continuing deficit, they are not defensible in the way they were placed within a Budget that benefits higher earning taxpayers. They should have instead been part of a wider process to engage others in finding the best way to better focus resources on those most in need.

I am unable to watch passively whilst certain policies are enacted in order to meet the fiscal self imposed restraints that I believe are more and more perceived as distinctly political rather than in the national economic interest.

Too often my team and I have been pressured in the immediate run up to a budget or fiscal event to deliver yet more reductions to the working age benefit bill. There has been too much emphasis on money saving exercises and not enough awareness from the Treasury, in particular, that the government's vision of a new welfare-to-work system could not be repeatedly salami-sliced.

It is therefore with enormous regret that I have decided to resign. You should be very proud of what this government has done on deficit reduction, corporate competitiveness, education reforms and devolution of power. I hope as the government goes forward you can look again, however, at the balance of the cuts you have insisted upon and wonder if enough has been done to ensure "we are all in this together".

One up George's bum!

Hays, Hays,

Quick, hurry down to Con Party HQ and ask for the spin on IDS and the Tory party split.

What about panty pads , is this discrimination .

Go north for Easter hols, Cameron tells Britons, but he's off to Lanzarote

The Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron, whose Cumbrian constituency was hit hard by the floods, said: “The prime minister previously said people should visit the north, but like virtually everything that comes out of his mouth what he actually meant was everyone else and not himself.
