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.

i don't like that the DC's father set up some sort of family trust in panama (and biz for others it would seem)
however, that was not of the son's doing nor remotely in his control
however, as far as DC himself is concerned, it looks that he repatriated the money (broke up the trust?) and paid the tax
arguably he should have done it sooner
the quantum is scarcely huge and much less than some of the false claims made by some MPs - and we won't even mention the commonplace abuse amongst the eurocrats
nevertheless, the principle is the same, and no doubt a full picture of sorts will emerge in the coming days

Once more JB is advertising his mind reading talents and picking heroes for me and others.
I think if he reads my posting I derided Blair when he was PM and subsequently.
Perhaps, like some con artists he distorts for his own satisfaction the written facts. A failing of quite a few in the Nasty Party.

I'm surprised you lot are falling out about the fact, that 'all politicians are the same and just 'in it' for their own ends'.

Exec your bang on ,they are mostly all the same, except Stan and Fred love Labour so much they can do no wrong ,imagine voting for the murderer above.

"All politicians are the same"
Yes but some have a lot more morals then others...
Like those who have put the country BEFORE their careers, who stand up for their principles..
Not many from the Labour party have gone against the leadership line of being PRO-EU sycophants, those putting their careers first no matter what, they're not bothered about the indigenous workers and the effect of unlimited immigration...You expect the LibDems to be fawning europhiles thats a given, its in their make-up...

Why should any Union want to stay in EU , surely any foreign workers coming here wouldn't be interested in joining a union , excuse my ignorance .

Equivalent to saying the present tory and UKIP parties are a bunch of neofascists.

There are three new EU referendum polls. ICM and YouGov have both published polls conducted online and showing one point leads for REMAIN. ICM’s figures are REMAIN 44%, LEAVE 43%, DK 13%, YouGov’s are REMAN 39%, LEAVE 28%, DK/WNV 23%.
There was also new ORB telephone poll for the Telegraph. This is a little more interesting. This poll shows a seven point lead for REMAIN (REMAIN 51%, LEAVE 44%, DK 5%).

interesting sign of the times
we advertised in our local paper for a part-time bookkeeper+
flexible hours possible and decent conditions
we had 30 applicants, with none via agencies
though it was a pretty nice job in many ways, it is of concern just how many were looking for a new position of some kind
