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.

Good deal, or another slash and burn stitch up?



Tata Steel deal saves 4,400 UK jobs

Tata Steel has agreed the sale of its UK long products business to investment group Greybull Capital for a “nominal” fee in a deal that will revive the British Steel brand and could save 4,400 jobs.

The deal will save a steelworks in Scunthorpe, two mills in Teesside, an engineering workshop in Workington, a design consultancy in York, and associated distribution facilities, as well as a mill in northern France.

Tata has been in talks with Greybull since late 2015 on the sale of its long products business. The agreement does not include the Port Talbot steelworks or the rest of Tata’s UK business, which employs about 15,000 staff, for which it is seeking a buyer after putting it put for sale last month.

Stan/Fred instead of making juvenile remarks on my bb moniker,
why don't either of you answer/reply to any of the post i've made in
reply to either's of yours???...

Obviously neither of you have a reply, because there is no sensible answer....

The only reply that suits you lot at the moment:

Which one are you Granny?

Whenever stan gets an intellectual arse slapping he puts up cartoons in reply...

Intelligent response...Me thinks not!

grannyboy ,he never answers any question ,just like Fred ,that would mean having some kind of opinion .
I think they are both drunks .

Yes i've noticed that jimmy b...Both of them post imbicilic mutterings
then when someone responds, you don't get a reasoned reply but cartoons..LMAO!

You lot getting intellectual or intelligent.. now that is a laugh -):

i see you guys have found nothing better to do than slag each other off all day, no doubt interspersed with some shouting about DC and how he shouldn't be allowed to be wealthy, let alone his family taking vanilla precautions to avoid iht

Your right cynic except i don't have a problem with Cameron's money, he to me hasn't done anything wrong ,i have a problem with the 9 million of our money he is spending on a leaflet.
And while your at it Trevor Phillips is bang on the money .

Granny,

I doubt you would understand any answer given, preferring your hold to your own prejudices.

However, you could start for yourself with a dictionary to check the spelling and meaning of the words you use.

(I do.)

I think Dodgy Dave should be canonised and then shot out of gun.

A perfect icon of virtue for the con party.

St Dodgy Dave patron saint of the neo-cons.

PS.

I see little gain from replying to rantings from "little englanders".

trevor phillips article etc
apparently the majority(?) of muslims think that homosexuality should once again be outlawed in this country

nothing wrong with that opinion (even if i do not concur), just as there is nothing wrong with a view that hanging should be brought back (with which i also do not agree)

I think you need to read the full article and maybe watch the programme this week .

probably ..... but at least i seem to have changed today's subject :-)

It wasn't a subject because as you know Fred and Stan would not dare read it or speak about it in case there was some truth in what Trevor Phillips says.

I wouldn't compare Stan to a Muppet. They are all quite endearing.

I have no problem with my spelling or meanings, unlike your self and botty buddy Stan..

I DO have a problem with individuals who 'try' to portray themselves as being able to put a reasoned debate forward 'instead' of stating untruths and falsehoods, and then when they're challenged post cartoons in what they believe to be an acceptable reply.

MORONS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!!..

But expect nothing less from bleeding heart liberals when they're opposed....

Corbyn has spoken too soon!

Corbyn has eventually located his tax return for the last year – the most interesting thing is that he appears to have filed it late. Was he fined?

What isn’t disclosed is that in previous years Jezza made a significant amount of income from offshore sources. In the last few years he declared £5,000 in payments from Press TV, the Iranian state television channel, and another £5,000 from Al-Jazeera, the Doha-based Qatar-backed channel. Not to mention junkets to the Middle East, South America and elsewhere worth tens of thousands paid for by foreign governments. The corporate tax rate in Qatar is just 10%…

UPDATE: Corbyn’s spokesman confirms Jezza was fined £100 for filing his tax return late.
