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.

Actually, with the DUP behind her, on the face of it, she is in an excellent and very strong position.

With Arlene Foster, the Democratic Unionist Party leader, the DUP is now a changed party from the days when Ian Paisley led it. The DUP opposes abortion and gay marriage (too late now, though, eh?). The DUP is also opposed to means testing winter fuel payments or abandoning the ‘triple lock’ on state pensions.

However, Arlene is loathed by Sinn Fein, which has refused to return to the Stormont Assembly while Foster is First Minister, leaving Northern Ireland politics in a bit of a state of stagnation.

The DUP has now been catapulted into a position of national influence. This should infuriate Sinn Fein still further and so it is hard to see where the devolved administration can go from here. So Sinn Fein will now hate her guts for sure.

I think the DUP will soften up some of the harder Tory policies and they will both most probably get on fine. There won't be a 'hard border with the south' either. And surely to goodness to help sweeten the deal further, Northern Ireland will also get some tasty 'civil engineering projects' too.

The BBC would like a change because it would stall Brexit negotiations

the bbc will still be pushing for corbyn to form a minority gov't ...... at least their clear allegiance is there for all to see

Captain May has kicked the ball over the bars.

There's certainly a bit of sniggering going on at the Bbc , i feel .

george - a lot of young voters signed up to vote at the last minute .....

as you say, corbyn offered them free jars of sweets, 3-bedroom houses at <£100k and a magic wand that would produce jobs paying £15/20k a year provided they could secure a 2.2 in media studies from piddletown uni

Gullible young voters and die hard Labour left wing voters that just want change regardless of the damage that it might do to the country, and as always a Labour goverment would leave the country with more unemployement - and back to strikes.

Promise the earth deliver poverty for the masses that voted Labour, if they were given a chance to run the Country.

Goldfinger said about this site when he kicked it off on 09 Jun 2005 12:25....yes all that time ago

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment.....".............".seems like nothing has changed which is a shame as there are so many crap BBs out there.

i'm afraid that MAM has very much lost its way
for share discussion, i primarily inhabit FAR9 on advfn where some good ideas come up and, for the most part, it's good tempered too

We should bring the voting age up to 21 until the brain washing from their lefty teachers wears off a bit.

Thx cynic, I am, in general, a read only BB person mainly on LSE but of late the standards there make me want to vomit!

One word out of place on there and the knives are drawn really for personal insults at less that 10 paces.

I had a feeling that tutors , teachers may have had a hand in it as well aldwickkk , as they seemed to want to remain if i remember .

Clock,

Suggest you examine the employment figures produced by the tory propaganda unit carefully.

Cynic,

How many of those "worthless" degrees do you have?

You want to look in on the BBC site Have Your Say , it's just the same there , but quite funny as well .

Hey David10brook, takes two to tango where have you been. As for as Goldfinger is concerned he was banned for life for being a TWAT. If you miss him that much take up cynic's suggestion over the road, he calls himself 3rd Eye (lost count of the many other usernames he uses). Far9 thread? more like Hindsight thread :0)

none; i went from school to NZ and Oz where i got all sorts of jobs for about 18 months
when i came back to uk, i admit i went into the family company, but started in the warehouse where the fabrics came in

at least FAR9 posts far more than just charts without comment as some do here

Depends if your mate has kept up with his meds cynic.

not all the time i'm afraid
even so, a number of comments and companies posted are worth further investigation - far from all of them it must be said, but that is often down to personal preference

Fred1new. If we had limited the amount of people coming into the UK, that are a drain on all public services and over and above that the security services - there would not only be full employment but managable health services - schools etc.
