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.

Re council tax of £10,000 per year------Headline grabbing---hit the rich. Of course nobody further down the chain would have to pay more council tax----in your dreams.

If Labour had won the 2010 election we would have local council officials visiting our properties to see if any improvements had been made, if so then your council tax would increase.

The Cons and Brexiters alternative to May and Hammond!

despite JC's inevitable ramblings, the market thinks the budget is ok - as indeed did i ..... no doubt there will be some devil in the final detail, but i still reckon i'll be happy enough

RIP.

Poor old Fred ,still here moaning i see . As your getting on now Fred why don't you just enjoy yourself ?

he thoroughly enjoys moaning .... leave the poor old git alone :-)

Just a thought .

He'll be back when The Guardian has told him what he thinks.

Martini.

Have they let you out of your padded cell again?

A budget preparing for a crash.

What a bunch of incompetents.

Actually Fred, it's not a bad budget, spreadsheet phil has nicked a few quid here and dished out a few quid there...broadly neutral.

Unlike the bearded one, who promises zillions of free money to all and sundry without the basis for any of it. That's the wonder of opposition, you can promise what you like cos you wont actually have to deliver.


Even your favourite organ was scratching around for something to moan about:

I want to live in a world where there are free PS4 Pros for all and VR sets for students and the children. That's the kind of world I want. Don't you?

I think that would be better than this lot KidA , MS-13 gang behead man in park in Washington DC . BBC , reminds you of certain organisations .

This is what happens when you get hordes of unemployed tossers with nothing to do , god help us in the future .

Looks like Comrade Corby is taking labour full loony..



Momentum loyalty test planned for would-be Labour MPs


Contenders asked to sign contract to back Corbyn’s objectives and party manifesto to win group’s support

Leftwing pressure group Momentum is asking Labour parliamentary contenders to sign a contract that ties them to the “political objectives” set out in the organisation’s constitution to secure its support in upcoming selection battles, the Observer has learned.

Several contenders to be Labour candidates in marginal seats are understood to have signed the contract. The 13-point “political accord for Momentum-backed candidates” asks candidates to “work to ensure the Labour manifesto (subject to future policy development) is fully implemented once Labour are in government”.


Included in the signed contract is the commitment to “revitalise the Labour party by building on the values, energy and enthusiasm of the Jeremy for Leader campaign”. Some Labour MPs are known to be alarmed by the move, following an attempt by Labour activists to unseat the leader of Haringey council last month. Claire Kober fought off a challenge to win reselection in her ward, but it was seen as a warning that Momentum plans to support candidates that back Jeremy Corbyn at all levels of the party.

One Labour MP, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “It reflects a Stalinist approach to politics that Momentum would come up with such a contract for candidates. It has worrying implications for our democracy that there could be MPs in parliament who have signed away their right to independent judgment,” he said.

I suppose it is better than the present fascist 1930's approach of the present tory/ukipper right wing government at the present government's reactionaries and Colonel Blimps bending to populist ideas to feather their own nests.

Of course, the latter propped up with bribes from off-shore tax havens.

You've missed it completely Fred.


Clue: Corby isn't in charge...he's just a figure head.

That should be a relief to you.

What's next free badge/t'shirt when you purchase the Little Red Book. God help us if these loon tunes get into Downing Street!

It may surprise you Fred, but you are supporting the 1%..
