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.

Amid increasing negativity about the government and personal economic prospects, French Euroscepticism is on the rise

Last Friday the French government was forced to defend France’s credit-worthiness after Standard and Poor’s (S&P) downgraded their credit rating for the second time in as many years. S&P blamed the rating on the inability of reforms to raise growth prospects.

However, new research conducted for YouGov’s monthly EuroTrack survey shows that economic pessimism and government disapproval were ticking up even before news arrived about the credit downgrade. The research shows that economic and political discontent have apparently even spilled over into French attitudes towards the EU, with an equal number now interested in leaving the Union as wish to stay.

The most recent survey, conducted between October 28th and November 4th, shows one-third (33%) of French people would now vote to leave the EU, virtually the same number as would like to say in (34%). This is a low-point for French sentiment about EU membership, just as sentiment in Britain reaches its most EU-friendly level since January.

Hollande’s economic and social policies – which include raising the a top-income tax rate to 75% and introducing a new 'eco-tax' on heavy goods vehicles used by farmers – have caused dramatic backlash in some parts of France. Even today, Paris Armistice Day ceremonies, led by the French president, were disrupted by protesters chanting ‘Hollande resign!’

Hays Hays Hays........

Bedroom tax debate starts at about 12.30 to 12.45, acording to top totty Luciana Berger LAB who as just tweeted me. Should be on parliament channel.

Bedroom tax (although that,s the wrong name) is very popular with the public - around 80%

You ought to meet her dad gf, a real charmer.

Didn't you know that Luciana Berger‏ read's these threads

Watching the debate, I hadn,'t realised that Labour introduced the bedroom tax for private accommodation and announced that they intended to extend it to social housing. Once again Labour are shown to be hypocrites.

The same is true of the Libs. They are full of millionaires. Lynne Featherstone (Lib) is hugely wealthy due to owning the Ryness chain of electrical shops.

Is a labour hypocrite the equivalent of a tory liar?

People are complaining about privately educated people becoming MPs. Tony Benn went to the exclusive private school Westminster and was at one time Viscount Stansgate.

Alders, I am so glad of that. Ive already complemented her on twitter on her legs and outstanding looks, ive took it for granted shes a very inteligent individual.

Max not true.........

Career
