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.

Apparently between 1997 and 2007 manufacturing production fell by 47%, who was responsible for that.

Every Labour government has left office with the country in debt. This is no coincidence.

What a little slip.....COME ON!!!!!!.

Have you read the deficit myth.

All over twitter last night and this morning.

The Torries should kick the posh boys out bring in Mick Portillo Ken Clarke and John Redwood. Proper Torries not posh muppets. I tell you this the torys will give way to a labour majority next time.

I vote for whom I think will be best for the country overall, and its certainly not the laughing cowboys.

And Haystack every Tory government has left office with unemployment around 5 million plus. This is no coincidence.

Dont want this hidden.....

Joining the communists this morning. Its true though and glad a tory has exposed the myth.

I think Hugh Grant sums up The Nauseating Cameroon’s ducking and weaving against the Press Barons, who know they have him in the palms of their sometime grubby hands.

David Cameron’s Opposition To Leveson






Hugh Grant has said the public are “aghast” at David Cameron’s decision to oppose the statuary underpinning of a new system of press regulation.

In an interview with parliament’s House magazine, the Hollywood actor turned phone hacking campaigner said the prime minister had gone back on his word to support a system of press regulation that would allow him to “look the victims [of phone hacking] in the eye”.

“To say that over and over again and then within hours of a very mild report being published to turn his back on those victims and jump straight back in between the warm sheets with the newspaper barons, I think was an act that the whole country was aghast at.

“And I think maybe the prime minister and those Tories who are opposed to any kinds of statutory underpinning are beginning to see that the country has rumbled that.”

Grant told House that he found Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg “very charming” but that he did not understand why the prime minister had not warned hacking victims he would not support the statutory underpinning of press regulation.

“I can’t pretend that I’m not disappointed that in two meetings with the prime minster with Hacked Off and one meeting which he had with the non-celebrity victims about three weeks ago, he made no mention at all of the fact that any kind of underpinning in law to an independent regulator would be a sticking point.

“And I would have expected the prime minister to make that clear – he was certainly asked. So that’s disappointing. But the other two have been as good as their word from beginning to end.”

National newspaper editors said on Thursday evening that they will put in place the broad proposals of the Leveson Inquiry – apart from the call for statutory underpinning.”

He seems to be gutless once again.

In reality the public don't care about Leaveson and nor should they.

What they truly care about come election day(everytime), is how much brass they have in their back pocket and the squeezed middle this time will have the knives out for call me Dave and Giddeon, thats for sure.

Thats why I along with a lot more of the middle ground want to see a fair fight with labour not a walk over.

Anyway all points read and appreciated even though we dont always agree. Im getting on with updating the chart attack thread.

ALL have a good weekend.

Goldfinger,

Thanks for the reference to the Huffington post.

I think the article summarises the UK's economic state prior to Osborne fairly accurately.


The comment "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" Joseph Goebbels, neatly sums up what the PR and propaganda units are attempting to do, only they are less efficient at it and also in a different era.

=====================

All have a good weekend, beware of myths and fairy stories, and try and keep out of trouble.

Yeah Fuck off Fred! You can fool some of the people etc blah de blah. Wouldn't matter who was in Government you would still be waving your red flag. I can imagine in your younger years your unfortunate wife complaining "You never take me anywhere" Half six Saturday morning you give her a nudge "You coming to the strike meeting?"

Surprised at you GF falling for this shite, how short is your memory, THIRTEEN YEARS, ringing any bells? I can understand (I think) generations believing that the Labour Party was just created solely for the workers, Tony Blair for sure must have destroyed that myth. Gordon Brown worst unelected Prime Minister in history, saved the world apparently, great start selling our gold at the bottom, stand up Sir Fred Goodwin. Wasn't he a Banker,no I spelt that wrong :O)

This picture makes me want to puke, It sums up the total arrogance of these public school boys ...

Reckon the government will come to regret this photo in the next 30 months.

Don't forget that the Labour and Liberal parties are full of public schoolboys. Ed Balls, Nick Clegg, Tony Blair, Ruth Kelly, Harriet Harman etc.

When I copy Haystack's post 19469 I get exactly what is in my post 19474. The email and profile icons do not replicate.

However, when Haystack copies Goldfinger's post 19457 it reproduces the source code. GF seems to have thought better of his comment and removed them (or someone at £AM did) but Haystack was still able to post the content despite the fact it was deleted.

It is because I use two browsers on my tablet - Firefox and Chrome. I use Firefox for reading and Chrome for posting as it has spell checker etc. I noticed as I was posting the post in question had been deleted by goldfinger. You may notice that our posts are near each other in time. I coped his post from Firefox to Chrome as it was still showing on Firefox.

Hugh Grant eh! Wonder how ''Desiree'' is these days. What an impartial HEAD banger he is.

Treble dip recession round the corner.

Congratulation Dave and Georgie Boy and. A partnership made in hell.

I wonde if they are going to have a civil partnership, or attend a state funeral attended by followers?

Told tory MPs are seen constantly looking over their hunched shoulders and sending their CVs for future employment.

A suitable response for a wet dreams.

I don't have any sympathy for Hugh Grant, or any of the so-called "celebrities", who pose for pictures in Hello magazine for very large sums of money one minute and then complain about press intrusion into their private lives when it suits them. The real victims of press intrusion are innocent, decent people, like the McCanns and what the gutter press has subjected them to over the years is quite disgusting. Leveson enquiry = a total waste of tax payers money. Nothing will change.
