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.

G and H, you must be missing the Sun and News of the World!

Diane Abbot irritates me, and I stopped watching the TV Politics programme which she was on, as her interventions often seem to me to be crass.

But her remark “ white people love playing ‘divide and rule” seems to me B. obvious to me and common practice of some politicians, some individuals (white, black, colour, or yellow), or kids in the playground who are trying to win an argument. It is common practice in committee meetings and debates.

Pointing out what is as a possible action by what is seen a “ruling” “white body “of people will do, is not unreasonable.

It was made against the background of what was described as a case of racial murder and police incompetence, or even a case of racial disregard by the police.

Although, sometimes Abbot provokes me to thinking that she is dumb which she is obviously not, as can be seen from her academic achievements, but I think she is attempting to limelight what she addresses in her own way.

What she was addressing in her remark, was, that if one can fragment, or subdivide the “coloured” groups involved, into “variants” of colour, or ethnicity, one is complicating the “core” problem under examination and helps those who wish to provoke “racialism”.

The leaping on the band wagon by Clog and the ranting tory camp followers can be seen as attempts to deviate focus from the inept posturing of Cameron on the economic mess he is continuing to create.

(The recording of nursing routine items, is a problem of how the records are being recorded. Not nursing itself, although there are problems with nursing and medical care.)

Without, good records, then if there is an incident which leads to a investigation or court case then the staff may get scalped, even if not responsible for any "crime".



Tanker,

Yes.

Discuss racialism, Black, white, or coloured, and try to understand the reasons for it.

But don’t think you are trying to do that, when the way you are discussing it, sometimes seems to show more interest in trying to provoke or incite it.

--------------------
However, some of the recent hullabaloo about supposed racial remarks seems to me to ridiculous.

(I have always thought that the round ball game was played by overgrown boys and girls.)

H and G,

I sometimes think you must be well past middle age.

I'll have an 'A' please Bob Holness has died.

Ed Milliband is also suffering from foot-in-mouth disease.

He has the subject of 'black and white' on the brain at the moment. He posted thi on Twitter this morning.

"Sad to hear that Bob Holness has died. A generation will remember him fondly from Blackbusters".

LOL - not to be confused with BlockAdder!

Further developments at Kodak - down another 9% atm.

pull the shutters down

Andrew Lansley promises women breast support.

Lucky women.

Bet he makes another decision.

Perhaps, there is another U-turn on the way, when all is known.

Where are the Private sectors records of operations kept?

There would seem to be cases of negligence to answered by some of the Medics and Private Medicine clinics.

Hays,

Noticed you highlighted Milliband's recent Gaff with Glee.

Surprised how you haven't point out your Dear One's latest blunder into the media.

To many it seems Cameron is more and more out of touch with the country's needs and reality and relying more and more on spiel.

Noticed Merkel and Sarkosy are cosying up to one another again.

I saw he is leaving pay policies for the city slickers being left to Vince, very wise.

But he isn't even an observer on negotiations in Berlin.

He is a disaster and overseeing the slide of the UK economy.

I have wondered if Cameron is on the wrong medication, as he gets puffier and puffier around the gills, and when patronising the media relying more and more on universal quantifiers and vague generalisations which seem to be an attempt to appear specific, while the utterances are actually meaningless.

Typical of the PR environment he should have stayed in,

"Prime Minister David Cameron has said for the first time he would veto a European-wide financial transaction tax unless it was imposed globally, deepening a confrontation with European Union heavyweights France and Germany. He said France should be free to go it alone and introduce a financial transactions tax if it wished. Paris and Berlin have been pushing for an EU-wide tax of financial transactions but Britain has strongly resisted, fearing it will damage the City of London, a global financial centre where much of the tax would be raised. (...) "The idea of a new European tax when you're not going to have that tax put in place in other places, I don't think is sensible and so I will block it," Mr Cameron said in a BBC interview," The Telegraph reports.

HO, Ho. Next U-turn.

I don't mind if I do! Have two drink-free days, MPs say

Saw Joan Baez a couple of years ago.

Still beautiful.

She brought back memories of the 70s.

Show me the country where bombs had to fall,
Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall,
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go I, -- you and I.
You and I,

There but for fortune, go you or go, I -- you and I.

Scotland.

Give them back the money from the North sea oil and gas.

Rid them of the Nuclear weapon facilities. Perhaps, locate them in London and perhaps, they won't be begging off England.

But Cameron is becoming more like Chamberlain than Churchill and not happy with alienating the majority of Europe is now seemingly prepared to urge the breakup of the UK union.

He is a failure and the sooner he resigns the better.
