    sadly, the answer is no because it doesn't produce good TV entertainment or sell enough newspapers


    I think also, frankly, a lot of people don't understand a lot. The figures are just so huge....the arguments so circular....you have to really want to believe them or disprove them to follow along sometimes.

    there might have been a tiny fleck of froth in one corner of her mouth.

    This is a disaster for Gordon Brown, a disaster for Labour and a disaster for Britain.

    I maintain that Gordon Brown and the Labour Party are the best options to take Britain forward. But the press will not let this one drop. Whoever chose to broadcast his private words should hang her (or his) head in shame - and be sacked.

    Maybe you need to check the lefty press (BBC) for the other side of the argument.

    I think you'll find it's the same.

    she was bigoted. why shouldn't people from Europe come here for work? Enough brits go to Europe looking for bargain properties and a home from home, inflating the cost of housing and services for the people there. You can't avail yourself of the benefits only to moan when others do the same. The EU allows for freedom of movement. And besides, I hate it when people bandy around terms like 'Immigrant' without fully understanding what they are actually talking about. People from Eastern Europe are not immigrants, they are migrants.

    The biggest positive the conservatives have is they are NOT labour.

    clegg is a liar - he talks about politicians acting like spiv property speculators whilst making 300k on a house paid for by the tax payer!!!!!

    Dave tells it straight.

    The next few years are going to be really BAD. that is what 13 years of labour has caused.

    imagine you are a young girl and your dimwit older sister has been looking after you for 13 years, spending like a drunken sailor on daddy's credit card - THAT CAN'T GO ON FOREVER. Now daddy has taken it back and wants to balance the books.

    The public sector have had their fun. Now they need some pain. Just a bunch of chancers.

    The news showed that if the tories cut public sector pay by 5% it will be nowhere near enough to have a proper effect. As i have said all along - they need a blanket 25% cut. They are now better paid than private sector wealth generators.


    I mean, even a retard can work out that income tax receipts of 140bn compared to benefit payments of 170bn is a MASSIVE DISASTER and CANNOT CONTINUE.

    when i say retard, i am referring to labour voters obviously.
    I've got to hand it to you. You're great comedy value.:rotfl:
