    I noticed Gracchus Babeuf has been banned. I didn't see any contentious posts of his/hers so does anyone know why s/he has been banned?

    Well, other than the fact Graham and his friends were trying to get him/her banned and probably did their usual torrent of posts to the moderators who then ban out of hand to save on admin time.

    I've been standing up to "Graham's Gang" as some people on here call them, so I dare say I'll be next. Is this what the rest of you guys want? A site like HPC where anyone who goes against the gang is banned? That's what you are going to get unless you stand up and mail the mods and stop this sort of thing happening.

    He was latterly posting about Greece.

    I suspect he may have come up with some madap idea about repossessing Greece, and selling all the islands off to pay off the debts.

    Quite possibly the best value policy given all the circumstances.

    Premium shared across the whole populace, based on the widest spread of risk, with the likely hood that it will pay out when needed.

    Bit of a self licking lollipop though. Just think of the infrastructure we could afford. Just for a few years shaved off life expectancy.

    "Divide and rule" nonsense. They do have a voice, who thinks pays for their votes at the election? Labour would never get into power if higher rate tax payers had two votes.


    How can you defend a Government That in 2 whole years has sacked 70,000 public sectors workers and done the following

    • only created 1million jobs (or 450,000 due to the Olympics)
    • U turned on every Government legislation and no mandate for growth only in 2 years 0.00000001% of growth
    • Talks today on Gay marriage yet no focus on Economy a small amount of the public leaving them out of touch
    • Ignores Leveson rules for privacy and newspaper regulation & Phone hacking letting papers carry on hacking phones on sensitive cases like millie Dower to sell their &^** newspaper you public read and believe like sheep for government to blame the disabled,Pensions Claiming and unemployed yet MP's claim taxpayer money for them and there companies who donate to the party
    • Sell off of the NHS to Capita,Serco ,Virgin,02 and many others from latest news 30 Billion is set aside for the final sell off to private companies, You soon need to have private medical insurance like America
    • Giving money away to other countries when its needed her
    • Cuts double Homeless people with no help because the local councils have no funds to direct to charity based help like YMCA or shelter
    • Wonga or loan sharks Boom due to them cutting regulations,
    • Free workers to get benefits for companies not paying taxes or getting away with it because they use loopholes to pay a percentage or profit to a donated charity when the money they avoid could pay off the debt.


    I could go on But I'll save the bandwidth, Labour was no good but it was the start of the banking crises when they was in power, Torey was the ones to blame for the propaganda in this country that it was labours fault when in Fact it was a deficit we had for 40 years growing back from conservatives and previous administration the problem was under Labour We started to Boom at a modest 3% in GDP now were in A TRIPLE DIP Economy all governments have a issue were this country political borrow more then what we produce then sell off the assets to make a quick sale for treasury while living off the tax payers money in expenses



    When recession starts its all good saying its shortage of jobs or blaming immigration the main focus should be on companies finding ways to employ more staff without hurting the business which is impossible because if the economy id not there its down to business or the cities to create and growth the economy, which they cannot do because they have no room to maneuver or business is not booming offline, Online a different matter always booms But we have a government that lacks fear into companies and U turns on everything




    roll on 2015
