  1. Your views are based on predjudice and the inability to understand that Google is tool to find information from any source. Its the integrity of the source that counts, just as if you were searching the Bodleian library. Same kneejerk reaction based on nothing. The 'hogwash' graphic is part of an analysis published in today's Financial Times based on Cameron's published promises. Its entitled "High earners will gain most from Tory plans as spending cuts go deep". The lower paid get far less of the tax cut, around £50 per year for those paid up to £20,000pa compared with a giveaway of over £2,000pa for those paid £95,000pa.
  2. My chances of being able to find a five year old betting slip, or even who the bookie was are minimal so would be a guaranteed loser for me.
  3. The effect of Cameron's tax reduction promises. More money for the well paid and less for the poorly paid whilst the national debt grows. Who'd have thunk it?

  5. So you reckon its fine to hold firm views based on nothing more than you heard it once on the radio, or somewhere, or something? And there was me thinking your politics were ill founded. Try google, you might get a more balanced view.
  6. You make it sound like a hobby he's given up!
  7. You prefer to play semantics rather than deal with point that your assertion that Gordon Brown "treated everybody's money as his own and grudgingly let us keep a little of our own money for essentials" was inaccurate and untrue. His record of tax take was not notably better or worse than any other chancellor over the past 40 years. One avenue left open to you is to claim that all chancellors treat your money as their own and therefore it was fair comment, but I wouldn't take that route if I was you, it'd make you look sillier.
  8. To show that you made up your comment about Gordon Brown.
  9. Whilst I don't doubt he said that, its not believable, some re-invention of history perhaps. Travelling with one goalie in the squad would be down to the manager's decision - an unnecessary risk not due to finances.

  11. Thats what I find odd about many Tory voters, rigid beliefs not backed up by facts, and even when told the facts their views don't change.
  12. You planning to pay off £1.4 trillion by 2020? Go, on its only £46,000 for every working person.
  13. Fair point, I'd forgotten about Staph - its poisoning from toxin created by poor handling of uncooked food. I was thinking of 'live' infections.
  14. I'm with you on the barricade Bletch. What ever happened to honesty and leadership in politics instead of pandering and deceit? All the main parties should have an agreement to tell it like it is and go into the election on the basis of the best way to end the deficit and repay some the debt - not compete on who can apply for another credit card and buy the prettiest sweeties with it.
  15. Thats paint you can see, not concrete

  17. Whatever made you ill wasn't the Finsbury Park food. Most food poisoning takes 2-5 days incubation before symptoms emerge. The minimum is 12 hours.
  18. Somehow that just makes him seem even more of a knob than before
  19. I'm pretty confident we'll win, as long as Pochettino takes their game tonight seriously and puts out his best team.
  20. Morgan, Lallana, RL, Rodriguez etc have all got their first call up whilst at Saints. If Clyne doesn't get the nod its because someone fails to recognise his ability, not because he's at Saints. Would be odd for Shaw to be in the squad given hes barely played this season.
  21. Ignore them. Your leisure slacks are sick.
  22. They really havent. Contributions were based on thre average worker surviving around 6.5 years in retirement - not the 17 or 18 which is typical today.
  23. What an utter kn ob Cameron is. With debt at £1.45 trillion pounds, budget deficit of 5.5% and the interest alone on debt repayments heading towards £68bn he is promising to both cut taxes and increase spend on the NHS.
  24. and maybe Liverpool too. Swansea could break through into the top 8 as well.
