Disgusting. With the taxi driver yelling "sarf of the river? F**k off, death to infidels" at her it must have been a rough journey.

1. Shouldn't have bought a Lenovo 2. should have sent it back when problem arose. 3. now you've messed around with it they probably wont take it back.

She doesn't look too pleased that a celebrity snapper is leaning in her taxi in an attempt to get an up skirt shot.

Amazing how much more complex the control were for that bomber than for the manned Mercury space flights. I saw the cockpit in the Smithsonian in DC - smaller than an old fashioned mini and not much more technical.

Because it uses £15.5bn of government money (£3.5bn expenditure and £12bn of loan guarantees) to enable people to saddle themselves with even bigger loans. In doing so the scheme is reversing the welcome trend of gently declining house prices (in real terms after inflation) which have long been too high due to lack of new building. Almost any other use of the money you could think of would have had more beneficial effects on the economy - a government backed house building program, tax cuts, investment in infrastructure, public services, paying down debt etc. People in the UK already pay a very high proportion of their income for generally small and poor quality housing. Osbourne could have done something to improve that situation, it was a stroke of genius to find one of the few ways to spend taxpayers money to make things worse.

No-one is talking down the British economy. Its the talking up of policies which are actually hindering recovery and / or are almost criminally counter productive (eg the Help to Buy scheme) as some how being the saviours of the UK economy which attract the criticism.

I had you down more for buying services abroad.

Milliband quite rightly blew some smoke up Hollande's hind quarters when he was elected in order to be able to exert influence later. A much more successful strategy than Cameron's, excoriated here in the Daily Mail.....: The ousting of Nicolas Sarkozy last night was a humiliating diplomatic setback for David Cameron – who months ago publicly backed his re-election. British diplomats will race to forge links with the new French President Francois Hollande, whom the Prime Minister has ostentatiously snubbed, to shore up recent agreements on defence and nuclear power. The Prime Minister risked all by backing Mr Sarkozy’s re-election at a Brussels press conference in February. He then refused to see Mr Hollande on a recent trip to London, leaving him to meet Labour leader Ed Miliband instead. And he compounded the error by telling a French newspaper that he wholeheartedly backed Mr Sarkozy’s bid to return to power. As Mr Sarkozy’s prospects sank, the new ambassador in Paris – the pathologically cautious former national security adviser Sir Peter Ricketts – was unable to persuade the Prime Minister to change tack. Mr Cameron backed Mr Sarkozy's re-election at a Brussels press conference in February - but then refused to meet with Francois Hollande in London Officials in Whitehall last night accused Mr Cameron of ‘putting all his eggs in one basket’ by throwing his political weight behind Mr Sarkozy – even when polls suggested he was likely to lose. And they warned that Britain might pay a heavy price for the snub since the UK is heavily dependent on the new French leader for economic recovery, national defence and the future of the UK nuclear power industry. ‘We put all the chips on one card and it turned out not to be the ace,’ one rueful source said. ‘It was an error of judgment and not what was advised. There are perfectly good protocol reasons why you don’t see foreign opposition leaders before they have been elected. But to go quite so far in backing Sarkozy was a mistake. The Prime Minister has a habit of shooting from the hip.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2140539/France-elections-2012-Will-David-Cameron-pay-Francois-Hollande-snub.html

The amount of spending on commercial and civil engineering projects continued to fall, according to the survey, although in both cases the decline slowed from April. Despite the promising figure for the sector overall, Markit chief economist Tim Moore sounded a note of caution. "The latest figures suggest that the sector is worryingly reliant on residential building work for thrust," he said. The construction sector has been an area of weakness in the UK economy. Construction activity fell 2.5% in the first quarter of 2013, amid overall growth estimates of 0.3% and it still remains more than 18% lower than it was before the start of the financial crisis in 2008. Don't forget folks, these are the economic highlights Johnny has picked out for us.

So how do falling wages help stimulate what all parties agree is an economy suffering from weak demand?

Not sure he's blond enough to fit in.

So implicitly you are agreeing with me that Andrew Neill is wrong and also accepting that the austerity measures have reduced growth.... Arguably we would have grown more, perhaps 5% more like Germany, without austerity and that would have done more to eliminate the deficit.

UK growth 2nd quarter 2009 (end of recession) - May 2013 3.6%. German growth same period 8.2%. We really whupped those boys.

Perfect. Good man Scotty. -
The Boris and Samantha Cameron one? I don't buy that. I might be persuaded to briefly lift my cynicism if it were Samantha Cameron and Rebecca Brooks - now that would be a story fit for the front page (and p4,5,6,7,9,10,13, and 15) of the NOtW.
-
Looks like Cameron got shafted all round despite being the only one to not get laid. I don't get why its a big deal either. So the press exerted unhealthy leverage on the PM and managed to get a lover a job by telling porkies. Its hardly shocking stuff in the ethics vacuum of politics is it?

Its not even random, its a self selecting sample from a football forum. Even first year students are taught not to do that

Would be a nice touch if someone recorded it and sent it to his family. Not everyone can access iplayer, especially overseas. -
Thats all very nice an all Phil, but where are the pics of her with no clothes on?

So like Pap you prefer to avoid the basic questions and plead vicitmisation. Its okay to claim mutilated people were crisis actors and that murders witnessed by scores didnt happen, but if anyone points out how untenable that is its bullying.

Go on then, I'll perpetuate this sorry thread a while longer. Which questions are valid and need answering?

The guy who works in IT but doesn't know how to colour balance a media player now demonstrates his fine grasp of structural engineering and demolition. They say you couldn't make it up but with conspiracists its their whole reason for being.
