I wouldn't defend them too much - the lad who pleaded guilty, AT, is a spurs fan. He's also a prat. I've no idea about the others though.

There is of course another scenario - the fact that Liberal Democrat policy now that it's examined and given the same crediblity as the other two parties is actually what the public want. You shouldn't kid yourself that the British public want what you want.

Or spelling? But that's a cheap shot. I'd be interested to see what you consider amongst the liberal democrats policies that aren't sensible?

Ah, didn't realise that. It does explain quoting Churchill and in the very same post slagging off people who switch from the Tories to Liberal and vice versa ha ha!

Then vote UKIP if you really must, you've already admitted you'd prefer to do so. After all at least you vote for what you believe in right? It's a matter of principle for you isn't it? Or is immigration ALL you're interested in. That must be quite sad.

How many contradictions do you need? You've already admitted that the BNP is a socialist party (and you're a self confessed right wing tory boy) yet you're having a pop at people you consider as switching from left to right and call them fools? You say it's about compromise in one post and then say it's about principle in another? You say you vote for what you believe in yet choose a racist party over your preferred choice? Without wanting to be demeaning you really don't have much credibility.

Actually a strong BNP vote would have the opposite effect to the one you want. Every political party and the media would decry the BNP as they did when Griffin appeared on question time. It would unite parties and it would also attract people (to other parties) who suddenly realise that if nothing else then their vote would cancel out a bone headed racist vote. The same thing happened in france when apathy saw Le Pen have an unexpectedly large proportion of the vote in the presidential election in 2002.

I disagree with this almost totally. I'd hazard a guess that even if Saints get back into the premiership, win the league, win the FA Cup and the champions league I will never see a better player than Matty. Lambert, if he stays, could and probably will become a great player for us and maybe a legend if he's lucky - if he gets us two promotions then there's not many that could boast that. Matt though was as close as you could get to a one man team and without him we would have been relegated much much earlier.

Don't get me started....poor little fella already has the David Tennant Dr Who outfit but being a ginger looks more like Chris Evans. If I don't get him into football soon then he's a prime candidate for bullying........ Luckily the stickers seem to be working.

Thanks for the tips everyone and you'll be pleased to know it worked a treat. I got three albums in the end one each for the nephew and neice and one for me (clearly they'll need someone to swap with). Best thing was when the 4 year old neice found a Paraguay player and said "red and white! Southampton!" bless her. Oh and not got any swaps so far........

Aren't they trading cards rather than the stickers?

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this but here goes: Does anyone know if the panini 2010 world cup sticker album is on sale yet? According to their website it is but checked Tesco yesterday and couldn't find it. It's not actually for me - it's my latest attempt to get my nephew into football. He's only five but so far shows more interest in sci fi stuff and clearly while there's nothing wrong with this he does need to balance it out with football. I used to love the world cup sticker albums - think my first one was Spain '82.

Can we do that mid game? It's one way to overturn a man down disadvantage though.

Where is he? We'll never win if he doesn't moan....

So people who smoke ONLY die of smoking related diseases? Of course it increases the chance of illness, but not for everyone. So whilst it's sad you know people who smoked who died of smoking related illnesses I'm sure you know people who smoked who died of other causes? I do.

More likely actually. They don't have to file stats for MRSA and other health care acquired illnesses.

Smoking doesn't always damage your health the same as driving cars and doing sport don't either. Surely your point is if it does result in a smoking related illness then treatment is refused? Exactly the same can be applied to driving and participating in sport then? Sent from my poncy phone that will probably give me ear cancer, or cancer of the thumb.

And of course their NI contributions are lowered accordingly. Not only will they not be receiving medical treatment but on average they'll be drawing their pension for less years (if any).

Of course smokers are actually doing non smokers a favour. They massively subsidise the NHS and they die younger. They don't draw pensions for as long and they don't spend years in nursing homes costing £400 quid a week.

Personally I rate him a lot but sometimes I question the position he's played in. Wide left or right he's been great but imo not so effective in the middle, behind the front two or up front. I think Barnard has a lot to thank him for - I don't think it's a coincidence that Barnard started scoring as soon as we played with genuine width. Lallana too has more freedom on the pitch when Puncheon plays. All in my opinion of course.

to be fair it's mostly the fans who don't go to games mate.

11% Tory....hang your head in shame.

Also a large number of the bureaucrats are the people who put together the waiting list information and have ensured that waiting times have come down. One of the major election talking points used to be how long it took to get an operation - it's to Labour's credit that it isn't the case anymore. The non clinical staff that have enabled the clinical staff to do their job better play their part in this. Personally I'd try to reduce the competition between PCT and provider - I'm not convinced that the internal market is a great model but maybe that's just me. On the subject of competition I'll try to give any politician who offers me more choice a wide berth. People don't want the option of going to the "best" hospital - they want the best treatment at their nearest hospital. They don't want to send their kids to the best school - they want their nearest school to offer the best education. That's without even bringing up the contrived idea of choice in the water and rail industries....

I choose all areas and got overall Greens 44% Labour 33% Lib Dems 22%. Actually having realised that the Greens are up for election in my constituency I will be voting for them.
