Black Wednesday causing a recession. 'Dealing with a global banking crisis and sheltering us from the worst efects of it'. Yeah, right Austerity policy putting us back into recession. All these bits. You left out selling off the gold reserves at rock-bottom prices. You also ignored the fact that this is a coalition government, not a Tory one.

Just as long as they starve by their own efforts and don't expect the rest of society to help them do it. Not necessarily. You might just believe that it is up to every indicual to do the best for themselves that they can without relyig on others to carry them through their indolence.

Now I know that you've completely lost it. Labour was completely, entirely, absolutely at fault for leaving the country in the state it was. Who was it that banished boom and bust?

It all depends on the figures, of course, but a modest cut in rates is a fixed amount whereas a cut in CT is an incentive to make more profit.

Poor dividends means not attracting investment.

Of course, but you have to pay the rates no matter how much you sell, and you get absolutely nothing in exchange for it.

Oh them, I always ignore that sort of thing and make up my own mind.

That really annoyed me. Give them around £1400 and they would charge you for not paying by cash. Any other business would invite you in, sit you on a comfy sofa and give you a cup of coffee, maybe even offer you some biscuits but this lot make you stand outside in the wind and rain

Of course it is, but the more the government takes the less there is for investment.

They are if they need the profits to take on another employee, or buy some new equipment.

Ooh, I love intelligence in a woman. Such a rare commodity these days...

Yes, all that too, but the principle is the same. Who do you trust to spend your earnings more wisely? For every banker's bonus there are a hundred company owners wondering how to make ends meet.

A doe is a deer, a female deer...

There'll be a new phrase: 'Stick it up your selfie'.

I woke up this morning to hear a piece on BBC Radio 4 sports section talking about a proposal to increase the size of the goals in order to make the game more exciting. I think they even had a piece from David Beckham. It took me a while before I realised what day it was...

Lower Corporation Tax means more money available for investment in new jobs and equipment.

Good point. It takes a fair bit of adjustment getting used to the Premiere League.

A beautiful glancing header from Pellè. I'm very pleased for him ?

Of course. As long as you can service it you're ok. The same goes for some households

I gathered that from your reply

Being in debt doesn't mean insolvent. Anyone with hire purchase or a mortgage is in debt.

What would you like him to do, invade Iraq?

You didn't notice the irony in my writing?

Perhaps Graziano will take him out for you if you ask nicely?

Sorry, you're right, I've just checked my bank accounts to see what I had paid - 22-June-2012 £1353 18-June-2013 £1418 5-May-2014 £1474 (I've got the sun in my eyes this afternoon )
