Relegation at best.

We need to win this!

Seems like a few minutes there everything went against us

If results remain similar to this, I will be happy.

Can't wait to see him in action for saints in the next few years.

Hartlepool winning 2-0. They have been quietly creeping up the table recently, much like Peterborough did a few months ago. I feel like they may put in a late challenge for the playoffs.

Not too bad so far, the top 6 seem to be finally pulling away slightly as results stand which is good.

Well, you've clearly won this argument then...

Over a 1,000 people killed now

These revolutions have nothing to do with al-Qaeda. It's about poor people without jobs or money or food fed up with leaders running countries like their own personal bank siphoning off all the countries money for themselves while they have no freedom. They want democracy and freedom.

I'd say it was more a mixture of Labour, the Banks and a Global Financial Crisis rather than just Labour that caused the deficit.

This story is very sad and some people do just take these things way too far. However, it is extremely funny when media outlets like the Mail and Fox report on all things internet related. They just get it so wrong.

Yes, they do. They present that political argument and then they present Labours political argument. They can't just put across the government line.

Al Megrahi is the fall the man for Libya. Whether he should have been released or not depends on your values of compassion. If Megrahi had died a few weeks after he was released more people would be happy, but the fact he still lives creates issues. I'm not arguing for or against his release here. On that matter, where the hell is Megrahi, has anyone seen any evidence that he is actually still alive?!

I'd be more upset if Cameron was happy with the BBC. He shouldn't be happy with them and I hope he doesn't start interfering. I always find the BBC to explain every side of the argument and all this bias ****e is bull****.

Brilliant!

Well, he wasn't really the real person behind this. What really needs to happen is for Gaddafi to go down. And in all honesty, Cameron and Co. were only against his release because they were in opposition and it was a good opportunity for them.

Yes. But this hardly a party political point. Tory and Labour governments for years up right until now have happily supported him in power and taken his oil to prop him up.

Yes, I did mean them as well. The Tories were no better. This is a totally non-partisan point. Everyone is as bad as each other.

Let's be honest though. Al Megrahi didn't really do it, he was just the fall man for the real criminal. The real criminal and perpetrator is Gaddafi, but everyone was happy to forget that for his oil and the stability he brought to the area through brutal suppression of his people. It brings me some satisfaction he will reach a bloody end in the next few days or weeks, and too bloody late as well. Personally, I'd like to see him captured, tried and chucked in jail. Death is always the easy way out for these kinds of people.

Hmmmm, the rumblings of threats of Milatary Intervention... what do people think of that?

...

Oh dear, 0.6% down now! Let's just hope savage cuts work... when we sell the bank shares should help us to a degree, though it won't solve long term deficit problems. We need cuts but not £113bn, a large part of that is just ideological.

We did run a surplus for a few years. Either way, our figures were better than for a lot of Europe. I think I have phrased my argument badly there and I apologise. Let me put my original bullet points across again. - There was no 12.5% budget deficit until recently, it was around 1 or 2 percent and a surplus in some years before the crash. - National debt as a percentage of GDP decreased under Labour. - National debt was lower than under the Tories under Labour until the crash. - The national debt and deficit then became the large amount we see today during the financial crisis because of the ideological decisions they made. - Subsequently, there was no decade of spending beyond our means. I would argue that this recession has a lot more to do with the failure of successive governments to regulate the banks properly.
