I think you mean the Torygraph for your higher quality right wing spin. The Daily Mail and Express aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

And so the privatisation begins

This site can be very helpful, have used it many times over the past couple of years. Thanks.

FC Sochaux are in the top league in France, and France have decent leagues, so I imagine this will be hard. We will probably loose.

Wow, way democratic there...

No-one can deny that all these types of crime have fallen dramatically under Labour after a rise under the last Tory government.

Land of Hope and Glory in a much better song than the current piece of crap.

First Past the Post is a stupid system, totally unfair, disproportionate and it allows the fews opinions dominate the manys.

Well, neither of Labour or Tories like a change in the system because it suits them as they are. They know that at a max every 15 years or so they can take it in turns to run the country. The only reason they started bleating on about it was because they needed a stick to wave in front of Liberal Democrats for the election. FPTP works reasonably well in a two party system, but in a system where 35% of people don't vote for the main two parties, it fails dramatically.

Yes, I do. I want STV or maybe even AMS. I think the current voting system is rubbish. However, I guess you are a supporter of FPTP... so if you are you can't moan about it's erratic nature. You shouldn't get a landslide with 35% of the vote.

Most governments change after such a long period stuff always goes wrong and everyone gets fed up. And I refuse to look at seats as that doesn't show how people are voting at all. All I see is a party that got nowhere near 50% of the votes needed for in my mind to 'win' and command the majority viewpoint. No-one won this election, and our whole system is a tonne of bull**** that promotes a rule by the plurality.

Labour was not completely rejected at the ballot box though. Only 2m less than the Tories, which when you consider 30m voted isn't a total rejection. In fact the tories were only 3.9m million ahead of the Liberal Democrats. They kept Labour in for 13 years which is an extremely long amount of time and really a very long life for any government. Your problem is that all statistics are wrong unless they support that the conservatives are right.

Perception of crime and how safe people feel is meaningless in this argument as well. Other factors and cultural changes have caused that. The simple fact is crime has fallen, therefore the streets are safer whether people feel like it or not.

It got recorded as crime? The police were called... and it was put down on his record. So what the hell are you on about?! But like I said again, this proves absolutely nothing, just as Ducks a shop down town never calls the police proves nothing.

Still doesn't disprove the figures I have obtained from an unbias source. Francis Maude has an agenda, the crime survey and the BBC do not(and please don't give me some the BBC are left wing ********!). I can tell you from my own experience that my friend who has been caught twice shoplifting had the police called twice. You can't justify trends based on personal examples.

Which crimes are now unrecordable? I want links from a reliable source. Also... 'It found that the risk of being a victim of crime fell to 22% - one percentage point less than the previous historic low.' Do you mean this by 'victim rate'? - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8472007.stm The figures don't lie.

I'm sure it was the same back in the 80's and 90's. You can't comment on overall trends based on one individual event. I feel like I'm back in year 11 geography class where people try to argue against climate change based on one cold day.

I love how people just ignore facts and figures when they come out. The fact is under the Tories, crime went up. Under Labour, it went down 43% and it's not hard to see why with the proper and useful investment the police were given in addition to other social programmes bringing countless people out of poverty.

It's not in his personality to give up. He is very hard working and this in part has led to his longevity and his ability to still be able to play pretty well. He also had a medical about a year back and the doctor gave the conclusion that he has a body type like many of the players who managed to continue playing at a high level until their late 30's(i.e Teddy Sheringham)

It's too much, but to be fair he has turned a school in a very difficult area into an outstanding one. He also, according to parents talking on BBC news tonight goes way beyond his pay grade in what he does. It should also be noted that the final figure is an amalgamation of many factors and that taking the view, 'he's in the public sector so should work for a pittance' is not only a silly opinion, but also an unproductive one.

In fairness, the Swiss season is about to start so they have already had their pre-season... this is basically their last match before start.

FC Thun 0-1 Saints. (12). Davis beaten from a great free kick from 25 yards #saintsfc I'm confused.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Thun Play in the swiss super league, which apparently is the 13th best top tier league in europe according to UEFA's ranking of leagues, so yea... they are probably better than we give em credit for. They have a 10,000 seater stadium too... Where is it?!

Maybe the ball is too accurate and the players are just used to adjusting themselves to a 'less accurate' ball.

Was it banks supply of 'cash' or our constant demand for instant credit that caused the recession?
