we just don,t have a bigger enough squad but it looks like work in progress still and most had us down for relegation, bit like last season and we ended up 8 th and thats where we will end up i think.

think we need sign another target man,not been impressed with long in that position

I will be dead before we will ever get a modern train system and still see no signs of planning and investment being put in place apart from a cosmetic facelift to appease the easily pleased.

no surprise to me and i believe the east coast line even refunded money back to the government but now virgin trains i believe won the franchise,i suppose richard branson will keep it all now.just can,t believe we put up with a train infrastructure system which so outdated and stuck in a time warp.

agree it should have stayed in the public sector has one company and had the same level of subsidy has private company s get now ,all that has happened is the massive subsidies go to private owners more than b transport ever got ever got,yet it takes longer to get to london than it then the 1970s.should have modernized the train service decades ago and reasonable prices which would have taken alot of traffic off the roads.its cheaper to fly than catch the train which shows what a joke its become.if the fast trains were updated you would have got to london in less than 30 minutes rather than this 3 rd world service we have now.

no he did not give our sovereignty away he joined a club which pooled power and we would have done in in 1961 under macmillen if we had not been rejected by de gaul. By the end of January 1960, the Foreign Secretary, Mr Selwyn Lloyd, told the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe that Britain had made a mistake in not joining the ECSC. She belonged to Europe, as well as to the Commonwealth and the Atlantic alliance. Getting the full support of United States from the American President Kennedy, the British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan spoke in the House of Commons on 31 July 1961 and signalled the decision to apply to EEC to make Britain a member of it. The first application to the three European Communities was submitted on 9 August 1961. i believe that all the leaders of the main party s are putting the national interest first despite the ec being used has the whipping boy for everything under the sun.

I think its a age thing,I don't think younger voters have a clue what eussr is or ecc or sandel wearing liberals or who Ted heath is but that what the oldies like us remember from the 1970s .?

good post i suppose it boils down to what type of mindset ,if you have a positive mindset your more likely to see the opportunity's available and if your a negative person your more likely to see doom and gloom i expect.

well you have to blame ma thatcher for that when she sold off the council houses and unfortunately successive governments have carried on that policy.

good post and you would have thought those who want a return to 1950s politics would have got it by now.

Norway has oil plus they and Switzerland contribute to the EU and abide by the rules to have access to the EU market but no say on any of the rules.we would still pay money inif we left the EU.

You explained that very well pap.

got to agree with you there but to have a single European market, you got to have freedom of movement and common rules and standards or it does not work with each country cherry picking the bits they like.

i can,t wait for us to leave and be on our own outside our biggest market and renegotiate all our trade deals around the world then i woke up from fantasy islandthe reality is the likely outcome of the next election is another coalition or a labour win based on our split between the two conservative party's (ukip). looks like a repeat of the 1980s when the labour vote was split with the sdp. unfortunately we four of the most useless party leaders i,ve seen in my lifetime. i hate the politics of fear and negativity they all preach.

totally agree and i come from a era when kids were left outside pubs or in bottle and jug bar while there parents (mainly the dads)drank inside occasionally popping out to give us crisps or a fizzy drink..so i expect they would be classed has bad parents now....we all make mistakes and i would think they would be devastated to lose a child like that and have to live with the fact everyday.

cameron must have known all along what is going on,i expect hes playing politics by standing up to the eu so he can say to those ex tory party turn coats who defected to ukip hes the man to trust for britsh interests. plus the by election coming up hes playing to the gallery which i expect ukip to win. labour must be laughing all the way to the bank has the split on the two tory partys squabble over petty issues once again.

same here,pubs were shutting down anyway and there were more pubs pre-war then there is now ,the smokeing ban does not stop smokers going outside for a fag they normally have facilities provided for them.patio heaters etc.

Agree its the UK version of the tea party with a lot of lunatics in its membership, but if the gullible simpletons want to vote for them its there choice only difference they will make is that we will end up with a labour government.

You think the muppets who support these idiots would see threw these cowboys. But its no surprise to me,its the old reactionary wing of the nasty party of the 80s Tory party but I suppose people are so far removed from politics they will swallow the make believe ******** they spought.

not really surprised especially when you get a bunch of amateurs has directors running the club.

thats something i agree with and be more represented of the general population along with a pr system related to votes and a elected second chamber but at the end of the day big business runs the show with all the party's.

Same with me i have a comfortable life but quality of life is more important than status symbols and have found some of our poorest people are the hardest workers with little reward unlike those lazy bankers.you will always bring in more tax when the economy is booming .its a different matter in a recession.at the end of the day politicians of all partys are just mouthpieces of big businesses.

I though camerons speech was good but I worry how he is targeting certain groups for votes and rather he dealt with the deficit..I loved the way he pinched the lib dems policy of taken the lowest pay out of tax by raising the allowance to 10,500 which the Tories would not have done if it was in power on its own.the trouble is the libs have shot themselves in the foot over the student fiasco. Lots of working class kids priced out of going to university. I ,m undecided who to vote for has I find all 3 party's very poor but I ,m not minded to waste my vote on a Micky mouse party like ukip. etc

Apparently the brick has defected to ukip.
