Well done dune. A response as witty as your wet dream Clarkson's.

He is a hypocrite of the highest order, moaning about public servants 'gilt-edged pensions', while trousering millions off the BBC for presenting a programme about cars. As for what he said, to be honest, who gives a toss. In my book he's just made himself out to be more of a c*nt than I thought he was.

Public Sector Cuts V Tax Rises For Those Of Us That Pay Their Wages

Public Sector Cuts V Tax Rises For Those Of Us That Pay Their Wages
Wade Garrett replied to dune's topic in The Lounge
We might pay their wages, but they earn what they get paid the same as everyone else. Good luck to the striking workers. I have every sympathy when they only agreed changes to their pension arrangements in 2008. It seems the Government are happy to fund bankers and their lavish lifestyles without question, but take back from 'easy targets'. The firm I work for recently changed our pension arrangements, with our agreement. I would feel angry if they came back in a couple of years and said 'f*ck you, pay even more, retire even later, on less money'. Typical Tory attitude. -
Fingers crossed.

Can't believe we would be arrogant enough to under-estimate any team after what happened at Bristol last week.

Richardson was excellent. Thought their full-back did a decent job on Lallana.
-
We looked so much better second half with the 4-4-2. Much more attacking down both flanks. I didn't like our shape in the first half. De Ridder did well, as did Richardson (again) and Fonte. The way Hull knocked the ball around in the attacking third was very similar to how we play. We really miss Chaplow, hope he's not out for long.
-
Agreed. Guly didn't have his best game last night, and to be honest, I thought his workrate was pretty average as well. But everyone has off days, and the last thing we should do is get on their backs when they're not performing on the odd occasion.

I feel sorry for my brothers who have got season tickets in the Chapel. I've sat with them a couple of times now, and there are a couple of blokes behind who talk crap for the whole 90 minutes. It is so difficult sometimes to resist the urge to ask them to stop spouting so much crap within my earshot.

It would level the playing field a bit. Lots of multi-nationals don't actually pay the full rate of CT, so giving the same levels of tax to SME's would give them cash to expand.

The facts are that the banks were happy to take billions of our money to cover for their reckless ways, but they don't then fulfil their part of the bargain by lending to get the wheels of the economy turning. In the meantime, like pigs at the trough, they continue to pay themselves an exhorbitant amount. The mafia have got nothing on the banks.

The trouble is VAT rises proportionately affect the low-earners more than the high earners. The trouble with Cameron's government is that they are hell bent on following their ideologies and are blind to other options. They have handled reducing the public purse clumsily, have done nothing yet to cut off money to the spongers and won't works, and haven't seen the increase in tax-revenue because there is no growth. The banks are the key to the economy growing, but they are not lending, and Osborne doesn't know what to do. I'd like to see a reduction in corporation tax. It might decrease our revenues short term, but long term we would get more businesses growing and less to pay in dole handouts.

I would imagine that the workers about to be thrown on the scrapheap at Bombardier would say it was more than a judgement call or a fiasco. Why they didn't restart the tendering process I will never know. But then its only a few more northerners out of work.
-
It wasn't 'hand-tieing' legislation.

Joiurnos are a load of unprincipled phone hacking c*nts. I don't bother with papers anymore.
-
Labour introducced mass unemployment? 1.5 million. Thatcher skilfully doubled this. I think the Tories are happy with a bit of unemployment, because their businesses can get away with paying their staff less.
-
Good news for Derbyshire. Are these new jobs more than the number lost by the Government in the Bombardier fiasco?

Loan window deadline day thread
Wade Garrett replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
I thought Barney looked quite sharp against Brighton, Connolly is a class act, Guly could play up front on his own, or Steve De Ridder could play up front. If Ricky got injured we may have to change our tactics a bit, but that's what all good sides do. We have good players that will create lots of chances for whoever. -
Loan window deadline day thread
Wade Garrett replied to Ivan Katalinic's 'tache's topic in The Saints
Cortese's strategy seems to be to buy players who could play in the league above. Hence the signings of Lambert, Fonte, Chaplow, Fox, Guly etc. I don't see the point in loaning the Coventry forward and then buying him in January. We have cover in the forward positions, he isn't better than our first choices, and I'm not sure he could play Premier League. Much better to wait until January. If we keep playing the way we are, we will be serious promotion candidates and Nigel would be in a position to sign better players than the loans that are being talked about now. -
This is the free-market working in its unfettered way. Survival of the fittest. It's why we have employment legislation, because you can bet that if we didn't, these fatcats would be paying you next to sod all and your conditions would be crap. Unfortunately, the Tories and their big business backers want to soften this legislation. Leopards don't change their spots.

So a few chants are arrestable but fighting isn't? Typical police.

How about ManC*nt to a man, and c*nt to a c*nt.

Suarez should have just called Evra a c*nt. Then everyone would be happy. It's a great and powerful word.

We would have gone down the season he was sacked. He wasn't the best.
