Working today, no leftie day bank holiday for me. Are you disappointed that nobody connected with the labour party seems willing to condemn this. Particularly Harriet, perhaps she's so busy in her pink empowering women bus, that she didn't know what her old man was up to.

I'd be interested in the women and lefties on this forums take on this. I'm sure if it was Nigels golf club they'd have an issue. Perhaps when they get back from their May Day marches they'll comment on it.

Harriet Harpersons old man was one of the speakers, you know him, the bloke that got added to an all women shortlist to win his safe seat. I'm glad these things are now considered " progressive" , perhaps if labour get in my local could adopt this policy. The blokes can sit at and around the bar and the Wags somewhere in the corner.

There is absolutely no chance of Turkey becoming a member whilst there is free movement of people , and as that's a cornerstone of the EUSSR youve more chance of Elvis serving you fish & chips than them joining.

You do realise that UKIP support immigration , they just want every nationality treated equally . Who does someone who wants to leave the EU, supports Grammar Schools and wants control of our borders decided by west minister , vote for . Labour? I don't think so , however appealing their " all male" section is .

Is it a " cast iron guarantee " ? If so, I think we've been there before . It's a con . To get meaningful changes to the eu the change people seem to want , will require treaty change . There is already a law guaranting a referendum in the even of treaty change . Thus proving Cameron is just showboating and will only tinker around the edges , but try and pull the wool over the publics eyes .

I'm sure I've been through this before , but as you seem incapable of taking it in I'll try once more. I worked for a big multi national company that had very strict rules around recruitment . These rules were based on employment law. One of these rules was that I , as a manager, had to give any jobs to the best candidates regardless of race, colour , age or sexual persuasion . Had I given these jobs to White British people who were not as qualified as the Poles I took on, I would be sacked and would be breaking the law. They were extremely hard working and pleasant people , a credit to their country and fully justified my choices . There were also HR people present during assessments and interviews ensuring complete and utter compliance with any legislation . However, the simple fact is that some British people didn't get those jobs. Doing what is legally required whilst disagreeing with the law , is in no way " changing my mind" or being two faced . I may think speed limits are too low and want them increased to 100mph on the motorway , does driving around at 70 mean I can't voice that opinion ?

I'm thinking of switching to labour, at least I can sit with the lads when I attend meetings. Who wants silly little women sat next to you nagging whilst you're listening to Harriets hubby going on about empowering women.

No , cause that'll mean he may get to play next week .

Spot on .

Lol at labour moaning at QT audience , when Nigel complained all the lefties said it was sour grapes. At least nige had the balls to have a go there and then, not come over all " what's your name " and then start crying afterwards.

To tax people beyond the grave is immoral.

The minimum wage is ******** . It is set so low that it doesn't make a blind bit of difference . Had it been set at a rate that meant tax credits were abolished , it WOULD cost jobs .

What on earth are you on about ? Working too many hours is unhealthy , not to mention dangerous in a H&S way. However , what on earth has it got to do with Government when talking about hours that are deemed safe ? Are 1 hour contracts ok , what about 10 hours or 12 . If I have a business that demands flexibility and I am completely honest about the hours , terms , conditions . If I pay above the minimum wage and conform to Government working directives in respect of H&S . What the **** has it to do with Government ?

Agree 100% .

Its not the Governments job to dictate to employers how many hours they should give their staff.

Certainly it was the first time I've ever heard the BBC giving out the % and make up of audience before the program .

He was playing with words. A minority labour government will need the SNP to pass its budget, its queens speech and any other legislation. You also have to control the timetable and without the SNP they won't be able to. Theres also the make up of select committees .If anyone thinks the SNP will just wave all this through without asking for anything is deluded.

That blonde business women not falling for Red Eds flannel ,

It's interesting where posters sit , but the party bit is nonsense . DUP as right wing as lib dumbs , really ? I don't believe for one minute I'm more leftie than a pinko Tory party .

I'm 5 on the leftie / right scale & 1.33 on the other

The most bonkers award goes to some fit blonde bird representing some animal party on Daily Politics . Evidently there is a lot of " speciesism " in the uk , thousands of dogs going without walks , animals denied their rights and if we keep eating them we will need 3 planets to house humans .

Even he wouldn't **** her .

Mane's first season for us is on a par with JRod's IMO . JRod had been playing in English football all his career , for a first season in England Mane has had a pretty good season .
