Pap maybe Im not comparing like for like, but wilson and callaghan did close many mines. The way the media and lefties etc are reporting it was only thatcher who closed the mines. I don't here a peep out of galloway et al re closures of mines under labour . Also it was to labour administrations that severely cut the armed forces numbers and I do not me blair , brown eras or cameron since. Also I see the socialist workers had placards up claiming thatcher killed Bobby Sands. Sorry he starved himself to death , (Okay it was protest but thatcher did not kill him. It was his choice

a fair few of the protestors were born after thatcher was deposed as PM and another think if they have got nothing to hid , why hide their faces. maybe they belong to rent a mob. Interwsting some are harping on about the pit closures. some being narrow minded. it was a shame the likes of Corby were closed down etc but if you check back in history but having checked out the stats it appears that far more pits were closed when Harold Wilson was Prime Minister that when Thatcher was in no10. The rate of pit closures when Callaghan was PM was also higher.At the time the Wilson government were closing pits The UK needed more coal than we could produce and had started to import it. The closures were purely economic. Under Wilson a mine closed every week. The reason was the industry was loosing £1.2 million every day. So not every thing is black and white, scargill and go must have forgotten about that the following stats may prove helpful https://www.gov.uk/government/statis...n-1853-to-2011 So blame wilson and co as well as thatcher for closing mines. I notice one group of protestors stated thatcher killed the miners during the strikes. well the miners in wales killed a taxi driver taking two miners to work . he died when they threw

If justice is to be done then any points deduction should be effective from next season otherwise it will be a pointless exercise and it will mean they have got away with their cheating yet again I will be livid if the points come off this season . Especially when we got relegated the points were taken off the following season . I have never forgiven mull whinny or what ever his name for that decision

The "little things in life that really annoy you" thread
Viking Warrior replied to JackFrost's topic in The Lounge
People who abuse sickness absence schemes when there is nothing wrong with them, The bad backs, Stress and upset stomach brigade The GP's who sign sick notes as they are too scared to challenge the employees claim for fear of getting sued People who drive at lower or half the permitted speed allowed on roads. Oh and English shops and staff that will not take Scottish Bank notes. WH Smith one of the biggest offenders. Harry Redkrapp and Sam allardyce , Phil Brown Roy Hodgson -

SaintANDY My point is the that whilst the ECHR is part of the Council of Europe it applies to EU members they have signed up to the HRA articles. Germany is the only country if I seem to remember correctly who are not signed up to the HRA but to the Grundgesetz. Those affected are the 47 countries that make up the Council of Europe The EJC is the top european court, but for purely EC matters. Its easy to mix up the two legislative bodies but equally it applies to EC members. maybe they should use one court and cut out the beaurocracy!

Its interesting the conspiracy folk come into play. The guy with half his leg blown away would be in a lot of pain unless they pumped morphine or pethidine into him , but he looks to alert from that. His face looks slightly like the US soldier and I mean only slightly. Theres no sign of his fibula though.his Tibia is present. Must have been some blast . I would have thought part of his fibula would still be intact. So it could be a mock injury if you want to believe the conspiracy brigade The US soldier had above the Knee amputations while the guy in the gruesome picture has his knee and a third of his lower leg still intact. OK some may suggest thats an excellent piece of cas simulation. But the Guys knee is in place. so clearly this is not the US soldier the twitter guy refers to. So not a conspiracy theory to believed. Still a bloody mess all the same

It might not be anything to do with the EU per sae but it is based in the Eu. It only applies to members of the EU Saintandy666 or had you not picked up on that point?

Okay on a different Slant and after reading up on the Human Rights act and speaking to a social worker# The FA would be in breach of the following articles 1. Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be deprived of his life intentionally save in the execution of a sentence of a court following his conviction of a crime for which this penalty is provided by law. 2. Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure prescribed by law: 3. No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence under national or international law at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was committed. etc etc etc So I believe that PFC or PST asit is now called . should be awarded 15 points each season for the next 5 years as compenstation to ensure their lively hood is protected, They should not be deducted points. The Club are Victims of HMRC and Co constant intimidation of Freedom of thought, conscience and Right to liberty and security. Sign up to the the points credit initiative for the poor down trodden skates.

I see the ECHR have said it is against another terrorist's Human Rights to be sent to the USA . part of the Abul Hamza group If those judges making these judgements are convinced his Human Rights are infringed then why not take him into own Country , The Uk should not be responsible. ruling that sending him to the US would breach his human rights. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) decided that Broadmoor patient Aswat's probable incarceration in a high security prison could "exacerbate his condition of paranoid schizophrenia". The terror suspect and suspected ally of Abu Hamza is wanted by US prosecutors for allegedly plotting with Hamza to set up a terror training camp in Bly, Oregon.

anothersaint re Of course they don't get extra pay but you have to apportion their costs to the funeral. If they weren't on funeral duties they'd be doing something productive i.e. their day jobs. Im assuming you mean Policeman. Soldiers will either be bulling their kit, on exercise cleaning their weapons, on the drill sqaure doing PT or lying on their pits. Like wise sailors would be doing something similar , swabbing the decks or getting ****ed. The RAF well they will be either polishing what arecraft they have, moaning and drinking Tea. I now I was one of those soldiers. Have the T shirt, worn the Beret etc and done funerals both State and Military . I had many years as a soldier.

the ira and iraqi's did use ball bearings and nails in their bombs. I heard a report on the radio this morning or it might have been the early hours of this morning, that the devices were very crude in construction and anyone with a little knowledge could make them. That come from some Police officer in Boston . Interesting how all of a sudden everyone is worrying about the london marathon this weekend. I would have thought security would hve already been put in place for this event.

I was at cropwell bishop near Nottingham . My mate Chris was at the game in the opposite end. Meanwhile I was doing some plastering for him in his kitchen . On a similar vein i was serving in Cyprus at the time of the Heysel stadium incident . Watching it on Cypriot tv

Another saint not an accountant . But have done quite a few ceremonial duties and a state funeral . Us service men didn't get any extra pay . We did what we had to . Take trooping the colour . The guards etc do this every year it's part of their annual duties like changing the guard at buck palace and horse guards parade . The military are required to do anything the gov or generals etc wanted us to do . Floods ambulance fire strikes etc . I still think the £10 million is exaggerated
-
If its al queda the Americans will go ballistic . If their internal security has been compromised
-
I dont think it will cost anywhere near £10 million, I think it is a figure plucked from thin air. And by wednesday some journo will say £20 The cost for the servicemen will be free, It is part of their duties. There may be some police OT although Like servicemen they wil be on duty . but i guess . the majority of the cost will because of the police presence. Unless the govt have built in a cost for demonstartions and damage that may be caused by the anarchists and rent a mob who turn up .

scargill Why Arthur Scargill is reluctant to leave his £1.5m Barbican flat The National Union of Mineworkers is fed up of forking out for their former president, but he clearly likes his home among the thrilling multi-levelled walkways The former National Union of Mineworkers leader Arthur Scargill has lost his fight to have the union continue to meet the costs of his London flat for his lifetime. The NUM had asked Mr Justice Underhill at London's high court to declare that it has no such continuing obligation to 74-year-old Scargill, who was its president for 20 years until July 2002. Scargill has occupied the Barbican apartment, rented from the Corporation of London, since June 1982. The union also successfully disputed Scargill's fuel allowance at his Barnsley home and payment for the preparation of his annual tax return, but not the cost of the security system at his Yorkshire home. Explaining his decision, the judge said Scargill's predecessors had enjoyed the "very generous benefit" of having houses in or near London bought for them by the union, adding that they were also allowed to occupy the properties after retiring at a very low rent, or to buy them at a "very reduced price". But Scargill, he noted, had not taken up the benefit when it appeared in his first contract in 1982 – although the union's national executive committee had agreed to pay the rent and other expenses on his Barbican flat, which was near the NUM's London headquarters. He rejected Scargill's claims that the union's payment of the rent on the flat was intended to replace the benefit his predecessors had enjoyed and was therefore a lifetime benefit. This is not a daily mail report but the guardian. So someone who was a left of left in the political spectrum was also a greedy bastard . What a hypocrite

Interesting how hypocritical scargill and co were have they forgotten what scargill and the NUM did back then, In August, two miners from Manton, who protested that the strike was not 'official' without a ballot, took the NUM to court. In September the High Court ruled that the NUM had breached its own constitution by calling a strike without first holding a ballot. Scargill was fined £1,000 (which was paid for him by an anonymous donor), and the NUM was fined £200,000. When the union refused to pay its fine, an order was made to sequestrate the union's assets, but they had already been transferred abroad. By the end of January 1985, around £5 million of NUM assets had been recovered..

Jack Frost yes I watched that . I thought the debate was not really balanced . Campbell kept going to the anti thatcher folk in the audience for their views or those that were just making to much noise . And as for the drone debate where do they can some of these people . Certainly not local folk

I thought the other story under the pitch invasion in the News was more worry to the skate bastards BEGGARS were told to stop asking the public for money or face prosecution as a major police operation was launched last night. Simon Hayes, the police and crime commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, joined officers on the streets of Portsmouth to help hand out letters to beggars. The notices warned them that begging is a criminal offence – and they could face arrest if they continue.
