John B

and he is a Tory

And as Vince Cable says it is all the fault of the Tories who deregulated the Financil Sector in the 1980s

The NI is an interesting political point which the Tories appear to be currently winning. The bosses of course do not want to pay more in taxes which reduce their profits they would prefer job cuts in the public sector and reduced services. There appears to be a choice the Tories want to reduce the defict by reducing services by cost cutting with public workers affected and Labour wants to reduce the defict by raising taxes. It is quite possible to raise £6billion with the increase in NI but not so certain to raise £6billion in public sector cuts without putting the recovery at risk which is being led by the Public Sector. It is only a political ploy really a good one never the less.

I agree that some of the lending was reckless but surely it is the responsibility of the bank to supervise and manage its dealings and not the responsibility of the government. But of course the FSA should have had a better hold on the situation.

I dont think so but as you indicate who really knows

Also Nicola's odd £Million or so possibly low for a banker;)

He was released on Bail whilst further enquiries are carried out I would have thought

He is a whizz with figures dont you know but is probably in the right area

Leeds no I would have thought going into Admin But Norwich I have no idea

Why do you want to get rid of Labour as a matter of interest What do the Tories offer that Labour does not

I think you maybe listening to the simplistic PR being peddled by the Tory Press. The credit crunch was a global phenomen caused mostly in the US where banks were lending money they did not have and the UK and USA were the leading countries resolving the crisis I am glad Brown and Darling were in charge and things look better now because of their action Our Public Services are now significantly better than in past years have you seen all the new facilities at the General and RS Hants Hospitals

Are all such fights regularly reported by the Echo? Or do the Old Bill want more evidence

No quite serious. Things seem to be going better than I thought when in October 2008 the whole banking sector could have failed and a depression was forecast with really large numbers unemployed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8598689.stm

More money for Transfers Possibly

Are you sure GBH is a very serious I would have thought I see it is actual bodily harm now not so bad

Yes some good points but what is wrong sharing the gate receipts it used to work well and SFC could compete with the other clubs

Yes but lots of League 1 Clubs have low attendances and have not had so many cup games

I used to work at Brentford and lived in West Ealing/Hanwell so I know the area pretty well I would suggest look at Boston Manor which is attached to West Ealing http://www.bing.com/search?q=guest%20house%20boston%20manor&mkt=en-gb&FORM=DLCTBR&DI=2883&CE=14.0&CM=SearchWeb

I think he would like to think of himself as Blair 2 but Blair was a pretty strong and forceful leader . Dont think Brown will be with us for five years I feel that he will get the economy right and then go Labour do seem to have got us through the recession pretty well despite our over dependence on the Financial Sector http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8606499.stm

What do people on here think of Cameron? Is he a fast talking opportunist or has he got something He could be the Prime Minister is a month or so which frightens me

What is the situation regarding Tax does SFC pay anything?

I thought Wenger was following Drogba as well

No this is correct I think Lallana, 21, has a year remaining on his current deal at St Mary's and Southampton would receive compensation if he chose to run his deal down

I agree but this bit is interesting Lallana, 21, has a year remaining on his current deal at St Mary's and Southampton would receive compensation if he chose to run his deal down but the club maybe tempted cash in youngster if the right offer was made. I would have thought offering Adam a new deal would be a good idea
