  1. So that is one of the reasons I support Labour as they are attempting try to stimulate the economy so as to produce higher growth and more Tax Revenues as well as tax increases and public sector cuts whilst the other two parties want cuts only. The emergency budget the Tories want to have fills me with dread
  2. Perhaps people on higher salaries should have their salaries reduced Mind you I have just received a letter from somebody at the Council that my hedge has grown three inches from the boundary and I need to cut it back
  3. If you cut jobs you obviously make savings but may have to increase benefits and lose tax revenue. It is not easy but the Tories dont seem to think that Waste is a bad thing usually Waste means cutting somebody's livelihood These businessmen supporting the reduction of NI have no qualms about sacking people so that profits are made.
  4. Yes I was only joking - I dont think in essence what we want from a political party is very different I have loyally supported the Labour Party (because their ideals and roots are different from the priviledge of the Tories) almost as long as my support of SFC
  5. I dont think they know the true picture because unemployment never reached 3 mill so they are currently unsure how much benefit is to be paid and how much tax income they will get as well as not knowing the true figure for growth. In March Tax Revenue was higher than expected
  6. Although I agree with your last paragraph are you sure that 50% of the electorate understand the issues as I am not sure. The Tories are playing politics with Inheritance Tax and NI rise. I doubt if they can find £6 billion this year to fund their NI reduction next and may possibly harm the economy as well 95% do not pay any inheritance tax at the moment anyway
  7. Totally agree with you for once you are now showing some sense at last
  8. 105 5 Vince out will be all over today probably 5 wickets lost this morning Our middle order batting looks rather poor at the moment We have a long tail and not much in the way of class bowlers
  9. I totally agree with you but how the points you raise are to understood by the working man in the street when most of the tabloid press feeds us with half truths I dont know. I just feel that the media should show more respect to the members of parliament but that is very difficult when lots of them seem to be at Westminster just to line their own pockets.
  10. Not me but the Real Ale Drinking Miss Whistle
  11. Yes I agree all Pardew's signings have so far been OK so if he rates Mullins thats Fine by me
  12. Well I think a lot of people would react in the same way
  13. So what would you do play for Southampton at £5k a week or Reading at £6k per week
  14. Or trying to get a better contract at Reading lets face it most footballers dont care who they play for only how much they are paid
  15. I think he was unlucky that he was recorded no doubt Clegg and Cameron have had similar spats with their aides. I think Brown had a point the Aides did not seem to have found a voter to assist the Labour cause.
  16. Who has labelled them bigots on this forum I said Yes I agree but there is a serious problem with some of them who believe that immigrants are swamping the country. There has been an influx of Eastern Europeans but most seem to pay tax and do a reasonable job in fact a pub I go to is run by a Polish family. We need to be in Europe as it is our largest trading partner and equal number of Brits go to work and live in Europe. So the attitude of this voter may have come to a be a complete surprise to Brown who got frustrated by it I think he should have addressed her concerns and not apologised because bigot was not the right word ill informed might be.
  17. That is one of the problems I agree the Daily Mail/The Sun do not give an unbiased report of the situation But I did say the problem should be dealt with because it is an issue which is festering I know in Slough nearby there have been a large influx of Eastern Europeans
  18. Yes we do but not a 36 year old Lee Carsley who has been injured and not played in the League this year. See what happened to Murty
  19. God only knows what Alpine will contribute
  20. Yes I agree but there is a serious problem with some of them who believe that immigrants are swamping the country.

  21. The facts are in this Web Page http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~2037497,00.html
  22. So what really is the problem buying an unfit injury prone 36 year old
  23. The 36-year-old's last appearance for Blues was in the FA Cup at the start of the year and he has not been involved in a League game since early November. The former Republic of Ireland international has also been sidelined by an ankle knock there seem to be two very good reasons not to sign him
  24. They were 100 for 7 when I looked earlier now 327 for 9 382 all out
  25. Sorry just think you are wrong Posting on emotion not realism and not seeing the wider a picture based on a belief that Markus will be here forever and willing to spend most of his fortune.
