bungle

Of course they don't have to but businesses, especially small ones, need to get people back in their shops and spending money and so will pass on the cuts for their own benefit.

Just because you are using the internet doesn't mean you can make racist statements and get away with it. Sadly some people (and you are one), don't seen to understand this.

The problem with the initial appointment of SCW was that we should have sacked football dinosaur Redkunt at the same time, and done it properly.

It is all very well and nice and popular to have a go at MPs (note the lack of apostrophe for correct grammar), but in this instance you are well off the mark and sadly deluded. There is no way that MPs, who get one salary, paid for by the HoC authorities, are going to be able to avoid paying tax on that earning. Very few have other jobs (I think there might be a couple who still have family businesses perhaps, but not sure), and expenses are working out differently to wages and tax. There are plenty of legitmate reasons to call into question MPs, but I'm afraid you make yourself look the fool when you pretty much lie to make your agenda fit. In many ways your post is like alpine_saint on the main board.

Unfortunately Labour is not going to be helping the people that are struggling to keep their head above water. VAT is only luxury goods, so those who can't buy food and supplies aren't going to be helped, it is just big spenders getting a helping hand. Small businesses will also be in trouble: they will now get a massive wage hike in 2011 as NIC goes up. Perhaps cutting Corporation Tax for small businesses NOW would have been a good start?

Yup, forgot the NI, and totally agree that again that is wrong. As is the increase in duty on alcohol and tobacco. The bit they've got right is the principal (i.e. we need to stimulate the economy), but they've f*cked up doing it. The Tories simply just don't have any idea what is going on. I mean the Tories proposed a freeze in Council Tax. But were they planning to pay back the lost revenues to local government had they done it? If not, local authority finances would have been in a big hole. And if they were planning to pay back to local authorities, then how would they have done it. Would everyone have got the same? Just too many things left unanswered by another Cameron/Osborne soundbite with no substance.

Incorrect. A NEW higher rate of income tax (i.e. the exisiting one remains in place) of 45p in the £1 on earnings over £150,000pa will come into place in April 2011. Labour have got this half right, and the Tories are chasing their tail with no idea what is going on. However, what Labour really needed to do with get money into the pockets of those that need it. A drop of 4p in the basic rate of income tax, coupled with closing the loopholes that top earners use to wriggle out of paying tax, would have been a good start.

No idea, we got chucked out before having a drink!

Rumour is Watt is likely to return to Eastbourne, depending on if we are able to sign the riders on our wanted list.

It was worthwhile. Got to the "Hobgoblin" quicker and found a nice 7% ale.

Ah. Same reason then. One of our party had kids, and we went to the bar and the barman said we couldn't order drinks until we'd all sat down and ordered food, even though they'd found a table for the kids (right in the corner) and the kids were reading the menu. Probably the same idiot.

Your way is wrong. We got kicked out of the Monk's Retreat.

Pronunciations.

Chez is right. Not only is Saganowksi an overweight waste of space, even if he was half decent we still clearly didn't have the money available to pay his wages with the other earners on our books at that time.

Your argument is flawed because it relies on the belief that Burley was a bad manager, when in fact he was pretty good for us.

We got kicked out as one of our party called the barman a "f*cking jobsworth"!

Southampton sell wine. So do many other clubs.

You can see by the comments in the article that these results were published before the Reading game as there are quotes about the large number of fans about to travel. Of course, you think all people who go to away games are "idiots".

I don't need to read this post to know that the above is a load of crap.

We beat Reading and lo and behold alpine still manages to be the worlds most negative person.

Of course it was the normal formation. Just shows to go how little Dave Merrington knows about football! And to think, people like alpine think they get a fair reflection of the game when listening to him! Ha! McGoldrick played in "the hole" in the same way Euell did when he first came back from injury, whereas when Lallana did it he always sat a little bit deeper.

You must have been the old woman sat behind me. Good to see you have your blinkers on when watching your new scapegoat play.

Couldn't you just have added this to the other thread? I mean, I couldn't give a t*ss about your (or anyone elses) relationships. I see no problem in you having a thread about it, but do you really need a new one for each little incident?

I suggest farting as much as you can before you leave.

It involves some interesting behaviour with a wallaby, I believe.
