Of course they are. They are both Deppo.

For the record i'm not norwaysaint. Believe this or don't, i'm not bothered.

The other thread was better.

I'm surprised the Liberal Elite haven't had something to say about the thread title.

TBF i'd expect the football is a small part of it.

You must all be mad. Great support and welldone to everyone making the effort.

If anyone brakes into your house you should be allowed to kill them, however this puts us down the American route and if home owners have more powers it would mean burgulars would come tooled up more too. It's a difficult one to legislate for and get right.

This comment perfectly illustrates the attitude of the Liberal Elite. Sergei, angelman, and myself are championing rights for disabled people, but because it has been found that holier than thou members of the parliamentary Labour party mock disabilities norwaysaint in turn mocks our opinions. Sadly we have all become accustomed to the hypocrisy of the left.

Tom Harris MP, who did not attend the debate at which Maynard says he was mocked, told BBC Radio 5 Live on Saturday that he did not think any of the MPs who were there knew about Maynard's disability. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/joepublic/2011/feb/08/disabled-people-paul-maynard-mps-discrimination I didn't realise he had a disability until it was pointed out on this thread.

And you have George Osborne to thank for that for "taking us out of the danger zone".

Someone I know recently got his golf tdi crushed.

There you all go jumping to completely the wrong conclusion of what I was laughing at. I most certainly was not laughing at any disability he may or may not have.

It made me laugh.

Crap. Another easy jolly and another poor start to a season. We'll never learn.

Saw this fella on BBC parliamant the other day. OMG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B4HuFycycg

I was hypothically thinking of about 600. Does wrapping them in a towel in a suitcase constitute trying to conceal them too deeply?

What would happen if someone was caught bringing slightly over their cigarette allowance into the UK?

You only profit from gains over and above the set threshhold that the treasury will take back i.e over the amount to reimburse the treasury from the initial bailout. Of course you could argue that the great unwashed will sell up once they've gained enough to buy a packet of fags, but as far as I understand it if the SP drops below the threshold the shares won't be sold as there would be no gain and thus they wouldn't be applicable for sale. Therefore my understanding is that shares can only be sold at, or above, the initial bailout cost. This SP at this level is higher than todays SP so if and when this scenario becomes applicable you will have at least have recouped some of your loss and therefore it won't be a bad position to be in.

I believe that poor Nick Clegg was allowed to unveil the scheme, but that it was a Conservative idea.

At the end of the day we have a choice - Conservative or Labour. I may not agree with every Conservative policy, but having them in power in infinitely better than Labour.

Can we get back on topic please. This thread is about saying thankyou to David Cameron.
-
I think it's a brilliant idea because what it will mean is that the sale of the shares will be staggered. Compare the scenario to when the one eyed idiot sold our bullion reserves. This is the difference between a competent Conservative government and clueless Labour government.

That's not how it works. I would expect the Liberal Elite to be up in arms on my behalf. Whether I was up in arms or not would be irrelevent. The Liberal Elite would decide for me what I thought about it. So Thorpie let me know what I think about it please and then speak for me on it. Don't bother to ask my opinion, just say what you think I should be thinking. -
Every adult in Britain could be handed free bank shares worth £1,000 when nationalised institutions are sold off.Under the unprecedented give-away, the Government would hand over its stakes in Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group to 46million voters. Under the plan, each UK citizen could receive about 1,450 shares in RBS and 440 in Lloyds – worth up to £1,000 at current market prices – which would be deposited in individual trading accounts. A ‘floor price’ for the free shares would be set. This is likely to be in the region of 74p for Lloyds stock and 51p for RBS stock – the level at which the government bail-out money was injected. Individuals would only keep any gains made above that floor price. Put simply, if the shares rose in value to £1,500 and they decided to cash in, each taxpayer would make a £500 profit after £1,000 goes back to the Treasury. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2007103/Nick-Clegg-urges-Treasury-hand-taxpayers-sell-bank-shares.html I would imagine the scheme will be rolled out just before the 2015 election.
