I agree. You can't blame the assylum seekers, this is what you get by allowing a Labour government to run the country for 13 years. I will be emailing IDS today and will tell him in no uncertain terms that until he sorts the mess out I will continue to vote for the UKIP.

But does it pass the bonnet/dashboard test?

Mr Nur said his former five-bedroom home in the Kensal Rise area of Brent, which cost £900 a week in housing benefit, was suitable for the family's needs but he said they had felt compelled to move because they did not like living 'in a very poor area' and were unhappy with the quality of local shops and schools. He said he found the new house through a friend who knew the landlord, arranged to rent it through an estate agent, then approached officials at Kensington and Chelsea council who said 'it would be no problem' to move. Rules allow anyone who is eligible for housing benefit to claim for a private property in any part of the country they wish. The £2,000 per week is paid directly to Mr Nur and his family, who then pay their landlord.

Not only do we pay for him and his family to sit on their arses in the lap of luxury, but we pay him £2000 a week so he can pay the landlord the rent on a property that was advertised at £1050 a week. I bet he pockets a nice little chunk of the £2000.

We're talking about places in town and if you were into proper 90's house it was better than the run of the mill venues with ****ish bouncers and comercial tunes. Of course it wasn't a patch on good clubs outside Soouthampton, but they were always hit and miss. 50% of trips to "top clubs" always seemed to be a let down. Cream up in Liverpool was OK but in line with my luck it got raided the night we went cue everyone necking their contraband lol.

French cars are crap - all of them.

Exactly. Give the bonnet and the dashboard of a German car a little tap and it's solid, do the same on a Ford, Vauxhall, peugeot etc and it's cheap and flimsy. And check out 10 year old cars and you'll strugle to find any rust on audi's, but budget cars are falling apart.

Willy Walsh sends his regards.

So the rumour deleted by the mods for potentially being highly libelous may be true...

Boring. I'd have preferred a yellow shirt.

I'm not going to respond to your little tantrum, but will address this point. I do consider your responses, but by and large I consider them mostly to be wrong. I then tell you why I think you're wrong. As Wes points out the previous Conservative government inherritted a country that had to go cap in hand to the IMF - we were the sick man of Europe and the Conservatives had to take the tough decisions that put us back on our feet.

Is it too much to ask that you start behaving like an adult? You complain about being sworn at in the classroom, but clearly you need to grow up as much as the children you teach.

He's keeled soomone which is not neeece reeely.

GEORGE Osborne last night faced demands to slash Britain’s overseas aid budget after the Treasury was swamped with ideas from voters on how to cut Government waste. The Chancellor launched a massive drive yesterday to consult the public over what areas of spending should be reduced to help curb the country’s debt crisis. But as hundreds of ideas were sent to a Treasury website, the most popular suggestion was to make big cuts in overseas aid. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/186090/Slash-foreign-aid-voters-tell-George-Osborne I've long believed that Foreign Aid should be slashed and the money spent at home so it's good to see that this saving is at the top of the list of suggestions from the general public.

The point i'm making is simple and it is that Labour had 13 years to introduce regulations to prevent the banking crisis - why didn't Brown or the Labour created FSA use common sense and heed the warning from the 20's? I will tell you why nothing was done, nothing was done because Prudence Brown was so consumed by his own ego that he believed he was akin to an alchemist and that the threat of boom and bust would never happen again because of him. So as a government Labour had no interest in reigning in the reckless lending because as a government Labour were a reckless borrower and had no desire to reign their own spending in. Labour led by example, and that is why the period 1997 - 2010 will go down as the age of the credit card, wheras the next 10 or 15 years will be known as the age of austerity where the debts are payed back. As you are so well read, despite strangely not having read 1984 or the Guardians, I would imagine you are familiar with The Adventure of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi (abeit through the Disney film) and this book gives a good example of the last 13 years of Labour what with the lies and the excesses of the land of play. I find that far better lessons are learnt through scholarly literature, than through national curriculum text books.

How could you have shattered my point when I know much more than you do on the subject? You have however highlighted the cause - poor regulation. So what did Labour do to prevent the banking crisis during their 13 years?

lol, Prescott was "Old Labour".

I notice you've got nothing to add.

Just thought of another funny moment. I was off my head one time and went for a hair cut and for some reason felt a whitey coming on - was thinking hurry up you ****, i can't hold out much longer. In the end just told the hairdresser yeah that's fine, here's your money, and ****ed off with half a haircut. Never went back to that hairdressers after that.

the octopus thing went for spain which is no good for my dream team, but polly parrot or whatever its called went for holland so i'm happy.

If ever there was an epitamy of a two faced champagne Socialist it's Baron Two Jags. For a man who said he doesn't care for "too much flunkery and titles" both him and his social climbing wife have well and truely shown their true colours. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/185898/John-Prescott-takes-place-in-House-of-Lords

It depends how you categories a "complete nobber". Driving a Saab or a Volvo is fine if you're a senior citizen, but if not you just look like a history teacher that's lost his caravan.

No top nightspots thread would be complete without mentioning the sity of sound. Great for pulling a pig on a Friday night.

No it wasn't, it's always been rubbish.

Sounds like a gypsy horse fair tbh.
