It is a great place. I've been half a dozen times from the Villa in Puerto Banus and love everything about the place. It's just like a little piece of England on the med.

I had to chuckle at Hariett Harman, the Devina McCall of politics, and her little temper tantrum today.

Johnny you're just a modern and caring Conservative like David Cameron and his team.

It must be very rewarding. I just hope you don't work with those with disabilities given the horrid names you use to describe them on here.

When we played in the JPT final it took an eternity for my tickets to arrive and I telephoned the club to enquire as I considered the selling arrangements to have been poor especially in lieu of the booking tax. The poor girl at Saints ticket office said they'd been inundated with calls asking where the tickets were and when I pressed her as to why things had taken so long she said that Nicola Cortese had taken personal charge of the selling arrangements. She may have been lieing, but I believed her.

It's not ethical to introduce a booking fee of £3 in the same way as it's not ethical to charge customers to use the toilet on an aeroplane. When you buy a ticket for a football match that should be it - you buy a ticket. The wthdrawal of the installment plan was unethical because it contravened the fans charter and was done with no notice given. If the club had announced in January that there would be no installment plan available that would have been reasonable, but to show utter contempt for fans by withdrawing the scheme like they did was wrong.

Are they still closing the border?

If we don't will you concede that the Libservatives made the right call?

The Foreign Office has made an official complaint to Spain after the latest in a series of confrontations over the sovereignty of the Rock. This would suggest that the vessel wasn't supposed to be there would you not agree?

The Gibraltar Incident The patrol boat came perilously close to heavily-armed warship HMS Somerset and fast patrol boat HMS Sabre, ignoring warnings to stop. It risked being fired upon after failing to identify itself at Gibraltar while the Navy carried out an anti-terrorist exercise on June 1. The USS Cole Incident On October 12, 2000, USS Cole, under the command of Commander Kirk Lippold, set in to Aden harbor for a routine fuel stop. Cole completed mooring at 09:30. Refueling started at 10:30. Around 11:18 local time (08:18 UTC), a small craft approached the port side of the destroyer, and an explosion occurred, putting a 40-by-40-foot gash in the ship's port side according to the memorial plate to those who lost their lives.

Does USS Cole mean anything to you?

Labour are in the pocket of the Unions so they would have gone out of their way to raise taxes rather than make the necessary cuts to the public sector. The Libservatives have done the right thing in keeping tax rises to a minimum and i'm grateful to them for that.

This is a group I do support. Without mentioning names I have noticed that some posters on here display a vile attitude towards the disabled, but these people are amongst the most vulnerable in our society and as such should be exempt from future cuts. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=339296849588&v=wall

Not while Cortese continues to make unethical business decisions. That said I think most are united in thinking the withdrawal of the installment plan and the Ryanairesque booking tax are wrong.

I liked how Nick Clegg said thankyou to David Cameron during the budget. Despite the divisions the discredited Labour party are trying to create the coalition are working as a team and putting their differences aside for the good of the country.

It's about time the government got tough and sunk the next Spanish boat to enter British waters. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/182304/Spanish-police-spark-Gibraltar-alert

Good. All you need is a room with desks chairs and a blackboard.

Gynaecologists don't come cheap.

The BNP will end the scandalous situation of NHS underfunding by reallocating money from the foreign aid budget. The reported NHS deficit is £620 million and the current foreign aid budget is £9.1 billion. This is a policy I would support. Why should money from British tax payers be given to third world countries that are only in the position they are due to their own incompetence. I was reading an article yesterday about a Zimbabwean farm that was once the most productive farm on the continent - it's now wasteland. Foreign aid donations should never come from the taxpayer because we are not a charity.

I have had to increase my pension contributions and on top of that I choose to pay £200 per month extra in additional voluntary contributions. I'm lucky to be in a final salary scheme, but others in the private sector have seen their final salary schemes closed thanks to the Labour scum raiding the pension schemes and making them too costly for employers.
-
What a great budget. It makes such a refreshing change to have government that looks past just tax rises, and instead gets it's teeth into the public sector. For the past year or so it's been the private sector that have borne the brunt so it's about time the public sector were dragged into the real world. They won't like it though because they always like to play the victim card.
-
The sentences do seem harsh but in terms of a detterent they are just what was needed. In recent years hooliganism has once again grown and it's only tough action such as this that will make the hoodlums think twice. If in future derbies there is less trouble then you'll be grateful that the courts took this action.
-
Yes, because all the yobs now know where they stand. Behave or go to jail.
-
If there was any justice we would start by seizing the assets of every Labour voter. They are the basket cases who got us into this mess.

BTF you can have as many fits of the vapours as you like but the fact remains it was your Labour lot that got us into this mess.
