Brighton 0 - 1 Carlise. Just goes to show what we couldve done if Pardew wasnt such a nob.
-
This is more like a pre season friendly.
-
80th minute probably.
-
Pardew has got it wrong again today.

If I was chancellor i'd be bold and put VAT up to 25% for next 5 years which would bring in an extra £500 billion.
-
The boundaries certainly need to be looked at because they strongly favour Labour.
-
My all time favourites would Douglas Hurd for the Tories, Dennis Skinner for Labour, Paddy Ashdown for the Liberals. All different, but what you see is what you get with them.

I agree with everything you said about Portillo, perhaps it's an age thing but he's certainly less smug looking now. I also watch this week and it has be said that that Diane Abbott is thick as ****.

My company still has a final salary pension scheme open to everyone, but they've had to inject a £100m lump sum into it to keep it going - they don't come cheap! At present you can retire early, but that' option is going and from 2012 the minimum retirement age will be 55. The final salary is worked out at the best two years out of the last 10. It's a good deal but I also pay an extra £200 per month into the company run AVC scheme which is a very smart way to go because you don't get taxed on contributions and you can take up to 25% of your life allowance tax free on retirement as a lump sum. I've spoke to my pensions adviser and will continue with the AVC until it surpases the 25%. My comapny has also recently adopted pen smart whereby your pension contributions are deducted from your gross salary so you pay less NI.

In the event of a hung parliament will they form a coalition with Labour or the Conservatives?

Lets close the Final Salary scheme to new members, make them work until they're 65 like the rest of us. I'm in two minds over this - i have a final salary pension scheme and am glad i do. No child benefit or WFTC for higher rate tax payers. That's sensible. Let's cut the overseas aid budget in half - i would go further and cancel overseas aid altogether, and let's get rid of all the "non jobs" that are advertised in the Guardian. There's certainly far too many penpushers. Let's stop bribing the unions with millions for their "modernising" - to be fair i think it's just a fiddle with unions like Unite giving it back to Labour, and let's cut parliament by 20%. Disagree, parliament cost a miniscule amount in te scheme of things. Cut the Scottish and Welsh budgets, if they can afford to give free health care/priscriptions and university fees the Barnett formula is not working. Agree - and if they complain poll English voters on whether we throw them out of the Union

I'll have a fiver on Ruby.

Gordon Brown is a complete fake - we never saw him smile until 2009 and now he permanenlty wears that insipid grin like the wind changed.
-
The level of debt the Socialists have built up is truely frightening. If i'd been chancelleor dring the past 13 years i'd have run a budget surplus while the sun was shining, yet Brown continued to spend spend spend and racked up the debt even then. It's a scandal the mess this country finds itself in.
-
The key choice at the election is between starting to tackle Britains mountain of debt straight away, or the mañana approach of the Socialists. You only have to look at Greece to see where Britain could well end up if Labour get in again. We're in a groundhog day situation - it's 1979 all over again. The Tories mended the sick man of Europe then and they can do it again. I'm no fan of George Osborne, but Ken Clarke is on the front bench and he will be a strong influence on economic matters. The choice is stark, vote Labour and risk us going the way of Greece or vote Tory and resusitate the sick man of Europe.

Lets have your predictions for how many points we will finish on
dune replied to Turkish's topic in The Saints
70 points. -
None yet, but seen loads of Conservative Vote for Change signs along the road sides. I'm hoping i'm at home if a Labour one calls so I can tell them exactly why i'm not voting for them.
-
I respect your views (although I don't agree with them) and would much prefer to read them without the attitude, that's all i'm saying.
