The full effects of the cuts have yet to be felt, ( but have already bitten in our house :-( ).

No surprise there.

What exactly do you think you have 'won' ?

Many of the riders at the front were not going to chase him. His team mates, ( Cavendish, Stybar, Uran, Vermote), had no reason to, Froome and Thomas were happy to relinquish responsibility for the Maillot Jaune; and Nibali, Quintana, and Contador know he isn't a long term threat for the overall GC. Besides which, over a 3Km time trial, he is probably the fastest in the world.

Chrome browser within Windows / UNIX, or chrome OS ? There seem to be some issues with the browser after updates have been applied, as GOOGLE have removed support for a Microsoft API. if not using chrome OS try using an alternative browser. A possible solution if using Windows is to ensure that SilverLight is installed and up to date, other than that it looks like a patch will be needed for MS Exchange to restore chrome compatibility.

Have they yet claimed the women's World Cup, owing to the fact the US coach was born in Skatesville ?

If you're referring to Housing Benefits, that's just more self-serving by those with their snouts in the gravy trough, if there is any truth behind this story : http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/tory-mps-donors-taking-millions-5614468. ( I beleive that some Labour & LD MPs are doing the same ).

When there are sometimes over 100 applicants per job advertised, simple economics will keep such companies running. When they are run by Tory peers and their profits are effectively boosted by benefits, it just grates more. It will be interesting / worrying to see the consequences of any cuts to the Tax Credit and Housing Benefits systems in Georgie Porgy's budget.

The submarine borne nuclear deterrent should be binned, it has no useful contribution to make to the current mode of military interventions that successive Governments are committing us to. ( Whether these operations are justified is an entirely different debate ).

I am happy living in the UK, can't understand why anybody would leave. love & peace

There's no need to 'twist' your words.

It's a very complicated picture - for instance there are the Kurds, who are probably the most effective ground forces facing ISIS, but Turkey refuses to provide any form of support or access as the Turks view the Kurds as terrorists, and object to any mention of the formal establishment of a Kurdish controlled territory in northern Syria. Elsewhere, ISIS and Al-Quaeeda / Al-Nusra are at each other's throats. Then there is the US policy of creating 'friendly' anti-ISIS militias, which doesn't really seem to have acheived anything effective, yet ultimately 'boots on the ground', of whatever creed, are essential to winning the conflict - air strikes will not win independently, but western 'boots' would only add to IS's appeal. With hindsight, would we have been better off leaving Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadaffi in power ?

Perhaps the officer was justified, perhaps he had no other option, perhaps the escaped murderer 'got what he deserved'; the difference to other Police shootings discussed on here, which sarnie still fails to spot, is that he wasn't an innocent person who might just have missed a stop sign. In sarnie's world, any use of firearms by the Police is ALWAYS justified, and the victim ALWAYS brings it on themselves.

The same way prison escapees are captured in the UK, by the use of non-lethal force.

You were born, and presumably educated, in Britain, so that surely means you have a 'Brit' intelligence level ?

Thrust

I don't have to, I can judge by the rubbish you post on here !

From some of his 'debating' on here it seems that he knows the square root of f@@@ all. Does anybody, other than sarnie, think he has 'won' ?

Why do you think I left ?
