Said on the radio that the heavy tug used to assist her is on the list for the chop - they'd better be more careful with her in future.

There are plenty at Whitehall I'd take a spanner to.

And now all the neighbouring countries in the Middle East are complaining that by destabilising Iraq we have permitted Iran to gain in influence - they saw Saddam as a bulwark supporting the Arab peoples.

This.

Kinda makes you feel sorry for the Devil looking at who's queuing up for a berth

Ian Duncan Smith says "get on a bus and find a job". By the Government's own figures there are approx 450 thousand jobs currently on the market. There are currently something like 2.3 million claiming Job Seeker's Allowance. Up to 500 thousand more will be added to that total from public sector job losses in the next 4 years, plus there will be those moved from invalidity benefits back into the jobs market. Simple platitudes from upper class, public school educated, people of independent means, do not solve the problems of real hardship and poverty that their policies cause.

What about Churchill ? He was PM whilst we were fire bombing Dresden, Cologne & Hamburg. And it's not just the total headcount, it's the company they keep :Thatcher supported dictators like Pinochet, even visiting & lauding him whilst he was under house arrest.

He shoots from the hip, and often without looking at the target, but the fans up here love him.

So is it 1%, 2%, 5% - take an educated guess. Have you tried filling in the forms required to claim some of these benefits ? Have you tried to get a justifiable claim for Disability Living Allowance accepted ? Just because the Daily Heil or the Torygraph manage to dredge up and build a story around some pond scum, that doesn't mean that is indicative of what living on welfare really means for those people who would like to work but cannot, because the system works against them. It's difficult to 'get on your bike' when you need help just to get out of the front door.

200 nanometres long. An absolutely amazing piece of micro-engineering.

Dune, is it your opinion that ALL people on benefits are slobs ? If not, what proportion would you reckon qualify as such ? What percentage of the welfare budget is being correctly distributed to those that deserve or need to be helped ?

I have just spent 20 minutes composing a wordy and erudite response, and then accidentally hit the wrong key & deleted it all, ( so much for working in IT ). Suffice to say, I am reasonable well educated, hopefully can be considered intelligent, view myself as being well informed, and entitled to form and hold my own opinions; and in my opinion there is one special day towards which, out of bitter experience, I have been looking with anticipation for many, many years. My wife, who is probably more intelligent than I, and certainly more astute, is also looking forward to coming to the party. Bliar dragged us into 2 illegal wars, by being securely attached to the ar$e of possibly the least intelligent man ever to lead the government of a country. Brown was yesterday's man by the time he was made leader of the Labour Party, and by sticking too strongly to his dogmatic economic 'prudence' failed to 'put something away for a rainy day', but Maggie destroyed our economic base. She set the foundations for our reliance on the service and financial sectors, and she followed by the Grey Man, ( how on earth DID John Major win that election ? ), set out the principles of the 'light touch' regulation that New Labour adopted, and which led to the meltdown in world markets. The politics of greed and the Loadsamoney attitude will always be her legacy, and words like compassion and altruism risk being lost forever from our language as a result.

who ?

The Israeli version of Strictly Come Dancing is about to get it's first lesbian celebrity, she will be dancing with a female professional.

R&B is Rhythm & Blues - what they are talking about is more like an evolution of Philadelphia Soul. What does R&B refer to in this context anyway ?

I am still looking forward to THAT party once the old ratbag finally shuffles off.

I'd certainly put him behind Thatch, but that's a personal view. I suppose it all depends on how long 'living memory' is.

He is a politician - In the next 5 years we will get just as much BS and deception from the ConDems as we got from Labour. They are all the same, as Paull Weller wrote "You choose your leaders and place your trust As their lies put you down and their promises bust".
