Front bench of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. Oh, and was that an example of biased BBC programming ? Where the f()ck did they drag Mellor up from ?

And few greedy merchant bankers and speculative mortgage brokers nearly brought it crashing to it's knees. -
Angela Eagle is spot on in all respects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtAijmbI3aw

I particularly liked "David Cameron failed to win the election despite being against Gordon Brown"

I've corrected it for you. Try repeating this mantra 'NOBODY won the election, so now we have a COALITION Government' until you get a grip on reality. -
Quote from my son playing FM in the next room - "It's not cheating if Portsmouth lose". Good lad.

( 16:40 ) ( 16:41 ) You are so fickle !

Where's all the gloom from last week ?

You missed off Oswald Mosley
-
Of course he has objective thoughts, he objects to anything state owned, state financed, or that doesn't make him money.
-
He can't, it's the only one he's got, ( and it's a 78 at that ).

And I'm shocked you haven't responded to my post about WSC.

Dune, just remind us - 1) where was Churchill born ? 2) Into which family ? 3) Who was his father ? 4) What political offices did his father hold, and for which party ? Hardly going to be enamoured of the 'great unwashed'. And for another of WSC's political judgements, try this http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/soutikbiswas/2010/10/how_churchill_starved_india.html, but as it's on the BBC it's bound to be biased.

There is nothing envious about poiniting out that somebody who thinks £10K is small change is unlikely to understand the concept of 'short of money'. It is just one of a number of remarks that indicate poor judgement, yet again, in a member of Government.
-
It is, it's the rest of the media leaning to the right that distorts the perception of what the BBC does, it's merely left of Murdoch.
-
It's a good counter balance to the right wing bias of the Murdoch media conglomerate.

No he wasn't - he said "the vast majority" and also referred to the '"so called recesssion", before adding "because anybody, most people with a mortgage who were paying a lot of money each month, suddenly started paying very little each month" - the average reduction over the last 2 years has been just over £100 per month, from £4792 pa to £3466, according to Sainsbury's, ( http://www.everyinvestor.co.uk/personal-finance/mortgages/cost-of-running-average-home-falls-14pc-to--8-059- ), hardly equates to 'paying very little'. And as for " I don't remember in 07 being short of money", he wouldn't, he's a multi-millionaire.

Well the first one will hopefully have nice weather, so a walk in the Lake District will go down well, and as for the second, here's hoping, because it will mean Chuck is still on the sidelines.

You don't know what the REAL world looks like. Admittedly there is posturing on both sides, but for instance, Greater Manchester Police are claiming that upwards of 1000 operational front line staff are at risk, notwithstanding the essential ICT and civilian administrative & operations staff required to keep a modern technology dependent Police force working. And as for 'taking spending back to the levels of a few years ago', I will give you a FACT: the budget at my employers, 6 years ago, was a certain amount, measured as £X millions, ( the exact number is not important ). Over the next 4 years, the budget will be slashed by 32%, back to £X million, exactly the same amount ( give or take the odd thousand ), so allowing for 10 years of inflation that is a 'real terms' cut of probably more than 20%. And I am pleased that you are not going to be affected. ( Yet ! ).

He said "the vast majority....", and he was wrong.

How many less Police officers would you accept ? How many public libraries & swimming pools can close ? How many day care centres for the elderly can be shut down ? It's all well and good claiming that expenditure is simply going back to the level of a few years ago, but the nature of the cuts, and where they are being applied, will hit real front-line services, despite all the bluster that emanates from Downing Street.
