I cannot but smirk at this. 'Yank'; Thorpe Le Saint are you racist towards our American cousins? Is it OK to be racist towards some people and not others?

Ashamed to say BNP. Very interesting to discover I have an inner Nazi inside of me!

Wiltshire Saint you are very wrong; I believe passionately that you get the best out of people when you look after them - look at John Lewis. The problem is that we compete in a global marketplace where companies will go elsewhere if they feel they can operate more competively - that is life rightly or wrongly. Unions have made the UK marketplace unattractive to foreign investors as Top Gun's example illustrates. That is why we have a shrinking private sector and a growng public sector (how long can that go on?). The public sector worker generally has shorter hours, takes more time off sick, has longer holidays and retires earlier. We in the private sector have been told that we must retire later to accomodate this. It is market forces. Your model would have us like Cuba.

Unions no doubt have a role to play but it is a buyers market today and if you do not accept it then they will loom elsewhere; like East Europe. This comment sums up a mentality that should stay firmly in the seventies. How many other foreign investors have been turned away from propsectus sites by this attitude.

It makes a lot of sense to sign a player on to your pay roll now knowing that he cannot play for you until next season.

Cheers Woodsaint saved me a lot of searching!

For my boys birthday I want to get him a full strip but do not know where I can find it on the saints online shop. What should I look for?

So basically its either 9 points off or AFC Portsmouth

Is it just me but why have they not had their nine points chooped off yet?

If you want socialism go and live in Belarus or Cuba.

Yes Fuengirola Saint and the Socialist model you live under in Spain has delivered..... .....20% unemployment. It is the entrepreneurs, the pioneers the innovators and the ambitious that will get us out of this mess; the wealth creators. You have to create the right environement for them to flourish and that means lower taxes.

Fuengirola Saint how do you define fair; it was fairer for some and unfair for others and like all new taxes woudl probably raise more money than the previous system.

Thank you for the economics lecture Fuengirola Saint. Out of interest what do you do in Spain?

How many Lord Montugu's are there Fuengirola? I expect you may have noticed in Spain that we are being run a bit like Portsmouth FC and that is why your pound does not go as far as it did. Stop fighting your class war and think of the bigger picture.

Thorpey you are not getting all pseudi Intellectual are you!?? It is a sweeping statement to say that academics have dismissed Haig as a Donkey. Some have it is true but not all. Personally (and I am not an academic) from what I have read of him I concluded him to be a butcher lacking in Charisma (he was hardly Custer or Monty), who fought a war with very limited flair. He received a state funeral in my opinion because Britain needed a hero to celebrate a decade after the end of the war and because of his work for ex servicemen after the war.

If you are not a socialist when you are twenty then you have not got a heart but if you are still a socialist when you are forty then you have not got a head. However unsavoury, Britain has to be run as a business and Michael Foot's vision was based on an ideology that would have crippled us. Maggie got it right; people lost their jobs not because of her but because the Unions had made us uncompetitive in a global marketplace. What socialists never understand is that not everyone can work for the State; somebody has to create wealth. There will always be pigs at the top but under socialism there will be fewer of them.

Always a tragedy to see the passing of politicians motivated by a sense of duty. When he went into politics poverty was judged in very different terms.

Maybe not pressing for you Thorpe Le Saint but not to those who live there or those and there relatives that fought and maybe died there to preserve the freedom of a people to live how they want to it is pretty important. To not show them respect is stunningly breath taking arrogance. Is it patronising to point out that you should do you back ground reading before you start discussing and expressing strong opinions on a topic that is close to some peoples hearts and not yours. Isn't it a pseudo intellectual who pretends to know a lot about an issue when he has not read up on his facts. I will opt out of being rude to you.

Who governs the Falklands should be a matter for its population. That is a basic human right. Being from the South many have connections to people who risked or even lost their lives for that principle. It would be a betrayal of them and the Islanders themselves.

I prefer this rant in the European Parliament

We should run with this and demand that we are reinstated. If they broke the rules then at best we get a replay.

So then Thorpe Le Saint how many Argentinian settlers have ever lived on the Falklands? Surely have inhabited the islands for the longest the Islanders have the right to determine THEIR ISLANDS. The Islands were discovered by Europeans not Argies. Well actually if you look at the Falklands then there are quite a lot of similarities with Hitler. We defeated a fascist military junta - the reason why Socialists like Michael Foot supported the war. Ironically Blair was against action Instead of playing around in the student union I suggest you go to the library and read your facts up.

Tedious student politics devoid of an understanding of the real world and how nations work and the responsibilty a nation owes to its citizens.
