That was more down to EU policy. We used to be forced and paid by the EU to put our arable land out of production (is that 'planned').

No it was about rearing turkey as cheaply as possible making it more accessible to the millions

Before you award yourselves a Blue Peter Badge just remember that capitalism (with some EU subsidy) has delivered as cheap a food as we could ever have imagined. We effectively have 6 buyers and 250000 suppliers. Look up how many dairy farmers there were 10 years ago and how many there are now. All Bernard Matthews did was to make turkey cheap enough to make it an every day meal choice; people who could never afford turkey could now eat it.

I prefer the Nigerians, at least they aim big and just email me

The whole world plays the game.

My experience of dealing with BT is that they are not always computer literate and English speakers. I am polite though and normally just make small talk about cricket before putting saying my goodbyes

The trouble is he probably barely makes a living. I have made a point of being polite to these callers because they are after all just trying to earn a wage. It is their bosses I have my quarrel with.

In a properly free society you have to listen to Abu Hamza and Nick Griffin.

With their injury list it must be an opportunity

This is quite chilling. It undermines all the values that we as a free nation represent. Repulsive intolerance at the expense of the children.

I mremember the buzz of excitement when he came on - we all knew he was 'George Weah's cousin' and actually he had a half chance quite early on. He was subbed after 10 or 20mins if I recall.

Not in the spirit of things I know but in the circumstances this is good news!

Interesting, where as I generally fall on the other side of the argument I often find you quite eloquent. I am guilty of stereotyping.

Very sad

and the relevance to the Sunderland player who declined to wear a poppy is.........

Yes Dinger take the context out won't you. If you don't like what I said re-read until you understand the point I was making.

They must be squirming at being cross examined by Margaret Hodge. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businesslatestnews/9668396/Margaret-Hodges-family-company-pays-just-0.01pc-tax-on-2.1bn-of-business-generated-in-the-UK.html When will our politicians stop being hypocritical

I had assumed that Bearsy was the former Deppo. Now that was an example of a lack of freedom of speech.

as I say I miss Verbal's contributions to the debates. Where has Verbal gone?

No I definately miss Verbal. He genuinely added intellect to the debate. I am afraid with you Tokyo its like getting into an argument in a Student Union bar at one of the former polytechnics.

"not had such a good laugh in ages" Did you really mean that Bexy?

and you are very much a poor man's Verbal

So he plays for Northern Ireland or does he just hate everything British?

The idea of freedom is that you can choose one path and if people think you are hypocritical then they can tell you
