I absolutely love it!! 'Identity politics' the term the politically correct give to racism for non whites! Identity politics serves you very well because it helps you justify your hypocrisy.

It is quite straightforward; labeling somebody a chocice is designed to be offensive and is tied to race. It implies that they may look like one of 'us' but actually they are one of 'them'. I find it surprising that somebody so quick to identify racism normally cannot recognise such a blatent example of it. Or do you believe that racism can only work one way?

The point I am crudely making is that you attempt to dress up Ferdinand's Choc Ice tweet as some term born out of oppression and 'unhelpful' but not racist is excusing him - one rule for Ferdinand and one for Terry. I would argue that it is every bit as racist as John Terry's unpalatable name calling because it is deeply divisive and designed to be every bit as offensive. In fact when you add humour to a jibe it adds ridicule. I then suggest that however odious, these two footballers are just name calling and arresting them is absurd. I conclude by asking why we cannot just consclude that they are a pir of idiots.

You cannot introduce an intellectual slant on this. The term choc ice is a pretty odious and divisive with race at its core. Rio Ferdinand cannot run with the fox and the hounds. If John Terry is held to account then so should he be. That said I find it absolutely ludicrous that today so much money and attention can have been wasted on what is basically name calling. Quite pathetic. If somebody talks like an idiot then that is how they should be judged.

You were talking about sterotypes; I was pointing out that actually in many ways that the left are better at it than the Tories. Sucking up to Murtdoch is what politicians of all parties do.

I am afraid new Labour made the Tories look squeaky clean on corruption.

I too have always enjoyed DellDays posts.

That fella in the House of Commons Bar who has a similar affection to Tories as yourself; I think he was as well.

I have already apologised for getting the wrong special forces. I got muddled up with Pantsdown. Is the selection criteria different for the SAS if you are in the TA.

Its the trouble with democracy; who is going to get elected saying we are going introduce savage cuts. We will just end up like Spain and the others in a decade. As for the PIGS in a decade you really do worry.

Yes welcome to the real world.

You really do live in another world. Do you think China will buy into your cosy little world vision. Not if you see what they are doing in Africa.

Politicians should have to have at least five years working in the real world.

Before money you would have had to fight for your food and shelter. Would that be a better system?

Well, I sell my insight to companies like Heineken, they then pay money and that creates wealth. I thought you knew everything.

Believe it or not you have to create wealth to feed and house yourself. I know this is not the case in Liverpool of course.

I am sure you are well intentioned Pap but please try and live in the real world. You create wealth by producing goods and services and selling them. Sadly we create very few goods nowdays so we rely heavily on services that is why the government is keen to protect the banking industry.

You seem to be incable of understandimng that business creates wealth and that pays the bills so you have to encourage as much of it as possible. We cannot live off outreach cordinators. How else can you judge it? We had a general election two years ago. So you were expecting a quick fix? So you clearly feel that we can continue to spend more money than we have. I suggest you go to Spain where somebody told me the other day that middle class families gather at the end of the day to pick up the scaps left in the village square after market day. These is a modern day tragedy created by economicly incompetent, mainlyn left leaning politicians.

Yes sorry the SAS. Admitting you are wrong is easy Buctootim.

He was in the SBS

I would suggest that there are around 32% hard core Tory voters based on the last few elections; thats around 2% more than Labour- thats if you assume that by core you mean the level by which the % will not drop any lower in a defetaed election. If you just take England then the Tory core rises significantly. Labour relies on Welsh and Scottish votes to win elections. If you did your background reading you would discover that on the same %age vote in 2010 Labour won a sizeable majority in 2005. Hopefully boundary changes will make this process more democratic. Whilst pandering to your prejudices and stereotypes you also miss the core theme of the current Tory party and that is to sort out the UK finances. Not by spending more but by spending what as a nation we can afford and by creating a business environment that lures in investment from all over the world and by encouraging enterprise to build new markets abroad. Sadly our European neighbours are not guided by such principles and the Eurozone is a mess, making it difficult to grow our economy at the moment. Who will win the next election? Its a difficult one because many will not forgive the Lib Dems yet Miliband is pretty much unelectable. He may however simply be elected by default helped by Lib Dem votes. Cameron is a good communicator but he may be drowned out by the tedious Tory right and be unable to get the meassage through that we have to sort our finaces out.

Tokyo it is well known that in global downturns and times of global uncertainty people put their money into gold.

From what I know, the original contracts were quite hard to get and this is probably more to blame. As it happens, apparently this year if anything is needed now then you can name your price.

I would contest that I am being silly here. I don't think it is that companies have something to hide it is more the fact that smaller producers and suppliers do not have the resources to meet all of these new requirements. Why should a small cheesemaker in Devon have to spend money packaging his cheddar with a sticker that tells people not to eat it? I am sorry but more labelling inevitably means more packaging. I cannot see why 6 tomatoes or three leeks or five slices of ham etc etc are packaged in plastic containers. It is lunacy and justy creates more waste. I do not think people are stupid. Lazy yes.

I think as a nation we tend to forget how much support Moseley had particularly in the higher echelons of society.
