Funny how an article that is positive is taken as the real deal. All is 100% true apparently. Again you intentionally twist what I said, I said we were lucky that Koeman was available, if he had been tied to a contract there is no way we would have approached him. It would be great to have known what else was on the list Malky Mackay apparently Did Lovren leave after Chambers, I can't recall?

Southampton was bombed during the war and we got the boring and soulless Above Bar, the Germans rebuilt their medieval cities to their former glory. I know how I would have liked our city to look like now

but they are takingaway profits from the people who do play the game. I suspect most of the jobs would be made up by those companies as they would expand

i think you will find the majority of taxpayers will find this deplorable. Why the politicians or tax authorities have not done anything about this is what should be questioned.

nonsense, people who pay tax pull their weight, period. Because some are more successful should they pay more is the question.

MPs in the main have a job for life with wonderful pensions. I read somewhere that there were only about 100 seats that were ever likely to change.Therefore it doesnt matter if they dont get things done, they only have to talk that they will

Very interesting graph. See how the top people gained under Blair and Brown? Blair and Brown have a lot to answer for when they took the power away (very shortly whe they came to power IIRC)from the BOE to regulate the City. Then we got the boom where the bankers took risks that we all are paying for. In an odd kind of way the Labour voters put us in this mess, not that they will accept that of course. I am happy to pay my fair share into the kitty but I resent the politics of envy and it is stated about 'the rich get richer' What constitutes rich???? A pound more than you can spend, having shoes, sky,washing machine,? Or is just a case of envy that somebody else has a nicer car or a bigger house? Fair minded people want working people to be rewarded, I am all for the tax threshold to be lifted for the low paid,

All of it. I don't think many are on here at the moment, hence the Lack of Posters thread

There is a difference of course, there is more chance of a Saints fan knowing where you are now

I suggest where you liken it to third world debt written off. It was not long ago that we had cleared our debt (IIRC)

you have the honour of the first to ever have me use a face palm,

No doubt Luke Shaws physical shape was reason

Ok, the moment we fail to pay back any of the loan the risk factor to the lendes rise and we can't as a nation borrow so easily or not at all. Even if we can the rates become untenable. That then gets passed on to our mortgages and living costs. A nation defaults on its debt at its peril.

VFTP any chance of editing your quote back as it alludes to the fact that I put up the original post about not paying back. I Don't need any help posting drivel let alone that stuff thanks

Yep backed by nothing, the Bank of Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ethiopa must do the same as its so easy. I agree that we should be on the Gold Standard, rumour was that China was trying to go that way. Hence why Gold and silver was so high (it has crashed recently)

QUOTE=hypochondriac;2060968]No it isn't. Once a debt reaches a certain size it is impossible to pay back. It's rather like the huge amounts of debt written off from the third world. We will never be able to pay back the amount we owe and besides, much of it is due to bankers and the city which is nothing at all to do with the man on the street. The majority of "debt" that I am being told to pay back is in reality absolutely nothing to do with me. Oh my god :mcinnes:

you have been remarkably quiet, I was at least expecting a few images of you with the cup

It was a ruthless execution,

yep youre the leader of the gang

. Oh no not another video to watch, is it by the crank who said 9/11 was a conspiracy? The point is that even if the debt is half that is publicised, it has to be paid back. All the whining about cuts could mean nothing if the IMF pull the plug. Unlikely now, but you will be too young to remember when the Labour Party had to go cap in hand to the IMF when it looked like the country was doomed and in massive debt in the 70s . Also please do not lecture me about making financial statements, I have managed my personal budget correctly, not the Pompey model for me in my personal life thanks very much.

So many have disappeared. There used to be so many new posts that it was hard to follow. Now you can come on and nothing has changed.

Brings back some fantastic memories. I think I still have a winners flag kicking around. I know I have lot of winners souvenirs, like limited edition plates mugs, programmes etc . with retro in fashion I wonder if silk scarves will make a comeback?

That reply is what is scary, that people look at that debt that is rising by the second and it brushed off as man made. That is your future and my childrens and grand childrens to have to pick up. The west do not have a divine right to a pampered life. That money has to be earnt to pay it off. Every year the third world are making more, improving their quality and want the food that is going to our families mouths. Sit back and be complacent at your peril. Pap may be right and the figures fiction, but I suspect they are not far from the truth, unless it is a Government/CIA/actors conspiracy of course

http://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/unitedkingdom if you want a scare watch that ticking away, then tell us that we should be spending more

BTF, one thing I really agree on is companies like E-Bay,Starbucks,Amazon etc making fortunes and not paying their tax here. The same for Sir Phillip Greens empire. They make their money here and so they should pay for the future welfare of their employees who are making the money by paying into the system. Sadly they can shift their business and the ones hurt by the tax system are the hardworking businesses and workers in the UK. To penalise the standard British business because of the Global companies is not right. Those are the people who make employment and help the taxes come in to pay for the welfare. As i said before, you have to be in a good financial state before you can start helping the weak and needy. iam sure there are a percentage of the envious who would be happy for all to be on their uppers, but anyone with a bit about them understands,rewards breeds hard work and then others can prosper from that.
