Lol, of course they didn't try thats why they have been talking for 2 days Lollage

If the banks waste money it comes out of the shreholders profit. Iam talking tax payers money (I know about LLoyds etc) and making schools and the public sector leaner so job cuts can be minimal. There is no way you don't see waste at your school. If you can't see it then im afraid you have been institutionalised and are also part of bad practice. Be honest and tell us some of the waste you come across?

Totally deluded then

The inheritance tax was only going to be upped later in the term, so there is plenty of time. In your lifetime a large majority houses will fall into the category that this will help, not everyone who lives in £1m houses are wealthy I dont think it is selling their souls by not pushing for the married allowance especially if they replace it with the tax threshold up to 10k, that helps all working people and makes it more paletable to find work instead of claiming. Better than crucifying their own with the 10p tax rate Lol

Fair point, but it depends how the question is asked, there might not be a no, but a list of choices.

A bit dramatic Thorpie. Policemen dont come out and sort out problems now.There is no way that Cancer departments will be cut. Anyone here who works in the NHS will be able to recount many stories of complete and stupid waste. That is what needs to be looked at. Silly things can make a difference. Schools can also make savings.When i was at school (early 70's) we had the power crisis. It was drilled into us to switch off lights when we left the classroom, to write to the bottom of the page and on both sides during the paper crisis. That may seem small savings to budgets but if teachers felt that these small inconvieniences to make savings meant they would still have a job it would focus their minds.The public sector have been lazy in looking at these things as in times of glut they forgot the little things. These little things can be done at all government levels, drive past government buildings and see all the lights burning away with nobody in the building. It is of course not the full answer but start at a level all the workers can help with and that will go a long way. Public sector pensions is another area that is not fair to the wider public, and it is not right that I and others will have to work longer to help pay for those unrealistic payments

Mike, he is cutting waste not just staff. Im sure you see in your work lots of places where money can be saved, without losing lots of staff. If your department can become more efficient, use less materials and wastage you will be ok. In business you have to look at costs and there is so many bad practices that waste you and I as tax payers money.

He thinks he has been reinstated at FP

He has done what is right for his party, as they will get a different voting system. Longterm that is good for his party.

So do I. From Camerons speech , he his going to look after the needy frail and old, but the shirkers and leeches will be sorted. I truly hope that the coalition is strong, and a little of the worthy part of the left can join the worthy part of the rights beliefs, and we as a nation can move on stronger.

Cecil Parkinson didnt have any protection

Hypocritcal as usual

Not at all, you could argue that 100% or 0%.

I dont think that is correct. 30% didnt vote, and so you can't put them in your figures.

yep a load of ultra left wing out of work lay abouts. They would hate Brown as he would be seen as right wing in their eyes

You must move in some odd circles then. A man who took us to an illegitimate war. Lol

That is a bit harsh. He like Blair have a false reputation of providing the golden years. He after all saved the world. lol Go to America and they adore Blair when the majority here dislike him.

Pompey fans are part of the commitee. My brother was a creditor when Bournemouth went into admin and got nothign back as the majority were Cherrie fans and so wouldnt do anything that would hurt the club.

He is gone, and I wish him well where he can do some good.

In denial Lol

If we hadn't had Thatcher we would never have had the golden years ,that her tough decisions laid the foundations for. She took the nation on when we were in disarray. Years of the unions having too much power took its toll. The unions are important to stop employers taking people for granted etc,but they cannot use that strength try and bring governments down and destroy the jobs they were supposed to be protecting. The BA dispute has shown old practices that go back to the 1930's have no place in the cut throat modern world.

has anyone got Avrams league record this season?

I might put you on the wing in one of my fantastic tactical changes. We have to keep them guessing,

time will tell how funny it is
