It's certainly educational. I thought Bore'em Wood was a porn actor.

Another good free kick delivery from Shippers... nobody could get on the end

You may be right... they are committing so many forward that their defending is awful.

Clever goal - great pass and chip.

terrible defending from Haynes ;)

Duck in passing to teammate shocker!

We look like we will win this comfortably. Why are we playing in white?

Just like Astute, I can afford to semi-retire at 54. All my career I saved 20% plus into private pensions. Never bought a new car; often skip holidays and run other businesses to supplement my savings. Never wasted money on gadgets. I've never dodged a single tax. What did I do wrong...

What tax concession? You mean the tax concession that everyone has to save for a pension that is capped at £40k? Nobody is told they have to slave away to 68 or 70; they have the option to save themselves. They just cannot pick up a state pension until later - exactly like the people retiring...

And if we need some low skilled workers we can let some in. We don't need people washing cars manually in a supermarket car park next to a machine. The reason cited for low growth projections was productivity after all. One of the major reasons for low UK productivity is the massive...

I don't understand the point here. They are not receiving a state pension at 55. If they saved up enough to retire at 55 why shouldn't they?

Here's another impact of free-movement; one that's been mentioned by politicians but anecdotal from my line of work. I work with a lot of Indian programmers. It's much more efficient having some of them on-shore: I can pop round to their desks when I need to, to train them up and help when...

Sorry, one more thought: and of course increasing the retirement age - something we are doing. Imagine trying to do that in say France, where the unions have so much power.

I agree that presently we have a pensions crisis due to: 1) Longevity 2) The baby boom. This is also of course a root cause of NHS budget increase requirements. It's a temporary issue (regarding baby boomers) but not temporary re longevity. Adding millions of low paid workers from Europe...

And we'll be able to reduce net immigration - especially for low-skilled workers, thus: 1) Reducing the pressure on housing and services - but especially housing. We'll be able to catch up with house building requirements and increase supply so that prices actually reduce to affordable levels...

Nah, he likes hip hop.

I think an educated man, who thinks things through for himself, who is numerate and literate and likes the Comsat Angels. ... and I can prove it.

Never heard of this guy before. He's picking an easy target: Islam, like Christianity, has some horrific passages in their respective holy books (even Paul, in his post-ascention epistles writes some awful tosh). If people were to follow them all they'd pretty quickly end up not only being a...

It's a bubble - I wouldn't touch it with your barge pole. There is a saying in the City that when your taxi driver tells you about an investment it's time to sell. Sell whilst you can is my advice.

I got it wrong. It's inflation and unemployment that caused the rethink on Keynes (stagflation): "By the end of the 1960s... the rate of inflation began to rise sharply, and to register a value well above what had been predicted on the basis of the Phillips Curve. At first the authorities...
