So you're point is that in general the German economy is doing well under a right wing govt but they have larger poverty because food bank usage than here amongst other things. Surely this shows how a Conservative model would likely look to work in this country, but we'd be on our own. According...

Why would that be the only way they could administer it? They could choose to administer it other ways if they wanted to. They didn't want to because it wouldn't fit into their ideology of what a family should be. I agree those over 50k shouldn't be getting handouts but two parents earning a...

It's because we all know that the only way children should be brought up is by a daddy and mummy at home. They never look at the many different circumstances and things that could happen that stop that being the case and just say single parents are assumed to be irresponsible even though many of...

There was a time when we were setting every sole trader up as a ltd company because it was much more tax efficient, and also advising people to get 'employees' to set themselves up as companies and be paid like that. Those differences have largely been closed either via tax rates or legislation...

We've supposedly been trying to do that for years. But somehow those big businesses seem to convince the Treasury these don't apply to them. Usually just after they've taken ministers on very expensive lunches..... Remember the 'Google' tax? Which after a few months the Treasury decided Google...

One thing from Shipley's goal, and from some of Max's in the last few games, is the willingness to hit the shot early. They don't take that extra touch Hiwula and Baka do - they just instinctively hit it.

I don't think Labour should be defending it. She was 22 at the time so hardly a child and at university. IMO she should be deselected but they won't change the candidate now, especially in such a safe seat. But Alexander was 38 years old in 2002 and it's not like he hasn't expressed similar...

The issue isn't with those people. It is with those who HAVEN'T grafted their way to that lifestyle or EXPLOITED their way to that lifestyle. Which is most of the very very rich. It's more exasperation that people with a small business working every hour they can for a slightly better house or...

Although I agree to a point that stories like this are very, very unlikely to happen (but not impossible) I find it amazing that you of all people are having a go at the mantra of 'greed is good'.

I agree with you, but we've forgotten the reason why money was invented. It was a means to an end, not an end in itself. It made trade quicker and easier than the market/barter system. But it's now becoming corrupted to be something you hoard. People with more money they could spend in several...

Wasn't even able to listen today due to other commitments but from this thread I can surmise we won quite comfortably, although that may be because we had about 20 different players on the pitch going by Clive and Benno's commentary.

I hope you were standing up when you typed that or Gaz won't be happy...

No. Islamophobia is a word. The definition of which is an irrational fear or hatred towards the religion of Islam and its followers

We also had very close ties with the US at a time when they were openly allowing (or at the very least turning a blind eye) to fundraising for the IRA, esp in places with high Irish-American populations like Boston. That is under both Tories and Labour.

I think they also forget the massive council house sell off meaning that the market is now dominated by private rental and the extra cost going with that along with the inevitable house price inflation it brought, exacerbated all the time by failure to build more homes to fill demand. To be fair...

Does everyone work at JLR and get paid decent wages? And that's two - how many of that age working there didn't? What kind of wages were they on? Were they paying that mortgage purely by themselves or were the with a partner to share the cost with? Did they have an advantage of inheritance or...

POPPYCOCK!

I was the same with the West Ham Youth Cup team. Joe Cole clearly had some special ability but even after 20 mins I felt his midfield partner was going to have a hell of a career just doing things unspectacularly, running midfield and letting Joe do his fancy stuff. That lad was Michael Carrick...

But the amount of people needing a deposit and the amount of that deposit have gone up. So you need the capital there to begin with to even get the mortgage and be part of the stats. Hence why far fewer people in their 20's and 30's own their own homes nowadays and the people mainly benefiting...

By a few 'unfortunate' phrases I assume you meant a few 'racist' phrases. Plus he's unfit for office because: -he's a liar and as a journalist made stories up. -he was quite happy to give details of a reporter to his fraudster friend so he could beat him up. -he has got a British woman locked...
