Does this work for anything? Tesco, I bought an avocado last week and it was rotten inside. Can I have another one please?

He was a good player his entire career. One of those consistent better than average players who aren't quite good enough to make the very top - although he did play for Arsenal for many years.

I like 'Walk out to Winter' by Aztec Camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE3lTlPwykE

Was listening to Magazine 'Real Life' as I clicked on the link. As the video started so did 'Shot by Both Sides'. You can imagine my disappointment to find that all the shots were from the same side.

HMRC has an investigations team. It's a criminal offence.

You are right, as a measure of GDP. Debt as a percentage of GDP has of course fallen dramatically since 1945 for almost every government as the economy grew. However you must take the global economy into account. I didn't mention McDonald before because it wouldn't have been fair in the...

1) They are putting the onus on everyone. As well as reducing tax evasion they are addressing tax avoidance. Look at the Dividend tax: from 2016 you will be limited to £5k dividend income tax free then pay the remainder at your income tax rate -> this addresses people with their own companies...

I'm sorry. My excuse is that I'm totally fed up with people saying untrue things on social media. But I can see I was wrong and I apologise.

Maybe; I can't decide on these. I understand the rationale for both: HS2 is part of the "Northern Powerhouse" initiative I believe - intended to bring prosperity to the North? And then there's the defence arguments... I agree with you on Education and I disagree with the Tories' obsession...

It's not a choice. There is no option. If we don't reduce public spending then debt interest piles up and reduces the amount to spend even further. You may argue that Keynes said to spend during recession to promote growth and save during boom to avoid bubbles building up that will burst...

Having another flounce with unsupported rhetoric? 1) No, collecting evaded tax could not "sufficiently" reduce the deficit. The deficit currently stands at £88 billion and it's only come down from Brown's £153 billion because of the resurgence of growth and slow and careful reduction in public...

Clement Atlee did but then growth continued after Anthony Eden took over. So I'll give you that one. Nobody could claim that Wilson/Callaghan did, surely? They nearly brought the country to it's knees - although Heath did just as badly. And Brown/Balls certainly didn't. They inherited a...

I agree. There's many things I dislike about the Tories: Fox Hunting; Section 28 (Thatcher); their right wing loonies - but without a strong economy the whole country's fucked. The legacy from 2010 needs a shot of the adults running the economy for a time. This is why Labour needs David...

I won't 'like' your post because I don't like the content. But thanks for the insight.

I'm going to explain my point in advance as I'm out most of the day. Is Brown Culpable for the contagion? In my opinion, yes. The classical explanation for the cause of the recession is poor lending decisions in the US. Loans were made that couldn't be paid back and then securitised (the...

I guess there may be some. I'm just blaming Brown for the heavy contagion in UK banks and the perilous state he left the economy in so we couldn't ride the storm when it hit.

I may be wrong but I believe that Boris is loved by a majority of the population. He's no buffoon; he has an unusual sense of humour.

His PR issue is that most of the country doesn't trust him - and he's talked so much rot about the economy & Syria inter alia despite the good intentions that I can understand that disbelief. Even if he did get power IMO it isn't deliverable because the world is full of powerful weasels and...

I hate having a weak opposition - and I honestly believe that Corbyn is weak. Well-meaning I'm sure but completely misguided IMO. I see a shoe-in for Boris in 2020 as it stands - it may be a little tougher for the Tories if Osbourn gets the crown but I still think he'd beat a Left-lead Labour...
