Ed Miliband tells Labour: Britain can do better

In his speech he is expected to tell Labour activists: "David Cameron talks about Britain being in a global race. But what he doesn't tell you is that he thinks the only way Britain can win is for you to lose."

It's the wrong government Gromit, and they've gone wrong!

I can't take Ed Milliband seriously, every time he pops up on the news all i hear is "We've forgotten the crackers Gromit!"

And as for this photo:

Please never ever smile again!

I've decided i'm going to vote for whichever candidate has the highest score in scrabble.
If i had a Monster Raving Loony candidate they should do quite well by this.
Imagine...

Labour, John Smith
Tory, Jane Brown
L**-D**, James White

I told Sirius that he would get rumbled and lose his deposit, but he wouldn't listen.

Not a problem as Camelot paid me £181,055....been too busy getting legless!

Not another win again!! I'd be happy to get legless just being able to win £10.

I think this should go further. Who were the Chief buyers of these retail chains that decided that these items were in good taste. Should they remain in post? Who were the wholesalers that decided that these items were fit to be traded. Should they be investigated by Trading Standards? Finally who are (most likely) the Asian manufacturers of such tat. Should their imports be banned in the UK?

Halloween bad taste

Don't know.
Yes.
Don't know.
No.
China, probably.
No.

The answer to your question is Hollywood movies and having to be just different enough to not get a copyright lawsuit.

Thick people will make fun of all sorts of defects, disabilities, mental illness, ginger hair (that one i know very well), wonky teeth (ditto), race, colour, religion, etc.

Clever people let such insults pass beneath them.
Wet hand-wringing Guardian readers fret about 'what it will do to the children?' and try to censor the world.
Daily Mail readers enjoy having something to get jolly cross about over breakfast.
Sun readers join in.

They'll have to learn about life's cruelties sooner or later, nearly all hardships at school have a parallel in adulthood, just the names change.
Bullies turn into bosses, except now they have power to fire you if you hit back.
And rather than nicking your lunch money, HMRC help themselves to the contents of your wallet whenever you try to do anything.

Adults can deal with it in certain ways, it's when uneducated kids take the mickey out of other kids which is wrong.Which is what I was talking about here.

You are talking about uniformity of humans. Any comment about anyone being different would be verboten. So a kid without hands gets handed the same gloves as a kid with hands, just so he doesn't feel different.

So an adult like the Navy Yard shooter is given the same access as anyone else because there can be no mention of mental illness.

Our brains are hardwired to classify. Deal with it.

Now teaching not to bully or not to make fun of others, that could be useful, and politicians should be required to be continuously enrolled in these classes.

Not quite. Got to wait for the cheque to clear. No world cruise just some new personal wheels....

New wheels

Also, the last few posts would have been more suitable for the "Parents & Education" thread.

@Nick, sorry about that, it's the luck of the Irish I'm afraid. Don't forget, you got to be in it to win it..... :)

---

Sigh. No peace for the wicked.

Simple, be good like us and gain peace.....peace be with you.

I was again last night but your luck did not rub off on me, but there again you
produce your own luck in this world, no one else can do it for you.

Hmm, now that Sirius has retired on a world cruise, and his sidekick Nick has lost his mentor, it looks like I now have to deal with you two reprobates.

Instead of taking potshots at those you disagree with, how about you facing your glorious leader and demanding that this sorry saga comes to an end and that any that require it are arrested, charged and convicted.....

The sorry saga of G4S

...any chance of you doing that Taffy?

Edit: And then asking Cleggy to have the bosees explain this.....

"G4S did not co-operate with an audit and was referred to the SFO."

---

BTW, can you also ask him about this......

A4E Scandal

...and any chance he could get this muppet to return the money?

"Its chairman, Emma Harrison, who paid herself an £8.6million dividend in 2011 despite A4e's dreadful record, was forced to quit last year."

---

been too busy getting legless!

A self evident truism.

Failing to answer the questions again I see, typical political get out of jail card. You don't drink then I take it? (As he says that with sarcasm already knowing the answer)

HMRC help themselves to the contents of your wallet whenever you try to do anything.

Ok, so you have a beef with taxes, what has that got to do with the subject at hand?

Look again in context:

"And rather than nicking your lunch money, HMRC help themselves to the contents of your wallet whenever you try to do anything."

It was a comparison.

Basically boils down to; life isn't fair, and the earlier kids learn that the easier they'll find coping with it.

Of course I enjoy my beer, I always have done and always will do, but I know it is not conducive to sensible posting late at night.

Thank god there are sensible people working the night shift so that little darlings can sleep safe in their beds at night

Now that any financial problems that you may have had should be behind you, I trust that your general demeanour on the boards will improve accordingly.

My finances looked great without camelot's assistance. We lorry drivers do our best to assist larks get their beauty sleep at night.....

Houses of Parliament 7:30pm every evening

.....we musn't get those deliveries late now must we.

Edit: Oh and as for drinking? I probably have about a bottle of sherry a year and half a dozen lagers. Most of that with family during periods like Christmas. I aslo ensure that any time I do drink I'm not behind the wheel for at least 48 hours....

Drink damage

Seen too many of these with the second culprit being mobile phones.

"We know with the decrease in road policing there are fewer breathalyser tests being given so there is a greater chance of them getting away with it."

Hmmn, why is that do you think? Too much going in high paying salaries for overblown fatties in the public sector by any chance?

9 Green bottles siting on the street......

What a load of rubbish! "Saved £500,000" So the residents can expect a Council Tax reduction? Dream on Sirius, Dream on!

How long before we get that "fearful" 10th bin? The one where we put our dead in to be desposed of at the local incinerator as developers want to get their hands on all available land?

Oh dear the BBC must have spies here.....

Burial space gone in 20 years

...so they'll start looking into alternatives then....

...that 10th bin looks promising :)
