Well he might as well get all he can as he's only got 18 months :) |

More than likely is. However, the Lib-dems will not retain any semblance of power in 2015, thanks to cleggie. Edit: Talking of cleggie, didn't he just get a severe rollicking from Sir Alan Sugar? Edit 2: Any chance of this officer dropping one on Ed's? :) Or maybe the criminal likes Jerry Lee Lewis songs |

"Simon will now be able to use his talents inside the coalition, helping the Liberal Democrats to anchor the government in the centre ground and helping us to build a stronger economy and a fairer society, enabling everyone to get on in life," he said. What a load of old gobbledygook...it pains me at times to have to read this type hype, and to know that "Some" people still believe in it too. What's this all about, Clegg trying to promote a new vision of sorts, "The UK dream" achieve it by voting centre ground LibDems. Come on Chris, time you dumped this and the others they haven't got the answers and for sure are not taking us anywhere near towards a prosperous future.

"The UK dream"...... .....is already here for the rich to get richer..... Cheap labour for the bosses "Briefing: Mr Cameron was told that the three-bedroom house had been converted into 10 bedrooms and up to 14 people in the house." ...and just why isn't the local councils doing anything? |

"The UK dream"...... Beginning to take on the bad habits of those second rate countries, a bit ominous I'd say. The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. |

So it's all very well to read the Mail and say absolutely outrageous, what is the Council doing about it. Would you rather they close a couple of schools, or collect your rubbish once a month, or shut another police station? This would have been an excellent post except for the above. We are aware that the media slant their reports to suit themselves, but the point is that the facts speak for themselves regardless of the slant. So... -1 Council Tax is meant to provide the services you mention above, however we are seeing this and if you have a problem with the source there is the Freedom of Information Act to confirm it, so use it if you feel the media is wrong. you often tell posters to write to their local councils/MP's etc, so for once, why don't you check the facts via FOI. 25% on retirement pensions rather than the services it's meant for |

Beginning to take on the bad habits of those second rate countries, a bit ominous My statement above was all to do with the way people are abusing others with illegal housing and nothing to do with what the council are doing to combat it. We are clearly getting the rouge type landlords going in to renting just like they do, but in greater quantities, in these second rate countries.

I do not place "store" in the media. Just because the Mail is a paper that runs down your party, you see red without taking note of the facts in the story. You attack the messenger instead. Disjointed? you're stating political B/S as usual. You yourself have stated that the system needs reforming. Of course local councils need funds to provide the various services, and your post forgets that you have also agreed on the outrageous salaries provided within these councils. How many times have you stated that "Government contracts" are your pet hate? So you can display your hatred but anyone else showing their dislike not for the system itself but the stupidity within it and you run them down. Bar stool preacher? Tell one and all.....after all the years you have worked why now to enter politics? You really are living in cloud cuckoo land if you think that you can invoke change. The system is too corrupt which makes me wonder as to why you are! |

Well you know that old saying regarding opinions, they're like *********, everyone has one. |

I agree Sirius, if Chris dearly would love to see change he'd need to step away from the three main parties to see any chance of it ever happening. There's no ideal wonder party out there but there are those who advocate fundamental change to how the UK is managed/run. The three main political parties are now very much dysfunctional in many ways and much of this has come about by rendering themselves subservient to Brussels. To think that currently we can't go Fracking in the UK unless we gain Brussels approval first. There's a rat in the Brussels kitchen regarding Fracking, well I smell one anyway, and it could be to do with controlling what price UK's Fracking energy can be discount priced when sold within the UK.

Maybe, but I think there are bigger rats in Westminster. If Maggie had not been ousted by those treacherous Europhiles within her own party, she would have gone on to win another election. Those four years would have made a big difference as to how we dealt with the EU today...... ...and maybe, just maybe it would still be Great Britain and not "grate britain". |

Well well, Statler and Waldorf are grouchy tonight aren't we! Yup, we certainly are!! Fed-up waiting for you to do the right thing and jump ship and leave that sinking LibDem ship for good. Their going to hit the rocks but no need for you to be in their boat when it does.

Well well, Statler and Waldorf are grouchy tonight aren't we! Naw, rats only leave ships when they're sinking. With 17 months to go before that happens, the Right Honourable Sir Taffy will only jump when he's got enough from the ship. |

Sorry boys, not biting, back to your conkers and dabs. Lights out 10pm. Ah, was waiting for that to appear....... Breakfast at 8 Posts around 9/9:15 Pops out for his morning paper Posts around 10/10:15 remotes into his crunching farm back on the boards around 11/11:30 Off for lunch with the wally woofer Repeat and rinse for the afternoon beddy-byes around 10/10:30pm You're so predictable! |

You're so predictable! We wont you to become progressive, get the youthful side of your character to work towards something better than what the three have to offer. Are those three ever going to be able to offer a "Better Britain", come on...we all know the answer to this...lets not none of us here fool ourselves to the true answer. Jump ship now or Sirius will call you nasty names, or worse, hit you over the knuckles with one of his conkers.....ouch!!!

.......Time for the Lib-Dems to STFU Her, like so many of her kind, fail to realise that these type actions show they have no respect for individual people culture. Send this greeting to a Muslim for instance and they could read this as, "Well you have no respect for your own cultural beliefs so you'll most probably have no respect for mine" What a strangely mixed up mind some people have today.

Yep, how can a holiday be happy as before you realise it, you have to return to work. Happy Xmas sounds and feels better. Saying that though, have you ever known a politician to do anything that makes the country happy? |

I assume she wont be sending one of these to any of her Muslim friends then come next July 29th? Thy'll just get a Happy Holliday card leaving the recipients scratching their heads. ![]() The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes. |

The sad face of modern politics....... Cover-up at Cleggie's old school "But many might think that the most shocking aspect of this case was the fact that Roland Peter Wright got away with it for so long when so many people were aware of the allegations about him." Former minister faces sentencing on Monday Probably get 18 months, be out in 9 and the taxpayer will pay for his cushy time inside! Political Correctness gone mad Ah for the day when the "PC" Brigade meet the BFG.......... |
