PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY IN A SUIT

Just listening to Postman Pat 'explaining' why the ConDems have it all wrong, to Martha K. Given the opposite brief, he would be just as (ostensibly) persuasive. What a hollow charade is party politics!

SPOILPARTYGAMES

I wonder if that should read "David Grossman will be speculating".

I once knew a salmon who was christened Simon
I'm assuming he's doing quite well
Since nothing to the contrary I've heard.I might, in fact, give him a buzz
As he also enjoyed listening to jazz.
He used to drink coffee from a jazzy mug
Which he bought in Canada when doing his prac,
Prac standing for practice. He was not born in April.

Who says that the Tories are against socialism?

BRITAIN'S FOREIGN AID BILL SCANDAL


'The UK will become the first country to hit a United Nations target of donating 0.7 per cent of its national income to the world鈥檚 poor by 2013. As part of his spending review Mr Osborne said last week: 鈥淏ritons can hold their heads up high and say, even in these difficult times, we will honour the promises made to some of the poorest people on our planet.鈥�'

Fingers crossed, fish will have a better fate than the stag killed, apparently for his horns, yesterday and hope that the killers and the 'commanders of the crime if there were any, get caught and dealt with appropriately.

PUNCH ABOVE OUR WEIGHT - LARGESSE BEYOND OUR MEANS (#4link)

We are high scorers at the GLOBOPOLY table. Armed forces - Nukes - Aid - Corrupt Governance. A class act.

Growth in the UK is better than expected...

So is this reason to be cheerful?

For now, I'll take what I can get.

Seems a confident consumer is better (for the country) than not.

Don't let that stop you, though.

wow...we have growth...shurely some mistake....

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Talking of fish, Jeremy's (and Prince Charles amongst others) favourite fishing spot at the River Test (Hampshire) has got polluted :o(

surprise, surprise

hello mr table
are you feeling high?
Are you feeling low?
and how would you describe your today's glow, flow, blow and amorous arrow?
are you sure you do not regret nothing and feeling quite smashing

The 大象传媒 are gutted about the high growth figures.

LOL

"And is the private sector well positioned to pick up the impact of public sector cuts?

David Grossman is investigating."

As MaggieL accurately says in post 2- "speculating"

As 80% of the working population is employed in the Private Sector, the Private Sector was responsible for the Credit Crunch, Predatory Lending, and most of all, massive leverage (borrowing). Since about half the Public Sector works for Education and Health, what we're about to see is more cuts in areas of regulation (local government) which through past cuts and intentionally bad staffing let the Private Sector off the leash in the first place - doh!!.

FBU

interesting selection of political links?



FBU general secretary speaks to The Socialist


even union officials lost control of the fbu 'mob'?

...Some of the pickets were on their way to leave after this, albeit slowly and reluctantly until the police started letting a wave of scab fire engines through. Dozens of firefighters turned back to give chase once again, scattering in both directions down the road.

Stop it! one official repeated sternly through a megaphone. It is time to disperse.鈥�

Disperse? Fk dispersing! screamed one picket in reply.

Some 15 minutes later, despite officials on megaphones demanding they 鈥渓eave peacefully鈥� and call it a day, a group of pickets still had a scab fire engine penned in further down the road.

And half an hour after being being told to disperse, many were still chanting 鈥渟cab, scab, scab鈥� and launching themselves at fire engines.

By this point union officials, including Wrack himself, were trying to physically pull firefighters away from the scab fire engines to little avail....



those firemen are just a mad mob of hooligans?

..The plans for demonstrations on 20 and 23 October are the beginning. A national demonstration is the minimum necessary. We must follow the French workers. We must imitate the immortal Greek workers and, if necessary, their series of general strikes. Not a library, not a government office or a council service must be closed. Any threat to do this must be met with action, including strike action - legal or not - and, if necessary, occupation of workplaces, drawing in the users of services as well as the workers...



...including strike action - legal or not..

not really into rule of law are they? One might wonder what would happen to muslim who wrote such words?

as for these reds like the roman i see much foaming at the mouth..

one marvels at the left delusions over 'a uk general strike'

..As a result of the working class鈥檚 experience of struggle, we will increasingly see, not only the "defensive" general strikes of today as the working class tries to hold back the offensive against them, but also general strikes where the working class sees the potential to take the power and begin to build a new democratic socialist society. ..

'taking power'?

better bring the troops home

SUPER-FAST BROADBAND ROLLED OUT GOING FORWARD

I suppose it is called 'super-fast' because it will be even quicker to claim utterly fictitious speeds that just cannot be delivered - but can be charged for, this being the Land of Scam?

"......suggested unemployed people had become too "static"....."

Interesting this.

We brits have become very territorial, wanting our own bricks and mortar/piece of land, noose (mortgage) mortgage and new white goods and furnishings to call home.

A less tied workforce - one that could respond to need for work, as did happen with farm and industrial workers (didn't Paxo's family move half way across country for this very reason - WDYTYA)- might be a positive move. Not that I can see a burgeoning market place anywhere currently.

Then we would still have the issue of the other partner in a family most probably having a job - then a real dilemma arises.

Should we be more mobile?

#19. more mobile me?

It's a shame you can't see me as I think I'm mobile but I can always make yet more effort

BUNG IN FREE LOVE AND IT'S SORTED LC (#19)

Better still, a bit of Ninja Turtle genetic engineering, and we won't need a house! Indigene birth rate could go up too.(:o)

I should be advising government.

Interesting debate by Jeremy with Deas - the most sensible voice on fishing. Very lively discussion by the Finnish & Venezuelan ambassadors on the percieved coruptness of their nations :o)

I tend to switch off when Susan Watts is on but because her report was about Salmon, - I've caught some in me time -I thought I'd give her report some attention. It was all going swimmingly (that's the best pun your gonna hear all week) but she spoilt it with a global warming analogy...she just couldn't help herself could she. Anyhow, I got up off the couch and made a brew at that point (green tea), totally gave up on this report after that. She really does have that effect on me. I just think Al Gore and mental scientists with vested interests and well meaning but gullible 大象传媒 reporters...when ever I see Susan Watts.

Re: one of Paxo's remarks

Sometimes money talks, sometimes money whispers
For some in their dreams it shouts and it glistens
I'm not though into scuh forms of seductiveness
And it's not how I perceive prolonging happiness.

It's not that I'm against becoming well rich
But those who have whispered I think are in stich.

#24

You talk of bling and I talk of stew
In which turtles will forever brew
Unless, of course, it evaporates quite soon,
And then what will you do?

What will you do, oh what will you do
The 'winnie pooh' and you??

#20 correction

I meant to say that 'I think I'm mobile enough, etc.'

As for more effort, well I shouldn't have any trouble with that. New ways seem to spring up almost by the hour although if necessary I'm quite positive they can become more 'rapide'.

I hereby GUARANTEE that the 'essential' truth is going to be out. It already is thought not quite black on white in print or in the media. I may be improvising quite a bit but absolutely everything I do is virtually with 100% consciousness and CONCIENCE. It's neither all right nor OK, it is. I would like it to be seen as FINE and SOPHISICATED, but I shall leave it for the posterity to decide. It could, of course, be seen as rather childish with me chewing on Sainsbury's Eric pink elephants to refresh my breath after smoking, as well as to give myself a physical and mental boost but even that has a deeper meaning to it.

If not all the 'grown ups' appreciate what I'm about then at least most kids seem to these days.

NEVER MIND CANADIAN SALMON, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT BRITAIN'S FLORA? (#31)

This year the blossom ACROSS SPECIES was PRODIGIOUS. The fertilisation rate UNPRECEDENTED, and the yield of every nut, berry and fruit BEYOND MY EXPERIENCE in a lifetime. (Well - in the South.)

Is Canada all out of indigenous Susans, to peer at fish? In the midst of a honey-bee crash, we have a boom year. Shouldn't Newsnight's scientific enquirer stay (cheaply) at home, and peer at berries?

We know (now) that climate is electrically mediated. Electrostatic forces are acknowledged as involved in pollination. I suggest more is going on ELECTRICALLY than dreamed of in our philosophy - both for flora and fauna.

Another not as good as it looks announcement from the coalition...



Along with parents on 拢80,000 getting child benefit but a single parent working on 拢45,000 won't.

Do governments ever look at the outcome of their proposals?

Which anecdote are you referring to? I noted the remark that China would have been asking what was going terribly wrong if they had a 0.8% GDP figure.

This not the X Factor where they make out it's all about confidence and star quality - in real life it's about productivity and the ability to produce goods which are useful. The rest is not sustainable.

Speaking of appearances, it was good to see on again last night. An atypical, sensible, capable woman.

Paxman should stop twiddling and fidgeting when she speaks, and show viewers that he's attending

IF WE REMEMBER POLITICS IS A GAME THAT APPEALS TO LAWYERS (#34)

I keep noticing how existing UK laws are written with holes and ambiguities built in. Now I read your post, and the point is made again.

Remember how the banks were caught (long before Black Globeday) making swathes of 'mistakes' BUT ALL IN THEIR FAVOUR?

I don't need to spell it out.

In passing, I am up the top end of enhanced State Pension (all contributed to). I wonder if I will end up 'trimmed' for the joy of being 'in this together'?

#36 I must declare a self interest here as already being an OAP, so I loose out on 拢40 a week, but does someone who's hardly worked still qualify for the 拢140 a week universal pension?

In passing, I am up the top end of enhanced State Pension (all contributed to). I wonder if I will end up 'trimmed' for the joy of being 'in this together'?

I think as an already OAP Barrie you'll still keep your enhancement! Hopefully! ; )

Yup Barrie my husband will also loose out, he has some enhanced pension, and will have to go down to the 拢140.

So a double whammy for us in the downward direction.

I notice from the article there are 12.5 million already pensions who will also loose out on this proposal. I wonder who the grey vote will now vote for!

#33

How about 'sharing' an electric shock? Or better still, since I seem to have been begat with a magnificent supply, I shall be quite happy to redirect some towards yourself and your co-operative.

National Strikes here?



I don't think so, we're too wet or too cowed, one or the other.

#:35

Jeremy seemed to be present all the way through last night's programme whereas I think you should stop giving instructions to him and to myself or you will be told to do so i'n the not too distant future.

#40

I don't think it's a question of being too wet but rather recognition that something needs to be done about the outrageous national debt that Brown's government has left the UK with, Ecolizzy.

From Tabb02 #35

"....
Speaking of appearances, it was good to see Angela Eagle on again last night. An atypical, sensible, capable woman."

She was calm, assured and polite. Pretty unusual/atypical of ALL politicians, regardless of gender (though I take your point). She also seemed well briefed. Not always the case. Which, if either of the combatants prove to be correct in the longer term we shall all have to wait and see. This government is taking a big gamble but at least it is taking action. Whether it turns out to be a Dodo or a Phoenix will be a matter for history - it won't be an Ostrich.

"....Paxman should stop twiddling and fidgeting when she speaks, and show viewers that he's attending"

I have no issue with interviewers 'actively' listening; its an imperative some other's could learn from. The only thing wrong was the director/camera operators who decided focusing on JP was more 'entertaining' than on the speaker.

43.
"This government is taking a big gamble.............."

The Opposition is also taking a big gamble - that the government's actions will fail.

No you shouldn't, you're an anarchist remember! You'd just make it worse. You have time to wise up though and put those silver keyboard skills to a better use. Seriously.

What strategists/planners in the past (e.g free-love 60s) never seemed to clearly grasp is that smartish people won't have many if any babies if they fear that doing so just puts them and their genes at risk. The birth rate in the USSR crashed at the end of socialism and the post war baby boom ended here as Britons began to allow their state to be sold off to asset strippers in the name of errmmmmm efficiency. What idiots.


FREEDOM: IT'S VENAL AND IT'S LEGAL

Sex Equality legislation: Liberal-democratic subterfuge to free up domestic disposable income in the interests of the retail and financial service sectors.

Immigration and race equality legislation: Ditto, this also saves having to travel to hawk wares overseas where there may be competition and or regulation. By bringing it onshore, where regulations are fewer, protection of the dull-witted can be punishable by law as 'discrimination.

uk economy

what the figures show is the uk has a massive black economy that is propping it up. Organised crime that ballooned under new labour is estimated at 40 billion a year ie half the bankers deficit.

corruption

so something that is seen as synthetic bunkum is used to generate more heat than light? Nice daily mail piece. who chose that dead end topic? the norman hereditary monarchy system of appointments is a form of corruption.

"The Norman conquest is viewed as the last successful conquest of England, although the Dutch victory in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 should be identified as the most recent successful invasion from the continent; an important distinction is that the Glorious Revolution can be seen as one segment of the English ruling class centred around Parliament collaborating with outside forces to oust a different segment of the ruling classes (that centred around the Stuart monarchy), whereas in the Norman conquest the entire English ruling class was utterly displaced."

Wikipedia

You keep focusing on . I suggest this is why you don't understand modern anti-statist (anti-Catholic) politics. Protestantism is anarchistic, see Archibishop of Canterbury. A Lib-Dem if ever there was one. Protestants don't like Catholics. Hint - who else doesn't like Catholics? See ruling economic elite.
