WTF?

Not really.

FFS, read the question. I asked you if you genuinely think that Blair is a socialist, nothing to do with my views on him and the Labour Party.

lol, do you actually believe that Blair is a socialist? hahaha

Indeed, and many thousands of Irish catholics too.

get in!

Did the Mayans accurately predict the end of their own civilisation?

This would be the same Gordon Taylor that is paid around £1.2m a year for representing only several thousand members (Unison boss paid around £100k for comparison). Another snout in the football trough.

Not another new stadium?

Impossible redknapp only gets clubs into these situations. he never sticks around.

Great work!

Can't you read properly????????????????.........He is saying that anyone who doesn't think Griffin is a bigoted liar is either a racist or a simpleton.................... get it????????????????????????????......do you think Griffin is a racist????????????????????

and they would be mongs. Do you think they got what they deserved? Do you think being gobby warrants being kicked in the head and stamped upon?

even in cage fighting (at least in UFC) you're not allowed to kick people in the head when they're on the ground. plenty of posts from eye witnesses have said the guy was out cold. give it a rest.

It seems some people think that stamping on another person's head is acceptable as long as the attacker is a Saints fan and the victim is a bit of a ****. I'll happily be labelled a do-gooder/happy clapper/self-righteous/pussy/wimp or whatever by the interent tough guys on here for finding that shameful.

what's the tune?

10%

Because top business people often gift people shares as a gesture - 'poor old fake doctor, please cheer up I'll give you 105 of my company" lol

Too true, if the common agricultural policy and US farming subsidies were designed more effectively there'd be no need for fair trade for lots of goods.

Just a point about taxation - The way indirect taxation works means than many poorer people pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes - because poor people have to use similar quantities of many taxed items as rich people but have to use up all or nearly all of their income. Consider a poor person who has to drive to work filling up their tank each week with £50 worth - effectively paying say £35 in tax or 70%. A wealthy person who earns 20 times the poor person also fills up with £50 worth a week (and pays tax of £35). Effectively the poor person is paying a much much higher rate of tax. (Obviously this is simplistic and richer people will pay income tax) With regard to the main thrust of the OP. Can someone actually say that they understand what the Tories policies are? All we hear from them are vague descriptions of what they'd like to do but very little substance. This works because Labour are in such a pickle but I've seen little from the Tories to suggest things will improve - in fact their promises to slash spending could easily make things worse. One of the main problems that Labour has is that while most commentators think they were right to spend big to avoid a worse recession (something the Tories were largely against) it is impossible to know how much worse it would've been and the average punter doesn't care.

where was he wrong? Al Fayed WAS well known before the Diana saga and his millions financed a rapid rise. so as he said - rescued by a rich benefactor.

Could be a very good signing at this level.

let's wait and see, they've already had one massive false dawn with Al Fahim plus countless new stadia / redevelopment plans that have gone tits up - or have wee forgotten the pictures of Mandaric digging the foundations for New Fratton, the Gunwharf toilet seat or the Tipner Rubbish Bowl?

Couple of questions: Would other relegation threatened teams allow the PL to keep Pompey afloat? Why would anyone now want to buy Pompey? Favourites for relegation, TV money already spent, crap stadium occupying the only real asset they own, and mounting liabilities.

I take it you weren't driving?
