  1. Case being made that the worst economical crisis occurred under you lot, that did naff all to prevent it, in fact exacerbated it by selling off all the countries gold at rock bottom prices, wasting billions of tax payers money on white elephants, pointless civil servents and red tape, but no, it's the tories fault for pointing these things out...

  2. Labour and spin, who'd have thought it, they should be wanted Dead or Alive.
    Nick the only person who initially mentions spin here are the Tory party supporters of VT.

    Remove your blinkers and ask why Gideon has not criticised Goodwin here to the same levels as the other politicians of all other parties? Could it be that he is trying to deflect things? Condemnation of some of its party's biggest benefactors, i.e. the banking fraternity

    You were right on Spin, unfortunately it's "your boys" that are doing the deflection

    The Masters of Spin FC

    The only one with blinkers on is you my friend.

    And yes I know the age of the article, but it was the first one on google... there are millions more.

  3. I haven't seen anything anywhere, but are they going after Tony Blair to claw back his pension?

    I assume that the PM has relinquished his pension rights already?

    eh? Sorry TT that makes no sense

    So UK plc is doing okay is it?

    The whole government spin machine pushing Goodwin out as the only 'baddy' is sickening.

    As far as I am concerned he is a 'baddy' , but some of those pointing the finger are at least equally culpable, some far more.

    Brown has orchestrated the biggest financial mess that this country has ever seen, and for most of the time Blair was his boss.

    ^^^^ this.

  4. England told to shut up and stop complaining, the ref didn't rob ya.

    England backs coach Brian Smith has been reprimanded for his criticism of Jonathan Kaplan's refereeing in the Six Nations match against Wales.

    Smith accused him of not being even-handed with England, claiming he had been swayed by the Wales management.

    "Comments that appear to question the performance of Kaplan were unwarranted," said the International Rugby Board in a statement.

    "The official review of the match ranks Kaplan's performance as high."

    The statement added: "The IRB is satisfied that Kaplan followed the correct protocol for addressing both teams on and off the field and dealt with England and Wales in a fair and professional manner and refereed what was in front of him.

    "An official process exists for unions to give feedback to the IRB on refereeing performances.

    "IRB referee manager Paddy O'Brien and the Rugby Football Union elite rugby director Rob Andrew shared a very positive meeting on Monday, which makes the timing of the comments regrettable and unfortunate."

    Smith had not held back in his criticism of Kaplan, who he believed had come under pressure from Wales to find fault in England's play at the breakdown.

    "His whole demeanour through that match, the way he addressed our team in the changing room beforehand - he had clearly had heaps of pressure put on by Wales," said Smith, following the 23-15 defeat on 14 February.

    "The way our team was addressed prior to the Wales game took me a little bit by surprise. It was clear to me that Wales had done their job in terms of getting stuck into the referee.

    "Fair play to them for doing it. Teams are looking at every advantage they can get.

    "What we are really trying to say to the refs is: 'Please judge us the same way you judge other teams and do not come into the game with a preconceived idea'."

    England face Ireland at Croke Park on Saturday.

    Hmmm, perhaps the view on here that the ref robbed you was a bit, umm, incorrect?

    Well, frankly no, since when has a governing body ever slammed a ref. In in one word, never.
