Of course they deny it but then Brown also denied cutting defence spending while we were at war, despite that demonstrably being a lie. Of course if you dare to raise this issue you are labelled a "bigot". What a bunch of arse. I think the more logical and obvious reason was to address the threat of an aging population by bringing in larger numbers of working age people from around the world. It's not like they had a real choice in the matter because most migrants were from the EU and as such can not be stopped from comming to work in the UK. The notion of becoming more multicutral was probably just an idealogical bonus to the whole thing.

And how much do you recon English chavs travelling to Benidorm/Ibiza etc take out of the economy The point is how much they make the economy, not the fraction they take abroad...

And if that had been David Cameron......................... Sky would never have been so quick to release this to the world :-) His "mistake" if you want to call it that seems to be getting caught saying what he felt. Good on you Mr Brown I say, now tell us what you really think of that snivelling little shit Osborne She is (was?) a Labour voter though, typically you would want to keep them onside if you were the Labour leader

Man City for me. It will happen next year if not this so why give Spurs a year of glory and spending power for no reason? I also have a perverted curiosity as to what they would do if they had unlimited funds AND champions league on offer.

how does it do that ? it is measured against the size of the house and just assumes if you have a big house you are wealthy , which isn't always the case .. Of course it is. If you have a big house, you have a big valuable asset and are therefore wealthy. Unless you're squatting in it Or renting :?

Aye, but that is the crux of it isn't it. Can you see any two of these 3 groups agreeing on which departments will feel the brunt of the record spending cuts required? I have a feeling they will be arguing for months over it. Typically coalition governments occur when you have proportional voting and all parties in those systems are used to and indeed expect to have to compromise policies to get things done. British politicians are not used to that at all, compromise would be tricky if times were good but will be extremely difficult when record cuts are required. I predict some interesting times ahead.

I don't expect a win but there is always the hope isn't there. We are capable of it.

That's quality. Those page 3 girls really are brilliant. Perhaps we should be electing them to form a government.

Stalin or Mao ...their governments were both secular and atheist ? They were not killing in the name of atheism, they were mass murderers who happened to also be athiests.

What do you mean "starting to"

This for me. I'm pretty sure you can't recall players on loan to clubs in the same division until the season ends. Otherwise you could loan out your players for important games against your rivals then recall them back again right after the match.

being beaten for skill, pace, tricky is normal at some point for any left back. However being caught numerous times out of position is well alot worse. Yes his positional sense at left back is poor but he can make up with it with pace. He is more effective playing on the wing where he can be covered better. Perhaps the reading and positioning will come with experience but I remember saying the exact same thing about Richards at City and I am still waiting for him to mature.

I think the goalposts would just be moved again, like when we found out the earth is not the centre of the universe.

well there if the flaw straight away ... a 100g of water will still freeze into a 100g of ice.. have these researchers confused the difference between volume and density ? Yes but I think the point they were making is that if you have millions of tonnes of ice in the form of a glacier sitting up on a hill and then melt it so it flows down to a different place that will cause some disturbance by the large shift in weight.

Someone has taken to mean " When he said no such thing. He didn't even make a "Nazi slur" of any sort. He said people indulging in anti German behaviour, against Germans in the UK, hounding them out of their jobs, making their lives a misery was wrong, and insidious, and it is. Low opinion of the eejits who did what he described in his article - too right. What do you think of the people he described? Maybe it's just "knockabout" political discussion from yourself, fine..... When National Newspapers go in for this sort of thing it's pathetic, dishonest and all the rest.....and leads to people taking up the cudgels, using the Mail's distorted views as their weapon. It seems to me that either you've fallen for it, or you haven't but are using their spite anyway. I hope I'm wrong on that. The more people like the Mail go for him, the more inclined I am to vote for the Yellow party, rather than spoil the ballot, or vote for some independent character. Well summed up. I am surprised at you Awol, falling for the spin. Clegg doesn't have a loathing for the electorate. He was just calling out racist idiots on being racist idiots. It is “more insidious” (not ‘worse’) because it is easy to laugh along at racist jokes without realising the damage they can cause. The Mail have dredged back 6 years to find something to spin about him as well, it is pretty pathetic.

I will be comming up for this one, my first derby match! Comming up on Saturday to make a weekend of it because of the early kick off. I will be stepping out in Brum saturday night

I had read MON had wanted Dunne as part of the Barry deal but city said they would not let him go until they got either Terry or Lescott. Milner MON tried to make his first signing when he joined the club, that one is well publicised.

That's funny, that is the exact system that exists in the UK. A number of my Australian friends had to go home because their working holiday visa ran out. They could not get a work sponsor because their job has to be advertised first and shown that no local person can do it. Others who have managed to pass the test and get the local sponsor are only valid whilst they are employed, if they are made redundant they have to go back to Oz/New Zealand etc...

It does seem to work in Australia but then Australia is a much larger country

Is there no other issue in 'politics' that is important to you? :? It is a major issue though. The Tory party and their blood thirsty hunt supporters want to change the law back to the barbaric one of allowing the Hooray's to smear blood on faces and the like. A major issue? Really? Above the economy? Above lack of affordable housing? Above tax avoidance by big business and the extremely wealthy? Above wars? Above income and wealth inequality? For a great many, yes Snowy. it's a hugely emotive issue, which is why it is very important to "a lot" of voters. I'd say it is almost a deal breaker for me voting Tory as well. I'd agree with most of their economic policies but will probably vote Lib Dem, solely on the basis of pushing through parliamentary reform...

Apparently they have the bank record showing the money going out to the appropreate staff members so it is not actually dodgy. Like you say, they just didn't have the proper fund account back then. It is amusing watching the media supporters of other parties all turning their guns on the new upstart threat on the scene.

I think it shows that 90% of football fans don't know jack about football

Dunne had won Man Cities player of the season 4 seasons in a row. Any centre back that can do that has got to have something about him.

Comfortable win away against a team battling to stay for survival. I only think Hull had one good chance in 90 mins at home, that is a professional performance to go away with a clean sheet and the 3 points.
