But he's won now. And almost unheard of, for the (main) governing party to gain seats. As for unlucky New Labour happening to be on watch, by 2008 that government was on a vast, over-borrowed money, spending spree, and add the huge off balance sheet debt of PFI/PPP deals signed-off by New...

:lol:

Ed stumbling off the BBC stage, when chummily waving to his "friends", the audience. The exit poll's shock predicted result. Cameron's speech (in Lincoln) - nothing special in its delivery, but bringing the issue to the fore of Scottish MP's being able to vote in the Commons on solely English...

He enjoyed the fame and power of being a Minister, then craftily resigned with a few months to go, to distance himself from any negatives from working in the Coalition. Nice try, but the move failed.

Not the dream panel line of: Will Self Katie Hopkins George Galloway David Starkey Peter Hitchens

Your Labour friends linked up with private finance providers from 1997 to 2010, in PFI and PPP deals, that have saddled NHS trusts with £80b of debt, that requires real cash flow out of hospital budgets. That's hard cash that could be paying for extra nurses, life-saving drugs, pay rises for...

Seems a pot luck thing. Your brother met some lazy or by-the-book coppers. Another time, it might have been Police who were prepared to see it through. Shouldn't be like that.

Black and white thinking that the Tories are evil, whilst Labour are credible and wonderful. The result - mental misery for the next five years for the bitter and twisted. Happy days.

I will say "never". Poyet did an amazing job during his Withdean period of 19 months. Brilliant possession and attacking football, sound player ins and outs. It all unravelled after that - he didn't rate the brilliant Murray worthy of modest Championship pay, paid fortunes in the fee and wages...

? Your calculations are rubbish. And yes, many players were on £10k+ per week, once we moved to the Amex. Which is common in the Championship. All part of the Poyet mess, the Board have been sorting out,

It was fantastic judgement. Unless he had inside info.

Agree with you. I often upgrade my son's to an adult card, doing the honest thing. One good point, the separate queue on the left of the ticket booths for this type of collection is always tiny, taking 5 minutes max. Unlike the poor buggers is the always long snaking queue to the right...

:facepalm: The Ipswich, Bournemouth and Burnley (2013/14 version) squads are/were all better balanced, with simply far more accomplished Championship level players, than this squad assembled by Burke. I bet McCarthy, Howe and Dyche have a far greater role in player recruitment than OG and SH.

If results and performances on the pitch were good, hardly anyone would complain about the 'customers' tag.

Predictably Large One didn't admit his clear error on NSC. Where a member stated "sadly a poor bike-riding student was killed", Large One read into it something else and most bizarrely ??? responded with "What a thoroughly unpleasant person you are". That says everything you need to know...
