Again (I think for the third time Robert) I have to ask if you believe that companies that demand we allow immigrants in so they can have cheaper labour and improve their profit margins, should be held responsible for the entire cost of those immigrants if they then lay them off. It seems only fair that those who want to benefit from mass migration should also should the associated costs.
Richard, I'm sorry I missed that. I'll off for a curry on brick lane now. Will address when I return later
Bugger - so much for the Spurs Youth team too.... don't tell me TSE has the Fulham kids to put 5 past us tonight?
Tottenham Hotspur@SpursOfficial2m Williams curls wide for Fulham, then in next passage of play they capitalize on defensive mistake, Roberts smashes home. 1-1, 23mins.

James Chapman (Mail) @jameschappers 8 mins 'Who makes you the arbiter of what the average voter thinks?' Dom Raab giving some to @jonsnowC4
Raab was excellent. Snow was really annoyed at not being allowed to pump out his propaganda unchallenged.
Norman smith(bbc) tried the same earlier,raab wouldn't have it.
Sounds like both the interviewers got good stuff out of Raab, so did their jobs very well.
Not really. All they got out of him was him pointing out every time they made a factual misrepresentation. If they had been doing their job they would have been seeking to actually find out his opinion rather than just try and score points - and then get whupped for it. Pointless interviews.

You do realise that your view is completely incompatible with a welfare state?

Nicholls indicates Tidal Bay is heading to Aintree, also importantly Long Run could well be there.
If Long Run runs - And I actually hope he doesn't (Though it looks likely) - Tidal Bay will NOT carry top weight as he is rated 5 lbs lower. Tidal Bay came close at the Welsh national carrying top weight, and he was closing at the line which indicates the old boy has bags of stamina still.
Backing him at 25-1 Each Way, that price won't be available on the day I can tell you now.

Heh I've backed Annie Power NRNB for both hurdles too at Cheltenham which PtP reckons is a decent bet ! :E
Well today could have been really confusing in the HoC but thankfully R5 had Rees Mogg to explain it all. I sometimes wonder if there is a question to which he is the answer. At least one suitable for a family website like this.
He explained that the Conservative party had voted to deal harshly with criminals but Labour and the Lib Dems are soft on crime. It was put to him that he had simply shown that the tories were split and ungovernable. Not at all. Cameron agrees with him but he is bound by the rules of collective responsibility you know, as PM of this country which meant that he could not have members of his govermment voting in 2 different ways. The fact that the Lib Dems, as members of that government had in fact voted against seemed to have escaped him.
Fortunately this is all incredibly silly Westminster nonsense to which the man in the street will give every bit of the attention it deserves.
As someone marginally more interested than most I just wonder what goes on in their tiny little heads and whether the world they inhabit is any more interesting than this one. It is certainly stranger.

"Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has stepped down as an Oxfam ambassador after criticism of her support for Israeli company SodaStream.
The charity said the actress's role was incompatible with being an Oxfam global ambassador."
Oxfam a "fake charity". The things you learn from PBTories eh.
We are deep into PB Hodges territory when they are claiming Oxfam are a fake charity.
Accoding to Oxfams annual report only 35% of their income is freely given donations from the general public whilst 43% comes from various govt agencies doling out taxpayers money like a drunken sailor.
So yes, Oxfam is a fake charity.
I have never seen a drunken sailor dole out taxpayers' cash. It must be quite a sight.
If it's a fake charity, presumably it can be shut down and all it will take is for someone to begin the process.
We could write a draft complaint to the Charity Commission and invite pbc-ers to sign up. Under their real names.

It's a left-liberal LibLabCon establishment media conspiracy.
Nah. Its just Snow being a tosser. He does it with anyone he doesn't like no matter what their political party. He is just a bad journalist who lets his own personal vies overwhelm his presentation. He has done it before with Labour MPs as well.
He looked really p*ssed tonight at his co presenter when he tried to stick to his presentation and Snow went off at a tangent.

In fact he hada a bad night all round tonight as the woman from the flood campaign group also pulled him up for claiming she had been furious in a previous interview.

Well, good luck in getting that policy through.
I strongly believe in ending the welfare state too. It'll need more than you wishing me/us "luck" to achieve it though. No politician is brave enough to challenge the ponzi scheme.

Priti Patel is the CCHQ ‘attack dog’ backbencher with the nicest smile. Now helping the PM on India and on justice policy, can the globe-trotting Essex MP go the extra mile?

Priti Patel came on QT once and backed the death penalty as a "deterrent". When confronted with the fact that there could be miscarriages of justice, she still insisted on the deterence.
Who cares if a few poor innocent buggers get hanged ? It is the principle that matters. The right tto kill !

Yes you can: If the "system" chooses to ignore the voice of the populus that is their elitist stupidity. How else would you be notified otherwise...?

Tell him PB.Com thinks he could be a potential future Tory leader as long as he can keep his mullet going.

Is Michael Gambon looking for a new role? And which one...?
