Putting a racial slant on "pay peanuts, get monkeys" when the "monkeys" are white, risks undermining any serious attempt at improving racial harmony.. Why do PC lefties try to change the meaning of words?
I'm not sure why Pete Waterman is a 'surprise' member of the HS2 task force. He has not been backward in expressing his love of railways, and his engineering empire is based at Crewe, on the route, so he knows the area well.
He also has good stuff to say about apprenticeships.

Lord Howell: I meant frack the North West, not the North East
Lord Howell has revealed he meant to suggest gas fracking should take place in the North West, not "desolate areas" of the North East, describing his comments as "a stupid error".
My local high street (Parkway, Camden) has had about 10-15% of its shopfronts unoccupied since the beginning of the Great Recession.
Today, for the first time since I moved here, every single shopfront is either active, or being obviously revamped, or has a brand new LET sign in front of it.
The recession is obviously over in London, and has probably been over for some time.
Very interesting and certainly tallies with my own experience of the wealthier parts of Berkshire. I think Osborne will be pleased at the way the key political weapons are being handed out at present: he has a blossoming recovery after the greatest recession in living memory; Labour's got his father-in-law.
" Daniel Pelka, a “beautiful and bright-eyed little boy” was reduced to a “broken bag of bones” after months of abuse at the hands of Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek.
He was often so hungry that he would steal food from classmates and was spotted by teachers rooting around in bins for any scraps or leftovers.
Jurors wept during the trial as they heard how the pair, who came to Coventry from their native Poland in 2006, subjected Daniel to “unimaginable cruelty”.
At one point his mother held him under bath water until he passed out, sending a text message to Krezolek saying: "I am having some quiet time.

"... The applicant claimed that her human rights had been violated by the Canadian fast food restaurant A&W because the names of its burgers gave unwarranted respect to males and disrespected people who were female in general and lesbian in particular. Ms Ironbox alleged discrimination with respect to goods, services and facilities because of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status and marital status contrary to the state’s Human Rights Code.
The claim says “On May 31, 2013, I attended the Cornwall Square Mall and ordered a hamburger meal from the A&W in the foodcourt…I noticed that the hamburger meals were given names of various family members (eg, “Mama Burger”, “Teen Burger”…). The sizes of the hamburgers increased with maleness and seniority in the heteronormative family (ie, Papa Burger bigger than Mama or Teen burger…).”
The claim, which seeks $50,000 compensation for “loss of dignity and self-respect”, states that “the whole heteronormative, phallocentric marketing scheme of A&W is highly degrading to non-traditional families”. The applicant also sought a court order that A&W should be required “to develop and implement a modern burger family which is more inclusive…” It asserts that as “science has shown that up to five adults can take part in the procreation process” therefore “the notions of motherhood, and more importantly, fatherhood, should be completely abolished”. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/law/weirdcases/article3829447.ece
Silvio Berlusconi awaits final tax fraud appeal verdict
Italy's former president Silvio Berlusconi is due to learn if his final appeal against a conviction for tax fraud has been successful.
Mr Berlusconi was originally found guilty in October 2012 and received a jail sentence and a five year ban on holding public office. The verdict was upheld at a subsequent appeal.
The case is being watched closely across the country, amid fears that the result could destabilise the coalition government

I hope this is resolved soon - when sane people who want to die can't because of their disability, its wrong.
"The Director of Public Prosecutions may be forced to review his guidelines on when people can be helped to die after a landmark Court of Appeal ruling today. Three senior judges rejected right-to-die appeals by the family of late locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson and paralysed road accident victim Paul Lamb.
But in another case, brought by a locked-in syndrome sufferer known only as “Martin”, a majority of the judges ruled that the DPP guidelines on assisted suicide were in breach of human rights laws. Martin wanted guidance as to whether a doctor or health professional could help him to die without risk of prosecution.
At present the guidelines only apply to such help given by close family and friends and Martin’s wife does not wish to be involved in helping him end his life. Richard Stein, of Leigh Day, who represented Martin, said: “This is a hugely significant moment in allowing people control. “They will be able to seek help from people with no personal connection to them but acting in good faith - most likely to be carers or health professionals - to be able to die with dignity in a manner and at a time of their choosing.” http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/article3830273.ece

Dearie me, your desperation and bile is quite remarkable.
It's been debunked you amusingly excitable chap. TUD did it in the previous thread but you didn't seem to notice in your eccentric fury.
Wee Euan McCombover's 'scoop' was actually a photo put on Facebook back in December by LFI, where all the participants were named and identified as fellow Yes supporters (not Labourites) by, you guessed it, a Labour Party card carrying supporter of Scottish independence.
Now explain to everyone why it is that in an Ipsos Mori poll from Feb over a quarter of Scottish Labour voters have not decided to reject Scottish independence, and one in eight support it if you seriously believe that there are no labour supporters or activists who back independence?
Or perhaps you can back up your outlandish hyperbole about "simply the most dishonest party in the UK" with something other than a photo or two of SNP and labour activists campaigning for Yes.

OGH - No, if the Tories get to 42/43% even if Labour gets 36% the Tories can still get a majority. Today's comres had the Tories on 34% but almost 20% of 2010 Tories having defected to UKIP. If Cameron wins them all back the Tory total would be around 40%+ very close to a majority, if he gets a few centrist 2010 LDs he would also help matters, whether he really wants a narrow majority dependant on Bone etc rather than continue the Coalition is another matter!
The Tory candidate in today’s Ynys Môn by-election for the Welsh Assembly is the Rev Neil Fairlamb, who, 40 years ago, taught Nigel Farage at Dulwich College. “He was one of the great characters of the school,” the UKIP leader says. Fairlamb has a similar memory of the young Farage, who he says pronounced his surname as the rather un-European “Farridge” in those days. “He was cheeky and charming and you could never quite believe him,” Fairlamb recalls. “On his last day I told him he would go far, but I wasn’t sure if it would be in fame or infamy. He replied: ‘As long as I go far, sir.’ ”
I'm just shocked the BNP still has spokespeople! Bless them.
Pay peanuts get monkeys is a good old English saying? I'd assumed it was American, but I'm sure The BNP know best
No, it's a British idiom, tim!
Is this wrong?
Peanuts in the sense of ‘a small sum of money’ (esp. when considered as inadequate payment) originated as mid 20th-cent. US slang. Shareholders want the best available businessmen to lead the companies and recognise that you get what you pay for. If you pay in peanuts, you must expect to get monkeys. [1966 L. Coulthard in Director Aug. 228] ‘That's forty thousand we're giving away. Seems an awful lot.’ ‘If you pay peanuts,’ said Ashman, ‘you get monkeys.’ [1979 P. Alexander Show me Hero iii.] The companies' chief negotiator‥was greeted with shouts of ‘if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys’. [1979 Guardian 11 Sept. 30] ‘How much is‥this photo-enhancement going to cost my client?’ ‘A bundle. ‥But in my experience, if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.’ [1994 S. Reuben Origin and Cause xvii. 107] Related to: employers and employees; money
"Peanuts" = US slang for money, yes.

That would be a no then. No explanation. No justification. Pathetic.
Dearie me, your desperation and bile is quite remarkable.
It's been debunked you amusingly excitable chap. TUD did it in the previous thread but you didn't seem to notice in your eccentric fury.
Wee Euan McCombover's 'scoop' was actually a photo put on Facebook back in December by LFI, where all the participants were named and identified as fellow Yes supporters (not Labourites) by, you guessed it, a Labour Party card carrying supporter of Scottish independence.
Now explain to everyone why it is that in an Ipsos Mori poll from Feb over a quarter of Scottish Labour voters have not decided to reject Scottish independence, and one in eight support it if you seriously believe that there are no labour supporters or activists who back independence?
Or perhaps you can back up your outlandish hyperbole about "simply the most dishonest party in the UK" with something other than a photo or two of SNP and labour activists campaigning for Yes.
You don't think say.... lying about the Iraq War might be just a touch more dishonest? Or a massive expenses scandal that saw Cameron, Osborne along with many other leading tories humiliated?
Where to start?
This doesn't debunk anything. One Labour supporter was willing to lie. Well he was joining the right party. The other "Labour" photo has 3 elected SNP councillors.
I have never said that some Labour supporters will not vote for independence. Of course they will.
Yes Blair told lies over Iraq. More than a decade ago. So what?
The expenses scandal was an abuse of an inadequate system. With some, largely Labour, exceptions it did not involve dishonesty no matter how immoral it was.
Hopi Sen doesn't rate Labour's chances very highly.
Bastard!
I think that's entirely right, and mirrors my reading of things exactly.
The only way the Tories can win is if that proportion of 2010 LibDem voters all suddenly lose their inclination to vote anti-Tory. And I just can't see that happening with the current Tory strategy of Right Turn Only.
Who gives a F. Smithson thought Yes would win the AV referendum.
LOFL.
Haha did he? Bad call!
The overall political dynamic is easier to read than a referendum though, because of the richness of polling.
Labour's "core" vote is now mid 30s, and there are lots of anti-Tory tactical voters at the margins. How on earth do the Blues get a victory out of that, when their vote against Brown was 37% and likely to fall?
Labour's core vote is nothing like 35%. If you believe that you are as dim-witted as Mike "AV is going to win" Smithson.
Remember: LABOUR ARE THE ONLY MAJOR OPPOSITION PARTY in a time of Coalition. This means that, outside the Celtic fringes, anyone who is polled, who wishes to express disgust at the Coalition, HAS to say "Labour" - unless they are on the hard right and are willing to say UKIP.
What we are seeing is the solidity of disdain for the Coalition, not a core vote for Labour. Confuse these at your peril.
It is quite possible that, come the GE, we can knock 5% or more from whatever Labour are polling. Putting them back down around Brown's 30%.
It is quite possible that, come the GE, we can knock 5% or more from whatever Labour are polling. Putting them back down around Brown's 30%.
The 5% being left-leaning, anti-Tory 2010 Lib Dems, yes?
Interesting to see how the the Tories pull that one off, even with the predictable support of most of the print media.
I don't say the Tories can't win (most seats, a majority looks hugely unlikely). I just struggle to see where the votes are for them, given the political dynamics and electoral map.

All this talk about where the vote is coming from, everyone seems to forget the 35% of the whole electorate who didn't even bother to vote last time. Surely there is more than enough votes in that pool -- provided it can be tapped -- regardless of what 2010 LDs do.
Yes Blair told lies over Iraq. More than a decade ago. So what?
The expenses scandal was an abuse of an inadequate system. With some, largely Labour, exceptions it did not involve dishonesty no matter how immoral it was.
"So what" for the Iraq war and " it did not involve dishonesty" and it's the systems fault for the expenses scandal. You're quite sure that's what you want on record? Your choice. Your side-splittingly hilarious choice.
Even more staggering, you actually pretend to believe that a couple of photos from an event which had SNP and Labour activists campaigning together for Yes is what makes the SNP "simply the most dishonest party in the UK".
ROFL
I now realise you are a spoof poster. I admit it, despite your blatantly unhinged assertions I almost took you seriously. Well done sir. Carry on the spoofing.

5% being: people who, in the end: don't care, won't vote, are kind of Lib Dem actually, feel a bit UKIPpy on the day, have a cold, go shopping, think that Cameron has done alright surprisingly, are really menstruating heavily, like Labour but loathe Ed Miliband, etc.
Recall this is the midterm of a very unpopular Coalition at a time of savage decline in living standards... and according to ICM the two main parties are neck-and-neck.
The idea that Labour's 35% polling is a "core vote" is FATUOUS.
You think the incredibly stable >5% increase in Labour's support since 2010 is made of people who, in the end: don't care, won't vote, are kind of Lib Dem actually, feel a bit UKIPpy on the day, have a cold, go shopping, think that Cameron has done alright surprisingly, are really menstruating heavily, like Labour but loathe Ed Miliband?
Two points: How was Toronado 11/4 today, if you watch the race at Ascot (when I backed it), without the bump it would have won 2 lengths, shame that I was so busy at work today I forgot to back it to get my money back. Secondly the recession in the south is yesterdays news. It feels like we are back to 2006 in the construction industry. For the past three weeks I have been trying to employ agency electricians to help out with all the jobs we have on. There are none available in the whole of Hampshire. Agency's cant remember a time like it.
If the economy keeps recovering at the rate it is, then I think Labour (who up until 3 months ago I thought were certs for the next election) will be in trouble. They will have to come up with a reason for people voting for them rather than just being not tories. What will there line of attack be. Vote for us we wont muck it all up again honest.
I can see Labour lurching to the left and going for a nationalizing agenda, it could be a 1983/1992 type manifesto. Now I am sure that will be popular with their grassroots and their benefit heartlands, but will it win them an election?

" Daniel Pelka, a “beautiful and bright-eyed little boy” was reduced to a “broken bag of bones” after months of abuse at the hands of Magdelena Luczak and Mariusz Krezolek.
He was often so hungry that he would steal food from classmates and was spotted by teachers rooting around in bins for any scraps or leftovers.
Jurors wept during the trial as they heard how the pair, who came to Coventry from their native Poland in 2006, subjected Daniel to “unimaginable cruelty”.
At one point his mother held him under bath water until he passed out, sending a text message to Krezolek saying: "I am having some quiet time.
The boy's murder, which occurred weeks after teaching staff saw him with bruising to his neck and black eyes, is now subject of a serious case review by Coventry's Safeguarding Children Board.

"... The applicant claimed that her human rights had been violated by the Canadian fast food restaurant A&W because the names of its burgers gave unwarranted respect to males and disrespected people who were female in general and lesbian in particular. Ms Ironbox alleged discrimination with respect to goods, services and facilities because of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status and marital status contrary to the state’s Human Rights Code.
The claim says “On May 31, 2013, I attended the Cornwall Square Mall and ordered a hamburger meal from the A&W in the foodcourt…I noticed that the hamburger meals were given names of various family members (eg, “Mama Burger”, “Teen Burger”…). The sizes of the hamburgers increased with maleness and seniority in the heteronormative family (ie, Papa Burger bigger than Mama or Teen burger…).”
The claim, which seeks $50,000 compensation for “loss of dignity and self-respect”, states that “the whole heteronormative, phallocentric marketing scheme of A&W is highly degrading to non-traditional families”. The applicant also sought a court order that A&W should be required “to develop and implement a modern burger family which is more inclusive…” It asserts that as “science has shown that up to five adults can take part in the procreation process” therefore “the notions of motherhood, and more importantly, fatherhood, should be completely abolished”. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/law/weirdcases/article3829447.ece

Interestingly, it seems Hulkenberg's been having talks with Lotus (link is to a video-story):

If Raikkonen leaves Hulkenberg would be a good replacement, but he may also go there if Grosjean can't maintain good form.
I said earlier that if I were Red Bull I'd pick him for Webber's seat. This seems unlikely, but he could also be a contender for Massa's.
Di Resta's recent bad qualifying and his first response of blaming the team probably isn't endearing him to either his present or prospective teams.

"The Director of Public Prosecutions may be forced to review his guidelines on when people can be helped to die after a landmark Court of Appeal ruling today. Three senior judges rejected right-to-die appeals by the family of late locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson and paralysed road accident victim Paul Lamb.
But in another case, brought by a locked-in syndrome sufferer known only as “Martin”, a majority of the judges ruled that the DPP guidelines on assisted suicide were in breach of human rights laws. Martin wanted guidance as to whether a doctor or health professional could help him to die without risk of prosecution.
At present the guidelines only apply to such help given by close family and friends and Martin’s wife does not wish to be involved in helping him end his life. Richard Stein, of Leigh Day, who represented Martin, said: “This is a hugely significant moment in allowing people control. “They will be able to seek help from people with no personal connection to them but acting in good faith - most likely to be carers or health professionals - to be able to die with dignity in a manner and at a time of their choosing.” http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/article3830273.ece

So do you have any explanation for this persistent dishonesty? You want these liars to be in charge of the country? Really?
The SNP are simply the most dishonest party in the UK. You cannot trust anything they do or say. They have got away with this nonsense for far too long and need to be utterly discredited before next year.
The terrifying thing is that nobody in the SNP , from Salmond and upwards , has condemned these outrages.
Are you drunk?
The SNP ran a successful minority government and then won a landslide in 2011 as an endorsement by the public of their time in power.
That they cause you or other PB tories to foam at the mouth is of no consequence whatsoever. The scottish public certainly don't think they are "simply the most dishonest party in the UK" and there's plenty of real evidence of approval ratings instead of some fairly unhinged assertions and bile. Or if you like we could go into the expenses scandal, the Iraq War and plenty of other political issues to see just who is the most " persistent dishonest" party full of liars.

My view is simple. While so many 2010 LDs stick with Labour there's no way that the Tories can win.
This gives Labour 6-7% on the 30% of last time a total that makes it enormously difficult for the Tories.
The current moves by Crosby simple reinforce the position of the 2010 LDs who've switched.

Fairlamb has a similar memory of the young Farage, who he says pronounced his surname as the rather un-European “Farridge” in those days. “He was cheeky and charming and you could never quite believe him,” Fairlamb recalls. “On his last day I told him he would go far, but I wasn’t sure if it would be in fame or infamy.
