Lloyds TSB was such a prudent bank. Unfortunately, the Chairman made a political decision to buy HBOS and Lloyds TSB was saddled with debts and bailouts.

I hear what you're saying DJ and it's what I've been hearing for the past 25 years. But England have always been crying out for ball playing centre halves for decades and over the last ten years there have been a shortage of naturally left footed midfielders. So over the horizon I can see Bartley and Rodwell as centre halves who are comfortable on the ball and in distribution. Also Mceachran (17) and Wilshire (19) are both naturally left footed players and have played well in Champions League games already. It must be remembered that Spain were underachievers for the amount of talented players they had. And it's only recently that they began to win trophies. Germany had been in the doldrums since 2000 and were not expected to get far in World Cup 2010. However, no one accounted for the number of youngsters promoted from the U21 team and they became stars overnight. I see England playing possession football once Mceachran & Wilshire are first choice midfielders with two footballing centre halves behind them.

Unfortunately northlondoner, the Tories have not abandoned their principles from a bygone era. Perhaps a deeper analysis of the Tories would confirm my understanding of the party.

Indeed, it reminds of playing football on Blackheath where the ball swirls in the wind.

Straferjack said on another thread that he'll only listens to people if they hold certain positions as in the case of Tony Blair, former PM. This suggests to me that SJ does not have the analytical skills to determine another person's knowledge or capability other than their position. Now if SJ & Paco wants to be judges then I suggest they should read the thread and be in the possession of the full facts rather than being spoon fed with information. However, with their inability to gather relevant information then I very much doubt I'll want to take their views seriously.

If you followed the thread properly, which no doubt you haven't, you would see my earlier comments which were similar with the Noam Chomsky's comments in the youtube link given by Scylla100.

Absolutely right, Loz. Always a tosser with the Tories!

Well it seems Noam Chomsky and Undisputedtruth thinks along the same lines!!! B) How's that for intellect, Straferjack?

It's an old Tory divertion tactic: appear to support the disabled in public while cutting their disabled benefits.

Same here, I have only used one screen name on the EDF. But for some unknown reason it doesn't stop Straferjack from dishing the dirt at evry opportunity.

Perhaps it's time we hear something from you in terms of intellect.

Still up to your old tricks Straferjack.

Greed have always been a factor in any financial bubble and I don't think there are enough controls to stop the next bubble either. There will always be financial bubbles. With the bets getting larger, can taxpayers be able to afford to cover the next set of losses? Sorry NN but I disagree with your suggestions.

Yes they did. Even featured the Danish scientist who suggested the substance. You should be able to catch the programme on iplayer. The financial issues started well before 911.

The BBC programme covered accelerants and WTC-7. While the financial crisis is still an ongoing matter which concerns us all I think the 911 conspiracy theory has run its course.

Construction on the Bakerloo extension could start in 2020 but is unlikely to go through Dulwich. The Victorian line practically goes to Herne Hill where the trains loops around to Brixton. As Jeremy has pointed out before I don't think there is a strong business case for East Dulwich to get its own tube station.

There was a good programme about the 911 conspiracy theories on BBC2 last night. My view on the 911 conspiracy theory is there was no conspiracy by the US Government. I don't think they're that competent enough to pull something of that scale successfully. I don't doubt there are pockets of evidence which points to conspiracies but on the other hand normal science explanations supports a different view.

When Wilshire played against Barcelona in the Champions League he matched the likes of Xavi & Iniesta. So England can and still do produce world class talent. In 2009, Rodwell played against German U21s and had a very good game against them winning 1-0. However, Rodwell was not picked for the World Cup and some of the German youngsters were and became stars overnight. I remember players like Lampard, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Owen, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Beckham, and Scholes from when they were upcoming players. They were all mentioned as England hopefuls at the time and eventually one by one were drafted to the full England squad. For some unknown reason, England fans expects the next generation of players to be a carbon copy of the ones before rather than appreciating the qualities that are unique to the players and how they add value to the squad. Back in the eighties players like Trevor Francis, Liam Brady, Graeme Souness, etc all played in Italy while their International team won naff all. During the 70s & 80s British omestic teams used to be feared throughout Europe. Out of the crop of youngsters, Josh Mceachran takes my pick. So comfortable on the ball. Wilshire and Mceachran are the next Iniesta & Xavi type players. England's future are with them.

Over the last ten or so years England have never found a style of play that suited their players. However, I'm very optimistic about England in the future (possibly two to three years). I like the look of Mceachran and Wilshire with their passing abilities. I'd say Mceachran is a better passer than Wilshire. But there's a question to whether Mceachran will get enough games with his current club to develop as a player. Also like the look of Kyle Bartly and Jack Rodwell as central defenders. Both comfortable on the deck and in the air. Shame about Frimpong because he would have added steel to the midfield. With Rooney upfront and Hart as goalkeeper England would have a solid spine in the team.

Fairly rational decision I wonder. Go-Ahead owns Southern and the article belows shows how much the Chief Executive gets with an annual package of ?1.4m. Easy to see where the money is going.

New Nexus, as I have said some time ago it would be better if you can modify your approach. Someone said to me many years ago that if you're not able to get your message across then you're not communicating. So you need to look at the audience and pitch the information in a format they understand. Of course, there are some people with hidden agendas that no matter how well you put the information across they will always claim another view or make unjustified criticisms. But that's not your problem and best not to get involved as there are many sensible people on this forum with open minds. Most people on the EDF do not understand the financial crisis and so unable to understand the points you're making. It's a bit like when Christopher Columbus said to people that the Earth was round but they didn't understand it and claimed Christopher must be mad. I don't think you're mad and the information you have provided can be very informative to the informed person.

Gandhi had few possessions when he died. Gandhi didn't play by the rules of colonialism. Was Gandhi successful? You bet he was.

Hence why I thought the second half of your post was difficult to put into context. I liked this bit Marxist political economy develops through the analysis of the actual crises of capitalism.

I live in Nunhead and I get an excellent reception for my Freeview TV using a set top aerial.
