Well my suggestion is that we do a random representative sample from each constituency and whoever is selected HAS to do it....if we really want to get a more representative House of Commons

Agree Upson had a poor season but it was in a poor team and he's always played well for England so I guess Capello went for his experience

...please don't This never seems to work for us, I hope it's just some mind games type stuff

Does Mick owe you a 'drink' Declan?

Well, There you go. Good old England. Hopefully the Aussies in the final. England were like stupidly high odds (Possibly 40s but certainly 20) to win this tournament and I thought that looks very generous....sadly I didn't partake :'(

This would actually be better used as a nice hedge if you were planning on lumping on big on another team given that Spain are the favourites

Practically a free bet opportunity on Spain at the moment on betfair First time winner 2.62 LAY Spain 5 BET Worth it? I guess you could be a bit worried by Holland or maybe Portugal but Naah

They' re looking at the scale of the problem now. Labour didn't even have the balls to lay out their spending plans as they knew how bad it was. The Tories hinted at it nad saw their polling scores drop......we don't want to knwo! Most economist know how bad it is.

That's the reaction they'll get from many for what is actually a very brave decision to try and avert this country from financial catasrophe.......their braveness will almost certainly not be reawarded because most people have no conception or willingness to take on board how dire our situation is. The Labour inner guard know it which is why they are mainly pleased that they won't have to take these tough decisions (again). This country was going bust in the late 70s and is again now.

You're confusing THE global Financial crisis with the state of our public finances, the latter IS very much down to Gordon, sorry. Now tory tax cuts would have looked awful and been irresponsible (though fiscally not amounting to much) but the state of our budget defeceit and the carnage that's to come is a result of a continued long term overspending by the state in general (Labour and Tory) which has been horrendously accelerated and amplified by the totally politically motivated, hubristic and irresponsible spending spree of Brown in his 'no more boom and bust' phase. Once he left the Tory defined plan on public spending in the early 2000s (remember when he was prudent) our spending and defeceit has spiralled out of control on Gordon's credit card binge. It was unsound, stupid and basically our country needs to stop living beyond its means or we will be Greece, as it is it's not going to be pleasant as with Pensions, Education and Health ringfenced (rightly so but that's well over half of total spend) the we are going to have to cut the remaining budget by 50% or so in the next 3 years to get back on track, utterrly awful....Labour just wouldn't have been able to do that, it's not in its DNA nor would it's high percentage of Unison/unite MPs allowed it....once more, that's the problem with socialism you eventually run out of other people's money...(or I'd add credit). We are near that point. The sooner people take this on board, as to a degree the Liberal Democrats have, then we can get on with trying to sort this mess out over the next painful 5 years or so, people in general and the left just seems completley unwilling to face up to these basic numbers there is no way out of this. Painful as it is we would be best to accept it take our painful medecine in unity...if we run out of credit and default believe me it will be the weak, poor, marginalised, ill and elderly who will suffer the most. Reality check.

....not least because any fucker who puts us through that again within a year deserves to be booted out

I don't think any were even involved in the negotiations or in any key cabinet positions....

Gawd!!! I can't believe it's not the Mash...laughable.

Ronaldhino not in Brazil squad...

I think you've confused me with someone who gives a sh1te about your opinion Mr M

...Goose Green new bit when it's finished Toy Story 3...COME ON JULY

Is the Royal Wedding commemorative plate....you know.....the, urm, right shape?

Which is why it's agood election for Labour to lose - the Tories will be beaten with Cutters once gain and the LDs will be called 'tories'...I notice a sudden refreshed step in the likes of Balls, Milliband, Clarke etc this morning. The wiser and more visionary members of the Labour party know that this is a good election to have lost.

Er, I didn't. I was pointing out that she was, uniquely, and from the conservative party a woman. Depressingly, there don't seem to be hardly any woman involved either the Coalition or the Labour leadership race...

Oh come on you have to think of the physcology(sp) ....as we speak many people over 35 are preparing their banners and getting their megaphones out for "Maggie, Maggiee, Maggie out, out , out" ...a chance to revisit their youth Meanwhile the unders 35s can't wait to take part in a - 'Ashes to Ashes' style retro-80s politics, the 80s are very 'in' you know. In the meantime, we have an unpleasant few years ahead because of our defeceit and the economic situation and we desperately need some 'grown ups' to try and sort it out.

Special Brew at breakfast AFN?

PS Heath was working class too

Other famous public schoolboys that have run this country since the war Atlee Blair Actual working class PMs Major Female PMs Thatcher Our choice this election was for a bunch of upper class toffs or a bunch of Middle class Public Sector union member teachers if we want stereotypes The class hatred stuff is even getting on my nerves now......It's actually a bit pathetic and shows that we as a country need to 'move on' as Jeremy Kyle might say

What Mr Ben said

You been on the sauce again AFN?
