QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Dec 23 2014, 05:13 PM) Ooh, ooh, let's do one with Ed trying to eat a bacon sandwich next, that'll be a laugh. So, let's be clear here, you wouldn't vote for a party because it's leader had difficulty with a rather stringy bacon sandwich, but you would vote for a party that wanted mandatory abortions for disabled children. Odd outlook. |

Oh dear, This was an Urban Myth back in 2006 and it's an Urban Myth now. Why do numpties insist on spreading nonsense? "don't panic Captain Mainwaring, don't panic...." Tiresome |

QUOTE (x2lls @ Dec 19 2014, 11:34 AM) Blimey, hang 'em high why don't you!! And therein lies the problem. It's about time people started taking responsibility for their own actions. So, no more ducking and diving, no more hiding behind weasel words, let's clear out at least one piece of dead wood who quite obviously couldn't organise a pi$$-up in a brewery, or a Christmas market at Christmas time. Stand up, admit you've failed the people and the store holders. Set an example. Walk. (after all, if they can't do the job.....they shouldn't be in it). The door's over there. This wasn't the same numpty who, a few years ago, organised our illuminated lantern parade in broad daylight was it? |

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Oct 19 2014, 10:51 PM) I wonder if pandering to the eco warriors in Brussels still looks like a good idea. The Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD, 2001/80/EC) which, by the way, Britain supported, co-authored and voted for, gave Didcot a couple of choices, either clean up its act or opt out of the Directive. It was a particularly 'dirty' generator and the use of Desulphurisation equipment would have meant it could have gone on well into the future. It's owners (the German company RWE - one of those companies presently exposed as being a low tax payer i.e. no tax for three years) decided, for reasons best known to them, to 'opt out' of the directive, this then gave them 20,000 hours more generating after the 'opt out' That time ran out at the end of March 2013. Can't really see who was pandering to who... |

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Oct 15 2014, 10:35 PM) That depends with what prejudice you view the comment. I feel that both ends of the argument just look for confirmation bias* without really caring about the truth. I don't view the comment with any prejudice at all. The person making the assertion is entitled to their own view. (And the same freedom allows others to find it fvckin' hilarious) What I did was post a link which I hoped would give a more 'balanced' view. I happen to think the percentages speak for themselves i.e. we are not overcrowded. |

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Oct 14 2014, 05:00 PM) to an already crowded country? There it is. Always going appear sooner or later. The fact of the matter is the population of the UK will fit on the Isle of Wight four times over. In addition the total area of England that has been built on is just under 3%. Odd definition of 'overcrowded,. Myth |

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Oct 11 2014, 09:40 PM) "The programme was recorded BEFORE the result was known."
Why does that make a difference? Its ok to judge people voting before they vote?
You sound like Ed Miliband and all the other political "Elite" by answering a question by ignoring it and asking another - Answer why UKIP Are Racist - please? Oh good grief. You said " A typical example of "BBC" Stereotyping was again seen just last night Have I got news for you. UKIP get an elected member of parliament. Out comes a fake gun" When the gun came out UKIP had not got a member elected to parliament. You got it round the wrong way. We are still waiting for you to take the chance to back up your original statement that somehow UKIP being racist was all got up by the media. I simply gave you the opportunity to tell us for once and for all that UKIP weren't racist. Since then you've done nothing but prevaricate. Fair enough. |

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Oct 11 2014, 07:28 PM) Can you please explain why they are racist? Reading your post you implied that the BBC et al had demonised UKIP as being racist. I merely asked if you were saying they (UKIP) had been or were being mis-represented. I asked for clarification. Here's your big chance. Are you saying that UKIP are not racist and it's all been got up by the media? |

Couple of sheets of large plate glass..........job's a good 'un. Seriously, how much thought and effort went into this 'sympathetic design' ?
