  1. Agreed. You only need to look at the amount of people receiving benefits other than child benefit to realise that the tax payer is basically subsidising the paying of low wages by businesses to improve their profit margin.
  2. At least the figures exist, unlike the Conservative manifesto. As for courting popularity, what would you call the U-turn on the dementia tax which Amber Rudd still would not put a figure on?
  3. So basically what you're saying is that, as an electorate, we are collectively not worth May's time? I don't know about you but I wouldn't expect to get a job when I was so arrogant as to not turn up for the interview. As for Corbyn turning up and not Diane Abbot, why should he send a substitute when he can(and should) come in? If what I read earlier was right, May would rather hide behind a woman who lost a parent only a couple of days before. Rather sums up her level of compassion.
  4. I think you are cheapening things yourself a bit by referring to all the attendees as 'chimps'. What I saw was standard fare and no different to the last televised debate I watched in 2015 with regards to the talking over. It spoke volumes to me that May did not attend as did her nervous laughing response earlier that she was far too busy with important things like Brexit (paraphrased but the gist of it). Too busy to put her party's views and manifesto, albeit vague and uncosted, in front of the public who she expects to hand her a mandate to govern? I still say too arrogant or too scared to debate unscripted.
  5. Have to say that I disagree, Kevin. The only element that you describe was for me plainly created by May's non-attendance provoking the references to such.
  6. I can only see 2 reasons for her not taking part. She's either so arrogant that she thinks she can do what she likes because it's already in the bag or she's not able to take part in an unscripted debate. :001_rolleyes:
  7. Don't give them the pleasure. Why let a troll decide what you enjoy on-line? Just ignore the drivel.
  8. Ah, that makes sense. At least it explains Mark's Stella tattoo.
  9. It'll be all over the radio then. Oh, hang on.......:lol:
  10. I thought your Mrs was called Ruth?
  11. Always enjoy a bit of Ska. [ame] [/ame]
  12. :post:Remember, top handle on the ground means you're going to prison, you villain.
  13. Not to his face, no.
  14. Especially not if Steve gets up there.
  15. See, great minds think alike.
  16. Probably to prevent drunken arbs on holiday trying to impress their girlfriends.
  17. Ah, didn't think of that. Maybe catch him by surprise with a couple of bricks instead.
  18. Maybe she should just pop him down the vets. Worked on our tom cat.
  19. I've never said it was. What would be cool is to stop the mindless, repetitious bear-baiting that has been allowed to go on. When somebody's sole interest on a forum is to post offensive statements with the intention to goad other members into a response then that person's membership needs to be seriously considered, if only for the maintenance of a friendly atmosphere on the site.
  20. Some come to debate, some merely to ****-stir.
  21. No ****, Sherlock.
  22. The one about Nadiya's donuts?
  23. Sorry, I meant the main text of the story. I can read the smaller headline about the Manchester bomber escaping surveillance and wondered if it was to do with the information that his family and community had reportedly warned the authorities 5 times about him without any action being taken. Haven't been out for the papers yet.
