Monday 23 November 2009 2:50pm on 24 Nov 2009 I have to admit i'm most interested in finding out what the so-called experts think will bring the uk out of recession, quicker. And how it will affect ME!!! The Conservatives have practically promised to push my car for me the next time i run out of petrol miles from a service station. so i don't think they'll be saying anything practical at all. Digby ( i'm loaded) Jones, probably will want to scrap the 50% tax rise and place it firmly down there where the poorest members of society can share the burden. And Gordon Brown will just spend more so, that if the conservatives win, we will feel some effect of their cuts.
In all honesty, I'd like to see the Liberals get their act together, so we can all vote Lib dem, so the smarmy (if it aint me, it's gonna be you)gits have something to think about.
Monday 21 September 2009 00:22am on 26 Sep 2009 I go away from this board for months and come back to the shame old XXXX, I mean Eugenics and Race. I feel like it's christmas and I'm listening to Noddy Holder AGAIN!
LETS do the TIMEWARP AGAAAAIIIINNNNNNN!!!!
yeah i know he didn't sing that one!

Boring!
Help Dave with a campaign slogan! 00:04am on 26 Sep 2009 We know what we're going to do - But we're not telling you!
or
The Conservative party - When we're in, we'll fill you in!
or
Blair spun and won - were spinning and winning!
Newsnight caption challenge 11:54am on 30 Apr 2009 I have beside me the prime minister elect of England, anyone for soup?
Newsnight caption challenge 4:50pm on 29 Apr 2009 For those of you who don't believe the world is changing! Look what's happened to Michael Moore!!
Customer service - have your say 8:00pm on 27 Apr 2009 Loved Julia's suit, she looks amazingly hot in it! Haha, imagine that's my only comment on the show, didn't like the reflective rock too distracting. I think whenever a new Card such as The gas safe card is issued, that it should be available for people to research these things on a government website and notices at local post offices.is that too much to ask for?
What spending would you cut? 7:20pm on 24 Apr 2009 1) on My list would be I.D. Cards purely because i don't see what they add to the mountain of knowledge that the government already has on most of us, that own, the following, An Oyster card, a credit card, a drivers license, a passport, national insurance number, a loyalty card an e-mail address, I could go on, why another card? so the police can abuse the powers already at thier disposal? Cost to benefit over what the state already knows about us (as mentioned above) as individuals is surely going to be zilch.

3) Link MP's pay rises to those of Civil servants, if they want to bump up thier own wages they'll have to bump up that of all the civil servants who work for them. (Wishful aren't I?)(Probably save in the region of £1.5Billion

3) If as is clear we need to build new power stations, Why can't some of the cost be put on the entity that is going to use it, i.e EDF or National Power et al. which would also mean they would be expected to maintain the facilities to UK legislation/Regulations. And couold be iven a lease similar to that of the Mobile phone companies. (70 - 100 BILLION IN THE COFFERS, Estimate!)

4) If George Osborne gloats anymore about the position we as a country are in, i'd love for one of the newsnight team to give him a swift kick in his nether regions. He and his party continue to say everything and offer nothing, why won't the journalists start nailing them, they are expecting to take over in a years time and i know nothing about them.
Is David Cameron an environmentalist or another dreamer? Is George Osborne the love child of peter mandelson? I'm fed up hearing about what is from these two, i want to know what will be if they get to kick Gordon and the dreamers out of office. Other wise i'll stick with the devil i know.

5) Yeah i know i went off base, but i'm not offering these poltician anymore ideas, they're getting paid for them,i'm not!
Friday, 13 March, 2009 3:55pm on 16 Mar 2009 Hope i'm not proved wrong! but hey it was good while it lasted
Friday, 13 March, 2009 3:54pm on 16 Mar 2009 #54, I can't believe it! What no eugenics Tirade?
No have a look at this link?
Has the world spun off axis?
I really am lost for words! so i'll just quietly sneak off out the back of the newsnight forum.
Hoping jaded doesn't notice. Smile Jaded. you are on your way to lightening up a bit!!
Friday, 13 March, 2009 10:01pm on 14 Mar 2009 #35 As much as i disagree with the methods of these so-called 'extremists'.

I think there is a point, where you have to break down exactly what they have done.

which is; to protest against something they do not agree with.
Perhaps, those of us who consider the UK to be perfect, would find there is no such need.
however as the debates on this site conclude time and time again, we do not agree with a lot of things that are done supposedly with our interests at heart.

If these protestors had been white and middle class, they would merely have been brushed off as a loony left fringe.
It seems to me that, we as a society have become so averse to protest, that we get all wound up when someone else decides to protest about something i.e.The Green Custard Lady, Which is why we have a political elite who have no interest in 'the general public' and go about setting policies knowing full well that the only people that protest (Getting out of thier armchairs!) are Muslim Men.

The rest of us have a 'what this weekend? ooh I'm off to watch the Arsenal this weekend!' mentality.
put it into perspective people! they made a lot of noise, does this really make them extremists!!
If so then i expect the police cells to be very busy tonight with thousands of football Extremists who go on thier weekly rampages through our major cities this weekend, wreaking much more havoc than these individuals.
