When panic shapes policy 9:25pm on 11 Sep 2009 Can we choose Peter for Bishop of Rome?

No chance; he has an unexpired conviction for denial...
Bloodgate brings Deano down 12:42pm on 22 Aug 2009 This all seems very amateur - perhaps they should hire a soccer consultant who really does know how to fake an injury. I refer, of course, to Neil Warnock, who pulled the stunt after having three players sent off, and got away with it.
Pubs aren't dying - they are evolving 8:54pm on 07 Aug 2009 Remember all the non-smokers who said they'd come back to the pubs if smoking was banned?

Have you met any who did? Thought not...

Oh, and I'm a non-smoker who got very tetchy when people smoked in a restaurant. What was needed was a common sense attitude to smoking in pubs, but that seems to in short supply these days.
Why men are to blame for the crunch 3:14pm on 29 Jul 2009 Just two words - Margaret Thatcher.
Tory plan to sanitise banks 09:52am on 22 Jul 2009 #124. Bootlicker :

"IR35 was a Tory Plan
but
IR35 was implemented by New Labour "

Indeed. So why vote for either?

The biggest transport mistake of the last 50 years was the Beeching Plan to devastate our rail network. Guess what?

Beeching was a Tory Plan
but
Beeching was implemented by (Old) Labour

So why vote for either? Is it any wonder that voters are going for nationalist parties including the fascist BNP?
Tory plan to sanitise banks 09:27am on 22 Jul 2009 63. writingsonthewall

"3 - Historically financial regulation HAS NEVER EVER PREVENTED A BUST "

How would we know? It's like the Millenium Bug - it didn't happen because we prepared for it and fixed it - I know, I was one of the fixers.
Why banks must be allowed to die 9:47pm on 26 Jun 2009 88. nottoonear :

"Yes, indeed. Executives of Network Rail are to be paid bonuses for increasing debt, declining profits and not meeting their objectives...
I await further information from BBC News."

Don't hold your breath. The BBC is too obsessed with the appalling Michael Jackson to report on anything else. How convenient for Notwork Fail...
Hester's Royal remuneration 3:30pm on 22 Jun 2009 55. Wee-Scamp:

"Actually the real problem I have is that I just don't believe that running a bank is a particularly difficult thing to do and that it doesn't take anyone special to do it."

Probably true, but it takes real genius to run one into the ground like the heroes of NR, HBoS and RBS...
Goodwin: The final pension sum 2:53pm on 22 Jun 2009 Thanks to the wonder of on-line banking, I didn't have to leave my house to be ripped off by this one!
Goodwin: The final pension sum 2:09pm on 22 Jun 2009 Oh, so the millions of pounds in subsidy from the taxpayer were quite unnecessary? Silly Mr Brown!

I'm quite happy with my achievements, thank you. I just don't like being ripped off by the greedy and incompetent.
