I suggest you do a deal more research.

Lets all move to the land of the rich...SCOTLAND. :)

No point staying in England under a government that robs you blind, time to get my bags packed. :)

Nicola Sturgeon warns UK may be heading for EU exit
I can not see it, corruption rules the waves and the UK and Europe is screwed by the bloated beast known as the EU.

Back to Nicola Sturgeon comment yes the "may" word was used. :03:

Politicians like using..may..possible..could be..and all the rest of those swing words that can go one way or the other. :)

Oil prices continue on a downward spiral, some predicting an eventual fall to $10 per barrel.

I had to laugh at ToffBoy who thinks its great, cheaper fuel for the worker going to work. He clearly is not seeing the bigger picture.


Anyway here is one for you jim, yes another Labour story.

Labour Review Highlights Election Failings
http://news.sky.com/story/1623058/la...ction-failings


Quote:

:: A failure to shake off the myth that Labour was responsible for the financial crash and failure to build trust in the economy
This was the great Tory lie and people bought this, the way it was presented by the Tories it came across Labour caused the world wide crash of 2007/8. Get stuffed it started in America with the ponzi sub prime mortgage scam and like all ponzi scams it collapsed. I do feel strongly Labour defence was a wash out and they took blow after blow from the Tories and never punched back good and hard.

Quote:

:: An inability to deal with "issues of connection" and in particular a failure to communicate on benefits and immigration
It is clear now under the last government and present immigration is out of hand and targets are a joke. The Tories came across more forthright to a point. That is to say how to sell a lie and watch the fools buy it.

Quote:

:: Mr Miliband was judged not to be as strong a leader as David Cameron
Have to agree, Ed is a nice guy but he let the Tories steamroller him and that is a sign of weakness.

Quote:

:: A fear among voters of the SNP propping up a minority Labour government
Not so much as that the Tories sold it if Ed got in with a minority the SNP would rule the roost and Ed would have to tow their line.

3 BOTH Labour AND Conservative want to kill off the NHS as its drains,at the moment just too much resources from the national kitty/Tax/ funding everybody else except us!

1. More to do with a oil war, who will win? Watch this space..

2. I don't trust the employment figures just like I don't trust the unemployment figures. The Tories state more people are in full time work, what about part time work or worst still zero hours.

3. Tories are destroying the NHS faster but I can not say Labour is saving it as they did bring in PFI by the back door.

4. (Page not found) No comment.

BTW: Captain Jack Tar feel free to join in and welcome. :)

Tony Blair has declined to appear before a Commons select committee investigating links between the IRA and Libya.

The former prime minister has strongly denied trying to stop victims of IRA attacks carried out with Libyan weapons from receiving compensation.

Why?

If he is in the clear then no issue, saying no is making lots of people wonder what is it he is hiding?

Marr: So what is Labours policy on Trident?
Corbyn: I'm glad you asked me that since we haven't really spoken about it, look...how about we keep the submarines but take the nasty nuclear bit out of it.
Marr: So...a nuclear missile submarine without any nuclear missiles?
Corbyn: Oh no, we keep the missiles, just take the warheads off
Marr: ....and who will tell the Russians that it's an empty missile if it's launched?
Corbyn: ....
Marr: ....
Corbyn: So about these strike laws...
