But he's won now. And almost unheard of, for the (main) governing party to gain seats.
As for unlucky New Labour happening to be on watch, by 2008 that government was on a vast, over-borrowed money, spending spree, and add the huge off balance sheet debt of PFI/PPP deals signed-off by New...
Ed stumbling off the BBC stage, when chummily waving to his "friends", the audience.
The exit poll's shock predicted result.
Cameron's speech (in Lincoln) - nothing special in its delivery, but bringing the issue to the fore of Scottish MP's being able to vote in the Commons on solely English...
He enjoyed the fame and power of being a Minister, then craftily resigned with a few months to go, to distance himself from any negatives from working in the Coalition. Nice try, but the move failed.
Your Labour friends linked up with private finance providers from 1997 to 2010, in PFI and PPP deals, that have saddled NHS trusts with £80b of debt, that requires real cash flow out of hospital budgets. That's hard cash that could be paying for extra nurses, life-saving drugs, pay rises for...
Seems a pot luck thing. Your brother met some lazy or by-the-book coppers. Another time, it might have been Police who were prepared to see it through. Shouldn't be like that.
Black and white thinking that the Tories are evil, whilst Labour are credible and wonderful. The result - mental misery for the next five years for the bitter and twisted. Happy days.
I will say "never". Poyet did an amazing job during his Withdean period of 19 months. Brilliant possession and attacking football, sound player ins and outs.
It all unravelled after that - he didn't rate the brilliant Murray worthy of modest Championship pay, paid fortunes in the fee and wages...
? Your calculations are rubbish.
And yes, many players were on £10k+ per week, once we moved to the Amex. Which is common in the Championship. All part of the Poyet mess, the Board have been sorting out,
Agree with you. I often upgrade my son's to an adult card, doing the honest thing. One good point, the separate queue on the left of the ticket booths for this type of collection is always tiny, taking 5 minutes max. Unlike the poor buggers is the always long snaking queue to the right...
:facepalm: The Ipswich, Bournemouth and Burnley (2013/14 version) squads are/were all better balanced, with simply far more accomplished Championship level players, than this squad assembled by Burke. I bet McCarthy, Howe and Dyche have a far greater role in player recruitment than OG and SH.
Predictably Large One didn't admit his clear error on NSC. Where a member stated "sadly a poor bike-riding student was killed", Large One read into it something else and most bizarrely ??? responded with "What a thoroughly unpleasant person you are".
That says everything you need to know...
A lucky 6th. God that football was awful, but there were so many mid-table teams last season that were just as bad.
So the fall in the standard of football and results has been at the Amex for quite a while.
The games when English clubs get beaten in Europe are always opportunities for Albion fans suffering in this potentially relegation season, to get a crumb of comfort in other clubs woes. A german word, but a very British feeling - Schadenfreude.
Yes, but you are forgetting something. Brown, Balls and Miliband left a financial disaster. Even they, if they'd won in 2010, said that there would be years ahead of Govt spending cuts and public sector pay restraint. Private sector employers similarly froze pay to survive and stave off...
He's highly regarded, and it looks like he's strong enough now to cope with the power of opponents too.
On the Argus thread on this, some doom-mongers are going on about he flopped at Brentford this time last year. But he's a year older and stronger, and has spent more time under a great...
