Any comedy that combines intelligence with a sense of transgression makes me laugh .... I enjoy that moment when I'm laughing and the person next to me is gasping in shock .. makes it even funnier to see it hit it's target
See Richard Herrings bit about Jesus wanking him off with his stigmata (it's ok it's not 'cos Jesus loves him) I pissed myself BB told me to turn it off :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Oh and download As it occurs to me .... everyone should know what a cumkin is
Greg Proops smartest man podcasts are both funny and informative if a little yankocentric
There are many others I should mention but can't be bothered at the moment ..... but I would suggest looking further than i-tunes for your comedy podcast needs
I wouldn't vote for UKIP for their policy on immigration it says here that they haven't actually got one
I don't think you're talking about role models .. there are good and bad ones in all walks of life (and a bad model is just as useful in educating children as a good one) What is really being discussed is influence, I would suggest you look to the media not the worthless fuckwits celebrated by it

It's never answered because it contradicts the oft repeated , rarely challenged Thatcherite lie that nationalised industry is necessarily wasetfull .... The problem lies in good or bad management and political interference, industry succeeds not because of who owns it but because of how it is run.

I know that !!! I wanted to hear the other buggers theories lol
Just getting the counter arguement in first .... give 'em something to go at
1: I'm a bit right wing I like Top Gear and think Jezzer is hilaaaaarious = Climate change baaah humbug
2: Clarkson is a fucking idiot,I am prepared to accept that someone who has spent their whole career studying the effects of human activity on the planet may actually know a little more about it than me = there may well be something in this climate change malarkey .perhaps we should try to do something about it
I'll let you guess where I stand
The whole tax arguement is by the way utter nonsense

Coffee should be made with freshly ground beans ..... tea does not come in bags (these consist of floor sweepings and rat shit) we are a nation of hot beverage philistines and should hang our heads in shame

There are three sides fighting in Syria two are Syrian and one comprises foreign nationals, I think it would be a mistake to withdraw support for the FSA and the chance of any future influence on them because they are being infiltrated by other it would be more helpful to support them and hopefully be in a position later to assist them in forming a secular a non interventionist policy would do is leave us with shit on our hands and nothing to show for it

If a secular State did not follow the fall of Saddam Hussein and did not follow the fall of Mubarak and Gadaffi - why do you think a murderous bunch of religious fanatics would bow to the West and allow secular democracy in Syria post Assad? There is no chance of that and there is every chance that the axis of fanaticism would link Iran, Hezbollah and Al Queda in a belt of religious lunacy in the Eastern Med.
I think it a little early to see what the Egyptian,or Libyan states will become. Iraq is different, because of the nature of the regime change it is an easy sell for any group to describe any western backed government as an imposed government
I think that you make a mistake in believing that the defining feature of Iran,Hezbollah and Al Queda is their religion, it is a common feature and a useful rallying cry; but they all have different aims and serve different is a mistake I believe to conflate the three just because they have a God in common ...after all so did the I.R.A and the U.D.F.

Cameron's eyes are set too close together for my liking....

Camerons' eyes aren't too close together, the rest of his face is just too big for them

Nope .... still don't understand the ludicrous obsession that some of our media and their drones have with this man,the only real explanation I can see is that it is at it's heart just more anti-E.U. propaganda
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE E.U. AND THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ENTITIES I may have mentioned this before,it would seem that the distinction is lost on some other members
We are not supporting Islamic terrorists , we are supporting people who wish to rid themselves of the yoke of a murderous and oppressive regime. The fact that they are Muslim (in part ) and opposing an incumbent government does not make them terrorists. Fighting injustice and torture is not terrorism.

Can you answer the question that after she stepped down and the Tory party lost the election to Tony Blair, why did Labour not reverse any of her polices on Trade Union reforms and Privatised industries?

Very briefly Star, the privatised industries were sold at a knock down price, mainly to multi-national investment banks. The same investment banks the UK economy came to depend on once heavy industries in the manufacturing sector had been decimated and we'd moved to a financial services led economy. How exactly would the Labour party have gone about buying these industries back once sold, or closed down? At what cost? Billions upon billions upon billions. Simply impossible.
There's a clue there also to your question on trade union reform. With the loss of the industrial / manufacturing base the larger trade unions ( I'm thinking steelworkers, railway workers, heavy engineering, dockers, miners, yadda, yadda, ya ) had been reduced to an irrelevance. There was no power to give back given that the union's power base had largely gone.
That's a simplistic view, but I think a correct one. You cannot bring something back once it's been destroyed wholesale, the infrastructure was no longer there, but what remained in private hands. The same private hands Blair as a kind of Thatcher-lite toadied up to for his own power base.
See I told you lol
Why on earth would the Tory Lite TM party that the warmongering traitor Blair created want to repair Thatchers damage?? It served to keep him in power

And so we get to why I gave up .... a typical pointless descent into name calling and bullshit

Sorry Staggers I must have you confused with someone else. Are you not the same Staggers that was involved in most of the " name calling and bullshit " in the past ?? So you've turned over a new leaf then?
No I got thoroughly fed up of being dragged into it .... I stopped posting I will endeavour not to make similar mistakes in future
If you just happen to accidentally creep over the speed limit ,you are not in control of your vehicle and therefore a hazard to other road users ... if you do it deliberately you are an irresponsible idiot

Take it with a large pinch of salt Steve. None of us ( for I would fall into the camp you mention ) would truly wish anyone dead, but it's a measure of the absolute hatred her name still brings out in those who got the shittier end of her particular stick.
It's difficult to mourn when you think of just how many lives this woman destroyed, callously, to such little purpose, cos as others on there have rightly pointed out this golden age of Thatcherism we're gonna be hearing about endlessly in coming weeks is about as golden as a spray painted turd. If only her legacy could be buried with her but no, it lives on, to be lived out in the daily lives of those still suffering the consequences thanks to her and her latest incarnation at the head of the Tory party. I piss on the lot of 'em. She was truly a callous, loathsome woman who cared not one bit for those she cut adrift in a sea of misery. Why should those people pretend to care now she's dead? I'm not into revisionism or hypocrisy. I make no apologies for it.

Can you answer the question that after she stepped down and the Tory party lost the election to Tony Blair, why did Labour not reverse any of her polices on Trade Union reforms and Privatised industries?
Tony Blair gave a glowing reference to her today, and I actually take my hat off to him that he of all people realised her greatness.
She was deposed by her own party and John Major won the following election .... FFS!!!
As for the power of positive thinking .... it doesn't matter how positively you view the gun to your head, it only counts if you're controlling the trigger
And so we get to why I gave up .... a typical pointless descent into name calling and bullshit
It's not hate it's honesty my feelings do not change because she's dead,why should I pretend otherwise.... I'll put up a barricade against the torrent of bullshit we'll have to endure in the near future ..... there are two things true of the old bitch 1:she was one of the most destructive figures in British history of the last century 2:her only true ability was in the construction of her own myth
There will never be another like her ... and some of us realise how grateful we should be for that fact
Now everybody daaaaaaaaaaaaance

Made Britain great again? There is an argument to be made that the current financial crisis stems largely from the Reagan-Thatcher era that massively deregulated the financial markets, and our current housing benefit bill that everyone's so up in arms about stems from the sale of social housing, the proceeds of which were prevented from being reinvested in stock to replace it forcing tenants in to private sector properties owned by rapacious landlords. Brilliant move Thatch, just brilliant.
Anyways, I don't normally celebrate a death but she was 87 and had a good long life so will hardly feel bad eating jelly and ice cream in her honour at the street party I'm planning.

Can I come ? I'll bring champagne :twisted:

Why do you find it sooo hard to admit the nature of capitalism .... it is necessarily selfish it doesn't work otherwise

Much of what you say in here is debateable and largely a matter of opinion but this statement is simply not true. There are of course many people who believe that the person running a business is some selfish money grabbing git living a life of luxury at the expense of the poor downtrodden workers but historically this has not ALWAYS been true.
It`s like saying that all socialist states are run by dictators because it`s the nature of socialism.
Business may well benefit others, it is not its nature or purpose to do so...capital serves only one master, capital,if it benefits others it is by accident not design.
On a small scale this may often appear to be untrue ....but it is observable that it becomes more true as business' grows
