  1. the National insurance was/ is a huge scam.The single childless worker pays most into this scam.The mandarins also cleverly wrote it to make you believe you pay less into it than you actually do..'The 'employers contribution'..would have worked for the first year of the scam..After this all employers would take this 'contribution' into account when working out the salary for any.every job..He would also show this 'contribution' to the trade unions seeking higher wages..
    I was born 1944 and had to pay 44 years of national insurance..Most of the time I was an employee but had to pay some further years voluntarily to qualify for full sate pension..The courts of Europe decided that my pension is a government benefit.
    Yes thank you Tony Blair the working mans friend,great that he was the leader of the labour party,the party of the shirking man,sorry working man

  2. Hmmm.  Not so sure about that one.  Got to the end of Season 2, parked it since then, might have to revisit.
     
    Just went through both seasons of The Frankenstein Chronicles starring Sean Bean (several references to the 95th Rifles it being set in same time period although Sean isn't Major Sharpe in this one).  Very well done series IMO, good acting, good storyline and vey good sets.
    Frankenstein Chronicles,very good,Last Ship,managed 2 episodes of season 1,gave up then

    Easy for you to say. Your country is not blockaded by armed troops, medicine is not rationed nor is food or water.
    But it might be if we had Hamas running it,constantly attacked our neighbours and fired rockets into their country on a daily basis. Also other Muslim countrys blockade them as they are not wanted there either

  6. Watched 1st episode of  "Press" last night:- https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7547518/?ref_=nv_sr_1
     
    Press is set in the world of newspapers - its past riven by hacking scandals, its present at the mercy of the digital age and the 24 hour news cycle, its future uncertain.
     
    Looks good.  :thumbsup:

  8. You have been reading the wrong newspapers. Kinnock was originally anti-EU, but by the time he was elected Labour leader he had changed his position. In fact one of his first moves after becoming leader was to re-align the party's stance on the EU following Michael Foot's opposition to it.
    He was later appointed as one of the UK's European Commissioners by John Major's Conservative Government. As someone with 25 years experience as an MP, with 9 as leader of a major political party, he would appear to have been an excellent choice. Do you have a problem with that?
    Yes,because its twisting the facts

  9. ...and that must be true because you read it in the Telegraph/Express/Mail (maybe not as it's banned in Thailand, possibly the only sensible decision the Junta's made)/Sun...
    If its not a gravy train why do they have a dept store only they can shop in cut price? And they bribe those that are anti EU by giving them jobs with fabulous saleries,think Neil Kinnock and his family earn millions ,were dead against the EUtill the gravy trsin stopped at their station and let them on
