I agree that some public spending cuts are necessary
However, the way that the deficit is being reduced by harming the poorest in society is both unnecessary and unfair, and could be handled in an entirely different manner. For example, allowing public schools to have 'charitable' status means that we lose out on approximately £130 million in taxes per year.

The £20-40 million figure I gave was for policing and security alone. I'm fairly sure lost productivity on the bank holiday and the preceeding weekend will inflate the sum much, much higher. Along with all the clever people's insistence on taking three days holiday afterwards.

Throe money at a problem. When questioned in the commons why the NHS was failing in an area, or scholls were failing children their response was, "Well we've increase investment by £Xbn".

Brilliant, but if those billions made no difference to the lavels of care etc availible then they were wasted. Money is not the answer, efficiecny, quality and itleeligent running of services is the answer, this will never happed whilst budgets continue to rise.

But the Labour governemnt propped up growth with borrowing during a time of global growth when the country should have been saving (Not selling all of our gold at a historically low price).

Can you get Liam up to or above the Adebola Standard before the end of the season?

I think he surpassed Dele
about 6 months ago, as did my dog - which is dead

Is who a Sunderland fan?
I am, but I'm not sure John Taylor is. Probably Villa

You, I mean.
As you may well be aware, I'm a Liverpool fan, but I'll hold my hands up ad admit, that wasn't a penalty.

Nope
I'm not even sure it was a foul TBH. Doesn't matter though, we would have still got beat and will also get tonked off Man City next

It was a foul, I'm sure of that
And I don't blame the linesman for giving it, it was close.

Suarez' goal was ludicrous
I damn near texted you to say so. Lucky escape there
