  1. Thanks, I wish I had been wrong, the Lib Dems were routed and look what happened as a result. The way forward now, if they all have the courage to put aside their differences is for an agreement between Lab/Green/P Cymru and, dare I say it, the Lib-Dems, to select only one candidate between them to represent left of centre parties.
  2. How wide is your world view Myriad? There was a WORLD recession, mainly originating in the USA by irresponsible lending from banks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and institutions gambling recklessly like Lehman Bros. For more info check out http://www.economist.com/news/schoolsbrief/21584534-effects-financial-crisis-are-still-being-felt-five-years-article Margaret Thatcher said she didn't believe in society and did her best to destroy it. This changed the political landscape irrevocably, enter Tony Blair and New Labour and the introduction of the Market into the NHS.The Tory /LibDem govt, continued that job. Police budgets slashed, Social Services slashed, libraries closed, NHS services put out further to tender (often with in-house teams banned from putting in tenders. An explosion in food banks accross the country. Clegg has propped up the Tories, without his support none of this would have happened. Five years ago it was all, " I agree with Nick", this time round the electorate will not be so gullible and the Lib Dems will be routed.
  3. Clegg is a cynical, deceitful career politician. His actions at the last election and since then have probably done more to put people off politics than anyone else. I don't know Coppard but he sound. as if he has his heart in the right place. He is best placed to give Clegg in particular and politicians in general a black eye. They need to see you can't keep trying to pull the wool over people's eyes and taking them for granted. The Lib-Dems have propped up the Tories for 5 years in government. The Tories are ok, if you plan never to be ill, lose your job, rely on public services, the Police, Fire, NHS, local schools and you don't believe in Society. A defeat for Clegg would be defeat for all those toads who take the electorate for granted. Effectively, a vote for the Lib-Dems is a vote for the Tories. Fine if that is what you want. If you don't, don't vote Lib-Dem.
  4. Voting Lib-Dem is " Giving Labour a Brain" ? More like voting to give the public a complete turn off from politics! Milliband is far more principled than Clegg and Cameron.

  6. Just seen this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Limited-Edition-89-100-plate-of-the-iconic-Tinsley-Cooling-Towers-on-the-M1-/111548304756?roken=cUgayN
  7. Wow, seen this on ebay and it reminds me of the night we were there when the towers came down. I can't believe it has already been 5 years! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111217858694?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  8. ...........please? I am looking for a 40x50cm frame with an A3 aperture. Thanks.
  9. Just heard from the Police, again, who have been very impressive. They've been working with the Council to cover the 'gap' at 3 am when the Council staff knocked off and the noise went up. They are doing this at the weekend and have agreed with the Council today to continue this throughout the summer! They deserve praise for being good at communicating and for trying to solve the problem!

  11. Just to let you all know, I have also had a response from the Council, one from a previous author at Darnall SNT and I've just had a note from my MP who has asked me to keep him posted. Better co-ordinated action appears to be on the cards.
