I ❤ JustinBieber

4Tune were dire Kandy Rain were unlucky, not the worst group there has been by any means and I thought their version of Addicted To Love was pretty good, the whole thing about their costumes was a lot of fuss about nothing

Stan by an absolute country mile, I find it quite unbelieveable that this question is even being asked :mellow: Stan is one of the iconic tracks of the last 10 years or so, never dates, LTWYL is a decent song but it just doesn't compare. It is like asking which Beatles track ? Hey Jude or Yellow Submarine

What an awful line up, worst X Factor since Steve Brookstein won :manson:

I have bolded the ones I am comfortable with There are loony cases almost every single day in the media and not just the Daily Mail so whatever clauses there are that loony cases are bought need closing, they clog up the system with rubbish meaning genuine reasonable cases can take years, it is in everyone's interest to reform the HRA minus the loopy stuff

If it means cases like this and prisoner's food etc don't waste valuable money and court time yes Opting out of the non essential parts of the HRA will not mean detention without trial, torture, genocide but it will mean common sense and people having to take responsibility for their own actions again

We should opt out of the HRA except for chapters related to torture and a fair trial, we should tell the EU either opt us out of certain areas of the HRA or we will pull out of the HRA altogether.

You do raise a valid point there, really need to see the outcome of the case The bit about lazy and drunk was a bit of an assumption as I got the impression that this case was all because he wasn't trying hard enough, having never been to uni I have not experienced this supervised stuff, thought it was just some guy that thought he could party his way through 3 years and then wanted to blame someone other than himself when it went pear shaped, I am not referring to all students as lazy and drunken, ones I know personally are very hard working.

The fact he is applying at all shows the retardness of the HRA No reasonable person has any objection to an act that gives people a fair trial and free from torture I have no objection to that at all but the HRA should not be a safety net for those that can't take responsibility for their own actions The country is obsessed with "blame", in his mind he clearly feels he is not at fault for not trying hard at uni and instead it is down to his lecturers for not ensuring he does the work, that blame culture and the culture that someone else is at fault shows that the HRA badly needs updating or scrapping I hope the c**t not only loses this ridiculous action but is bankrupted too by legal costs

Exactly it sends out a message, spend your uni years drinking and being lazy instead of studying, blame the tutor instead of yourself and then take court action under the human rights act to get the grade you don't deserve :rolleyes: Supervision ? WTF ? he isn't 5 :rolleyes:

Lazy, drunken student sues over bad grades :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I mean seriously WTF ? a guy spends too much time drinking and not enough time studying and then takes court action under the Human Rights Act to be given a 2:1 ? further example that this retarded act should be scrapped http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11376021 A Belfast graduate has taken his university to court after they awarded him a 2:2 degree. Andrew Croskery, from County Down, applied for a judicial review of the grade he received from Queen's University in Belfast. Mr Croskery claimed if he had received better supervision he would have obtained a 2:1, the High Court was told on Monday. A lawyer for QUB said the court was not the place to resolve the matter. Mr Croskery graduated in June with a degree in electrical engineering. His barrister claimed he had been denied a right to appeal against his classification because he had already graduated from Queen's in the summer. Tony McGleenan argued that the university's stance was not compliant with his client's human rights. "It is obviously an important case for the applicant. He avers his employment prospects have been jeopardised... in this competitive job market," he said. "It's also clearly an important case for the university." The court heard how a Board of Visitors at Queen's, whose members include two judges, considers student appeals and complaints. Nicholas Hanna QC, for Queen's, argued that the judicial review application should be dismissed as the court was not the proper forum for the challenge. "The jurisdictional issue is so clear that it is unarguable and therefore, I submit, leave should be refused," he said. The judge, Mr Justice Treacy, adjourned the case and will determine if the legal challenge can go ahead next month.

I am not against the idea of closing tax loopholes in principle, of course the billionaires etc should pay their way but go after them too hard could also be counter productive I would do something like a 60% tax on bonuses for those earning over x amount of money as they don't need bonuses really

Reform of the tax system is going to take some 800,000 of the lowest paid out of the tax system altogether which would presumably include many public sector workers though

Don't remember her, shows how little impact she made on me

A dustman or a road sweeper is easily replaceable a good heart surgeon or someone like Alan Sugar is less replaceable

Lord Young was asked back at the start of the summer to produce a report on reforming Britain’s Health and Safety legislation. The proposed changes include: People who perform “good Samaritan” acts which, through no fault of their own, cause others a personal injury should no longer be subject to law suits. Members of emergency services, including part-time police officers, should not be able to be sued when they have risked life and limb to save others. Teachers should no longer have to fill in huge numbers of “risk assessment” forms before taking pupils on trips. A simple consent form, signed by parents, should be all that is needed. Schools should not be liable for injuries suffered by children on trips or when playing sports – except where there has been “reckless disregard”. Firework displays, street parties and concerts should not be able to be banned by local councils or officials on health and safety grounds. Small shops, offices and other “low-risk” workplaces should no longer face complex paperwork to meet risk-assessment and other health and safety criteria. Lawyers who charge “success fees” in “no win, no fee” agreements should no longer be able to recover these fees from defendants. Fantastic work by the government, doesn't go quite far enough but elf n safety is a cancer on our society as is the compensation culture and it is great they are being clamped down on

I have no objection to clamping down on tax avoidance and tax loopholes as long as it is done in a way that does not result in Britain's top business leaders and top brains and top sports people leaving the county

I don't know quite what you were expecting today tbh he was hardly going to announce the end of the coalition Clegg is a good salesman, am sure I would buy a used car from him, so I am sure that he will be there for several years as leader, we will all have to get used to the coalition as it is not going anywhere, it would take something incredible to happen to break the coalition so it is here to stay for the lifetime of this parliament.

Emily was a vile individual, glad she left the series Great work Sabrina look forward to the next updates

Didn't like Chico, entertaining but paved the way for the likes of Jedward Cassie was quite average

Didn't like him at all, had a very wimpish singing voice and was also not a particularly nice guy cheating on his gf with all and sundry

4 successive Louis acts, my he is popular lol Another group that made no impact on me whatsover though

Don't remember Beverley :o Was never a fan of Girlband or Chenai

oh agree totally, X Factor is about "entertainment" not talent and the contestants are just pawns in Cowell's little games X Factor for me will never hold a candle to something like Rock Star INXS or even Fame Academy as that had originality and people creating their own material, X Factor is just a pub karaoke contest on live tv

Oh Danyl was shocking in the series itself, his audition was simply awesome but he was one of the worst live finalists that I have ever seen, out of tune 95% of the song and then saves his bacon by a hollywood moment, some of his live show performances were worse than Jedward's IMHO

I do have opinions ;) I have been a lone voice almost in the non Cher bummage on here for instance X Factor is just karaoke really, none of them on there truly deserve a long lasting musical career that I have heard this year X Factor doesn't compare with some of the American stuff, this for me is the single greatest reality tv performance ever
