You misread my post Phil Where did I mention your family taking the p*** :manson: I was referring to people who claim disability benefits for fairly trivial conditions in order so that they can avoid getting off their arse and working I was also referring to long term unemployed who are not seeking work How you thought I was referring to your parents god only knows

Sorry but you are showing a lack of understanding of the way F1 works if you are trying to make comparisons with previous generations 1) Cars are much more reliable now than in previous eras, retirements among the big teams are a rarity these days because of the engine rules and turning down of revs and so on whereas the likes of Senna, Prost and so on would retire several times a season with mechanical failures 2) Driver aids - the cars that Hammy drive virtually run on rails with all these electronic aids and driver devices and traction control and so on not to mention massive run off areas now where previous years would have resulted in a trip into the wall So the fact that cars are so much more reliable than in the Senna and Prost era, the fact that massive run offs exist, the fact that cars are filled with technology and driver aids to keep the car on the road totally destroys any of Hamilton's achievements if you want to make a direct comparison with Senna and Prost, yes Hamilton broke some records but most of that was due to the electronic aids and the reliability of the cars due to rev limiters and 2 race engines

It is a myth that the tories cut welfare or NHS spending under Maggie and Major, both spent way above inflation amounts on welfare and NHS The one area I condemn my party is the fact that services such as cleaning were contracted out to private companies which is something Labour have continued and also it was us that bought in NHS trusts and also league tables but both have been maintained by Labour so we are not solely to blame there I believe in the NHS and the principle of the welfare state but both are unsustainable in their current form and are just drinking money and that needs to be addressed. We are not doing the NHS or the benefits system any favours by simply throwing more and more money into it most of which is being lost in a giant financial black hole so both areas need RADICAL reform as they can't survive in their present state Benefits - needs to be completely overhauled, too many people are taking the p*** and the whole system needs reform - 1) Scrap child benefits for families earning over a fixed amount £30k annual family income for arguments sake, there is no justification for wealthy families to be getting child benefit 2) No benefits whatsoever for immigrants until they have paid into the system via tax and NI for 3 years 3) Complete reform of disability benefit including all claimants both new and existing having to be examined by an independent doctor appointed by the benefits agency, too many people take the complete f***ing p*** and there are too many bent GP's out there prepared to sign sick notes to get people onto disability benefit, doctors that are found to have conspired with false claimants struck off by the GMC and automatic prison sentences for bogus claimants NHS - 1) Everyone that is paying higher rate tax (me included) should not be entitled to free NHS treatment and instead should take out private health insurance 2) Immigrants to pay for their own NHS treatment or private health insurance until they have paid into the system for 3 years 3) Automatic prison sentences for NHS trust executives in the event of a hospital in their area suffering an outbreak of fatal MRSA The savings to taxpayers with my reforms would run into billions

Yeah Ramos speaks good English and he uses English on the training ground and in dressing room, he thinks in Spanish and therefore does not want to say something that might be twisted by the media so he just uses Poyet to talk to the media but his conversational English is very good ^_^

Jimmy Page has spent years doing work with the Black Crowes so he is not completely out of touch despite his age A world tour next year seems pretty certain apparently, am in 2 minds about it, as the owner of every studio album of theirs aswell as a $h!t load of demos and bootlegs they are musical heroes of mine and would be great to see them live but on the other hand I would hate to see them make fools of themselves in terms of a big tour so I think they should just call it quits

It doesn't matter how many titles he has won in Italy or Spain if he can't speak English then he is no use Jacques Santini was very successful in France but was hopeless at Spurs as he could not speak English so could not communicate properly with the players The ability to speak good clear English should be the #1 requirement for an England manager

Kids should not have any power, the teachers and headmaster are the master and the kids should do what they are told Teachers don't have the power as far as I know to suspend or expel and nor should they it is a matter for the headmaster

It is time income tax was abolished in this country and VAT raised to 25-30% instead so that high spenders pay the most tax as opposed to high earners

The welfare state is fine in principle but it should only exist as a safety net for those on low incomes or those that are out of work, there is no money tree out there it is all taxpayers money so the welfare state should not be from cradle to grave it should be purely as a safety net for the poor and disadvantaged. The welfare state is seen by many as a way of life these days and that should not be the case, the welfare state should not be paying out child benefit for the rich, it is obscene that taxpayers money is used to provide child benefit for millionaires while impoverished pensioners are freezing to death in winter, the NHS should also be nothing more than a form of free healthcare for the poor, those over a certain income should be made to go private so that the NHS focuses entirely on providing healthcare for the poor. Cradle to the grave is fine in principle but someone has to pay for it

Fukkin hell lol thats twice agreed with you in a matter of minutes :lol: Being jewish extraction I have every reason to hate the Germans but in my case it is quite the opposite, I have been to Germany many times and have worked for a German company and find them great people, third only to the Dutch and the Finns in terms of Europeans I like, I can't be bothered holding grudges against German people because the current generation haven't killed any jews so they can't be held responsible for stuff that happened 2 or 3 generations ago

Exactly Scott The tax on fuel is like 80 odd percent :manson: It is cheaper for a lorry to get on board a ferry and fill up in France than it is for a lorry to fill up in a UK petrol station, that is fukkin ridiculous

Exactly Harrassment of motorists, arresting peace protesters, the Stephen Lawrence scandal, the f*** up over the dead Brazillian who was mistaken for a terrorist, plenty more instances of where the reputation of the police in this country is severely damaged so there is less sympathy for the police in the public than there is nurses who are universally liked in this country

And we thought the British justice system was f***ed up :manson:

Or Maybe Mourinho is the one that gets the best out of Fat Frank, love him or hate him the t*** gets 20 goals + a season at club level so maybe Jose would have got more out of him that WFJ did Capello would never get the England job, he is way way more expensive than the FA would ever think about paying, his wage demands for a club is £6 AFTER tax (£9m a year) the FA would be insane pay it There is only 1 candidate for me and that is Big Phil Scolari - huge international experience and doesn't take any $h!t

What did Hamilton do to deserve the award ? He drove the best car in the field to 4 wins, had lots of FIA assistance, beat a man that was being f***ed about by his team and choked Henman style in the last 2 races

Die Hard :wub: best xmas movie ever by a country mile

I hate cinemas anyways but this takes the p***, absolute no

Great to see a WINNER like Calzaghe get the award as opposed to a LOSER like Hamilton I was ":rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:" when Hamilton saw he was 2nd

Game effort by Hatton but completely outclassed by Mayweather
