Think he'd do a good job under the restrictions and budget.

I thought so too.

Not a track back, back tracker...Identified already as a slacker by the King.

It's really cool how balanced and thoughtful responses are on here...A pleasure to read.

Eastwood needs to think about his legacy has knocked out some shit recently.

Thought it was chocolate box tosh.

http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2013-05-01/non-muslims-carried-out-more-90-all-terrorist-attacks-us-soil 'The START Global Terrorism Database spans from 1970 through 2012 (and will be updated from year-to-year), and – as of this writing – includes 104,000 terrorist incidents. As such, it is the most comprehensive open-source database open to the public. We counted up the number of terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims. We excluded attacks by groups which are obviously not Muslims, such as the Ku Klux Klan, Medellin Drug Cartel, Irish Republican Army, Anti-Castro Group, Mormon extremists, Vietnamese Organization to Exterminate Communists and Restore the Nation, Jewish Defense League, May 19 Communist Order, Chicano Liberation Front, Jewish Armed Resistance, American Indian Movement, Gay Liberation Front, Aryan Nation, Jewish Action Movement, National Front for the Liberation of Cuba, or Fourth Reich Skinheads. We counted attacks by Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Black American Moslems, or anyone who even remotely sounded Muslim … for example anyone from Palestine, Lebanon or any other Arab or Muslim country, or any name including anything sounding remotely Arabic or Indonesian (like “Al” anything or “Jamaat” anything). If we weren’t sure what the person’s affiliation was, we looked up the name of the group to determine whether it could in any way be connected to Muslims. Based on our review of the approximately 2,400 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil contained within the START database, we determined that approximately 60 were carried out by Muslims. In other words, approximately 2.5% of all terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1970 and 2012 were carried out by Muslims.* This is a tiny proportion of all attacks.'

The article shows the trend of the current shadow cabinet all being well off....Millionaires and some multi-millionaires. Upper end public servants and EU types also get massive pensions and will be millionaires anyway over time (that isn't so much money these days). The general theme is that so much of the left these days is public school, top university and from wealthy backgrounds and most have never had a real job (some lawyering is as far as most go). I threw the link in cause OJ it seems wants to build a new kind of Labour Party a little lefter than the current one (riddled with Blairites and Austerity apologists). I guess he as Gloom says is looking for a kind of Old Labour resurgence. I think this is cause he is too ensconed with the media and political intelligensia...Cause it's quite clear from recent history that something even a little lefter of New Labour can't win. Milliband himself is a multi-millionaire (probably why he can't eat a bacon sarnie). I know what you're saying and the post power directorships will come but a lot of them are really rich already with property portfolios and so on. It also begs the question of why 'socialists' chase money so hard when they leave? Is it that the Labour party is now diconnected from its power base or has the power base become atomised? High profile avatars like OJ and Brand who get a lot of media play (really a lot) are something else.

I'll have a think.

I know it just sounds ridiculous.

Mmmm...And you recently got sick after a visit with Govt types.

"In all of this, one theme was unmissable: whatever happened to Ben Elton, the Tory-bashing, mockney-spouting, stand-up radical who helped transform British comedy in the Eighties? Most of the people who today run, and for that matter, write about, television grew up thinking of Ben as a prime adornment of the anti-Thatch resistance, and believed that his routines would have the masses laughing their way out of their chains. When it turned out that Elton wasn’t quite as seditious as the comrades had hoped, and, by his own admission, was slightly bewildered to find himself being cast as any kind of political figurehead, his reputation in right-on circles began to wither. The process was accelerated by the discovery that he came from a well-to-do family, the son of a prominent physicist, had been educated at a top Surrey grammar school, and that his street punk London accent had been adopted in the hope that comedy circuit audiences would find it funnier."

I can only think this analysis is due to the fact you've been in the gym too much.

These books are aimed at the Southern middle class intelligensia and a bridge to a media career spouting claptrap about 'socialism'. Class enemy. Also it's the worse kind of writing 'factoid dumptruck'.

Gawd.

What's his game then?

Noticed Brand had slunk back to his luxury flat. "There's been a backlash against me"...

Jesus! I'm boxed in here already!

They have become over cuddly. It's like happenned to men over the last two decades.

Every club outside the top 3 are selling clubs and that inc Arsenal.

I've noticed this wretch Owen Jones going after uKIP a lot lately from the safety of his Guardian column.

Run out of money then sucked into the EU black hole and run from a cafe in Brussels.

Shit. Tick.
