m5 have you got the electrodes for him when the tory landslide wipes out the Magic Grandpa?

m5

I'm not bothered if the Tories win. I will manage the result. In fact if the Tories win, it will probably improve my net-worth about £250K in a few days.

I can't lose. I've told you all this before.

Boris is a numpty.

"Conservative voters are generally poorly educated and that correlates with generally lower intelligence and wisdom. Same with Brexiters"

Another "cracker from Min" Its the way he tells them!!! That did have me laughing out loud.

You do know its over old boy. The Tory's are going to walk it.

BBC should be ashamed of itself putting the £105M lottery winner in the headlines as if it is something we should all be celebrating. Frankly I find it very distasteful and vulgar and every time we do these things a little bit of humanity dies. Humanity will destroy itself, I'm pretty convinced of that, capitalism and human greed will be to blame.

You can see the ones who feel personally offended by what I say. Perhaps it is because I speak the truth. They pick up on typos because that's all they can do. ;)

Ha! Certainly the mutton is fine - often dressed as lamb though.

Wethers can be any age. Try wether mutton.

UK PMs and their inflation rates from 1964

Harold Wilson 64 -70 Annual Inflation 3.3% - 6.4%
Edward Heath 70 -74 AI 6.4% - 16.04%
Harold Wilson 74- 76 AI 16.04 - 16.54 (24.24% in 75)
Callaghan 76 - 79 AI 16.54 - 13.39
Thatcher 79 - 90 13.39 - 9.46 (17.99% in 80)
Major 90 - 97 9.46 - 3.14
Blair 97 - 07 3.14 - 4.29
Brown 07 - 10 4.29 - 4.61
Cameron 10 - 16 4.61 - 1.74

Probably have to give them a couple of years to allow for previous PMs policies to unwind.

More interesting to me is how low inflation has remained since QE. Also how relatively low wage increases are with low unemployment rate.

Hands off Scottish waters , the best by far in Britain.

Wether Lamb - not sheep! Whether or not! Caught by the spelling police again!

[mikemichael2] 26/11/2019 15:01

Hands off our cod.

A wether is a castrated sheep.

However any Degree worth its salt should give any employer the confidence that the individual holding it is 'capable' in absorbing relevant 'new' information, wether the Degree is specifically relevant or not.

Unfortunately a lot of degrees nowadays give no such confidence.

Higher Education is not just about getting familiar with the subject you study, it is about honing your skills to learn, think for yourself and be independent in mind. For whatever reason, whether Labour pushed you into industry without fully developing your minds, the result is what it is. Conservative voters are generally poorly educated and that correlates with generally lower intelligence and wisdom. Same with Brexiters.

Time and time again this has been proven by facts.

I'm sorry you find yourself in the wrong demographic. Generally the more intelligent folk find themselves accepting reality and not tabloid spin and will vote Labour or Liberal. Tories have really done nothing for you. They just brainwash the gullible, which is you.

[grahamite2] 26/11/2019 14:16

LOL Max!

But is that really any worse than the super-extreme PC seen at real universities these days (with Oxford and Cambridge some of the very worst)?

[grahamite2] 26/11/2019 14:14

The reason for continuous assessment...the official reason..is that girls dont like exams.

I'm not surprised that's the real reason but I am surprised they would openly admit it.

'Brussels to hit Britain with fishing ultimatum the day after Brexit'

Send in our sub's!!!

[stdyeddy] 26/11/2019 14:03

Or maybe they're those degrees you buy from indian universities?

[stdyeddy] 26/11/2019 14:00

They're a waste of time for you sentimentrules because you can't read or write properly.

I agree that 'times have changed' in the 'real' outlook for many Graduates after a 1st Degree. For so many that only parks you on another path toward some other professional qualification. However any Degree worth its salt should give any employer the confidence that the individual holding it is 'capable' in absorbing relevant 'new' information, wether the Degree is specifically relevant or not.
