The guy doing the voiceover on their version of come dine with me needs an award and Jimmy carr is a genius!  :clap:

[john656]

im comming around to Jimmy.... love his laugh. Do you watch him on the big fat quiz of the year?

[MuddyDiscoveryJay]

Hell yeah, his live solo stuff is good too. Nearly time for them to be able to swear about eachother. WOOHOO!

[Mangaroth]

I refused to vote for any of the current parties/candidates as i do not agree with any of their current policies.. does this make me a bad person.. I dont think so.

cheers all.. Jay

From what i gather in Australia you have to vote or you pay a fine!

They do however have a "none of the above" above for if you dont like any of them!

There was a "none of the above" option on our ballot paper today too - I was soooo tempted  :D

[Saffy]

instead of moaning about the politicians, how about you standing for election ?

list your 5 top policies below...heres mine

1. economy. to tackle the deficiet i'd set certian tax rises to reduce it such as VAT upto 20% 2p/ltr on fuel 1p extra on income tax. a website set up displaying the deficiet and the money raised by the extra taxes, updated daily to show it coming down, this policy would run until the deficeit is reduced to managable levels and then the extra taxes reduced to 2009 levels

2. spending cuts. NHS and education budgets to remain unchanged, defence budget reduced to run specific task forces for certain situations, scrap trident do a deal with the yanks to let us "borrow" a nuke :) all MP's to reduce wages to 40k/yr untill defeciet is reduced with no expenses MP's local office to be run in local councill offices

3.crime. life to mean life, homeowners right to defend their property, burglers have no rights, the police get guns

4. europe. we trade with europe nothing else

5. immagration, doors closed, sorry, try again next year

Coming from a country of [person of questionable parentage] that last one is kinda funny ;)

[J B]

its just to keep population at around 60mil, if we fall below that mark than a points based worldwide immagration policy would ensue to boost numbers back up to the 60million mark, i just dont think we have the land mass to cope with any more

[V8MoneyPit]

And I think it's fair to say that the legal immigrants are not really the problem. It's the illegal ones and they will keep coming regardless of whether you close the door to the legal ones. Unfortunately, legislation of this type only penalises the people who operate lawfully. It can also increase illegal activity because some of the people who previously would have come in legally would then try to get here illegally.

Sound familiar? Changing byway status to stop illegal use of land........

Drove to the polling booth in a American 4x4 which does 17mpg whilst listening to God Save  the Queen by the Sex pistols.....ha ha... :lol: :lol:

[Terranger]

I've never voted in my life. So, this time I did.
What a wasted effort, as the media directed all the sheep towards the Tories.
What's the point in all the other parties..., they'll never get in, because it always has been, and always will be the Conservatives or Labour who take power, which is why i've never bothered to vote.
We might as well be like the Americans, and just have a two party system.
All our politians do is feather their own nest, while the great unwashed get humped for taxes, and the rich sit smugly back in luxury.
I'll never vote again.., cos it makes no difference.

Abstinence makes my heart grow fonder.
