Regional Assemblies was Labour's answer but nobody wanted them. I think the Tories want to stop Scots MPs from voting on devolved matters. God knows what the Lib Dems want, I think they were for RAs too.

hmm, on Channel 4 today, they said one of the biggest bills in the economy is Pensions and Benefits for the Elderly, apparantley that costs significantly more than unemployment benefit costs us, just curious if this is accurate?

just out of curiosity,

i wonder what would happen if for example say 5 million greeks,3 million portugeuse,4 million spanish and 2 million irish decided to up and move to say gernany,france and britain if the economies totally went under,

i'm not saying they would or that their economies are that bad,but just as an example i wonder if it could be possible and what the eurozone would think about it,like a huge migration of people within europe

It wouldn't be unthinkable. They may be considered as one of the poorer countries in the EU now and that means that there is the possibility of mass migration out of Greece. Would have thought that Britain (as usual) would be their prefered destination.

They need to have a job lined up though, they can't just migrate, so it wouldn't happen.

so its only free movement within the EU if you have a job,

i didn't realise that

im just curious what people make of this:

Shes a catholic. It says in the bible that homosexuality is forbidden. I don't no what goes through these people's heads but its people with her beliefs that need curing.....

EDIT: Theres probably Catholics in the Labour and LibDem party but just hold back their views. Also if the BNP a smaller party had said anything as despicable as this they would have been in the paper for months! Same with the bigot scandal...

Two UK soldiers died in Afghanistan. Allow me to be the one to be crass and wonder if that will effect the election.

anymore than all the other soldiers who died?
