Will now do iPlayer on eps missed.

You've only missed one episode (yesterday's), but I think the whole series was placed on IPlayer before the BBC broadcasts started.

This week's episodes are being repeated tomorrow night too...

As I said before, and I'll say it yet again because I liked it. Tony Benn's theory was that you put forward your ideas and the voters either agree or reject. It appears that they are going to reject it, so the Tories will probably be in power again.

I wouldn't want to take power beholden to a bunch of nationalists who not only will be voting against us now, but whose representatives also voted against us in '79 thus facilitating several years of Thatcherism.

 I'm looking forward to EC spotting on The Game. 

EC is on the game?

 

So that's what he meant by his undercover activities!

Just done iPlayer catch-up. Loved the first one too, especially "the sample" accident.

Missed Cameron but know the form, Bullingdon ivory towered idiot who doesn't know what football team he's supposed to support,  "the mess the last lot left", long term plan, strong recovery.  As if!

 

Yeah yeah, same old same old big lie repeated often enough and with the aid of right wing non-dom, tax avoiding media barons - becomes the truth. 

 

Ed did a great job against biased questioners.  Ed looking like a left winger of principle.  Bullingdon Dave just looking after himself and his elitist monied mates.

The SNP are a different animal to that of the party of 79.  The SNP are at least, superficially left wing and need to appear left wing to continue being supported by Scottish voters.

 

How much class warfare can the country take?  The Tory appeal is a barefaced appeal to the affluent that they will get free money stolen from the most disadvantaged. 

 

If the SNP bring down a Labour government on some contrived pretext, so be it, but that's got to better than more neo-liberal failure and the Bullingdon Club looking after the 1% for the next five years.

Everyone likes to harp on about how much more per head Scotland GETS, but has this ever been compared to how much Scotland GIVES to the general coffers? I don't know how much it is, but good or bad, wouldn't this give a better, more rounded, picture? Because not all of the money that Scotland has to use was generated by the non-Scottish part of the UK.

 

Also, we have this Scotland per head v England per head, but lets break it down further....is the per head allocation of money evenly distributed across all smaller areas of the country?

more to come out I think, reading between the lines it looks like a complete setup 

 

 

.

Catherine Shuttleworth appeared as part of an audience billed as undecided voters - but it has been claimed she is an enthusiastic Tory who even gave George Osborne a thumbs up afterwards.

Slightly reluctantly expresses an opinion, having clearly been on 'ignore' and 'persona non gratia' from most of the prolific posters on Gaga for the past few months!

I'm socialist through and through.....occasionally half wonder why: single professional woman; reasonably decent salary; never drawn on a single penny from the state unless you count that I've been to the docs half a dozen times in my life; looked after both my parents at home in their ill health/death : extremely lucky enough to have had a half decent education.....Bottom line: it's not about me; it's about the most vulnerable, the rest of us will survive!

Who the feck is Rosa? (God forbid me, said in the style of RCB!) I'm banking on a less than convincing victory now that boom voice, slap head is

gone and we've got a mixed race Tory...the Toffs won't like that!

I have therefore decided to perform a dirty protest in the polling booth. It will included a pre voting session kneading a bowl of blue cheese and anchovies.

 

 

Yes, I'm a hardcore voter.

 

 

But aren't secret agents supposed to keep a low profile EC

On the bus ride to the game I noticed billboards festooned with Tory sponsored anti-SNP posters. One wonders if they think the 'Boro is in Scotland.

 

Outside the stadium we were treated to a mobile UKIP billboard. They must think that our followers are knuckle dragging Neanderthals rather than the middle class champagne socialists we claim to be.
