You are getting very nasty David, perhaps you should step ouside for a breath of sea air?.
I see Noddy has not replied yet, perhaps he has gone for a pint with Big Ears. I suspect the real reason however is that his "disability" does not stop him working and he is too ashamed to admit it.
Now, i really must get on with my Sunday. It's a precious day off for me given i work so hard.
Now that's my final word on the subject. Enjoy your sea air old boy!!

"You are getting very nasty David"
True, very true, Cuntybollocks.
A bit like people who provide work advice to those on disability without having any idea what their disability is. Eh?
Still can't answer my underlying point as to how stupid it is to provide work advice to people without knowing a single thing about their disability.
No wonder it is your last word. !laugh! !laugh! !laugh!

As long as you can do it on the Internet, why do I have the feeling that in real life you're a craven little nobody.

I thought that's what I said: "income reduced" ie a wage cut.

It's not really a battle since once side has no weaponry. What would you suggest we (non-bankers) do?

Well there are different types of "battle", moral, spiritual battle, political battle, the battle involving violence.
THe comments of the Archbishop and Canterbury and many bishops suggests the Tories are losing the spiritual battle.
The comment that Ed Miliband made to Cameron in Parliament - "is there anything you can organise in a brewery?" and the way that has stuck in people's memory suggests that the Tories are in the process of losing the political battle.
If they can't get a majority in 2010 when the country was in the worst recession in living memory and with the most unpopular PM for a long time, I can't see Cameron and the Tories winning on the back of no growth, an increasing deficit, an increasing debt and the loss of the triple A credit rating.
As for the physical battle, the poll tax riots show that Tories have no stomach for a fight. Hopefully, the loss of the moral, spiritual battle and the political battle will be sufficient.

You are absolutely right - the Tories lost the last election against an incredibly unpopular PM so they have no hope of winning in 2015. Add all this "I agree with Nick" cobblers and remember the Lib Dems ended up with fewer seats than in 2005.
The trouble is if Ed Miliband is the answer then we are asking the wrong question.

I'm no huge supporter, but Miliband seems to be the best of a bad bunch to me.
With David Cameron we have had nearly 3 years of car crash government. We have already had 3 car crashes this week!
1. When three weeks before the bedroom tax/spare bedroom subsidy (title depends on your political views) comes in, the government announces exemptions to the rules e.g. soldiers who live with their parents and leave a spare room whilst on deployment elsewhere and foster carers who might have a spare bedroom whilst awaiting placement.
2. Osborne announces on the Andrew Marr show yesterday that the flat rate pension is being brought in in April 2016. So when the measure was introduced in 2011 it was going to be April 2016. THen in 2012 he announced it was postponed to April 2017 because it would take time to implement. ANd yesterday completely out of the blue he announces it's back to 2016. These are peoples' lives the Tories are buggering up given that currently you only need 30 years NI contributions to get a full pension but you will need 35 years to get the flat rate pension.
3 After saying he would implement Leveson in full as long as it wasn't bonkers, no one has said it was bonkers but Cameron still reneges on his promise and comes up with a fudge to get off the hook because he knew he was going to get trounced in the H of C vote today otherwise.
Cleggie? I don't think so. After completely doing an about turn on the economy when he sniffed a Cabinet position, who can trust the Lib Dems ever again?
Nigel Farage? Do me a favour. I was never convinced by the argument that it is all Jonny Foreigners' and the EU's fault.
Which leaves Miliband and the Labour party. Best of a bad bunch, but I have no great hopes. Just that the Labour party if elected don't make the monumental cock-ups that the TOries have.
