You want to start a debate? Fine by me
Explain to me how much money has been 'wasted' on the Olympics?

[Pete]

I think that would make a great thread Jon rather than have it tacked onto this thread. Why not start a new thread along the lines of "Is there any real value in the Olympic Games"

I hate to be pedantic Pete - but that should be eider down!!!

Todays generation of young people are already lost because of Labours policys, I see them everyday, "You owe me a living."
My policy? Feck off

[Pete]

A bit of an over-simplification I feel.

Or are our employment officials that thick, a million unemployed youngsters fooled them all.

[Pete]

Thanks to all who helped. Much appreciated.

PS Youth unemployment up again today - well over a million now.

I was talking to a councilor friend who was at the meeting and apparently the young lad that organised the petition was actually at the meeting only to be something like it wasn't relevant or submitted incorrectly - don't quote me as I know nothing about council procedure.

16,000 people had signed that petition! And it counted for nothing to the arrogant Conservative councilors...

Makes my blood boil!

Perdantic arse oles.  Enough probs with our teenagers drug taking/boozing getting them off the streets may save some from this.

Pete, regarding your comment about me attacking Labour, I could say the same about you and the Tories. How many people signed anti war or anti road pricing petitions, amongst others, simply for the Labour Govt to ignore them.

[Pete]

Mea culpa! 

[Pete]

Just to make things perfectly clear Kev, if it had been Labour controlled and they did what the Cons did I would've said exactly the same thing.

Also, as I stated on there forums during the weekend, I am not a Labour supporter. When Blair took us to war my allegiance, such as it was, stopped.

George Galloway for PM!

[k4blades]

Thats fine, I just wanted to introduce the pot to kettle,  but if we all agreed on everything, then the world would be much duller.

George Galloway for celebrity big brother!

[Pete]

>> George Galloway for celebrity big brother!

Too late - he's been there, done that...
