Welcome back F1 - a fine comeback!

 

They sound like Thatcher's children to me..........?

 

you often sound like "Thatcher's child" to me Alcazar

 

You could ask him what "thing" he help sell for the Swedish bank he did some work for since banks don't "make" things. I don't have problem with his business, he's a self made man and I have nothing against private enterprise and indeed it is something to be applauded. But he doesn't half come out with some bollox!

 

Really? She was far to late to have been my mentor.

I DO remember a student protest in Brum in 1970/1 carrying a banner which read, Margaret Thatcher: milk snatcher!

 

I remember school milk and biscuits with great fondness.

There you go , Germany will have to cancel all its owed and more for the privilege of keeping the euro dream alive

 

Looks like uk plc may have to stump up some support

 

Hardly a surprise, given how good you are at slogans

 

Hodgy, is that actually true or a sort of left wing myth as bad as the sort of right wing myth you accuse Cameron and Osborne of perpetrating? (I don't deny they do btw)

Though mainly red and depending on where you define 'the North' I see quite a few blue seats, enough to make the difference between having a

If we look at London there is plenty of red.

yes, I think that map gives a slightly distorted view - because the way it is represented

and yes, you are right London has always provided Labour with a large % of seats

London has lots of constituencies, but is obviously most populous, and the majority (outside RBKC and Westminster) tend to be Labour

I will see if I can find the data

 

this give a better view



and yes lots of blue (they did do well after all)

but most are in very (large) rural areas, so actually representing far fewer that the colouring suggests -- notice all the large centre of population/industry are Red

 

Cornwall is all blue - I still find that amusing.

 

"Martin, Martin, show us your colour?"

"What do we want? "
"Martin out!"
"When do we want it?"
"Now! Now! Now!"

That'll do for starters.

To be fair Greece could do with a miracle
