  1. Ludicrous to blame anyone for a defect in the bridge - these things happen.

    What we can criticise is the (apparent) lack of planning for such an eventuality to occur. Given the importance of the route you'd have thought there would be a contingency plan in place that just needs dusted down when this happens.

    Agreements with ferry operators, bespoke train and bus time tabling on trains, removal of some light controlled junctions etc. loads could be done automatically but doesn't seem to be

  2. No reports on the number of deaths as yet. How surprising.

    More surprising was the the US claimed to have bombed all the refineries in 2014. Either they are not very good or the UK is bombing targets that have already been hit.

    Who from the U.S. claimed that?

  3. Can anyone tell me what Cameron thinks we can achieve by adding the UK to the list of countries dropping bombs over there? I fail to see how us adding a few more will make any positive difference that the large number of bombs already being dropped hasn't already made. It makes no sense to me at all that the UK is joining in with that aspect of things.

    See if you can dig out what Paddy Ashdown said about it yesterday. He can hardly be accused of being a Tory but put his case forward for being in favour of the strikes.

  4. Absolutely ashamed this morning. At the Government playing with innocent lives and making our lives less safe, at the opposition's focus on their internal squabbles, but most of all at the general populace - exemplified on here - treating the whole shambles as some kind of point scoring exercise.

    The whole world is less safe this morning.

    Wasn't just the government, politicians on all sides. In fact as far as I can see of all the parties who voted and had more than one MP doing so, the SNP is the only party who didn't have any sort of opposing view within their ranks. With so many of them this strikes me as decidedly odd. You can tell me all you like that none of them were convinced by the argument etc but not one of them thought differently???

  5. No civilians will be killed.....making more people into terrorists as happened in iraq Libya n Afghanistan....idiots like you should volunteer for red cross or medicin sans frontiers in such war zones that youve encouraged to see what its like sewing up maimed n limbless children so right wing shareholders get richer......

    So anyone with an opposing view to you on this doesn't just have an opposing view, they are wrong on their held belief and you are right ?

  6. Just listening to this bollox.

    f**k me, shout AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Shout NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    WTF. 2015.

    What should they be doing? Using voting buttons like a game show audience ?

    It's tradition and convention for them to do it this way in the House of Commons. Quite why you would have any issue with it is beyond me. What harm does it do?

  7. Tory mps clapping (remember when that was bad when another party did it) Labour mp Hilary Benn,daddy would be so proud

    Not just Tory MP's

    You could see the SNP MP's hopping up and down on their benches protesting about the unfairness of them previously being rebuked for clapping. :)

  8. Not from where I am sitting it isn't. It will have been debated behind closed doors as a group, a vote will have taken place, the party will then vote accordingly.

    It's not that difficult.

    So they are being whipped then?

  9. It's you that looks foolish, will a :rolleyes: re-inforce my point?

    Backing Chelsea at 5/1 only has 2 outcomes, they win or they don't.

    But odds don't work like that. If you have a price of 5/1 you need to gauge the value of that by what odds are available on all the other runners.

    You know that though.
