Valid, relevant tweet from Bette Midler tonight 
Bette Midler @BetteMidler 2h2 hours ago
The Oscars are today! You know, the awards show where Leonardo DiCaprio is "overdue" but black people can "wait till next year."

I get up at 4:45AM every morning and I am sitting at my desk at 6:45AM. Although I am entitled to a break I invariably eat my lunch at my desk and leave off at 4:45 - 05:00PM
You appear to be somewhat of a big girl's blouse FML
Why are you so backward, KIO? It's now common knowledge that the most recent studies have shown 6 hour workdays are by far the most productive...

They'd probably still strike in France if asked to do 6 hr days.
Nonsense, most of them have 6-8 hour days..................................does that include their 5-7 hours lunch?
Bah!

Holy mother of mercy!
I presume these are single fares? Two trains leaving 11 (eleven) minutes apart and the difference is over £80
To put it into perspective, I've got a return flight from Stansted to Ljubljana in May for just £3 more - (£111) and that includes baggage in the hold, which I don't normally bother with but have to on this occasion

This is just so wrong on so many counts - not least of which is the gormless cretin reads and "comments" in the Daily ****ing Mail
I'm assuming it's genuine ( but is anything they publish genuine)

Labour are in serious trouble if they still can't convince voters that they are good economically, even in light of findings like this:
Labour invariably borrows less than the Conservatives. The data always shows that.
And second, Labour has always repaid debt more often than the Conservatives, and has always repaid more debt, on average.
The trend does not vary however you do the data.
Or, to put it another way, the Conservatives are the party of high UK borrowing and low debt repayment contrary to all popular belief, including that of most radio presenters.

I'm not sure I believe those figures Comrade JK. If they are really true why is it that Labour have not publisized them and flogged the tories with them? Their campaign was a shower, with no direction and little substance. I'm not saying they are definitely wrong, it's just why on earth would any party meekly surrender as they did if there was truth in those numbers?
Bah!
Bah!

You've basically answered it yourself, Herr General; Labour's performance as an opposition is inept.
Labour's historical performance in terms of managing the country's debt, however, is not so inept.
Why do you not believe figures from Parliament's Research Briefing?

Because politicians, by nature, are competent liars!
It's published by Parliament Clerks, not politicians.

But they get their facts from politicians!
Oh FFS
"The House of Commons Library research service provides MPs and their staff with impartial briefing and evidence base..."
I'm only pulling your plonker, as a dedicated Labour supporter I believe the figures, and, btw, only Tory politicians lie!
