Certainly had a bit of restoration but for 59 looking okay.

I thought she was born in 60.Looking very good for 69, I would add.
I wasn’t disputing her age, I was just confirming suitability for a certain position.I thought she was born in 60.
What you smoking and drinking down there Wattie ?
Well judging by what she’s wearing that would be a safari pass.
That’s quite a story. Well done you.Have you ever had to live off benefits? I have. You have to have extremely low ambition or self esteem to want to live like that. I don't recommend it. I ended up a single father with five kids when they lost their mother and I was totally on my árse, ended up in Lochside, Dumfries amongst the druggies, whores, dickheads, thugs, villains, the detrius of life - some total mental tw@ts I can tell you.
I'd hit bottom, I fought out, I was/am intelligent but lazy hence needing to be kicked to do something.
Some people have no choice, they aren't clever, they can't comprehend ambition, they want things like we do, love, life, kids but can't escape. That can't be kicked, they have no reflex action, nothing to fall back on.
So please don't think people are happy on benefits, it's a shiite state of affairs for anyone, just a lot have no escape.
And UK benefits are just about the worst in Europe, so refugees don't come here for that...
More modifications...... (rule changes, moving goalposts).....farce.The latest act in the Europeans Ponzi scheme. Open ended money printing.

Question- if QE is truly the answer, why didn’t the ECB do €100 Billion per month rather than €20 as that presumably would solve the problems 5x quicker.
I'll 2nd Wattie on this....great work and you should be applauded. If only the rest of the country had the same attitude, gumtpion and ability.Have you ever had to live off benefits? I have.

The thing that best qualifies Corbyn to be PM is the fact that he never intended nor expected to be a contender. That alone makes him unique in my lifetime.I like Corbyn because he's a human being, the social polices he plans are just what we need. Unfortunately he's no politician and has no leadership skills. He's done some stupid things but he's never wavered, stuck to his guns and ideals and as for as I know, never cheated, lied or fiddled. Somewhere I have a pic of him someone snapped of him on a bus some years ago, it was late/dark, he looked knackered, was standing, no taxi. no limo, no car even. You have to give him some kudos.
Look at the rest, for God's sake, £350 quid for a taxi, 21k for a flat nearer to HoC...
I mean, as someone with first hand experience of the public sector it’s not that the evil nasty tories want to destroy it, it’s that it’s run by incompetent ******* morons who think that money grows on trees.The thing that best qualifies Corbyn to be PM is the fact that he never intended nor expected to be a contender.

As for going back to the 1970s, that's just the stuff of Daily Fail headlines. The 2017 Labour manifesto contained policies that are considered mainstream across most of Europe. Successive British governments - of all parties - have ignored the ever-widening gap between those with the most wealth and those struggling at the bottom. That growing inequality was a major factor in the Brexit referendum. The EU (and migrant workers) were scapegoated. That's not to say that the EU doesn't have many faults.
Under-investment in public services is a great way for UK governments to guarantee those services will no longer be fit for purpose. It ensures that the public gets thoroughly disenchanted with the public sector, and the idea of public ownership, in general. And then, having manipulated public opinion, they can sell off those services to private enterprise, ideally at a knock-down rate. Later on, when their political careers are coming to an end, former ministers and special advisers can walk into highly lucrative jobs in one of the sectors that they were supposed to have been regulating when they were in government. Cronyism, bribery and misappropriation of public funds, in full view of, and with approval from the electorate.

There is no concept of limited resources. There is no concept of personal responsibility. It’s all about the extent to which the government will bail them out after their inevitable failure. And by government they mean us, the tax payer.
The public sector doesn’t need more money. That just what the incompetent morons who run it scream about the loudest because it’s an easy win. The public sector needs to be run by people who are aware of and understand the concept of limited resources and resource maximisation. Fat chance as long as the prevailing view is that we should just increase spending.
They want to come her because of our lax benefits system, 'oh you poor people, here, have a house, and money for this, and money for that' stuff they wouldn't get anywhere else.Not the point, the point was why the UK? The UK has not acted alone against these countries, France, Germany, et Al were all in amongst it, yes I agree the UK has done wrong by a lot of countries, but guess what, when they fought for it they were given their independance back, then start crying when they royally **** it up? Never mind , while the UK continues to contribute to India's space programme while not being able to afford our own (not that we want one mind).
Ps have a look at pictures of Lybia in the 70s , absolutely beautiful, I guess they didn't want that.....
I must admit to having a bit of a crush for our Kirkwood, oh and Mk1 Vorderman, not a fan of artificially enhanced Females.

But the Tories do believe that public services can be better run by people like Richard Branson. And they think that school books, libraries and youth centres are expendable. Cuts to such services are seen as a price worth paying, following the bailing out of banks, to the tune of many billions of pounds. Maybe those were banks which inevitably failed, having been run by incompetent morons with no concept of personal responsibility.
The same governments that bail out private enterprises like the banks, and help businesses with their wage costs (by providing in-work benefits to low paid employees) are also responsible for the management of the public sector, so it is within their gift to replace any incompetents and install people who would do a better job.
In terms of % of GDP spent on public healthcare, the UK ranks about 11th in Europe, so I think the argument that it is underfunded perhaps has some merit, irrespective of whatever mismanagement and waste there may be in the current system.
