BBC News - The Full Story: PM's Questions

Just watched Prime Ministers question time on CSPAN our Govt channel which airs the House/ Senate Hearings etc .
Seems to the Prime Minister was a bit 'flumoxed/lost' about the location Mr Jones constituancy (Hyndburn) and had to be pointed in the right direction (general area) by his buddies sitting either side of him ,only when the MP for Hyndburn mentioned the neighbouring consituancy of Burnley did the Prime Ministers light bulb go on .

Maybe we need to change the name from Hyndburn to something else

"crappyburn" may catch the PM's eye.. or "biglumpofbababurn".. maybe be a tactic you lot could employ, when you lick and slobber all over the Tories in an attempt to fend off the rape of whats left of your community.

When you fling insults, like the ones in the post above, it is a sure sign that you have lost the argument.
Back to fragrant Bermonsey then!

I don't have an argument.. I'm making the point that it is futile to even think this government give a toss about Hyndburn or anywhere else.. they are about to slash and cut anything this nation has ..carry on blaming it on labour.. but this is now and I don't believe it is needed.

Jealousy.

We have a brand new, local M.P.

His M.P. is leading Con-Dem, Simon Hughes.

Bless.

You have a new MP and even those of us not part of the electors in Accrington congratulate your choice.. but then it seems most of the active members on here back the attack on the basic everyday income and employment in the country.. north south or wherever.. at least the MP for Hyndburn does not.. but you lot do.

Not only did the last government spend, spend, spend, when there was no money left in the pot, and more manically than pools winner, Viv Nichols on speed, but knowing their time in government was at an end, they carried out a scorched earth programme before vacating office.

Hundreds of millions of pounds were committed to projects we have no money to fund, with no get out clause.

They've admitted doing this, and even left a 'jokey' note, that the country has no money left.

Very, very funny...not, and if you think that that is the action of people who are honourable, and even vaguely socialist, you're a bigger fool than you sometimes appear.

Most folk up here are quite sensible.

They've lived lives, and been brought up knowing, that if there's nowt in the pot, there won't be jam, or even butter, on the bread.

Just be grateful that there's bread.

My oh my.. the last words of the Edwardian age.. Charles Dickens and all that.. so now after all the hardship we must go back to shining up the doorsteps and god forbid any member of the family getting ill.. this maybe a windup but it will not be funny in the years to come.

North versus south.

Realism versus living in Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Don't dilly-dally, the offy will be open soon.

I don't see anyone on here considering our current situation as funny.
I think we can all see it is dire......and it is dire because we had a joke of a government for 13 years...and who you would have us believe, should still hold the keys to the coffers.

I have lived through hard times, times when we burned furniture because we could not afford coal....so don't tell me about the hard times to come......I have lived them, and doubtless will live them and survive again.
