I think that what really hurt Liverpool was being on the wrong side of the country when we joined the EU. Not sure in what way you mean the city was decimated by the Cons'.

But we've also benefitted quite a bit from EU cash, 2008 being one example. Whether it's spent wisely by councils is another matter......

Also, the city was done over by the Tories, massively. There were quotes from Thatcher endorsing a 'managed decline' of the city.

If the polls are to be believed, he won't have a choice.

I'm personally hoping Labour scrape through with just enough to form a minority without any support from the Lib Dems.

More immigrants! wonder where from? If not the Mansion Tax what are the other options?

Bear in mind if you want to spend the money has to come from tax or borrowing.

Does it matter where from. If they can do the job they're more than welcome.

You appear to have missed strong and balanced growth. Investment led to reduce the deficit in a sustainable way.

Nah, she is not at all decent. Horrid face, very thin lips and no figure!

CAN WE SWERVE ALL THE SEXISM, PLEASE?

Eh? 'Wrong side' in what way?

Not sure in what way you mean the city was decimated by the Cons'.

Think this might have something to do with it.

They'll need a 2-3% lead over the Tories (if the SNP do as expected) - doesn't look likely at this late stage.

Carry on.

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with politics and what we're trying to discuss in here?

Still not sexist. If gay men were discussing the attractiveness of Ed Miliband would you call it sexist?

In essence it's UK cash that has been allocated to the city by the EU rather than the UK Govt. 2008 City of Culture was tony b.liar's decision IIRC. It was the UK's turn to pick a city, but the Govt (Or some committee or other - I think that loyd grossman fronted our bid?)

''That Nicola Sturgeon is sound.''
''No she isn't, she has a horrid face and no figure.''

I guess her policies and skill as a politician don't matter then.

I'm voting Labour but this is hilarious

Where from? Well, they'd just have to hope they get how many they need from the EU

So this is sexist too?

Still not sexist. If gay men were discussing the attractiveness of Ed Miliband would you call it sexist?
