    DC completely side steps a clear question on people being sacked simply because their boss dislikes them.

    Dave's sounding a bit rattled. When the Tories are in a tight spot they start ranting about the unions and doing that loud, obnoxious braying that only a £25,000 a year schooling can buy. :rolleyes:

    Quite a ding dong at the end there.

    Anyone else getting issues with BBC video streams stuttering every so often, as if they've gone back 1 second and then they skip ahead 1 second a few moments later?

    I never predicted you'd be of that opinion. :rolleyes:

    Personally I thought Ed hit the Tories' weak spots pretty well- In the pockets of the rich and kicking the working poor.

    Don't get too smug. When the Tories play the union card, it's because their feathers have been ruffled. :)

    The Tories are not in the pockets of the rich but obviously successful people are going to support a party that believes in a thriving business culture.

    The working poor being taken out of tax altogether are hardly getting a "kicking".

    I see why George Osborne has that look during pmqs - he has Balls on opposite side.

    On one of the first occasions that he spoke in the House, some backbenchers mocked him for the difficulty he was having expressing himself.

    To be fair to him, he tends to ask sensible questions and doesn't really engage in histrionics and attacks.

    The left are nasty people. I often see comments on here regarding Mr Pickles size and weight. Labour are just a bunch of bullies.

    What's with all the union mentions? Has there been some union activity today or something? :confused:
