Not slipped by me. I can just imagine the conversation.

Ha. The one I don't get there is unemployment. That's constantly in the news. Can understand folk getting most of the rest wrong given the nature of news.

So, hoboh, have you downloaded your new app from that website yet?

The one that 'helps you grow in your walk with god'?

I'll share it with the forum since you forgot to...

http://www.cbn.com/mycbn/?intcmp=A_CTNT ... :4545EWDDS" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and for a monthly donation to this website you can get the video 'Living under god's Blessing'

The monthly giving options range between $20 and $834. it isn't clear if you get more of god's blessings the more you pay - but in a free market system i would expect so.

'Sweden maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. It has the world's eighth-highest per capita income and ranks highly in numerous comparisons of national performance, including quality of life, health, education, protection of civil liberties, economic competitiveness, equality, prosperity and human development.'

Sounds fecking awful.

They'll be all right once they've signed up to the Christian Broadcasting Network's app, made their monthly donation of $834 and are living in eternal harmony Under God's Blessing with you and the other inhabitants of Fraggle Rock...

It's just like Nigel Farage - neither has a mandate in our parliament, but you can't shut the fckers up. The only difference between them and you, is that they make the Daily Mail. :D

Ok, let's ignore the favourite people's opinion for some folk on here, scientific advice and continue to expand our population of migrants and potentially a whole lot more if this Euro crash bites.

"London, by contrast, has just 1.3 murders per 100,000 people."

And that's after the entire population of Romania and Bulgaria have turned up.
