This company has been promoting yearly fixed rate bonds for the past six months and only last week announced a Interest Rate change on one of its best performing...

Dan I suggest a lot of nurses would show, and tell you just what they think of your comments on low paid jobs. So far as I can see most of the ideas on...dan | October 7, 2008 at 2:06 pm
It often IS someones fault if they work in a low paid job - they should have tried harder at school. There is a pecking order but some people make it and some...Lawrence | October 7, 2008 at 11:16 am
Not heavy taxation. Fair taxation. I don’t see whinging, I see challenging times. Why do people insist of equating fair taxation with...

Better watch out for the surcharges, then CD!CD | October 7, 2008 at 2:10 pm

It is immensely concerning if “economic thinking” in the States has shifted even further to the Right, as Deputy Gollop contends. The States of...

Some sensible borrowing must surely be aceptable. Any borrowing mustbe kept withing limits and deputies should be reminded that loans need servicing in...
Already in debt. £50 million facility for GHA at RBS to fund housing developments, all backed by the states.Darren | October 7, 2008 at 10:45 am
