General Discussion

@Andysport :  just where exactly in my reply to Neil did I say or imply in anyway which language and country of those he mentioned did I think would be the dominant and cultural influence in the future? What I said (in French) was that I agreed with him. Do you have a problem with appreciating irony?

@Neil: Je suis d'accord avec vous.

Jobs. Apparently that won't be a problem as............there will be an area reserved for employment units up by Langdon Hospital. The logic being, it seems, that if employment areas are provided then businesses will (re)locate to where the business units and the potential employees are located.

Did I miss the outrage from the right wing press about this deal? Imagine their reaction if it had been a Labour government that had done this or even if Ed Milliband had  merely suggested such a deal should be made?
