wonder when we will find out if there is a coalition, Clegg & Cameron are supposed to have head honchos talking tonight about what each party wants.

It'll take a few days at least. Clegg has to get party-wide approval for anything he wants to do regarding colluding with the Tories.

hmmm i think that maybe the Lib-Dems should side with Labour get Proportional Representation in with-in months & then hold another election, however this will make the Lib-Dems seem like a party with only one thing in mind.

i think that Lib/Con could work in the short-term but the same goes for Lib/Lab which will just get a battering in the press.

the voting system simply has to change because otherwise a third of the population are un-represented.

Pfft. *laughs in Alan's face*

One of the things Conservs are thinking of introducing are these work clubs: basically these are off of the 80s patronising-git style areas where people long-term unemployed go, to learn how to create CVs, and write little covering letters to employers. Also, they will be doing 80s style community schemes, where they will no doubt learn precisely f*** all, and have less time to look for jobs.

It's all a bloody joke.

Haha. You just reminded me of the pessimistic undertaker in Dad's Army.:
(3mins in). Thank you, enjoyed watching that. Had forgotten how good it was.

Pessimistic, or just realistic???? I think we all know after all we're looking at a very bad scenario indeed (to say the least). Anyone with any kind of loaf could see that.

Plus in the stock market, this country minus a leader, looks extremely unstable. This will need to get sorted by Monday at the latest.

Think Cameron. Think Thatcher. Think 80s.

Think about it.

I'm glad the video amused you though.. I'll show it to my neighbour - unemployed for 2 + years, with an honours science degree, potentially being sent to a place where they will teach him how to create a little C.V. and how to give back to his community... I wonder if he'll find it funny?!

Doom is almost upon us. :-(

I think the biggest disgrace was the polling stations that were unprepared... and the fact we don't use PR. Under that the Tories would still be ahead, but the Liberals would also have a share of seats that better represents their actual voting numbers.

Best thing about the whole deal, high turnouts.

The polling stations being unprepared was just unbelievable. You just knew that the numbers of people were gonna go up due to the on-going financial crisis, yet it didn't seem to occur to anybody.

I was listening to R2 whilst out running today, and someone who had previously been in politics was saying she has doubt whether Cameron will actually be able to remain a term in Parliament.

Well so am I and I found it funny. Being unemployed and having a good degree doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humour.

Also if he's been unemployed two years he'll have already been sent to one by Labour so it's not going to make that big a difference.

I guess it depends on what your sense of humour is. I thought it an odd thing to throw in when we're in the middle of an economic/extremely serious financial/political crisis, where no-one can simply make a firm decision. God knows what V.A.T. hikes on everything are gonna come next as well.....

My neighbour hasn't been sent anywhere by Labour, because of brief periods of being signed off job centre, doing temp production stuff..... Under a Labour government, being signed off for 28+ days (I believe) means he hasn't, so far anyway, been sent on to a training provider...

Yes, Labour's gonna take serious action too, but, as far as I am aware, not the job/work clubs. Those are notorious for being, quite frankly, pish....If you really need help getting a C.V. together or writing a little letter to a Company, fine and good, but someone with a degree is just gonna feel, I think, demoralised.

Under any Government anyway, what do these little placements that they send people to achieve?!! If you get kept on, great.... but I can't help thinking it's a way of making people look far more active than they actually are. I do agree with Cameron that the entire benefits system needs to be reformed, as so very many people would happily claim benefits for years, but just not the way he's gonna do it.

It didn't work in the 80s - indeed, resulted in a lost generation, and it won't work now.

The courses that Labour sent me on and the ones that the Tories propose are pretty much identical and a waste of time to effectively sign people off from the dole so they can say unemployment has dropped. They're as bad as each other. As much as I detest the Tories it's not just them that like to screw over the unemployed.

Yep, that's the thing... they're all doing similar stuff, because they actually don't know how to resolve very serious problems such as unemployment. Even the Lib Dems were gonna be introducing "green" types of training/schemes for people, such as re-training them to work in Wind farms, etc.

Mind you, this is one idea that could actually lead somewhere. :-) maybe?? Maybe this is one of the things Nick C could work with Cameron on....

Thank God it looks like the end of an area of irresponsible spending from Brown and the Labour government. I think the Tories will manage to do a deal with the Lib Dems and form a coalition, whatever happens this country will be in a mess for the next few years (mainly down to Labour doing what they always do when they leave government - leave the country in the shit).

I think I've recovered from my all-nighter on Thursday/Friday. Glad to be back on UM! :D It's a shame the Lib Dems didn't do too well, glad to see the BNP did poorly too. Upset to see Charles Clarke and the amazing Lembit Opik beaten.

And the Green MP Caroline Lucas of course.

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      By Lee E · Posted

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
