Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

CC to the blunt point as usual. I wish I could agree with you that the Labour Party is F+++++, dead and buried, but sadly this isn't the case. Despite the fact that Milliband and Balls are both complete tossers the Labour Party still has a large following in this country and if we had a General Election tomorrow I very much doubt that the Conservatives would have an outright majority.

One common thing about "Caring Conservatives" is that they just can't stop blaming other people for there own Tory shortcomings.

Doodles.
The Con party is split into so many splinter self interest groups that you can't list them.
The john redwood brigade, the Cash brigade, the 5th columnists, the UKIP and of course the BNP and the blue rinse Maggie brigade.
I would suspect, at the time of the next election, many prominent Libs may try to save their necks by swimming in the same mire which is being created by the present coalition with some tories.
As far as tossers are concerned I would think this Old Etonian tory party will be famous for that description.

Hays,
I find it amusing that Tories are blaming "world economic" situations for their present mistakes, while previously saying all the previous economic problems were down to the previous governments mismanagement.

I don't see any Tory mistakes. If we had a Labour government then we would be borrowing even more . That would mean our credit rating would be worse and we would therefore be paying even more in interest. That would then mean the deficit would talk even longer to pay back. Lucky we don't have the Eds running things.

Hays,
Being a tory is a mistake.
Your remark about credit rating would suggest that you expect the UK's to be lowered.
Wonder why?
WHERE IS THE GROWTH?

Our credit rating would be lowered if we stopped making cuts and borrowed more. I don't know where you expect growth to come from at present with the EU in recession. At least we are regarded as having one of the strongest economies in the EU. Labour might as well keep quiet as they lost the election and they are NOT the government (thankfully). If Labour were in power they would be borrowing more.labour have always been a tax and spend party and when they can't tax they become a borrow and spend party. Sometime they manage to do both at once. Their strategy just leads to more debt.

The usual 3 Party political rhetoric and over exaggeration about growth. The Tobin Tax should have been implemented decades ago. With the usually scaremonging about all institutions leaving London being ignored as it's lies.

Hays,
I would considered you reasonable on summary of Israel, Gaza and ME, but intransigent and rigid on out of date tory policies.
-----------------
Consider UK as a company and why companies are prepared to raise money by flotations or "borrowing".
Consider Mortgages as long term debt and why they are undertaken.
Consider borrowing to replace plant.
Consider infrastructure and plant.
Consider "education" and "social services" as resources for the oiling of "capitalism".
Consider what was eventually learned in the 1930s and early 1940s.
Consider Roosevelt's economic recovery with Dickensian economic and social responsibility of the present coalition.

Another criticism of the tories is that their basic social policies consist of divide to "conquer".
Instead of allowing Education, Schools and Universities, Health services, Police and Legal services to bed down after almost constant changes for the last 25 years, they like other governments of all colours, have started the churns again.
They feel the need to interfere without evaluating the true losses and gains of previous changes and the effect on the moral within those “services”.
As can been seen many of the present administration's ministers are naive and meddling based on ideology rather than proper appraisal and thought out policy.
The way to be successful seems to move on from on post to another before your mistakes come home.
Also, what irritates is the constant looking for a quick buck or headlinegrabbing like spivs with no long term planning.
-----------------
George Osborne is "planning" for the next election and his own party rather than the UK as a whole.
The results are to be seen.
He is egocentric, like many of his colleagues.
