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.

We do not need any more clowns Fred, ones enough on here is it not? :-))

Cynic,

Didn't think they would have you, even if you wanted go "there"?

What I was inferring (even badly) is how the tories and even U-Kippers are out of date and although appealing to the looney right and blue blue rinse part of society.

However, I think in the UK there is more moderate consensus of opinion and will at the next G/election reject the right wing, especially when then the inappropriate cuts become more evident and the pandering to the "city" and "greed" becomes more evident.

UKIP appeal to the righteous voluble group, while the tories under Cameron are appealing to less and less of the voters.

The problem the tories has, is that the majority to the tory leadership appears inept, or unappealing and out of touch with the mass of voters. There isn't anybody to replace Cameron at the moment for the tories, even if he is a failure, they are stuck with him.


May 7th 2015 is an interesting date. (Tick, Tock.)

I wonder if DC and GO will stay the course. ( It could be GO DC.)

In their obvious belief in democracy, perhaps, hays and manuel could stand in order to strengthen tory vote. Probably that would be a bit like Clarke calling the UKIP clowns.

what's it to you? ..... you can't be arsed to vote for anyone, whether blue, pink, green or red, so learn to live with what you then get and deserve

Big thankyou to Nige and Ukip, just the kick up the arse the Tories needed, to avoid the complacency so apparent in the past, perhaps this time they will realise the electorate (well let's be honest, tiny majority in the big scheme of things) have given them a massive heads up on what to target. Fred (who can't be arsed to vote and speaks shite at the best of times) clutching at straws as per. :O)

unlike (fos)fred, and whether or not many do not like what you write, at least you voted (i hope!)

Natch cynic.

Manuel.

I don't vote, but watching the game of politics has always fascinated me.

A bit like sitting outside a bar in Paris on a warm summer's day with cold bottle of wine of day, watching the world go by and recognising one's own insignificance.

the last part is spot on, but when you're sitting in your pavement cafe, you don't spend your time (even you i hope), berating people for living in that country (france) and putting up with the taxation system, unions, immigration problems etc, unlike you do on this thread .... if you did, the adjoining table might well retort, "what's it to do with you?" which is rather as here where it would be said, "but you don't even vote for anything different, so cut the incessant whingeing and live with it"

Agree with you Chris, the Tories needed a good kick up the backside. I don't know who Cameron's advisers are, but they need to re-write the script before it's too late.

Just a break from some of the Right Wing abuse on here:
At the end of todays last game of the season Danny Ings gave his boots to a young kid in a wheelchair and kissed him on the head.. Nice touch in an age where footballers are often criticised for only thinking about their pay cheques.



OK, carry on as you wish.

Actually I thought it was left wing abuse.

Although I do not follow football, it was a very nice gesture from the footballer concerned to make a little boys day happy and I suppose for the rest of his life. There are lots of good people out there. I wish this political stuff would end as nobody is getting anywhere.

Fabulous Stan, nice touch.

Manuel,

Not surprising, that your experiences of France and the French and mine are different.

Often talk with them about the politics of the UK and Europe and how they view the little englanders. Also, discussed the ongoing politics and developments and hopes of France and Europe. Rather than just how much they could get out of Europe.

Found them very interesting, tolerant to differing views opinions and not fixed in their positions, also very humorous and good humoured. Not abusive, such as calling opposition groups clowns, etc.

Many times I wished I was still allowed to smoke Gauloises or Gitanes and could take the same amount of brandy.

But different people and different experiences.

It seems one of the leading lights of the Tory party is in a spot of trouble.

Same old tories. Perhaps, they should concentrate on vetting their own party's candidates more carefully!

I hear noises asking Cameron to "WAKE UP".

I think Cameron and similarly Osborn will continue dreaming, and may wake up after losing their position.

My comment from a pea but brain:- THIS THREAD IS BECOMMING EXASPORATING. Boring to the extreme fact:- that I cannt believe educatd people write so much shrit.

D and 3m.

I see you believe in censorship.

If you don't like what is posted, censor yourself and don't read it, or even simpler squelch the posters you object to.

I am sure they won't mind.

You seem to dwell in close contact.

Just for Manuel and Hays, who like Dreams are lying down in front of an oncoming juggernaut.

Don't move, the country really needs you!
