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.

20 years today when Shane Warne sent down that wonder ball that got Mike Gatting out when he was a young kid.
Happened in 2 minutes time.

Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson what a strange affair in Downing Street
Tuesday 4 June 2013
My old pal Dan Levi named the Downing Street shaggers on his website last night and so since we are both being sued elsewhere (by a cesspit oil company Sefton) for libel I am happy to stand in the dock with him again and also name them. As it happens numerous other websites and folks on twitter have done the same so it will be a packed Court.
I am Spartacus and I hope others will today be Spartacus forcing Cameron to come clean and admit what vast numbers of people already know.
The Government has bullied the mainstream media into silence by suggesting that revealing this may prejudice the forthcoming trials of Brooks and Coulson. Both face separate charges in relation to phone hacking. I fail to see why allegations that the two were shagging is relevant to that.
The reason the Government and David Cameron personally is terrified about this appearing is that he appointed Coulson as his spin doctor in chief instead of a safer pair of hands from the BBC on the advice of….the charming Rebekah. Rebekah was a good pal of his, lending him her horse to ride as they partied together in rural Oxfordshire. LOL.
And of course Rebekah’s lawyer is….David Cameron’s big brother Alex.
Cameron looks like a buffoon with incredibly poor judgment. Chatting to Christopher Booker about this yesterday we remarked how this seemed eerily reminiscent of the last days of the MacMillan Government. An out of touch elite just cannot help but make itself look dirty and shabby as well as incompetent. While the Country faces appalling problems, Tory MPs like Patrick Mercer take bribes and then “do the honourable thing” and stay in Westminster trousering salary + expenses for another two years and Call Me Dave tries to hush up an episode which makes his judgment look incredibly poor.
The honourable thing for Call Me Dave to do is to make a personal statement: “these are the facts, I made an error of judgment for which I apologise – I was hoodwinked, and regret it all.”
If he did that I suspect many of us might almost feel sorry for him. Trying to hush up something that, by the weekend, even crofters married to their cousins on otherwise uninhabited Scottish islands will know, arouses only contempt.
Parliament works for us not the other way round...or had you forgotten that Dave?

Once again you are wrong about Cameron. Cameron has not bullied the media. There is an injunction regarding publishing anything about the two people you mention, due there being an active criminal case sub judice.

Do Daniel Levi and Tom Winnifrith never learn? Aren't they already being sued for something else they did or said recently?

The Alleged Downing Street “Affair Pair” Named
Posted on June 3, 2013 Brokermandaniel
I can’t believe that national newspapers and top of the tree politico bloggers are running scared of naming the “alleged” names being mentioned all over the Internet concerning the Downing Street Affair. Of course it needs to be remembered that it is “Alleged”.
So without further adieu the names being bandied around on twitter, Facebook and the rest of the world are; Mr Andrew Coulson and Mrs Rebekah Brooks. I make no comment as to the truth of these allegations merely the fact that these are the “Names”
Patently obvious to all and fundamentally stupid to try to cover up what is already doing the rounds up and down the length and breadth of the UK.
I look forward to No 10s’ writ, gagging order, super injunction or withdrawal of my citizenship and a place at Bellmarsh Top Security prison. I believe the food is very good.

Sefton Resources are suing them both for Libel, but I have to say I dont like either of these 2 guys but at least they are trying to protect the small PI against alleged corporate shananigans from company boards and their well paid legal teams.

Number 10 have made no attempt gag anyone and it is very unlikely that they would. If Cameron did not know about it until the last few days then it should not affect the government at all. Just a lot of fuss about nothing. Certainly it is bad behaviour from the people involved, but unlikely to affect anyone else.

If you say its incorrect fair enough hays, Winnifrith seems to disagree.
Personaly I couldnt give a damm, its been happening for years in all walks of life etc etc.
Cant see what the big fuss is all about.
Personally think Camoron has more important issues to solve like A@E waiting times and the serious re-distribution of wealth to poorer familys.

ukip as an entity on its own is still very much fringe, and indeed, in the longer term, may just wither - who knows
however, over the next couple of years, its indirect influence on how both (3?) major parties fare could be interesting ...... it has been assumed that ukip draws its support primarily from disillusioned tories, but given the pro-eu stance of the other two and their refusal to even consider a referendum, that assumption may be found to be rather wide of the mark
only the general election will prove one way or another, as by elections prior to that often give false readings

Tom who? who gives a fxxxk, GF are you Minnie Caldwell reincarnated, probably before your time. The soap still running though Coronation Street, in the sixties situated in the Rovers Return, Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha over a half pint of stout in the Snug used to gossip and witter on. Today the Rovers Return is equivalent to Twatter, grow up you tart.
