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.

Guardian/ICM poll this evening. Cons draw level to Lab, 36% each! Looks like the toffs haven't lost their sense of timing.

Tories level with Labour, Guardian poll shows. Get the full results
The Conservatives are level with Labour for the first time since March 2012.
The Conservatives have erased a seven percentage point deficit to Labour over the last month and David Cameron's party is now level with Ed Miliband's, with a 36% share of voting intentions.
Labour's share was unchanged, while the Tories appear to have benefited from Ukip's continued slide. Nigel Farage's party has slipped from an 18% share in May to 12% in June and now 7%.
Labour had led the Conservatives by at least five percentage points since March 2012, at which point the Tories were leading by three points.
The poll also found an overwhelming acceptance (65% of respondents) that the deficit cannot be cut without raising taxes, and that MPs' salaries – rather than being increased – are already too high.
"The fall in the Ukip share of the vote may reflect both the recent comparative decline in publicity for the party's leader, Nigel Farage, as well as Downing Street's persistent efforts to neutralise Ukip's appeal by countering with a series of strong messages on immigration, welfare and a referendum on UK membership of the European Union.
It may also suggest that Ukip support is in part a protest vote exercised in relatively unimportant local elections, and that this support dissipates once the protest has been registered."

Now why would the Guardian fix the figures in favour of the Conservatives?
A left wing paper showing Lab and Con level pegging and UKIP disappearing. Looks like a Conservative majority.

Two Things to Note From Today’s Guardian/ICM Poll
Labour and the Tories are neck and neck with UKIP trailing off in this morning’s ICM poll for the Guardian. Though as Mike Smithson explains ICM was the pollster most out with UKIP at the 2009 Euros, where it undershot their result by 6.5% and had them in fourth place when they came second. Also worth taking into account that at the weekend Survation had UKIP on 20%, Opinium on 19% and ComRes on 18%. G.

Sometimes, I think Hays needs to go home to a good thrasher to put him back in order.

i don't know why certain "friends" here get so excited about these snap polls that are done pretty much every week ..... until we get at least close to the election, they are totally meaningless, not least, because today's "excitement" - e.g. mccluskey and his loony left cronies - has an inevitable but over-heavy knee-jerk result on the next poll

Cynic,
Yes, if you are considering the overall result of the next election.
But they are an interesting barometer of the public approval of said policies and smears.
From what I can observe I think the lead up and next election will be one of the dirtiest, unpleasant and unethical for many years.
But who would expect nowadays that politician will be "ethical".

I 100% agree with cutting benefits for the lazy but certainly not the real disabled
but this bunch in power are and do not care .
stop all family allowance after the two children is a must
people who are made redundant should be given 12 months then
cut the benefits .
any one who has been unemployed for over 2 years should then be made to work for the job seekers money via the local council cleaning paths and other jobs
and the environment agency cleaning up river banks and others
do not allow them to sleep and drink all day
it is time to act and put and end to a life on benefits

T re---------''any one who has been unemployed for over 2 years should then be made to work for the job seekers money via the local council cleaning paths and other jobs''.
What about the local council staff currently doing these jobs for a higher wage than Job seeker allowance, do you think their jobs would be safe. Local councils would relish the opportunity to lay off their workforce, and replace them with lower paid Job seeker allowance workers.
This method would keep low wage earners on even lower wages, in the same way that the influx of immigrants had on low wage earners.

2517 when was the last time you saw people sweeping the paths
they would only do the jobs that are not done cleaning the country side up
clearing snow from paths and so on .
no one who is fit should get money for nothing
lets change the culture for good make them work for the benefits till they find a job

Jobless couple who claim £27,000 a year benefits want a new council house because they've had SIX children 'by accident' while living in a one-bedroom flat
Maggie Flisher and husband Gavin have not worked since first baby in 2005
Mrs Flisher says she is 'super-fertile' - which makes contraception fail
She says she has begged her doctor for sterilisation but is too young
They say the council has ignored their demands for a new home for 8 years

TANKER the case you highlight above is just what the torries want for their propoganda programme.
Truth is cases like that are in the minimum but alwayd highlited by the press media and NASTY torries.
This benefit cap is right........ BUT...... private landlord rents need looking at.
Their are some right sh-t holes on the market at horendous monthly rates normaly let out here in Yorkshire by Asian landlords who do not come upto the minimum standard.
Its time we started checking more rigously on empty propertys where landlordrs are paid rent direct. LAs are not doing their job.
