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.

There is no such thing as the 'bedroom tax', which is why it is shown in quotes in the article above. It is a sensible system to cut housing benefits for people with housing that is too big for them. It is also a very popular policy.

I see Cameron and Boris are both at the cricket. It looks like being a good game.

Well it may inform about why you support the actions of Cameron's U-turn on reducing advertising of cigarettes possibly on the advice of his mat Crosby.

Condemned by the Medical profession, but welcomed by the undertakers.

It stinks.

Lazy b------ds.

They should be working to get the country out of the mess they are creating.

I hope they paid for the admissions.

Mind Cameron is claiming the financial success as a con party success.

He is a brazen liar and poser.

"It would be rude to call the benefit numbers flakey. But most economists would say they were deeply speculative, at best.

The point is not that the Games didn't bring economic benefits - it would be hard for something that cost roughly £9bn not to have any economic benefits.

Nice to see Cameron and Boris having a well earned day off from their hard work.

Well done Fred keep the presure on Haystacks.

We want the liar to come clean.

The sooner they are permanently unemployed and living on a wasters supplement the better.

I was thinking!!!

I am confused. Is that Fred or goldfinger? My guess is that it is goldfinger as he comes across as looking like that.

hey fred - ukip shedding seats like confetti ..... oz 91/6!

Yes shame about the aussies! :-)

I thought I could hear Mr Burns above saying "answer the question!!"

UKIP won't get ANY seats in an election. By then they will be seen as the crazy party. The Libs are also known as the silly party and Lab is becoming the VERY silly party.

Most people I know will vote UKIP, Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dem leaders can't be trusted as goes to say the same for the parties. Unless theres a major shakeup UKIP I believe will do well.

shortie - there's a sort-of in-joke between fred and myself re test match result and ukip seats

on a slightly more serious note, I would not be surprised if ukip pick up a reasonable number of votes, though it really is far too far ahead to make an educated call ...... however i doubt they will even pick up 5 seats, and quite possibly, none at all

Even with quite a few votes UKIP will not get MPs. I have seen these protest parties before and they come to nothing. UKIP's polling figures are falling now and this is not even an election. People tend to revert to their traditional voting patterns.

Just seen this on Twitter:

"What's that you say, Skippy? The real Australian cricket team are stuck down an abandoned mineshaft?"

SC :~)


Haystack - 5th day tickets looking dubious!

Hays,

Some tories ministers in the past were seen as honest.

Now they are not, public opinion at the next General election may see them as dishonest and vote accordingly.

I can't say UKIP has any appeal to me except to split the tory vote.
