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.

Economists are predicting good news when the first estimate of economic growth during April, May and June is revealed next week.

Analysts expect the Office for National Statistics to say that the economy grew by around 0.5% when it reveals its preliminary estimate for Q2 GDP on Thursday.

They point to several important economic indicators which have been positive in recent months.

Consumer confidence was at a 25 months high in June. Business confidence in Q2 was at its highest since 2007.

Retail sales volumes rose by 0.9% between Q1 and Q2. New car sales were 13.4% higher in June compared with the same month last year.

Hays,

Were you born in wedlock?

Were all your family born in wedlock?

Were all your "experiences" absorbed in "wedlock"

I think for the majority of the public "marriage" and "innocence" is becoming less and less important as are homosexual unions.


Other than to a small bunch of R/tory party Neanderthals.

-----------

The difference between labour party funding from the unions is that the union payment represents a "large group of individuals" and it is open, whereas a lot of the money from "wealthy individuals" is it less open and attempting to covertly by favours and tax rewards and appears to be direct lobbying for favours.


Should the union "Party Levy" system be alter? Yes.

But simplifying it to "Do you wish to pay a political levy, to such and such a party as suggested by the union, or not to pay any political levy at all?" would probably be sufficient.

The payments by the unions should be open to public view.

I think it would be interesting to see where the profit from bar receipts from the local CON clubs goes?

The point is not wedlock, but the nepotism.

Labour also get substantial sums from wealthy individuals and that is likely to increase as union funding decreases.

The smile which suggest I have F that and now going on holidays to check my family trusts.

Now we see the politics of envy.

Referring to what exactly?

It seems to be that greed is the driving force of the present CON party and many of its membership.

Well done to Joe Root at the cricket surely a genious in the making and from Yorkshire. Not only a batsman but an ace shock spin bowler aswel.

Well done to Froome aswel inthe Tour De France.

Dear ohhh dear.......

Late news just coming in .........Lynton Crosby linked with Fracking Lobbying.


What more has he and Cameron got hidden away??????????????

Old story from a week ago.

Raises even more the stench around Cameron and crew.

Obviously a lobby company works for companies that need lobbying. It doesn't mean that he affects policy. You are barking up the wrong tree. Less than 1 in 10 people have heard of Lynton Crosby.

CAMERON all is friends are crooks liars cheats some are even evil
Cameron is a liar .
is name should be hilter Cameron .that about sums him up

fred the stench from the con party you can smell it all over the uk

Obama is speech last week was a disgrace he is a anti white racist if the BNP had made that statement the police would of acted and arrested the person
Obama is a dangerous dimwit

Hays,

More and more are getting to know the name Lynton Crosby.

Some are suggesting that they should call a party election and making party leader.

I like a bit of Crosby! :-)

Wouldn't be surprised to see his face on some political banners at the time of the next election.

Under "Who rules Britain?" you or "Lynton Crosby".


Has a ring to it!

Through his business activities, Crosby has been seen as an enemy to those who advocate for the rights of asylum seekers, Gypsies, indigenous people, women seeking abortions and gay marriage activists. Indeed, because of his marketing methods, it could be argued that he has helped to push politics in the western world to the right.

he should be the tory leader I would vote for him it is what the uk needs a strong man at the wheel
