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.

Good to see this tory government is keeping its word on immigration.

Should help UKIP and BNP.

Well done Theresa May.

Mind she has the Border Agency functioning well.

Seem to be deterrring UK residents returning from Europe.

Most people don't like Ed Miliband, new poll shows

Ed Miliband suffered a fresh blow today with a new poll showing six out of ten people do not like him.

His public satisfaction rating also nudged down to its lowest since becoming leader, according to the Ipsos MORI survey.

It found 63 per cent of people say they do not like Mr Miliband, up from 56 per cent last October and 51 per cent in January 2011.

The latest score is his worst as leader and compares to ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s in July 2008.

I would doubt that not many of the public are in love with Cameron, George, or Theresa.

Wait and see.

I have caught N's problem.

New wave of immigrants begins
The number of Romanians and Bulgarians working in Britain has risen by more than a quarter in three months, according to figures which provide the first evidence of an influx of migrants from the two countries, even before border controls are lifted next year.

Migrant workers from Romania and Bulgaria numbered 141,000 at the end of June, a rise of nearly 26 per cent on the 112,000 recorded at the end of March. The figure was up 35 per cent year-on-year.

Commentators said the rise foreshadowed how nationals from the two former Eastern Bloc countries would come to Britain in even greater numbers when they gain access to this country’s labour market on New Year’s Day.

But I thought Wacky Dave and Cruella were sorting this problem out.

Are they still on holidays?

UK - Ipsos MORI poll: CON 30%, LAB 40%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 11%

Labour lead extends.

Just goes to show the electorate dont give a jot if green shoots are coming through if brass in their back pocket is getting less and less. (living standards falling)

Haystack......retard, argue yourself out of that one.

The polls are up and down each day due to margins of error. The important things are that the poll trend is improving for the Conservative and the public do not trust or like Miliband and Balls.

currently no one holds any politician in much regard, and is it surprising?
for all that, a bunch of them from all spectra will be re-elected at the next election ..... with the economy swinging in the conservatives favour, it would come as no surprise to see them re-elected as the effects of the revival start to filter through within say the next 9 months or so

Hays,

Do they trust Murdoch and Rebecca's friend Cameron.



When is Rebecca appearing in court next?

Perhaps a few weeks before the next election?

I can't say that I think any of it has any importance. The public don't care either.

Wait and see, when it the topic is massaged at the time of the election.

Cynic,

Transferring from TCG thread.

My memory for many things surprises me.

Wish it was the right things.

But it the ME is a sad place to be at the moment.

In the 90s I was going to drive the tank there, but Bush put and end to it as I was driving an American model.

Thought of driving down into Morocco before this Xmas, but think it wiser to observe from a distance.

I thought a very interesting perusal relevant to the ME at this point in time.
