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.

We vote for politicians to do what is right in particular circumstances. If we employed them to listen to the public then we would have capital punishment as there is an overwhelming majority in favour of it. There is no absolute democracy. Our system is not perfect. We vote in MPs to run the country. If we do not like what they have done then we vote them out. That's the limit of our democracy.

Do you want capital punishment? If you don't then your version of democracy would not suit you.

Capital punishment what has that got to do with the price of bread? Your unreal!

if we had your version of democracy where the public got its way then we would be more isolationist, we would give no foreign aid, we would have violent punishment for crimes. The job of leaders is to lead.

Capital punishment and other things you may not want would be in place if the government listened to the public. The public taken as a whole are ignorant, aggressive and generally wrong about almost everything.

Well I'm sorry to say this old chap but our current leader fxxxd up good style! did he not?

I think he misjudged the extent to which Labour would behave badly.

when a person fleas is country when their is conflict and left others to fight for the country is views are worthless and should keep is mouth shut .
those that fight for their countries freedom are the only people that can give their views not cowards that run . .
god bless the fighters of freedom
the ones that leave have no country

No he fxxxd up! Labour as is their right in opposition did what was expected. Milliband will eventually regret that in view of what is actually taken place. But the fact is Cameron (pillock) jumped in where angels fear to tread.

hay . we should leave these people to kill each other because what ever any one does will not help . they are what they are leave them to sort it out .

you can not help MUSLIMS they will only turn on the helpers and a proven fact they even kill the people giving them food . that about sums it up .

all the facts of history tells the world that

A better option would be Miliband eating humble pie and asking for a vote. If there is another chemical attack the Labour will find itself on the wrong side of history and will incur a lot of abuse.

Absolutely agree, if Milliband has half a brain then you are right. Let's watch this space.

the arab league seating on the fence . they want others to do their fighting
well I say let them kill each other I could not give a toss they are scum terrorists
and it was them that used gas to kill their own people not assad .
I am on the side of Russia

lets send all those that spout about helping the terrorists to go and fight put on free flights for these would be fighters . but I doubt their would be one getting on the plane

Syria minister: US strike on Syria 'would benefit al-Qaeda'

Haystack - "The public taken as a whole are ignorant, aggressive and generally wrong about almost everything." or in other words, people who don't agree with your views!:-)

john Kerry wiping barmys arse Obama is a joke

The public have been proved to be wrong time and time again. When you get the public view then you get the average view. The average is always wrong.

HOW TO AMUSE OLDER PEOPLE!

hays . plonker

Haystack - Talking to you is like trying to knit fog. Unbelievable you really are.
