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.

"Gideon Osborne favourite to replace Cameron".. They must be desperate.

Labour has the leadership problem. Not only do they have a useless leader, they have nobody any better. The only one better was beaten in their leader election by the union block vote. Now wasn't that appropriate and ironic.

Will be a rough week for Labour as usual during the TU conference. Tend to get polls dropping for a week. Nothing to worry about as the right wing press try to savage labour over the week.

Hays,,

Calm down, dear boy.

Calm down, dear boy.

You are demonstrating your fears.

What are the odds being offered on Wavey Davey the U-Turn.

(I did write turn.)

That particular poll is showing Conservatives up 1 point an Labour down 1 point compared to the previous one. The trend of all the polls is towards the Conservatives. It is looking like a clear majority coming their way.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh look at this Fred..........

UK - YouGov/Sunday Times poll: CON 34%, LAB 38%, LDEM 9%, UKIP 12% // 26% approve of the Government's record to date, 58% disapprove

Tell me Fred DID Haystack leave the bit on the end off in bold on his post????????????????

Should be around post 28962 t0 28964.

As you know I have the con man filtered.

You know how these Tories lie and cheat.

It always been the same Fred for the last 10 years or so, strangely partys on their weekly conferences drop points in the polls.

sticky - why do you squelch people? .... it's almost as if you're afraid of what they'll say or feel bullied by them, which is of course nonsense ... personally, i have never ever squelched anyone, not even that most obnoxious piece of detritus MRSI nor even the Village Idiot, who is so laughably abusive, though shame he takes up so much space

Is Haystack still cheating lieing and manipulating figures Fred.????????????????????

Was tempted to have a sneak look but naah cant be assed hes an ignorant twerp not worth bothering with.

REMEMBER........

18 months then to change that around......any chance?.........no chance at all.

Just a 1/4tr of the electorate think the tories have a good record to date.

Ed Miliband Snubbed By Third Of Labour Voters

More than 30% say Mr Miliband should not lead Labour into the next election, in yet another blow after a dismal summer.
Only two out of every ten voters are satisfied with the Labour leader's performance, according to a new poll.

Among those who voted for Labour in 2010, 34% said he should not lead the party into the 2015 General Election and just 46% said he should.

The ICM poll carried out for the Daily Mirror also found 42% of voters are dissatisfied with how he is leading the party, with half that figure (21%) satisfied.

Among Labour voters, 45% said they were satisfied and 31% dissatisfied.

Lol. What ever you put up against the Cons, Labour are just as bad. :-))

What did I say only 2 days ago about unemployment ...... I said double the present figures to get the correct rate.

Here we are..........

Unemployment Figure Could Be Double, TUC SaysThe union organisation says a further 2.26 million people who want a job are not being classified as unemployed.

http://news.sky.com/story/1138688/unemployment-figure-could-be-double-tuc-says

DC what you have to remember though is about 100 Tory rebels want Camoron out.

Although some Labour MPs want Milly out its no where near that figure for the Tories.

REMEMBER it wasnt the public who got rid of MAGGIE, it was her OWN PARTY.

Under Conservative Party rules a leadership election is triggered if 15% of Conservative MPs call for a no confidence vote in the leader. Something like 50 votes needed. I just wonder with as you say 100 want DC out, why they have not given him his marching orders. Something does not add up ?

Unemployment figures as we have said in the past will be fiddled by Labour or the Cons.

Same argument from the Cons about Labour fiddling the unemployment figures.

Teresa May on New Labour's fiddled unemployment rate (17Mar10)

DC well their were 81 EU dissenters, so like you say something doesnt add up. Have they fiddled the figures again or have none of them the balls to take him on?.

Strange as it was reported last week 5 prominent members were discussing a leadership bid.

Perhaphs its just a matter of timing and it will rear its head very soon at the Party Confrence.

Maggie T started the fiddling of unemployment figures when she placed half of the unemployed on Incapacity Benefit.

New tougher guide lines need then to be put in place, like below. Mind you we would have no Mp's left. :-))
