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.

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.

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. :-))

New criminal offence to stop NHS hospitals 'fiddling' figures to be introduced

GF.

Yes. Hays does appear to distort the figures and interpretation of the facts seems more than wayward.

Perhaps, he has learnt the trick from Osborne and Wackey Dave.

The reason nobody will dispose of Cameron is that he has lead them to disaster and none of his crew want to be responsible for losing the next election.

The present tory party blame game of it is not our fault, it was "mummy and daddy's" or anybody elses when they wander from one disaster to another, is now being applied to its own party and Dave.

They cabinet must have had this pattern of behaviour "burnt" into them when they were turfed out of home and into Eton for surrogate parenting.

The important bit about unemployment may be double is the bit at the end, "says TUC".

The UK Labour Party faces an election meltdown like that experienced by its Australian counterpart unless it stops its "squabbles" with the unions, leader Ed Miliband has been warned.

Dave Prentis, general secretary of the public sector union Unison, said the party had to "get its act together".

Mr Miliband wants to make changes to funding, saying they will boost party membership and make it more effective.

But Mr Prentis dismissed some of his ideas as "living in cloud cuckoo land".

Huff and puff.

It will blow out in a couple of weeks. There is no comparison with the failure on the international stage by Cameron.

I wonder what his next failure will be.

But, Hays be careful or he may blame you.

The difference between Labour and the con party is that while Labour has its fights in public the con party faithful stab each other in the back with smiles on their faces in the dark.

Just realised, that John Redwood would be your man for the remnants of the present tory party.

It is a bit of a shame as at least once upon time some of the tory party could be respected for some of their values. or at least holding differing views.

You can't distract attention that Miliband is as doomed now as he was when he became leader. He is the leader that his party didn't want.

Complete carp.

And Cameroon is the leader the country didn't want.

MK..

Doesn't want.



Nobody, other than Hay's wants him.


Even Putin thought he was a lousy waiter.

lol

What stops you voting then Fred ? You to me never have a good word to say about DC or the Cons. Very rarely if ever comment on the matching sometimes far worse comments/actions of the Labour party. Certainly very rarely criticise the Labour party. You come across as an ardent Labour supporter to me. So what puts you off about Labour that stops you putting a cross on the ballot paper. Are you frightened of their policies? Something does not add up? Because if you was so against the Cons to the point you are, you would be first in the voting queue. Never been able to weigh you up.

Ps I will vote Conservative
