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.

And yes, good gif, they'll sell their arses to anyone.

I can't be more pleased that Labour has Ed Miliband as leader. It looks like Kinnock all over again.

I think UKIP are the Cons problem - as said above - they can win Conservative seats allowing Labour to be the next government. They have no chance on their own.

Sounds like Ed Balls is going to be bounced to the side lines. lol

I can't see UKIP winning any seats from any party. The danger is splitting the vote and allowing Labour to win a seat. UKIP don't have the level support to start winning their own seats. It was the surge in Lib support that cost the Conservatives an outright victory. Although the Libs surged in popularity it did not translate into many extra seats. The Libs have a rump of safe seats and then they pick up a few depending on how they are favoured with the public. UKIP does not have that solid support to enable them to get seats. They can only get seats by taking them from other parties. That is very unlikely as even the marginal seats of other parties usually have a close second party. That means they will usually have to beat at least two parties in a constituencies. There is no doubting the potential disruptive effect of UKIP in the election, but they are miles away from getting seats. You only have to look at the last election. There was a huge buzz about the Lubs with Clegg being very popular. Their percentage did surge at the election, but they did not get the increased seats that they expected. IIt was that experience that made them even more determined to bring AV, which is what is needed for minority parties like Libs and UKIP.

UKIP does well in the EU elections because they use AV. Without it, they are nowhere.

Sound's like a good idea

Senior police officers back the idea of using privately run cells, in which drunks could be locked up and made to pay for their care, to tackle disorder.

Sounds like an excellent idea aldwickk, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement.

there was someone on the box this morning who commented, "We don't like to call them drunk tanks but welfare centres" ..... typical of our society where you can't call a spade a spade, but instead hide (self-induced) reality behind some soft euphemism

Conservative party membership has halved since David Cameron and 'clique' came to power

Membership of the Conservative Party has nearly halved since David Cameron became Tory leader, figures have disclosed.

According to the website ConservativeHome, the Tories have claimed there are now 134,000 Tory members, down from over 253,000 during the 2005 leadership contest.

The party had earlier this year refused to release the figures amid claims that the number may have fallen below 100,000.

Douglas Carswell, the Conservative MP, has previously warned that the party is “haemorrhaging members because of David Cameron and his “remote clique” at Westminster.

Membership of both the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties has fallen in recent years.

However, with a membership of around 187,537, Labour’s numbers are much better than their Conservative rivals.

Morning Cynic.. Hows your anger management course going? -):

Labour membership has crashed as well as Libs. This is not specific to UK. There is a trend across the EU for membership of all parties to fall. Labour are likely to drop more than most very soon, due to stopping automatic affiliation of trade union members.

angry not that often and if so very briefly or even fleetingly ..... telling it like it is - regularly

cynic, they could always call them - "recovery units for p--s heads". Just a suggestion!

drunk tanks says it in a nutshell and is also suitably belittling for the occupants

"angry not that often and if so very briefly or even fleetingly"... Not according to quite a lot of your posts on here sunbeam -):

your view .... just because i might call you a total arsehole doesn't mean i'm angry

Oh dear another defect… No sense of humour either.
