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.

That includes your mate Hays then!!!!!!!!!.

Anyway you cant decide whats right and whats wrong posted on here. Nobody can bar management and they DO MONITOR closely this thread.

Just ignore if you dont know the score.

it assuredly includes your sparring pal hays
by and large i do ignore, but it's a shame that all this nonsense swamps any attempted sensible discussion or debate

"personally, the way things stand, i'ld be surprised if any party gets an overall majority, and even if it does, it is likely to be <10"

I'd agree with that Cynic but also think.

I think that;
1. People don't trust politicians which goes along way to explain why many don't bother to vote.
2. People don't understand politicians or their policies, its abit like trying to check your gas and electricity bill. The numbers never stack up against the charges/savings they claim to have made!
3. Does it really matter who you waste your time voting for, the upper classes are in power always have been and will always look after themselves.

GF - Labour has as much chance of winning a General Election as the other team in red you support has of winning the European Cup! :O)

Flipping heck George you live in Wigan - 15 - 20 mins away from me. Proper folk in Wigan.

Where is Wigan?

It is actually Greater Manchester - I am over the border in Lancashire so to speak but not a lot in distance. It is pretty central to motorways - Preston, Southport, Ormskirk, Warrington, Leigh , Haydock, Liverpool etc., Very nice people and a friendly shopping area. Hope that helps. One could say Hill Billy Land haha. only joking.

Has the tory party become “The party of corruption and Muddy backdoor gate”?

One can now see the need for another Coulson.

I do hope Cameron and his cleaner than clean mates are going to think about pay back any bribes they may have received.

I wonder if any policies were being bought by pals of the "governor"?

"Let's discuss kickbacks over lunch': Tory donor's firm fined £55m over Libor fixing
Traders' emails reveal shocking conspiracy at Icap, the financial company owned by former Conservative treasurer and prominent party donor Michael Spencer - now bankers face 30 years in jail


One of the Conservatives’ most powerful and generous donors is at the centre of a political and financial storm after City watchdogs savaged his firm for its role in the Libor interest-rate fixing scandal.

Icap, the company founded by the former Tory treasurer Michael Spencer, has been fined a total of £55m by regulators on both sides of the Atlantic – £14m in Britain and £41m in the US – while three former employees responsible for the misconduct have been charged in New York with conspiracy to commit fraud and wire fraud. The New Zealand national Darrell Read and Britons Daniel Wilkinson and Colin Goodman face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

The news is particularly uncomfortable for the Conservatives as it emerged on the same day that George Osborne announced he had launched a legal challenge against the European Union’s planned cap on bankers’ bonuses."
