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.

It will be interesting to see the polls over the next few weeks?

Interesting how Miliband is tightening up his party machinery.

How popular was Disraeli in his early days?

An unfortunate example eh? Disraeli was one of the architects of the Conservative party. Maybe there could be some similarity with Miliband as they both had Victorian ideas.

Hays,

Yes, but he was successful politician besmirched and ridiculed by the political "opposition" and in the media of that day.

And I have a "feeling" Ed is going to do similarly.

He engages his brain before making policy.

The reactions by the con party attack dogs in the media can be seen as indicators of your party's fears.

Iran seems to be heading towards verifiable peaceful use of nuclear technology. If that continues and results in Iran abandoning nuclear weapons (I am not sure if they were developing them anyway). will that prompt Israel to give up their nuclear weapons that they have has since 1967. If not, then why not?

i'm quite certain that iran is and will continue to develop their own nuclear weaponry ..... as far as israel is concerned, iran is far from the only enemy, so there's as much likelihood of those being abandoned as fred's lion and lamb lying down together

Talking of Polls Fred just look at this, the ultra right wing one.........

UK - YouGov/Sun poll: CON 32%, LAB 41%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 11%

Labour now 9 points in front of the Tories.

Hays..... Cynic .......WHY has it gone so wrong for the Tories????????????????????????

Want to comment on the TREND Hays............... LOL.

No hiding now Tory Boys.

PRIVATE SHARE HOLDERS HAVE NO CLOUT
BARCS INVESTOR RELATIONS HAVE MADE JENKINS A LIAR
they will not answer e mails about the performance of the bank
while filling their own bank balance crooks .

The trend is still with the Conservatives. These poll results are just blips due to the conference season. You will see how they change when the Conservatives have their conference.

Doesn't matter who wins the election, the Masons will remain in power!!

Yet another conspiracy theory.

sticky - you know my view of polls and you poll-trolls, so i see no need to repeat myself

Talking of Polls - can you believe this Poll?

No its not Shortie is spot on.

Im a masonic lodge member.

I got a speeding ticket about 10 years ago. Just one pint and a conversation with a fellow member and I never heard about it again.

Theirs cases that would shock you Hays. No kidding.

Notice how its all gone quiet over the boys home and the ex tory cabinet members.

WHY.

Theirs sinister things going on in the background in this country that nobody knows about. Remember what the queen said to her butler.

What did the Queen say to her butler? Which Queen, which butler?

All the party leaders come from the same background and move in the same circles, they just have different ideas within that circle. That same circle has always remained in power and always will do as long as it maintains the belief that we as the people are free to elect and vote for whoever we choose. If we could vote for who got into the likes of Eaton and who taught and shapped those attending our schools then we would really have a choice. Instead we have a system cut from the same cloth, those doing the cutting ultimatly govern not the peice of cloth voted into power.

You mean what that idiot of a butler claimed she said. It is a bit like what goldfinger claims about this and that.

In past elections whoever Rupert Murdoch supported normally came out on top. How many people secretly voted for who they were told to under the pretense they were making the decision?
