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.

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?

Mr Cameron on Wednesday admitted “we all did too much cosying up to Rupert Murdoch”.

Depends upon the "deal".

“we all did too much cosying up to Rupert Murdoch”.
He never cosied up to me and I had a scarf, a bare chest and my trouser leg rolled up.

David Cameron's five secret meetings with Rupert Murdoch
Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday night disclosed that he had met the Prime Minister on
at least five more occasions than David Cameron has previously admitted.
Interesting to see what Murdoch revenge is going to be.

I'd say Dave has had his head in the sand. He has failed to bring about 'change' or take on maddening regulation, the endless network of agencies making a mare’s nest out of everything from exams to hospital standards — all rooted in the quangos.
He postponed picking a fight with the quangocracy and as such surrendered to the status quo.
But hey, Labour rooted them and they both serve the same circle so ultimatly its business as usual with nothing much lost...
