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.

Fred
You seem to think that only the Labour party can do things for altruistic reasons. That is clearly wrong. Thatcher was always concerned to do thing for people. She sent to a state school and came from modest means. Cameron, IDS, Osborne, Ken Clarke and many others are doing thing for the benefit of the UK public. Their methods are different. Nobody enters politics just to benefit rich people.

The Harry Potter story

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wear-11011279

Hays,

You have read too many H Potter stories and believe them.

Its just magic.

Re-read my postings.

I think the motivations from joining a labour, lib/dem or con party are different for many of the groups who join them and influence by parental and school environments.

I think the likely member of the tory party has had a more blinkered and directed upbringing than those of the other parties.

That doesn't mean the tory party is depleted of altruists, but many of its membership are insular and less than empathetic to the situations of others.

Of course in the past and still, the Tory party have had leaders and members who have considered the total society with its bewildering complications and tried and have acting accordingly, but the present hierarchy seems devoid of such necessary understanding and actions, but applying antiquated ideology.

They are more involved in presentation.

fred - so would you not describe your "friend" GF as frighteningly blinkered and prejudiced?

More like, needs a white stick.

Po Face, I dont give a damm what you and porkies teller Hays says or thinks.

The fact is you got your ass wupped this afternoon and RAN AWAY like a coward as Tanker as suggested you did with your parents many moons ago.

I would have thought youd have hardened up a little since those days, obviously not.

But if you wish along with Hays to lie through your teeth please go ahead.

Who is Harry Potter?

Cynic.

No.

Think you are a little like GF yourself.

Immoderate, but his taunts are interesting.

But have sympathy for the majority of his positioning and when he is being serious is informative.

But I recognise some of his frustrations.


Recognising a problem is only the first step to resolving it.

Hays,

Is a different matter.

GF - don't you think you should self moderate your post 30238?

Would that be hate of or by the left wing?

Populus’s twice weekly poll earlier today had topline figures of CON 36%, LAB 39%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 7%. Unlike the YouGov polls since Ed Miliband’s conference speech Populus has not shown any sort of boost for the Labour party

skinny your post above........

GF - don't you think you should self moderate your post 30238? .....ends


Certainly not.

See this insulting post by cynic not only on my children but also my parents.......

cynic - 30 Sep 2013 16:15 - 30213 of 30243

what a total waste of space you are, and assuredly not worth wasting breath upon .... i hope that any children you may have at least have learnt to think for themselves and do not just spew and thus perpetuate their father's nonsense and blind and unfounded prejudices, which i fear you may have learnt from your own................. ends.

An eye for an eye skinny, if Cynic wants to get personal which he has done all afternoon today, I can fight fire with fire.

If he continues these personal insults he should have the balls to take them back, no matter how unfortunate it is for the thread and board.

Yawn, yawn. Why are the raving lefties so boring?

Labours figure of 39% of the poll would give Labour an overall majority in parliament.

It is a long way to an election with constantly improving economic conditions. People will realise that only one party can give a referendum on Europe. Labour won't commit to it. The Libs don't want it. UKIP won't have the power to do anything.

Ohh stop being pompous and foolish.

How long will it be before the Conservatives are in front and pulling away?

Well, if house prices keep on rising, even Cameroon is in with a chance.


Even better if they dumped him and got Boris on board.

Newsnight tonight exposes Big big rift between Osbourne and I D Smith.

Now we know why Osbourne HAD to make the speech about the long term unemployed today.

I D Smith knows its a stupid policy and not cost effective ie, turning up at job centre every day. He knows hes already had to put back Universal Credit 4 months and computer system is in a real mess.

Ohhh dear.
