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.

pm question time ed 10 cam 2 the pm is a liar

did say not one MP would mention the prithard affair they are all in the gutter

Very good that one Max, very good -):

Camoron took a pasting on the NHS and A@E today. Cam 1 Milly 999

Even the speaker BIG JOHN had to ask him TO ANSWER THE QUESTION twice today.

This is an ongoing thing as both cant stand each other. Keeep an eye on it it future sessions.

The news broadcasters seemed to think that Cameron was very well briefed and easily came out on top. Mind you, that is usually the case.

Bunkum, on The Daily Politics that bird read out pro 4 milly, pro Cam 1. Not only that but Andrew Neil made a big issue of the speaker once again having to intervene because cameron not answering questions.

Hays Hays Hays.......

Dont worry Labour in a few weeks time will do the same with Pritchard and take a 20 point lead.

Portsmouth is being sacrificed to save the Union



By Con Coughlin Politics
Last updated: November 6th, 2013





The Government's decision to end centuries of shipbuilding at Portsmouth is going to leave a very nasty taste indeed in the mouths of the hundreds of workers who are about to lose their jobs.

At a time when Portsmouth's shipyard workers are helping to build the two new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, the decision is nothing less than an insult to the huge effort they have made to provide the nation with the two biggest and most powerful surface warships ever constructed for the Royal Navy

By deciding to keep the two BAE Systems shipyards on the Clyde open at the expense of Portsmouth, there can be little doubt that the Government is blatantly pandering to Scottish voters ahead of next year's referendum vote on independence.

Stan - to answer in some way your question of this morning ......

1) i think it obligatory on all (including fred) to cast a vote in some way, especially at a general election

2) all the parties have a fine selection of skeletons in the cupboard as well as pretty flakey minority of MPs in their trains ..... we i'll set that aspect to one side entirely

3) i could invalidate my ballot paper, but to me, that would be copping out

4) ukip- i can't see that this bunch has any substance let alonew much credibility, and their few populist policies smack (for me) as being far too nationalistic and protectionist and worse ...... so not for me

5) labour - i think milliband is a total mupppet, but that is somewhat irrelevant, but it worries me greatly that he and his buddies are far too closely linked (married even) to militant unions like unite ..... if he gets elected, i fear the socialist tilt and (significantly?) raised taxes that will come in his wake ...... so not for me

6) lib/dems - who?

7) conservatives - hardly the most impressive performance since they came to power, but undoubtedly they have managed to bring the economy around, modestly reduced unemployment and seem to be working hard behind the scenes to renegotiate and secure an acceptable deal with EU, culminating in a referendum..... i can't say they deserve a ringing endorsement, but for me, they currently and probably remain the least worst

==============

by the way, i'm not remotely interested as to whether you or fred or any of your other acolytes (or even hays) agrees with my reasoning or not

Cynic,

Firstly I suspect that no one on here has an acolyte as we are all probably our own man to a great extent.

Where politics are concerned I think for most people when it boils down to it, it is about our own short term "Selfishness, Level of Greed" and Generosity towards other people in the rest of the Country.

There lies the difference of many on here and the Country, On this Island the former is most prevalent sadly.

Why? well one good reason is that being an Island we don't "physically" cross mainland European borders like they do in other parts of Northern Europe, so do not experience the higher standard of living in the German and Nordic Countries, which is something to aspire to in "general" I feel.

one man's perception of greed is another's prudent accumulation for a rainy day or another's wish to look after his family

That I'm afraid is a narrow "knee jerk" response on a number of points outlined in my post.

ED: That should read a "Small" number.

I have seen the MP's video. It doesn't seem to be anything illegal and not particularly against parliamentary rules.

don't think so ... it seemed to be the nub, the rest just being fluff

Again your immaturity shows through, along with all your other defects.

I would suggest with all of the skill of the Captain of the Titanic heading into an Iceberg..

Did he go down with his ship?

Stan / Fred - slate me or attempt to belittle me as much as you like .... all water off a duck's back

There is a difference though, the captain of the Titanic didn't scuttle his boat in the same way as Cameron is scuttling the economy and the country.
