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.

This what happens to socialist leaders.

François Hollande hits new lows

François Hollande's popularity now stands at 15 per cent amongst French public

Francois Hollande is the most unpopular French president in history

11:50AM GMT 14 Nov 2013

François Hollande's approval rating has hit new lows, shedding six percentage points in a month with only 15 per cent of respondents now backing the beleaguered French president, a poll has found.

The finding is in line with other recent polls which have shown Mr Hollande's standing with voters tumbling after a brief upturn at the end of the summer.

Asked how they judged Mr Hollande's actions as president three per cent of respondents to the YouGov poll for the Huffington Post and said they had a very positive opinion and 12 per cent said it was positive.

Seventy-six per cent said they had a rather negative or very negative opinion. Nine per cent would not comment.

The downturn follows the exposure of record unemployment, rising taxes and weak growth amid a growing nationwide feeling of despondency due to job cuts and factory closures.

Al-Qaeda-linked rebels have said sorry for decapitating a fellow extremist by accident.

Militant Islamist rebels in Syria linked to al-Qaeda have asked for "understanding and forgiveness" for cutting off and putting on display the wrong man's head

Knife-wielding members of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham were shown in a video triumphantly displaying a bearded head before a crowd.

But the head was recognised from the video as belonging to a member of Ahrar al-Sham, a Sunni Islamist rebel group that often fights alongside ISIS.

After inquiries, an ISIS spokesman admitted he was the wrong man.

Sheepishly explaining the error rebels made reference to a story in which Mohammed said Allah would forgive a man who killed a believer in error.

The news comes after Al-Qaeda took to Twitter to show users how to "kindly" cut off a human head... because they don't want to seem violent.

An article in the Lebanese daily al-Safir examined al-Qaeda's increasing use of social media networks and media technology in spreading its ideology.

I think the clothes peg should be on the other's nose.

With a a note saying the shiny arse is in town.

“The Indians have successfully launched a rocket to Mars,” says Rod Liddle in The Sun. “This, despite being unable to feed half their population. It is now seemingly compulsory for all recipients of UK aid to send rockets pinging across the solar system. Perhaps the Indian rocket will bump into Nigeria’s on its way? Yep, they’ve got one too.The bloke heading India’s space programme said spending billions on a rocket is good for their morale.Yeah, sure. Not for the morale of every UK taxpayer, though.”

Nor the starving in India.

Check the cost of the recent rocket. I bet the Americans wish they could do it for the stated price.

Check the cost against technical advances in the overall economy by the research and investment going into the the space adventure and the overall benefits to the economic development.

Perhaps, they may be should still drive a donkey and cart or a push bike, rather than a car.

The spin offs are the important gains.

Have you been to India, Fred? They have cows walking down the high streets there - and I'm talking about the four-legged ones! I just think, when I vote for whichever party I would like to govern this country, that it doesn't give them the right to chuck any part of my tax contributions to an overseas country. If I choose to send money to India, Rwanda, Nigeria etc.etc.etc. then I can do that of my own choice. Personally I would rather see my tax contributions contributing to the main problems in my own country - particularly our NHS.

Baroness Warsi talking sense for a change

WOW thats a first alders.

No never been there.

But my sister's partner and her help to set up a "charity" school there.

The AID is not simply giving money away, but trying to wash the stench of colonisation away and hoping at some time in the future for favourable "trade".

My guess is that India is deflating the real cost of the trip to Mars. They want appear to be doing it very cheaply for a host of reasons, with just one being the possible backlash regarding aid payments. I have heard a number of scientists expressing doubt about India's costings.

I noticed it didn't mention who was carrying out most of the persecution. It's also funny reading some of the comments to see that people think it's only Christians that are in danger and that Atheists have nothing to worry about.

Why didn't those Labour ministers under Blair and Brown like Jack Straw speake out about the problems of uncontrolled imigration , we all know now that Blair and certain people close to him kept it secret , but I bet Camball and Manelson knew.
