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.

Does anyone know how low the vote take has to go before the dim/libs start falling apart?

The UK economy is growing faster than previously estimated, according to the latest official figures.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product was up 0.8% in the July-to-September period compared with the previous quarter, confirming its previous estimate.
But it revised its growth figures for earlier quarters.
This means the estimated annual growth rate has now risen from 1.5% to 1.9%, a revision that has surprised economists.
A Treasury spokesman said: "Today's data show that the recovery has been stronger than previously thought and that the government's long-term economic plan is working.

It would be an error if tories got a higher %.

There can't be that many voters daft enough to do that.

Max.

The only straw the Lib/dems have to hang onto are themselves.

Re-read the ONS data to-day, not what I can see!

All the Tories have to do, is to 'UKIPise' about four of their policies and they'll walk it.

Where to?

"Not all data was positive today though as Britain's deficit with the rest of the world widened to £20.7bn from £6.2bn in the third quarter, equivalent to 5.1% of GDP - its biggest share of GDP since 1989.

Data also released this morning showed that UK consumer confidence deteriorated this month. The GfK Consumer Confidence Index fell from -12 to -13 in December, surprising analysts who had expected a small up-tick to -11."

LONDON (Reuters) - The British public's expectations for inflation over the next 12 months eased again in December, according to a survey published on Friday.

Inflation expectations for the year ahead fell to 2.6 percent from 2.7 percent in November, a survey by polling company YouGov showed.

Expectations had hit a two-year high of 3.2 percent in October.

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has said the jump in expectations in October was probably pushed up by news of big rises in gas and electricity bills.

MAX.

The thing missing in the Blair portrait is a rope.

Cheerful news for Manuel and the Hazyone.

I have seen that stupid Moneyweek video before. It is designed into frightening you into taking out a subscription.

How many subscriptions have you taken out?

It is intended for gullible people like you.

Unless you read it, I would think it difficult to form an opinion.

Unless, of course, as it often seems, your opinions are preformed hand downs from the CCHQ.

But, heaven forbid, sometimes Manuel and you seem more brainwashed than members of the old worn out CPRF.

Happy Xmas.
