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.

To remind Manuel of what Maggie and her tories did for the UK.

fossy - you're not even a class act ..... you're absolute rubbish and your bluff has been called ....

you won't answer re hollande because his left-socialist policies have been shown to be nothing short of disastrous, yet you try to foist these on the gullible here as if "had the present bunch followed even half of hollande's policies, all would be speeding towards valhalla"

in the music hall, the MC would have used his crook to haul you off the stage

try sticking to your cyber chess games, playing left-handed
you can't be any worse at those

HO,Ho,HO!

Another reminder for Manuel of the Conners successes and division of the UK into the haves and "we have taken it away from you".

And the we are all in it together, so roll your B sleeves up and mop the mess up, while I am on holidays in the Cayman Isles with Porky.

I will try and find a suitable cartoon for DB.

Fred, do you suffer from repetitive strain syndrome? :-)

When is Fred going to answer cynic's question instead of posting those stupid cartoons

It is the same old story. Labour appointed ATOS and then complain because the current government is using them. Labour caused the biggest financial mess and then complain how long it takes to clean it up. Labour introduced the bedroom tax for private tennant's and complain when it is applied fairly to all tennant's. Labour complain that the Conservatives will cause mass unemployment and it is falling. Labour complained we would be in triple dip recession and we never had double dip and GDP is increasing.

The latest Pic. Of the Extremist Right Wing Mob that seam to have been let out today:

Surely the Labour front bench are the Muppets.

H/S looks particularly dopey.

So what do these parties stand for? Here are some links:

UKIP

At least UKIP do tell you what they are all about, what they stand for and what they want to change and why.

Labour

Notice how it is not now 'New Labour. It appears to have dramatically moved more towards the left. It is quite hard to find out what they stand for, believe in, disagree with and want to change. I noticed lots of rhetoric and lots of requests for people sign up, become a member and donate.

Conservatives

Wham! The governing party, albeit that they are in coalition with the Lib Dems. And they do try to greet you with a splash of achievement. Plenty of info' to tell you what they stand for and hope to achieve.

Lib Dems

Very clearly, 'Fair but Firm' is what they stand for. But are we convinced? Anyhow, their communication to us on all of it all is easy to find and reasonably clear. Perhaps they need some stronger senior members? How many of them can you name? Or are this lot holding up the Conservatives and preventing them from doing a better job? Next time, will they just form a coalition with Labour just to stay in power?

I can't be bothered to put any more links up. I guess the Greens are for green and the Independents are for independence. :-)

Waitrose is facing a middle-class revolt from shoppers who claim that its free coffee and tea are attracting the wrong type of customers.

The high-end supermarket currently offers a free cup of coffee or tea for customers holding a myWaitrose loyalty card - even if they don't make a purchase.

Angry shoppers used Facebook and Twitter to vent their frustration, arguing that handing out free drinks is turning Waitrose into a soup kitchen and the stores are packed with less affluent customers, which is putting some customers off.

One Facebook user wrote on the supermarket's page: "Please stop the free coffee at Barry Waitrose, it is putting me off shopping in the store people are coming with two cards two free coffee no shopping, with their Tesco bags.

"I think seeing people walking round the store holding on to takeaway cups of tea and coffee looks quite ridiculous and brings down the image of Waitrose until it is just like everywhere else – in which case I might as well shop anywhere else."

Another angry shopper said: "Bit disconcerting seeing people carrying cups of hot coffee around Waitrose whilst they text and push trolleys with their bellies."

GF,


Is it really only 16%?

Could you make the image a little bigger for Manuel and Hays as they wont be able to the margins properly

Nowadays, they seem to be entering their dotage and not seeing thing as they really are.

(That is just an opinion.)

Britain's Supreme Court will be able to over-rule Strasbourg court, says Chris Grayling

Britain’s Supreme Court will be able to over-rule the European Court of Human Rights, under plans being drawn up by the Tories.


Chris Grayling, the Justice secretary, said the Conservative Party will draft new laws to curtail the impact of European human rights legislation on Britain.


Pulling out of the European Convention on Human Rights to give the UK more control over human rights laws was also being considered by the party.


The comments suggest the Conservatives will go into the 2015 general election Britain pulling out of the jurisdiction of the European Court to ensure that human rights judgements are ultimately made by British judges.


Mr Grayling said the final proposals would emerge shortly. He said: “We have to make our Supreme Court supreme. I do not believe decisions about the way this country is governed - we are a democracy after all - should be taken elsewhere.”
