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.

Go for it Manuel!

Con camp followers "humane" responses to problems:

But of course the standards and thoughts of the tory leadership is that the rest of you are in it altogether, while we are in "clover".

How much have you donated to become a party follower and led by the nose.

David Cameron and Tory cronies get £1.2m from City fatcats

The Coalition has hammered the poor but slashed taxes for bankers and hedge fund bosses


Rich pals: Chancellor George Osborne has received £270,000 from fatcats

David Cameron and other top Tory ministers have received £1.2million in donations from bankers and City fatcats since they became MPs.

The PM regularly singles out MPs who have taken union funding during Commons clashes and claims it influences their questions.

Yet he and 12 other Tories in the Cabinet accepted cash from financiers to fund their Westminster offices and constituency operations.

And the Coalition has hammered the poor but slashed taxes for bankers and hedge fund bosses.

Labour’s Michael Dugher claimed the figures showed, “it’s the same old Tories under David Cameron”.

He said: “A handful of millionaires in the City are still bankrolling the Conservative Cabinet.

“Little wonder the Tories won’t stand up for ordinary working people, just the priviliged few.”

Prime Minister DAVID CAMERON has received £366,823 of fatcat dosh since he became an MP in 2001.

His rich backers included Ken Costa, ex-boss of Lazard Brothers; disgraced hedge fund chief Lewis Chester; and broker Michael Spencer.

Chancellor GEORGE OSBORNE, also elected in 2001, took £270,856 from backers including another hedge fund boss Michael Hintze – dubbed the “Godfather of Tory donors”; former Goldman Sachs banker Sir Simon Robertson; and carpet tycoon Lord Harris of Peckham.

And Education Secretary MICHAEL GOVE, elected in 2005, raked in £188,000 from the likes of Jeremy Isaacs, a boss at doomed bank Lehman Brothers; and Manro Haydan Trading – once run by crooked metals trader Marc Rich.

I have no sympathy for the miners. It was all self induced pain. They allowed themselves to be led by Scargil who didn't even ballot his members. They took on a far more determined person, who had prepared for a fight. Scargill's agenda was to bring down the government and further his communist ideals. It was the final battle in the war against the dark forces and all they had was a busted flush. More pits closed under Wilson. It was a dying industry.

Headline in the Daily Express - "Roger Federer expecting third child". I knew the guy was talented, but ---------------------!

I see Ian Brady has dimentia _ sad!

It is interesting to watch the Tory Party or Old Conservative party implode.

Labour should just sit back and watch.

(I like the quiet game.)

hays - as any union member will tell you, it's very difficult indeed to vote against the leadership, not least because of severe intimidation ...... BA cabin crew came under this sort of pressure a few years back

further, it is compulsory to join the union if you want to work in certain fields

It is in the practical nature of sheep to get slaughtered.

Fred , sorry to bring you such bad news.

It was bad news for Gordon Brown, however, who was judged to be the worst of Britain’s 13 modern leaders

How did Tony Blair get such a high score

they forgot to poll the troops or anyone outside the labour party :-)

A group says Britain was a day away from Civil War Rubbish
Thatcher lied ? Why would she want to tell the people she was fighting againist her plan's to defeat them.

I wonder who the other 12 worst leaders were. Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock and Harold Wilson must be on the list. Miliband is surely a contender.

Alders just been confirmed she had a blacklist of 75 pits that were to be closed and members of army dressed as police officers.


She always denied the blacklist now its been found on the documents she knew all along and lied to parliament.

Lies lies and more lies.

This news is getting bigger as the day goes on and several Tory bank benches have expressed severe concern on the effects it will have on the 2015 election.

Meanwhile the top Liberals are meeting this afternoon to discuss their response.

The surprising thing is how well the Conservatives have done in the polls over the last year. They finished much higher in the polls than they started the year. There has been cuts, austerity, benefits changes, bedroom tax, fears over double dip recession which didn't happen, fears over rising unemployment which didn't happen, fears over declining GDP which also didn't happen, pressure on living standards and a few other worries. The net result had been that labour is only slightly ahead at between 4 and 8 percent in the polls.

Just imagine where they will be at the end of this year as we get better economic news as the years wears on.

Hays,

I didn't realise you had changed your name.

Very sad.

Hays,

Many of the "cuts" and their effects have not been realised yet!

Reminds me of a remark made to me over 60 years ago about tories by an old man that, "the Tories are all liars, damned liars, think of that every time you come to negotiate with them".

Any doubts I had at the time have subsequently been removed.


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


I think he saw the success of a tory icon in this way.

I don't know what you are getting excited about , a lot of it as already been hinted at in the past .

Labour under Tony Blair had a secret plan to flood the UK with mass imigration , secret from most of his own cabinet not to mention Iraq

It's what they all do, con and lie to the very people they are supposed to represent.
2517

Not to the people they really represent.
