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.

at least those numbers are prob quite reliable - i.e. ex ST

immigration benefits
no earthly point in asking fossy for his opinion, because you'll never get an answer ....

however, from a number of articles that i have read, there is significant support from a number of the more important eu members for a complete overhaul of this "benefits for immigrants" system

i also noticed that apparently the german constitution and courts allows germany to reject domestically any eu directives that are deemed not be in the country's interests

The conservative polling figure stays at about 31%/32%. The others change almost daily. Labour's rise is at the expense of Libs and UKIP.

however, unless i'm much mistaken, if 40% is reflected across the country at an election, then that party gets an overall majority

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

btw, an interesting article in ST yesterday re the boss of howdens being seriously harrassed by members of unite in his home town and outside his house .... apparently howdens want to move their distribution form A to B which means some DHL drivers at the current location will lose their jobs - or along those lines
the disturbing part is that macclusky is encouraging his members to act in this way (surprise surprise; let's have the flying pickets back!) but em says absolutely zero (no surprise, no surprise) ..... one assumes em is worried about upsetting one of his major paymasters

I wouldn't have thought Old Lab would gain much in the way of support from UKippers.

Cyners, you missed out big time on AVAP.

I told you so.

quite possibly or even probably, but it is a rash man who chases every damn thing, especially as i am no day trader, nor wish to be one :-)

anyway, am more than happy with EZJ and TCG, both of which i already hold

btw, did you ever buy RTN or FXT like i'm sure i suggested?
merely a question, with no side - promise :-)

Thats not the point Cyners.

My system churned it out with a very big positive score.

I dont chase anything bar a bird with big tit-ys and stockings and suspenders wanting it. LOL.

3 corkers today you missed.

Its Logic Cyners pure logic.

why is it not the point you silly old bugger?
yes, AVAP does look interesting having just burst into new all-time high ground, but like i said, it's a rash man who chases every recommendation - and both RTN and FXT have and continue to do me very nicely .... as does BLNX come to think of it

Right Ill have a look at RTN and FXT but please Cyners make sure I am aware.

You dont seem to have done this, i have.

Our e- mails work now so you could kindly please.

cheers.gf.

Has this suddenly become a share ramping thread? In that case, you guys should buy shedloads of COMS. :-)

Bad news for you. Guardian for tomorrow morning

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jan/13/support-labour-shrinks-economic-recovery-icm-poll

Support for Labour shrinks as faith in recovery grows, ICM poll finds

Labour drops two points to 35% - three points ahead of Tories – as more people express optimism about their financial position

Support for Labour is sinking as faith in the UK's economic recovery builds, according to a new Guardian/ICM poll.

Ed Miliband's party drops two points on the month to stand at 35%, which is just three points ahead of David Cameron's Conservatives, who stand still on 32%. Labour's lead in the Guardian's respected 30-year polling series is thus squeezed to three percentage points, down from five last month and eight points in November.

The Liberal Democrats climb two, to reach 14%, and Ukip edges up one, to stand at 10%.

The scores of both the main government and opposition parties are now back to where they were last August, before Miliband's popular conference promise to freeze domestic fuel bills.

The economic news since has mostly been positive since, with falling inflation as well as unemployment, which could reduce the resonance of Labour's "cost of living crisis" pitch.

UK - YouGov/Sun poll:

CON 33%
LAB 38%
LDEM 11%
UKIP 12%

No way are the LIB/DEMS on 14% even you know that Hays.

These rouge polls occur every now and again.

a rouge poll?
i thought that was a euphemism for an old trollop in 17th century!

europe
phew! strong article in today's FT is worth reading .... not exactly pro DC!

Whats the gist?

this is the headline, but the article is worth reading in its own right .... if you're one of the rabid from either side, it won't make much difference

Cameron’s EU referendum gamble has failed
By Janan Ganesh
Eurosceptics keep winning concessions they said were ‘final’ before demanding more

35368 - the trouble with that ICM poll (in the grauniad) is that a mere 1005 people were polled, so all in all, just as meaningless as all other such polls ..... however, if that sort of result is produced consistently, then it certainly indicates that labour is losing its grip, not that it was ever very convincing
