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.

"People may criticise IDS but he is genuinely concerned with social welfare and trying to help people, although he may not come across that way. He is is one of the Conservatives who is closest to traditional Lib values."
H/S, You constantly post so much Political nonsense on here, with the above being one good example.

No, you didn't say it was trending. You actually suggested the topic was reaching 'boiling point' (which is tantamount to the same thing).
But, what you actually meant to say, was that you and your Labour activist mates are busy talking about George Osborne, but that you're in a very small minority and nobody else really cares less about him and would rather talk about Justin Bieber instead.

If he was genuinely concerned he could let out some of them bedrooms at Betsys manor pad to people he as put on the street because of the bedroom tax.

Stan,
Haystack is right. You, Fred and Fishfinger are fighting a lost cause with your socialist drivel. I fully expect the Conservatives to stroll back into No 10 in 2015. It's pretty much nailed on in Westminster circles that they'll win the next election - it's just that northerners tend to be a bit thick and behind the times, so they haven't cottoned on just yet.

I'm a Scot, thank God now living in England and I think Cameron is definitely preferable to either Milliband or Alex Salmond.
Sky News spends so much time reporting about Justin Babyier. What an utter waste of space he is and who cares if he's been pulled up for driving a fast car under the influence of drink or drugs. He's just like loads of our professional footballers - being paid far too much money for zilch talent and making the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Post 35851. Who cares what you think, just crawl back under the stone that you usually hide under or alternatively consider dropping dead.

Hillyone,
How much have you laid on Wavey Dave being PM or tory party leader at the end of 2015?

Have you met IDS? Do you know the good work he does through the Centre for Social Justice in south London that he created under the previous Labour government in 2004? I have met him and been to meetings there as far back as 2005.
http://www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/
The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) was established as an independent think-tank by the Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP in 2004. As Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith spent time in many of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities, with people whose lives were blighted by social breakdown and the poverty it created. As he later wrote, he encountered 'levels of social breakdown which appalled me. In the fourth largest economy in the world, too many people lived in dysfunctional homes, trapped on benefits. Too many children were leaving school with no qualifications or skills to enable them to work and prosper. Too many communities were blighted by alcohol and drug addiction, debt and criminality, many of them with stunningly low levels of life expectancy.’

Well at least he recognised the problem.
His solution is the problem.

Did he have a strange degree from an Italian University?
