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.

it's the 28% t/o that's scary, albeit that the weather is vile and the result (winner) a foregone conclusion

I agree cynic, it's the 28% that sends out the biggest message.

Yep but as Hays often says its the trend that counts, and the trend is for labour.

Look you cant have it both ways.

In fact Cyners think about 10 years from now and the traditional Tory pensioner voter will be wiped out. Obviously natural causes.

What are the Tories going to do???????????

Most young middle class vote labour. And thats a fact. (if I can find the memo)

Doodles is right, I dont often support him but its normally the government of the day that leads to frustration with MPs.

Lets face it a Camels bum as got more appeal than the present Tory party.

And what do you have a against camels bums gf?

Well Id rather have a Cows bum.

And that way I know im staying hetro. (nothing against gays by the way)

Hays I saw this and immediatly thought of you.........

Right off down the pub, well the only pub here these day,...........tories cuts again.

Just wondering if the 2 cats will follow me, they dont like rain, mind I havent been out for a while so they will be thirsty.

Hoping her indoors as some munch ready when I return.

Next week guys, see yer.

The real trend at the by election was Liberals down 17% and UKIP up 14%

The real trend was the torrid party rejected once again.

The real trend is that the general public are totally fed up with politicians and each year fewer and fewer people are bothering to vote.

I am fed up with state intervention and central government management and manipulation of the economy!

This government is worse than the last lot!

I have to say that the flooding is bring in some better news reports from the usual corrupt TV press...makes a change instead of the mainly labour propaganda from so-called free speech people (believe that you're in a dream world)....

No government has been worse than the last lot. They took the gold medal for spending, taxing and trouble making.


In his ten years as Prime Minister, Tony Blair has introduced a new law every three-and-a- quarter hours, new research reveals.

Since 1997, an average of 2,685 laws have been passed every year - a 22 per cent rise on the previous decade.

They have covered subjects ranging from the importing of bed linen to the evaluation of statistics on labour costs.

The figure does not include European Union laws which also affect Britain - last year, 2,100 of those were passed, bringing the total to 4,785 or 13 every day, according to legal publishers Sweet & Maxwell.

Of the laws, 98 per cent were brought in by statutory instruments, rather than Acts of Parliament. The procedure allows less time for debate by MPs than the tabling of a Bill.

The statutes themselves have become longer, with five Acts passed last year taking more than 100 pages to explain, three of them more than 200, another above 300, another above 500 and one more than 700 pages long.

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Oliver Heald said: "Tony Blair and Gordon Brown think the answer to everything is to make a new law.

"But, after creating thousands of new laws, violent crime has doubled."

A spokesman for the Bar Council, which represents barristers in England and Wales, said: "Politicians often equate legislation with action.

"But the growing complexity of the law is the main reason trials are taking longer and costing more."

And ignorance is no excuse.

Haze.

What are you wandering on about now.

Please restart your medication or preferably read the 5 Acts of government in rapid decline.

(The Fall from Grace of the torids and their Kippers.)

It wouldn't be so bad Freddy boy if you weren't so blatantly leftie inclined and a little bit fairer...are you one of their corrupties ?...(new word just invented by myself)..

I don't think those spongers in the Thames valley should be having the state's army and social services mopping up for them.

They bought the houses and chose to live where they do.

They should pay their own way or work a bit harder in order to do so.

They will be asking to have bottle bloody water next delivered and repair of the minor roads and pathways.

And I hear they are asking for police protection of their vacant properties, taking them away from stop and search activities.

They stopped me the other night after a few pints, just because I had a red shirt on and carried a flag.


I hadn't had a drop, but they had.


It is strange to me that "state support", is only necessary for many when they themselves are "imperiled", even though they may still think it not necessary for others because they are less "deserving".

It is only when they notice theirs own "ineptitude" in certain situations that they opinions are confronted that they may review them and advocate "state" intervention in certain situation.

If money had been spent on the "infrastructure" (water defences included) and kept more employed and drawing less unemployment benefits then "some" of the present problems may have been addressed.

I have experienced first hand so called "communism" and don't advocate it as a system, but it has some useful features, but I am certainly not a Darwinian neo-fascist tory.

Also, I see there are advantages to restrained capitalism, but the extremes have to be public and contained. The system should be for the general improvement for all in a "society".

Rant over.

Have a warm weekend.
