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.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Hays read the poll again,it as already affected the polls and its only early days.

The Harman story was a real scandal.

The UK polling report site has this comment
lThe Labour lead of nine points is higher than YouGov have shown of late, but as ever, don’t get too excited about individual polls apparently showing movement, more often than not they’ll turn out to just be normal sample variation.

I am beginning to think that you are as silly as Fred. It is so pleasant not seeing his posts.

You lot have been going at it hammer and tongs since daybreak - time to chill out chaps, or is it just a question now of who is going to have the last word?!!!!!!!!!!!

sticky - i didn't follow last week's crap either ....both episodes are really just smear campaigns from one side or the other, though certainly HH handled it very badly

David Moyes - Football Genius! :O)

I think Hays is getting hazier.

But I think Patrick Rock has not been charged.

I think it preferable to wait and see whether he is and whether he is tried and found guilty or innocent.

Otherwise we are lowering ourselves to the same level as some in the newspaper world and some elements of the tory party.

If he has a case to answer then so be it, but I dislike lynch mobs.

However, if it comes to trial then it will probably be in the public arena at the time of the next election.

As far as Harriet Harman is concerned I do not think she has to apologise for anything regarding her relationship with the said group.

Because you are in the audience it doesn’t mean that agree with the views, or actions of the speakers.

It was a smear attempt by a malevolent group to smear her and it has backfired.

Just to reassure Haze that he is on the the wrong planet:

Topline figures are CON 30%(-2), LAB 38%(+5), LDEM 10%(+1), UKIP 11%(-3)


But I am sure he has some excuse or explanation for them.

He will have to check first with party headquarters for the new mantra.

The cabinet, and what they do all day....

That looks more similar to the shadow cabinet.

Both in reality I suspect.

PM accused of cover-up over aide
BY PRESS ASSOCIATION, 5 MARCH 2014 1.02AM. UPDATED: 12.53AM.


Prime Minister David Cameron has been accused of cover-up after a top aide was arrested on suspicion of possessing child pornographyPA
David Cameron is facing claims of a Downing Street cover-up after a senior aide was arrested on suspicion of possessing child porn.

Patrick Rock resigned quietly nearly three weeks ago after officials were made aware of a potential offence.

But Labour MPs have been asking why Number 10 only disclosed the news in response to questions from the Daily Mail yesterday.

Backbencher John Mann said it was "mysterious" that the situation had not emerged earlier.

"There has been a bodged attempt at media manipulation which is wholly unacceptable from 10 Downing Street," he said. "Of course they should have revealed it proactively."

Speaking on a visit to the West Midlands yesterday, Mr Cameron said he had been "profoundly shocked" by the allegations against Mr Rock.

"I don't think it would be right to pre-emptively brief out a criminal investigation and that's why we did not do that," he said.

"But as soon as questions were asked, as questions would inevitably be asked, we have given very full and straightforward answers, which is absolutely the right way to answer this.

"I've been clear right along and I was told about this issue pretty much as soon as it was discovered and I have been very clear we must handle this in an absolutely correct way and I am satisfied that is what No 10 Downing Street has done."

The Prime Minister's spokesman confirmed that No 10 was first made aware of the alleged offence regarding child abuse imagery on the evening of February 12.

The matter was immediately referred to the National Crime Agency and Mr Rock resigned his position as deputy head of the policy unit. In the early hours of the morning of February 13 he was arrested at his home in London.

Mr Rock has been an influential figure behind the scenes in the Conservative Party for decades, and made three unsuccessful bids to become an MP. He is reported to have been in line for a peerage.

In the 1970s, he was credited with coining the Tory slogan "Cows moo, dogs bark, Labour puts up taxes".

In 2011 he was drafted in by Mr Cameron - a fellow adviser to former home secretary Michael Howard in the 1990s - to beef up the Downing Street policy unit.

Prior to his arrest and resignation, Mr Rock had been involved in drawing up Government policy on internet porn filters.

It has emerged that the adviser was the subject of an unrelated complaint of "inappropriate behaviour" towards a female civil servant 18 months ago.

Downing Street said the complaint against Mr Rock had been dealt with "very seriously" in accordance with the Cabinet Office's human resources policy but declined to give further details.

The spokesman said the harassment allegation was "in no way related to the arrest".

"The issue was appropriately resolved with the consent of and in consultation with the individual who raised the issue," he added.

On the other hand, he might have been doing research into the porn industry as per his brief.
