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.

One's posh and out of touch, another a weak idiot and the third a liar... just who could the voters be talking about?

Men and women asked to name a word or phrase about three party leaders

Prime Minister David Cameron is seen as posh, out of touch and smug

Labour leader Ed Miliband is a weak idiot, and women said 'slimy'

Lib Dem Nick Clegg viewed as weak, useless, untrustworthy and a liar

Voters think David Cameron is ‘posh and out of touch’, Ed Miliband is a ‘weak idiot’ and Nick Clegg is a ‘spineless liar’, according to a survey.

A major poll by former Tory Chairman Lord Ashcroft reveals that most of the electorate have little good to say about the country’s top politicians.

The unflattering assessments emerged after voters were asked for the first word or phrase that came to mind when they thought of the main party leaders.

I would add Fauxpage resembles a gargoyle.

Bit unfair on Gargoyles.



Just realised why he appeals to his follow Kippers!

effects of immigration
i don't know if any of you chaps brought up the strangely contradictory reports that seem to be around
however, if any of you have been paying attention, did i hear correctly that certainly one of the reports was based on non-eu members immigration?
if i heard correctly, then it indicates to me that the whole of that report, whichever it is, is somewhat suspect

I would like to know what your friend is trying to hide by not releasing the "information".

Think it would be wise to check the page numbers when it is released.

No comment then Fred , thats unlike you

Haystacks

TV channel called RT , It is very interesting and George Galloway is now working for them

fossy - THAT report says that increased immigration has had negligible effect on uk unemployment, whereas the OTHER report said something very different ...... but what interests me far more is if what i think i heard was indeed so, as that is very relevant indeed

surely you know, or if not you, then someone else here

PS - the reports didn't quite compare apples with apples anyway, as they were over different time periods or somesuch

Galloway also works for Press TV which is from Iran .

Its here Cyners. Camoron holding back sensitive reports once again, now where did we hear that yesterday???? clue.........foodbanks AND unemployment numbers but hey once a liar always a liar.

Immigration report 'held back by Downing Street'
Downing Street accused of suppressing a report that shows that immigrants take fewer jobs away from British workers than previously claimed by Theresa May, the Home Secretary

By Keith Perry8:00AM GMT 05 Mar 2014

Downing Street has been accused of suppressing a report which found that immigrants are not preventing as many British workers from getting jobs as previously claimed.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has repeatedly cited research by the Migration Advisory Committee that found 23 British workers are left unemployed for every 100 new arrivals.
But a study by civil servants has concluded that the 'displacement' figure is actually much lower, according to the BBC's Newsnight programme.
The report was apparently completed last year but has not been released amid concerns it could prove politically awkward for ministers.

The disclosures will prove embarrassing for Mrs May and come as figures showed that David Cameron’s pledge to reduce net migration to below 100,000 people a year by 2015 is unlikely to be met.

Internal emails seen by Newsnight showed that one civil servant described the MAC research used by Mrs May was "not robust enough given the wider evidence".
Critics accused Mr Cameron of failing to publish the report because it would challenge Mrs May’s claims.

Julian Huppert, the Liberal Democrat MP, said: "It's obvious that this report should be published as quickly as possible.

"We have to have the right figures, so we can make the right decisions, so that we get the best people here to help our economy."
Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, said: “I don’t know what the new figure is going to be but whatever it is, the report is going to show that there is displacement of British workers because of excess oversupply in the labour market caused by open-door immigration to southern and eastern Europe.
“What we really need to see is what the displacement of UK workers’ jobs from the European Union is because that is the issue.”
David Hanson, the shadow immigration minister, said: "The British people should have information made available to them so they can make a judgement about the impact of immigration on jobs.
"This should be done on the basis of fact, not more empty rhetoric or spin from the Government."

A Government spokesperson said: “Reducing immigration so our economy delivers for people who want to work hard and play by the rules is part of our long-term economic plan to build a stronger, more competitive economy and secure a better future for Britain. We don’t comment on internal government documents.”

Is it not true aswel that Camoron as suppressed details of what had happend to his close aide and friend MR Rock, known as Rock Hard to his fellow aides working on the task of child porn security on the net.

So, if immigrants are not taking the jobs, who is?


Thinks you cant believe daylight out of any of the mainstream party's.

Thats just it, hit the nail on the head Max, thier arent any jobs, just 6 month training courses where trainees (tories call them apprentices)are taken of unemployment figures and transfered to employed figures (you couldnt make it up) and then when finished are pushed on another 6 month course or get a sanction and starve.

Indeed gf.

All these nu jobs created are fiction at best.

Mix it all about, call it something else, a one hour contract that take you off the books for a week.

lovely jubbly....But hence why the social bill keeps going up.

The Nu office of national statistics has opened:

Do they have apprentice scheme at Eton as numerous ex-attenders at that institution never end up in useful employment?

Or are apprentices only for the plebs?

fossy - thge following is the bit you should have highlighted, as it's the bit i heard this morning
“What we really need to see is what the displacement of UK workers’ jobs from the European Union is because that is the issue.”
that is to say, this new report would appear to be about the effect of non-eu immigrants, who are perhaps more likely to be better qualified

i wonder how you would have reacted had this "suppressed" report showed immigrants to be more detrimental to the native uk workforce than had previously been published
i don't actually, as i know full well you would have just scuttled off into a corner and come up with the fact that you can't trust statistics or somesuch

why not the day before.........one of them scared of being called an April Fool.

It is a toss up who will be the most boring. A bit pointless as Farage will have no MPs and won't be around any more. He has said he will resign if he gets no MPs.

But he will have MEP's.
