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.

Ohhhhhhh stop being petty Hays.

A jobs a job........and not an apprenticeship as defined by the Tory boys ie, slave job clubs.

Remember Tories racked up more debt in four years than labour did in 13 years, dont be fooled by the Tory propoganda.

How long now before the Polls show Conservatives ahead of Labour?

Milibland did a good job of reminding people that he is an idiot with his definitely, possibly, maybe referendum.

i shan't get dragged into your silly swamp, but as far as i can see, EM was not really proposing anything very different from what is already on the table

as many real businessmen have already pointed out, companies can and will only take on new staff or even apprentices when their business warrants it, or when the prospects strongly imply that they will have a staff shortage imminently

Bye Bye Manuel

Only Lib Dems and Ukip consistent on Europe, says Nick Clegg

Deputy PM says Labour's adoption of similar position on EU referendum does not make Lib-Lab coalition more likely

Nick Clegg has suggested he has more in common with Nigel Farage than Ed Miliband when it comes to his position on Europe, even though the Liberal Democrats and Labour now have an almost identical policy on calling an EU referendum only if there is a transfer of powers to Brussels.

The deputy prime minister said the Lib Dems and Ukip at least have consistently held but opposing views, and accused Labour and the Conservatives of switching between different positions.

He said Miliband's new stance on the EU did not make the prospect of a Lib-Lab coalition any more likely.

Miliband's decision to make clear a referendum is unlikely to happen under Labour in the next parliament undermines Clegg's argument that the Lib Dems are the only pro-European party.

Whos Clegg trying to kid, we dont want his poxy party we have an overall majority with 38% of the polls and weve consistently polled that or over for last 18 months.

If we need help this time all we will need is a few of the OTHERS.

heaven forfend that anyone should suggest that several years back labour rigged - sorry, re-jigged - the constituency boundaries to skew voting in their favour :-)

even so, i have my doubts that this poll-generated 38% would actually give an overall majority

Ohhhhhh yes it would.

Ive proved it on here before, but dont forget Labour normaly have 39% or 40%, so nah nah ,nah nah nah.

Busted vote next time out methinks.

None of the main three are worth a toss, and their promises are worthless.


UKIP is almost certainly rubbish as well, but it might cause enough trouble to break up the cosy consensus of the present offerings.

You mean the Tories Max.

The electorate know not to vote labour if they want out of the EEC.

Everybodys called this wrong, Milliband despite having critics on his policy as played a long term blinder.

They know not to vote Labour, but vote Conservative if they want out of the EEC. UKIP won't get any MPs so pointless to vote them. That will become obvious as the election approaches.

From the joke for today thread

Scottish Independence Map

Ukip is the bin for worn out rejected tory far right, blue rinses and little englanders, I would be surprised if they get one MP in the next election for a UK government.

But the arrogant torrid party are underestimating Miliband I think he is playing his hand very shrewdly and I don't think the country is a euro-phobic and the tory elite who I guess don't want regulation of the city and the money laundering which is carried out there.

Hard luck.

Hazy One.

Cameron himself wishes too and knows he will have to stay in the EU if god forbid he was reelected.

Boris would also would stay in the EU.


But Cash would be a perfect tory leader to take you into the next election.

Post 38138 - I was born in Donedee and the map completely missed out Carnoustie, which must have one of the best golf courses ever designed!

Is the Skintland golf course at Carnasty nearer to Glasgone or to Edinborrow?

It's nearer to heaven than a lot of the silly pumped -up, over rated golf courses in Engerland that's for sure !
