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.

Changing subjects....this Malaysian aircraft disappearance wouldn't be the result of a collision with a new top secret space shuttle (Chinese or American) perhaps ?....would explain the cover-up that seems to be going on...

I believe Maggie sold off the oil reserves of the North Sea for tax bribes.
Instead of using that cash to improve the infrastructure and revitalise industry.
Again short sighted tory policies.
The one thing Benn did have was thoughts about the long term needs of the UK.
Sometimes the pathways were ill-chosen appeared murky, but at least he did think,

It was Tony Benn while Post Master General running the Post Office that shut down the pirate radio stations. In those days the Post Office included mail and telephone services. He opened the Post Office Tower in central London, now the BT Tower.

There is no specific political point to make, but several polls have recently shown the Link be ahead of UKIP. There was also a poll yesterday that listed UKIP as the least liked and most disliked party.
This is the latest Guardian/ICM poll

Just wait till the Euros come Hays.

Manuel.
I know your faculties are failing you and I do have some pity for you, but I am sorry I don't have the will, or time to abbreviate the short pieces enough for your mental time span.

Haze,
The tories must be relieved to see that, at this moment, the UKIP is not more popular than themselves.
Come the next election I can see more of the looney right wing of the torrid party flocking to follow Nigel.
=====
Just been told that about primary school in London which has had 5 changes of head in the last 4 years. Another Gove success.
When the tory successes stack up at the time of the next election the results may be very interesting.
Hear the Puppeteer in th Cayman Isles is getting fed up with his puppets.
There is an opportunity for Haze to make friends and influence people by a donation or two and help with his organisation skills.

UKIP will do well in the Euro elections and probably come a good third. It is slightly bizzare that people would bother voting for UKIP in a EU context when they espouse leaving the EU.

yet another of your misrepresentations sticky
when will you ever learn to report truthfully?
perhaps you've been associating with too many political party clubbers of all hues - do own up to it; you're really something of a whore in that respect

Just stating the facts as you have presented them GF, no need to have a strop. Plastic Manc, member of Con, Lib and Labour clubs. Just in case syndrome. And being a obnoxious Yorkshire Txat, I rest my case!

Tony Benn , born into the aristocracy: in his case, he was Viscount Stansgate. Hope he didn't go to Eton ., otherwise goldie wouldn't have approved of a Eton Labour toff.

Benn went to Westminster School and studied at New College, Oxford, where he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics and was elected President of the Oxford Union in 1947. In later life, Benn attempted to remove public references to his private education from Who's Who; in the 1975 edition his entry stated "Education—still in progress". In the 1976 edition, almost all details were omitted save for his name, jobs as a Member of Parliament and as a Government Minister, and address; the publishers confirmed that Benn had sent back the draft entry with everything else struck through.[12] In the 1977 edition, Benn's entry disappeared entirely.

Westminster is equivalebpmt to Eton in terms of class and money. That was strange as his father was a Labour MP and later a hereditary Labour peer. Of course you get used to Labour hypocracy after a while.
