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.

Muppets?

maybe, but at least they had the bottle to fight it out on live tv, unlike the other two.


anyway, opinion says Farage won it by a whisker.



Call me Dave and the lesser spotted Millibandus will not be queueing up for a big one, cos either of the two tonight would wipe the floor with the pair of them.

FARAGE won on points.

POLL SHOWS

You Gov Poll.


57% to Farage 36% to Clegg

FARAGE Lands a knock out blow.

Look out Tory Boys.

That's a big win for Farage, I'm surprised, cos Nick is slick.

Official result of poll....You Gov Poll

Guido Fawkes ‏@GuidoFawkes
Yougov/Sun: Farage 57% – 36% Clegg

Hays Hays Hays Hays.........

a big kick in the goolies for the Tories.

Millys going to nos 10, Millys going to nos 10, Millys going to nos 10 dar ra ra ra dar ra ra ra.

Millibandus is in the doo doo, the consensus is for a real referendum.

MaX do me a favour and pass on the result to Hays.

I will if I see him gf, but I suspect he will have the vapours after that little show.

If Labour win the 2015 election which looks likely 2017 will just be an idea on a memo.

LOL yep max. Hes probably hiding under the bed.

SKY News viewers also give Farage the victory by at least 2-1.

Tories beware.

Manuel.

With all your problems, I am sure you have got used to apologising!

Thought Clegg to be a Liberal Democrat, hey ho

The poll shown on Sky had Farage winning the debate. That doesn't mean that much. Firstly, you are only counting people who watched the debate. That group is a self selected group and not necessarily representative of the general population's view on the EU. Recent polls show a clear majority for a vote for IN after getting a better deal with a looser connection to Europe.

It is likely that the dominant group watching the debate was UKIP supporters. That will skew the results. What the poll says is that of the people who watched the debate, there was a slight majority who want to leave the EU.

But there is no "better deal with a looser connection to Europe"


That's been squashed by any number of €uroburgers, there is simply no other option available than to leave, there is no renegotiation possible.


Cast Iron Dave is trying to blow smoke up everyones ass, and he is failing, cos we've heard it all before.

Millibum is ducking the question as well, and even nooer labour will pay for it.

Nick at least, to his credit, is honest about the €uro question, he's all for IN But he'll be off to €uroland after the next election anyway.

There is quite a bit of pressure for renegotiation from other countries such as Denmark. I think there will be room for changes to the rules. If not then the vote would go against staying in. The reality is that voting for UKIP cannot get us out of Europe whatever Farage may say. The whole idea of voting for UKIP is absurd. What would be the point? Labour won't give anyone a vote. The Conservatives will.

Beware house price bubble: Treasury watchdog sounds alarm over runaway property market

Office for Budget Responsibility says speculators are inflating rising prices
Watchdog head Robert Chote warns of 'bubbly activity' in some areas
Prince Charles expresses fears that prices will drive workers out of London
Says home ownership for young people is 'becoming further out of reach'
Average price of a London home is expected to jump from £458,000 to £650,000 by 2020
Figures show average price of a UK home hit £254,000 in January
First-time buyers paid a record £190,000 to get on the housing ladder

Britain is on the verge of a dangerous housing bubble, the Treasury’s chief watchdog warned yesterday.
Soaring property prices are being inflated by speculators banking on further gains, according to Robert Chote, who heads the Office for Budget Responsibility.
‘With very rapid house price increases in some parts of the country you might see bubbly activity where people are willing to buy stuff off plan or not intend to live in it,’ Mr Chote told MPs.
Prince Charles gave a separate warning yesterday that soaring prices in London will drive a generation of young people out of the capital. He said the dream of home ownership was becoming further and further out of reach for swathes of workers.
The average price of a home in London is expected to jump from £458,000 to £650,000 over the next six years.
‘This isn’t sustainable and risks driving away talented young individuals who are starting their careers in London and spending most of their income on rent,’ said the prince. ‘Home ownership for this generation is seemingly becoming further and further out of reach.’
Official figures show the price of the average UK home hit £254,000 in January – a rise of 6.8 per cent in a year. Prices were up 13.2 per cent in London, 7.1 per cent in the South East and 6.9 per cent in Wales.

First-time buyers paid a record £190,000 to get on the housing ladder in January. Estate agents are now organising open days in some hotspots to meet demand and many homes go to auction-style sealed bids.
‘Open days are necessary with the feeding frenzy out there,’ said Peter Rollings of estate agents Marsh & Parsons.



Ed Mead, of Douglas & Gordon, another London agency, said: ‘Any estate agent in London has buyers coming out of their ears. What they are all fighting for is sellers.’
Mr Chote told the Treasury select committee the surge in prices was partly down to soaring demand, driven by rising confidence, increased lending, and government schemes such as Help to Buy – all combined with lack of supply.
He added: ‘You can explain the increase in house prices by fundamentals without having to resort to saying there is a bubble going on

‘That doesn’t mean to say there may not be some bubbly components to what is going on in the housing market in particular parts of the country.’
A report from the Home Builders Federation this week showed that Britain is now one million homes short of meeting its housing needs.
The independent OBR expects house prices to rise by more than 30 per cent in the next five years.
Mr Chote insisted it was not ‘taking a view that house prices are over or undervalued’ and said house price inflation should cool from 8.5 per cent this year to 3.7 per cent in 2017 and 2018.

Steve Nickell, an economist who sits on the OBR with Mr Chote, said: ‘A bubble arises when demand is being driven by people wanting to get in because of expectations of price growth rather than for somewhere to live.
‘The house price to income ratio has been growing for the last 40 years but that cannot go on forever because everything you consume would become housing and there would be nothing else left.’
But David Ruffley, a Tory MP on the Treasury committee, said forecasters always expect a ‘benign return to equilibrium’ and fail to predict the cycle of boom and bust.

Interest rates rises on the way come November.

Lets not forget these new pension lump sums will lead to a lot sinking their money in BUY TO LET. This will just make the bubble far worse.

Cameron and Osbourne out of their depth like former BoE boss Mervyn King said they were.
