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.

UKIP will win a lot of MEPs. They may come second or third. As far as the GE is concerned, nothing much will change. They are on course to get zero MPs. They will just disrupt the votes for other parties. All a bit of a waste of time voting for UKIP.

not quite a fair comparison, but the french have a habit of voting in the unelectable at local elections and similar (for which read eu elections) and then reverting to form when it's serious

at the last serious election, the french voted in the socialist "heron king", and have bitterly regretted it ever since .... as result the unelectable but dangerous far-right candidates are now making significant gains at the local elections

The choice is between no immigrants and as many as we can cram into the UK.

Hazy One!

Why haven't you posted the polls with joy in your skirts!

Time to ditch Wavy Dave and Porky?

Haze,

Do you roll your trouser leg up when you go to party HQ?

There must be an awful arms in the air there at the moment!

Now we all strongly suspect our Foreign Aid is not going to the right places. How much longer are we going to let the government keep 'chucking it' away to despotic regimes?

Ethiopian farmer sues UK over our foreign aid handouts

And the poor guy is using tens of thousands of £GBP of our Legal Aid to sue our own government!

You can't make it up!

Labour back on top. I said it was only a few days before the gimmick budget was forgotten.

Just in case Manuel missed it!

Hazy One!

Just when we thought the English cricket team couldn't get any worse ------------ and Ashley Giles still fancies his chances as coach. "We warmed up well", he said at the post match interview.

Do you think the UK should introduce a law to prevent parent emotional cruelty by their children?

Max,

Are those rockets pointing at No 10 or Berkshire?

i fully understand the logic but i cannot see how on earth you can define let alone enshrine such a thing in law ...... it must surely be full of holes, or drafted so draconianly that you'ld end up in court for giving your child a stern telling off, let alone sending them to their room or even to the "naughty step"

Virtually impossible to prove emotional abuse. Evidence is the weak link in this.

"by"

8-)

like i say to others .... RTFQ!!!!
but same argument applies :-)

There is a UN report on climate change out today and looks like being so he of the main news items. There is not much coverage of this though

A climate scientist has accused the United Nations of being too alarmist over global warming – and demanded his name be removed from a crucial new report.

Professor Richard Tol, an economist at the University of Sussex, said fellow UN academics were exaggerating climate change and comparing it to the ‘apocalypse’.

His comments are a blow to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which on Monday will publish its first update in seven years on the impacts of climate change.

Previous IPCC reports on climate impact have been plagued by errors that damaged the body’s credibility.

Most famously, it said in 2007 that glaciers in the Himalayas could disappear by 2035, a claim it has since withdrawn.

Scientists are meeting in Japan this week to agree the wording of the final document, which will be used to inform policy decisions of governments around the world.

Nice to see Holland's and his socialist party taking a beating in French elections It was only a poor candidate that stopped them losing Paris. Holland's reaction is a new Prime Minister and a cabinet shuffle.
