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.

They are two people who are legally being extradited for a multimillion dollar fraud that was investigated by the police, a grand jury and the FBI.

Another shocking Q1 GDP reading, this time Portugal. -0.7% vs expectations of +0.1%. That's France, Portugal and Italy all missed today............could Europe drag the World Economy down!!!!!!!

ah indeed ... i've told everyone for ages that the eurozone economy was still in very poor health, unlike our own .... but of course the usual suspects poo-pooed that as it ran at odds to their supposed political leanings

Ever more reason to be at least wary of this Europe.

Which month will it be when gf admits that the Conservative will probably win the GE? Will he wait until the actual week of the election or change his view months earlier? He likes to be on the winning side so he will have to jump ship at some point.

you may be convinced, but no one else is
that said, sticky and fossy are still in denial that the uk economy is recovering strongly, while even their party leaders confirm that that is so - though it must stick in their craw

I am not convinced. I meant would gf finally admit that they would win even if the Conservatives were way ahead in the polls.

Of course the Conservatives will win the general election, it's just a matter of debate as to whether they'll get an overall majority. The UKIP vote in the European elections is nothing more than a protest because the public have a right to a referendum and there'll be hell to pay if they don't get one.
When it comes to the general election, however, Millibland is an unelectable accident waiting to happen, and the Tories will UKIP-ise their own policies in the run-up to the election whilst, at the same, smear and discredit UKIP as a bunch of racists and bigots. UKIP will end up getting the Labour vote, and the Tories will ignore UKIP and return to vote Tory because they know damn well that UKIP won't get any seats and they'll be too scared of letting Labour in through the back door. With some luck, Scotland will leave the union and that will pave the way for overall Conservative majorities for the next 50 years once the red jocks no longer have any say.

Oh, and for anybody who thinks Cameron should resign if the jocks do vote to leave the union, they're wrong. He should be knighted!!!

Well I'm a "jock" ( not a red one ) now living in England and I don't have a say anyway ! As a matter of interest, I don't know why English people can't vote to say whether or not they want Scotland to gain independence. :-)

Political Equations

Thursday
May 2014
Posted by Mike Sivier
I’ve had a look at these and I think they’re right.
Would any mathematicians like to add any equations of their own?
Can you solve these political equations?
David Cameron - Nick Clegg = 0
Ed Miliband x David Cameron = David Miliband
Alex Salmond³ - Scotland = Nigel Farage
Tuition Fees + (Nick Clegg x Pledge) = Tuition Fees²
Nick Clegg + Pledge = Pledge x 0
√ Nigel Farage = Enoch Powell
Tory Party ÷ Europe = Ed Miliband + Nr 10
Nigel Farage - Public School = Nick Griffin
Lib Dems - Nick Clegg ≥ Lib Dems + Nick Clegg
Nigel Farage - EU = 0
IDS ± Frog = Cock³
NHS x (David Cameron + Nick Clegg) = NHS x 0
Bankers + (Bonus³) = Recession³
Boris - Hair = Ken + (London Mayor x 2)
Chris Grayling = C*nt x ∞
.

I can't stand Cameron or Milliband or even that ginger twat from the Lib-Dems (forgotton his name and can't be bothered to google)... Its no wonder people don't bother to vote when this is the best that we have.
