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.

desperate or what?




Ukip councillor under investigation over racist and homophobic comments

Nigel Farage is dealing with fresh allegations of racism and homophobia in his party only days after the local and European elections as Ukip was forced to launch an investigation into comments made by one of its newly elected councillors.

Dave Small, who was elected to Redditch borough council on Friday, faces being kicked out of the party for referring to gay people as "perverts" and African immigrants as "scroungers".

In comments posted on Facebook, he also attacked BBC broadcaster Clare Balding and singer Elton John over their sexuality and referred to "our sworn enemies in the Muslim world".

Its is not only the loss of 41 Labour seats that is important. There are 11 Lib seats and 3 SNP seats. That makes 55 missing seats. That makes it easier for the Conservatives to get a majority.If the Conservatives get a clear majority then they will go ahead with the constituency boundary changes.

The net effect is 14 less MPs for Lab, 10 less for Libs and 6 less for the Conservatives. That gives an overall advantage of -18 for the opposition to the Conservatives. You could add that 18 to the 55 about be to get 73 seats if Scotland goes and the Conservatives get a majority. Now that would be quite a hill for Labour to climb.

LOLLOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL laff My Ass Off, the tories on the thread coming out in numbers in defence of their party, making the most silly senarios up. In fact Harry Enfield should contact them for a script.

Just accept it as Mervyn King realised Camoron and osbourne are out of their depth.

At least give a little credit to UKIP who kicked your asses hard and will also do the same tomorrow night aswel. And labour are now as one of your own notes are the government elect.

ohhhhhhh its a lovely day for Milley, Milley makes you smile dah dah dah dah.

HAYS and Manuel, Ive got one hell of a smirk and smile on my face..........losers.

AND THEIRS MORE.........just out read and weep Tories...........

from one of your own (mind a proper Tory you can trust)

UK - @LordAshcroft poll of CON-LAB marginal seats:

LAB 41%
CON 29%
UKIP 18%
LDEM 8%

These figures give Milliband a 83 seat majority.

Here we go here we go here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ohhhhh its all gone quiet on here ,Ohhhhhhhh its all gone quiet on here.

Remember Tories your nightmare is on again tomorrow night.

I cant wait.

COME ON UKIP.

It will be interesting tomorrow, but it is just a sideshow. The main event is a year away.

No, it's not a year away Haystack.

We don't have a year...your faith in the present leadership is blind to the point of stupididity.

Cameron cannot win, that's the long and the short of it.

No one trusts him (except you) and that wont wash even with a lifelong tory voter (me)


The real problem is that none of the mainstream parties are listening to the bloke on the street, and the bloke on the street has finally woke up...hence UKIP, cos no one else is listening.

But voting for UKIP won't gain you anything.

you are a silly billy sticks old chap!
by midnight, i'ld been fast asleep for hours ..... s usual, can't be bothered to go back through all the predictable tripe you will no have posted during the evening

=============

ukip
certainly the great unknown for both labour and conservatives
neither can work out quite how to tackle this "attack", though i would have thought "ukip mentality" was more aligned to conservative (attempted) policies on both eu and immigration, not least because labour look to have no inclination to act on either

i thought it was particularly interesting in ashcroft's poll yesterday that only 3 in 10 would rather see EM than DC in Number 10
i can't see that DC inspires greatly, so what does that say about EM (and the labour party by implication)?

And the torygraph hits the nail on the head.

Morning c.

good morning max .... confined to barracks today i'm afraid as Beloved is rather poorly

below is of course what makes everyone's blood boil and highlights exactly why the benefits system needs drastic overhaul .... quite how that is achieved while being pilloried from left and right and the bleeding heart brigade is another matter

A couple who get paid £38,000 a year in benefits and tax credits snapped this selfie while enjoying a £5,000 holiday at the taxpayers' expense.
Cheryl Prudham, 32, and husband Robert, 29, have whisked their nine children off for an all-inclusive holiday in Menorca and hope to return next year to buy a villa.
They also said they were not bothered if they were fined up to £800 for taking their kids out of school during term-time for the fornight break.

Philippines is the best market to invest in , lower labour cost then China & India , young well educated workforce who all speak English [ Indian call centre workers have a problem with their accent ] , and Thailand will see foreign companys moving to the Philippines due to the unrest over there.

ignore the embedded corruption there at your peril

Vince Cable would be even worse for the Libs. He is far too mouthy.
