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.

It is interesting that UKIP got an EU vote share that matched what they were polling before the election. This has not led to any breakthrough in the GE polls as above. If history repeats itself in the GE then UKIP will still not get any MPs.

W/see!

The Kipper party should get enough votes to decimate the tory party vote for con artists.

Happy days are here again!

For some really good tips on wine, check out:

i occasionally buy wines through Bibendum, but Farr Vintners is probably the one is use most
to be very snooty (for a change!) the wines written up in the Mail may be ok for everyday, but nothing that thrilling
my recommendation for light red would be 2009 or better still, 2010 cru beaujolais from decent growers - if you can still find them ..... Chenas and Fleurie will assuredly last several more years, and Cote de Brouilly also have plenty of life left

Coat de Brolly, you say?

Hmmm? That does sound as though it might be a bit too dry. ;-)

David Cameron on the ropes as UKIP Turbo Tories drain support for Conservatives
Jun 01, 2014 22:37
OPINION BY KEVINMAGUIRE

Mirror associate editor Kevin Maguire says left jabs from Ed Miliband and right hooks from Nigel Farage have put the PM into a corner

David Cameron has good cause to fret behind his spray-on PR smile.

I’m told the Prime ­Minister’s pulling out what’s left of his thinning hair over the split on the Right.

The grins and public pretence that all is calm in Downing Street is a front as brash as Harrods.

Nigel Farage’s UKIP Turbo Tories are draining support from Cameron’s Conservatives.

Pollster ComRes found 46% of UKIP voters were Con in 2010 and just 15% Labour.

That unbridgeable chasm on the reactionary wing of British ­politics spells defeat for Dodgy Dave at next May’s general election.

There may be no Carl Froch knockout to leave Cameron sprawled on the canvas. But left jabs from Ed Miliband and right hooks from Farage leave Cameron up against the ropes.

So the least successful Tory premier ever, who couldn’t win a majority in 2010, is unlikely to punch his way to victory in 2015.

The Tories chucking everything at Thursday’s Newark by-election to defend a 16,152 majority in one of their safest seats is a party going backwards, not forwards. The Downing Street spin of a brave face isn’t fooling Tory MPs worried about their own seats.

During Cameron’s economic recovery the Cons finished third in a national election for the first time in history, back in bronze position in the Europeans.

Panicking Tory MPs doing their own sums are working out Labour won most votes in Tory targets.

Labour topped the poll in fading blue Carlisle, Lincoln, Hastings, Enfield North, Ipswich, Peterborough and Harlow.

A realistic career move for many Tory MPs isn’t a red box in a reshuffle but a job outside politics after enforced retirement from Westminster next year.

Cameron initially enjoyed success, dodging the bullets by keeping his head down while Labour rowed internally about UKIP.

The botched Lib Dem coup against vote loser Nick Clegg was a handy diversion.

But a Tory MP I spoke to muttered darkly of how the grim reality of his party’s plight will come home to backbenchers when Parliament ­reassembles in Westminster for Wednesday’s Queen’s Speech.

The lifeline of a Tory-UKIP pact is impossible when bad blood flows between ­Right-whingers Cameron and Farage.

Betting the ranch on economic recovery is bankrupt if voters don’t enjoy higher living standards.

The zombie Parliament will leave Tory MPs plenty of time to fester.

Betty’s speech in the middle of this week will expose a ConDem coalition that’s run out of ideas.

Beyond permanent austerity it has little to offer that is enticing.

Miliband and Clegg both suffered kickings over the past week. Yet it is Cameron as Prime Minister who is likely to finish the biggest loser.

surely you meant Claude de Brolly who took over as concierge at Lloyds when Mahatmacoat finally retired after several decades of loyal service

Hmmm? Have you seen these?

But I do see where you are coming from, cynic, and the resemblance may even be quite close. However, I am not really sure and the bloke you mention could well have been Claude Rains or even Mawigma Gown.

GF.

Fair article.

The Con party and followers are soused in cheap old reds, they can't afford the Burgundies on their salaries.

Living in the past comes to mind.

What a "leadership".

Hear Cameron call out the other night call, "Rebeka, my kingdom for a horse!"

AND THEIRS MORE FRED..............................................

Just look at this..........

Meanwhile this morning’s Populus poll had figures of CON 32%, LAB 37%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 13%. While that doesn’t look notable at first sight, Populus tend to show some of the lowest Labour leads, so five points is actually the largest they’ve shown since February.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I say.........................................

in Ashcroft’s normal weekly GB poll which has topline figures of CON 25%, LAB 34%, LDEM 6%, UKIP 19%: a nine point Labour lead and a chunky 19 points for UKIP.

A 9 point lead for labour and coming from a Tory Pollster.

Camoron is in deep trouble.

Very deep trouble.

It would be amusing if the G/election after next, Farage refuses to allow Wailing Dave a discussion with leaders of the main parties on TV.

=======

How is wee Alex getting on.

Is Cameron still hiding behind the fence?

I notice the tory brigaide are very quiet tonight. I wonder why.

They are drunk on Dave's success already!
