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.

Think milli is in favour of slosh. Not sure on Nick.

Iknow vast majority of labour dont want slosh.

12 weeks it takes i think.

Should be well timed for GE.

Hays no they arent, its just Milli.

How can she be the right person.........

5) Butler-Sloss has herself been accused of trying to hide the identities of church leaders accused of child abuse.

No doubt the clergy will be involved again.........sat in the lords.

As you say 'accused'. Not the same as that she did do that.

It may, or not be a stitch up with Sloss, but the it opens the enquiry and findings to scepticism.

The problem is the pool of judges has a large number who are, or is part of the establishments itself.

Also, looking back at that period there was a pattern of odd behaviours and networks of Old Etonians.

Also, I think it was the 70s, 80s and 90s, that it was revealed the amount Politicians, Old Etonians, Mason, Police and Judiciary mixed on regular basis at the various lodge.

Having the ear of the Chief constable etc. was common practice.

~The relationships although partially exposed were swept back under the carpet.

By which government and is that being attempted again.

But those living in No 10 and 11 must be used to the stench by now!

I wonder if they have finished writing the enquiry's findings yet?

Hairy one and hazy one are composing the music for it!

What a period of political incompetents!

Even the tory grandees must be turning in the graves!



Forgot they has fags to do that for them!

Just watched again House of Cards the Drama channel.

Seems a beautiful portrayal of the present tory leadership, although written in the Post Maggie period of the 90s.


Seems timely to run it again now!

For the hairy one and Hazy one:

July 13th 2014

This week’s YouGov/Sunday Times poll is up here,
with topline figures of

CON 33%,


LAB 38%,

LDEM 9%,

UKIP 12%.



LABOUR MAJORITY OF 58


Long live Cameron, Osborne and IDS.


At least until the next G/E

Is the cash going into the con party's coffers to buy election propaganda and support?

If I don't write more, you will know I have fallen of my bike.

Lifting the B. thing into the car has nearly kill.

The things you will do for grandchildren!

When it comes to winning the next election, you're wasting you time with opinion polls. If you want to know who's going to win, you need to ask the bookies - they're nearly always right.

Here's the odds being offered on both Labour and the Conservatives to win the most seats. It plots the trend for three popular bookies since 2010. The odds are decimal, so anything under 2 is odds-on.

Both parties are currently just about even to get the most seats, but which way are the trends going?

Labour

Still slightly odds-on, but they've clearly been going outside over the last year or so. By next May, an extrapolation of that chart suggests decimal odds of around 2.2.

Conservatives

Currently evens, and clearly coming inside. An extrapolation of the chart suggests they'll be odds-on to win the most seats come next May.

And that is before UKIP have been smeared and scandalised as a bunch of racists and bigots. Once that happens, and the Tories UKIPise their own policies, they will be heading towards an overall majority.

Absolute rubbish.

Its the marginals that will decide who wins the next GE and Lord Ashcroft has labour in a 5% to 7% lead. And its widening. Thats the trend.

With interest rates likely to rise before the GE it certainly isnt going to help the Tories.

Camoron makes his cabinet reshuffle tomorrow..........despearate times for a desperate man.

You and Old Bollock Chops are the only two who give a toss about those silly polls conducted with an insufficiently representative sample, Fishfinger. They're totally meaningless, especially so as the election isn't tomorrow - it's not until next May, doncha know?

I thought you were the self-proclaimed charting guru round these parts. Look at the longer-term charts and see where the money's going. I know you're not very clever, but has nobody told you that denial isn't a river in Africa?

gf
I fail to see how you can quote Ashcroft and his polls as evidence of a Labour win. Recently, I posted an Ashcroft poll showing that thing were going well for the Conservatives. Your reaction was to suggest that his polling was influenced by Cameron. Do you only believe the information that supports your point of view?

Well its the first time ive heard Hays refered to as " Old Bollock Chops" what happened in the park the other day couldnt he get it up. These are modern time hasnt he heard of viagra.

Anything strike you about these charts Hilary is using????? clue look at the base.

Yep just 3 out of 20 bookies shown on the chart.

Its like taking a representative sample of 3 marginals out of 20 marginals.

And it also proves Hilary doesnt know how bookies use the pre event market to their advantage.

Hays the one you used was after the Camoron vote on the EEC where "Little Englanders" changed over to the tories for a few days. An absolute one off as I predicted correctly.

Think again if you believe I'm referring to Haystack as OBC, Fishfinger. That privilege is reserved exclusively for your red flag flying rent boy, Fred.

And, if you're referring to the fact that I only selected three bookies, that's because the chart loses a lot of clarity with every bookie selected. In addition, some bookies have only recently started pricing the market whilst others can't provide sufficient liquidity to be meaningfully considered.

But if that's what floats your boat, here's the Labour chart with all bookies selected which says the same thing as my earlier chart. Try again, halfwit.
