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.

More Liberal Democrat voters think David Cameron would be a better Prime Minister than Nick Clegg, a new poll has found.


A survey by Lord Ashcroft, the former Conservative party donor, found that 35 per cent of LibDems thought Mr Cameron was a better choice for Prime Minister.


The proportion was marginally ahead of the 34 per cent of LibDem voters who thought Mr Clegg would be a better leader of the country.


The survey showed that the Prime Minister’s reshuffle of the Cabinet to include more women had failed to boost the party in the polls.


In fact overall the survey by Lord Ashcroft found that Labour’s lead over the Tories had widened eight points.


In an analysis Lord Ashcroft said this was due to five point fall in the Conservatives’ vote share to 27 per cent.

Labour’s support was up by one point to 35 per cent, and the UK Independence Party’s support was up three points to 17 per cent.

The LibDems were unchanged on 7 per cent, tied with the Greens, which were also on 7 per cent, up a single point.

Lord Ashcroft said that the fall in the Tories’ vote share showed that the reshuffle “is the sort of political event that monopolises the attention of everyone in Westminster but goes largely unnoticed everywhere else”.

Nos 3 and Nos 4 whats going on there then.!!!!!!!

Cynic should be able to tell us.

Ed Miliband meets Barack Obama at the White House

Labour leader promises US president he will stand "unambiguously" for Britain to remain in Europe amid White House fears UK will leave EU.

why are MPs allowed to get away with insider dealing .
cabinet mps have made a fortune buying shares before budgets
the SFO FCA WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT THIS ISSUE .

The report, published today, cites clear evidence that EU migration has put pressure on public services such as the NHS and schools.

And it concludes that EU court rulings have allowed an explosion in illegal activity such as fake passports and sham marriages by non-EU migrants trying to live and work in Britain.

The report, which is based on submissions from businesses, interest groups and members of the public, was due to be published earlier this year. But a Whitehall source said senior Lib Dems blocked its release because they feared it was too critical of the EU.

Pro-immigration Business Secretary Vince Cable has claimed that increases in migration are a ‘good thing’. He told the BBC he had ordered the report to be rewritten because it was ‘propagandist’.

But its final conclusions are far from comfortable for the Lib Dems as it highlights a great many problems which have resulted from mass EU migration and calls for urgent action to combat them.

It is one of a number of reports into the EU’s influence on British government and society and how it should be curtailed as part of the renegotiation of membership proposed by David Cameron ahead of a referendum in 2017.

LIBS ARE IARS AND CROOKS THE PUBLIV MUST BE TOLD OF THEIR LIES
THE PRESS SHOULD PRINT THE FACTS OF THESE LIARS

Who would you prefer for PM somebody who may be thinking about future policies and being pragmatic, against a windbag like Cameron strutting across the telling the EU what they should be doing and at the same time leaving the club.

Or would you prefer a Jewish Hitler, who has learnt nothing from the history of his own people and is abusing the human rights of those who he and his ancestors were probably derived from.

Question from a journalist to Alastair Cook - "Do you think you are a good captain?" Cook's answer was along the lines of - "Well, you can only do what you can with the players you are given". I'm sure his players must have been delighted to hear that comment. :-)

i pretty much agree with fred about netanyahu, though to be as fair as possible, he is hamstrung by the mish-mash coalition that israel always ends up with, and which always includes an element from the loony right and ultra orthodox

mind you, it cannot be said that hamas are doing much (anything!) to bring this awful conflict to an end

Isn't it Israel who can bring it to an end?

it takes two to tango and neither side looks much interested in peace, and assuredly it would not suit the assorted nefarious outsiders either

UKIP on Course for Two MPs According to Ashcroft Poll http://guyfawk.es/1pzuDam

Doods,

I came back to the UK for the weekend so I could go to Lords on Friday. Wish I hadn't bothered now...

i think farage will get elected purely on the basis of his personality and image, but who would be the second?
the next question is, whose or which seats are they forecast to nick, or does the poll not get that specific?

Why should you care about any specific going on your track record.?????

Least of your worries cyners.

i'm just interested, and it would be fun to watch to see if that prediction, so far in advance, is correct
anyway assuredly not the constituency in which i reside!

ah well, that didn't take long to find, as below, but of course they are equally seats that labour would want or even need to win

Lord Ashcroft’s latest constituency polling has UKIP in first place in two Tory held seats where Labour came second in 2010. Thurrock Tory MP Jackie Doyle-Price, who has a majority of just 92 in Thurrock, drops to third on 28%. In first place is UKIP’s Tim Aker, on 36%, well ahead of the Labour candidate, Ed Miliband’s carpet-bagging former SpAd Polly Billington, who is on 30%. Meanwhile in Thanet South, where Farage is expected to run, UKIP are first on 33%, with the Tories and Labour level pegging on 29%. The LibDems are almost wiped out in both constituencies, on 2% and 4% respectively. If Ashcroft is on the money, UKIP will have at least two MPs in 2015. They are not just hurting the Tories, but Labour too…
