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.

What a hell of a guy!

Bernie is highly likely to pull this one off and I dare bet he had it factored in to start with. You do have to admire the guy.

Here's another cheeky guy. This one is called Brian and he's from California:

Scottish independence TV debate: First blood to Alistair Darling as he clashes over currency with Alex Salmond in televised Yes/No debate

Wednesday 06 August 2014



The issue of what currency an independent Scotland would use sparked heated exchanges in the first televised referendum debate between the First Minister, Alex Salmond, and Alistair Darling, the leader of the pro-Union Better Together campaign.


With barely six weeks until Scotland votes on whether or not it should become an independent state, Mr Salmond markedly refused to state what his “plan B” would be if Westminster refused to let Scots continue to use the pound.

The gloves came off when the former Chancellor, Mr Darling, chose to personally attack the Scottish National Party leader’s promises on the pound by stating: “An eight-year-old can tell you what Scotland’s capital and flag is. But you can’t tell us what Scotland’s currency will be.”

Alistair Darling for PM in London!

At least he isn't ducking his responsibility of debating with Wee Alec.

The hopes of Cameron.

Cameron has no moral compass and is "doomed, DOOMED!"

cameroons only hope is to get the jocks to piss off....perhaps that's his cunning plan?

Cameron won't survive the GE, no prime minister has ever survived a GE following riots on the streets of London during their term.

I quite like this blog anyway but from then to now what's changed.

I'm not sure where you got that info, Shortie, but it's incorrect. Maggie was returned following riots in Brixton in both 1981 and 1985.

In hindsight your right, I kind if recall hearing it somewhere, although it'd would appear I must of heard wrong...

Boris Johnson: I will stand for Parliament in 2015

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, has said he would like to run for Parliament at the next election

Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, put an end to years of speculation and prevarication this morning by announcing he is planning a return to Parliament.


Mr Johnson, the former MP for Henley, said he is searching for a seat he can fight at the 2015 election and "in all probability" will stand.

A return to Parliament will be widely interpreted a staging post in a campaign to replace David Cameron as Tory leader.


Mr Johnson said if he is selected he will serve out his term as Mayor, which ends in 2016.

Great news that Boris plans to stand at next year's general election - I've always said I want my star players on the pitch.

Boris Johnson: roadmap to victory

The Mayor of London has announced he will return to Parliament - reigniting speculation that he has his eye on the Tory leadership. What does he do next?


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/london-mayor-election/mayor-of-london/11015730/Boris-Johnson-roadmap-to-victory.html

He will look around for a safe seat. I was going to post yesterday that I was expecting it. He almost gave it away yesterday when he said that the UK had a good future outside the EU if Cameron did not get a better deal from Europe.

He won't go after the leadership unless Cameron loses the election. Leaders rarely stay after losing a GE. If Cameron wins Boris will be a loyal supporter and bide his time.

The London mayor election shows that he can take votes off Labour.

I think the mans a raging idiot, a clown at best most of the time and yet he's tipped to lead the Tory party.... I suppose one more clown MP running the country can't do much harm!

Take votes off labour.........LOL......... hes the best thing to happen to labour since this coalition crew got in.

The truth is Camoron and Boris detest each other.

He is someone who likes to project a clown image. I have been to the London assembly to watch the Mayor's question time. He is awsome in his grasp of all the issues. The Labour opposition tried everything to trip him up on all sorts of areas. They never laid a glove on him. When he behaves in a serious way he is hard to beat.
