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.

Rupert Murdoch’s long history of calculated meddling in British politics has taken a new turn with the media baron calling a snap meeting with Nigel Farage in Manhattan.



In a gesture that will give David Cameron something extra to think about as he attended the NATO summit in Wales, the News Corp boss summoned the Ukip leader to his office for a private discussion.

The talks, which have been confirmed by Ukip, took place after Mr Farage had finished recording interviews at Mr Murdoch’s Fox News television network.

According to website Breitbart London, the Ukip leader’s invitation to meet Mr Murdoch was passed on during an advertisement break by presenter Neil Cavuto with the words: “Sir, the boss wants to see you. The big boss.”

If UKIP do get 14% of the vote nationwide, it will equate to 0% or close to it as a share of MPs. That means UKIP will not be a coalition partner with any party.

The reason why the tumour boy is being allowed to go to Prague, is that Southampton permitted it provided that he has one round of chemotherapy before the proton beam treatment. This was their requirement all along. Southampton's agreement with the chemotherapy requirement is why the high court allowed the boy to go.

Well you were wrong on how many MPs they would have Hays, you said NIL, very likely they will have 2 now at least.

Anyway its going to be an overal Labour Majority unless of course the Scots cock things up and I wouldnt put it past them.

Anyway Hays have you seen the time, you should be still in bed.

Hopefully we may get shot of the Scots soon. I am fed up of their moaning. If they don't leave then we should remove the designation of 'Scotland' and rename the area Northern England.

Yes, if Wee Eck has his way, then that will change everything.

40+ tory majority

Watching F1 on BBC2. Hamilton fastest in this practice with Rosberg having gearbox trouble stuck in garage.

"Hamilton fastest in this practice with Rosberg having gearbox trouble stuck in garage."

Hehehehehe

"The general principle which every member state of the European Union has subscribed to is that people fleeing persecution should apply for asylum in the first safe country they reach.

"France used to take this very seriously. When I was home secretary we had an agreement with France under which if people came to the United Kingdom from France and claimed asylum we would return them to France, and France dealt with their claim, and that's what really ought to happen."

The former Conservative Party leader said France had "lost control of its borders" because it was a member of the Schengen Agreement.

Lord Howard added: "Some French governments have recognised this. President Sarkozy, in 2012, threatened to withdraw France from the Schengen Agreement if other countries didn't take measures to control their borders.

"So the mayor of Calais ought to be directing her frustration at President Hollande, and getting him to take the kind of action that President Sarkozy was talking about.

45535 - first read this post and then consider that within the last 4/5 months the world's shipments of chemicals has almost come to a standstill .... thus storage depots in f/e and m/e are at bursting point with shipping containers, and the indian traffic has also died a death

We'll put guards on Scottish border: Ed Miliband reveals incendiary plan as Yes camp leads for first time in shock new poll

Labour leader revealed passport checks 'would have to be looked at'
His spokesman: 'It would be up to us to secure our northern border'
It defies Alex Salmond's claim that Scotland could enjoy free movement

Rebuild Hadrians Wall.

Nice big boost to the building trade, and keep out the Jocks at the same time.

win win

Max,

I would think there are many who would help you re-build the wall and quite a few who would like to fill Rotter's Dyke!

It would protect them from the little englanders and other tory camp followers!

What is it with the self hate that lefty brits suffer from?

I cant really blame the Scots who are voting yes.

Lets face it which idiot in Scotland wants Camoron and his posh boys ruling them when they have an excelent chance of breaking free from the priveleged elite Eton Boys.

It leaves us in England with a Tory party forever but at the very least they say Camoron will have to resign.

Cameron won't resign. The only calls for his resignation will come from Labour and can therefore be ignored. Only Labour will lose out. The Lbs will benefit from a larger share of the UK electorate and the Conservatives will be massive winners. This will increase when a Conservative majority allows them to do the constituency boundary changes. Say goodbye to Labour governments.
