By Lord Ashcroft

Labour are back in the lead by six points in this week’s Ashcroft National poll, conducted over the past weekend.

Tories going back over to UKIP as been the trend this weekend.

The cap on child benefit announced by Ed Balls today will counteract the rise in minimum wage.

gf. If the jocks lose their MP's votes, where does that leave the Cons/Lab/Lib HoC wise?

In a minority with luck!

8-)

6% lead in the marginals Fred and Tories moving over to UKIP in droves.

The GE will be a walk for labour.

Its all back fired on camoron.

LOL!!!!!

When Ed Balls announced the child benefit cap at the Labour party conference today, he was greeted by loud cries of "SHAME". He seems to have misjudged his audience.

Can't help but feel a little sorry for Alex Salmond (who's looking a bit like a redundant shaved Father Christmas at the moment) as he wanted the best for Scotland even though he was probably wrong and remaining in the United Kingdom is by far the best decision by the Scots,.....

RF,

Not so sure about that.

By the time these present a s are out of office, god only knows how much more of the silver they will have purloined or sold off.

I have a feeling Slick Cameron has let a cat out of the bag he may not be able to control.

Sheer stupidity what is happening.

Fred : Cameron and buddies were desperate to win.....now what ? seems to be the question !......it's best Scotland remains part of the UK....but at what cost ?...

I admire your certainty!

Personally, the fragmentation of the UK, in the name of representation of "individual rights", doesn't seem to be in the long-term interest of "all" within the UK. (Including Scots, Welsh, English),

It seems to me, to stem from the same "motivation" as those who want out of the EU have.

I can see some sense in the N.I. joining with the South, but also see the problems, which would need to be overcome. (It was one of the reasons that I was hopeful when the South entered the EU that it might help to resolve the Irish problem. Not sure how much influence joining did influence the solution, but certainly the economy was helped until the stupidities from 2004 - 2008.)

Why do the smaller fish (that help make up the UK) think they will get a better deal from the €urobods if they are on their own?


The Uk as it stands is 84% English, the remaining 16% is divided up between three other countries.


From a personal viewpoint, I think the leap of belief that the kindly €urogods will somehow solve all the tiddlers problems and shower them with endless money is a figment of a drink/drug fuelled imagination.

It cant be anything else.

Max,

Perhaps, you may consider what some of the 46% of Scots were wishing to reject.

Enlighten me please Fred.

Hey gf, did you watch the trading programme tonight?

CR (across the road) "Good to see my kipper - troll on there - 7 years, started with £10k, now down to £4k :-)

Surely not referring to you is he? Would it be fair to say you two are not bessy mates?

Max.

Start with the arrogance of some of the English "elite" (who often congregate in "London" and South East, (due to the centralising of UK "administration" ) and their attitudes and expectation by some of the English to expect deference.

Also, remember when you mention "smaller fish" you are being derogatory.

Also, remember when you use the analogy consider that viruses and bacteria will probably be around to mop up the left behind of the human race.

Many large groups fail when smaller groups succeed.

Look at the past history of the Empire.
