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.

So let me get this right. Red Ed got dumped by Sky News in favour of a statement by Barry the Kenyan.
And this, apparently, is a summary of what the Sky viewers missed
Even the bits that we did hear were laced with embarrassing mistakes. He talked about meeting two women in a park, and the crowd laughed. Ed responded with bemusement saying “its not that funny”. Surely it should have crossed his mind that bored delegates might have rude thoughts flashing through their heads.
Later in the speech he talked about going to an NHS hospital in Watford at 9pm one night. He said he was particularly delighted to see “nurses coming together”.
Those poor Sky viewers obviously had a lucky escape.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Labour were also big favourites to win the last General Election.

You don't solve problems by just pumping in more and more money. Rob the rich to pay the poor and the immigrants - what a great idea Ed ! Did Ed say anything about immigration?

Yes he did, Doods. He said he's got Tanker's address, and he's moving a family of 500 Romanians into the flat opposite as soon as he can get a lorry to smuggle them into the country.

It depends where it is pumped.
Into irrigation or down a bottomless pit!
Or £600,000 London properties for the "family".
Take your pit.

I agree entirely, the Tories with QE, Help To Buy, and low interest rates have fudged up a recovery on quick sand.
Its about time someone else other than I and Fred pointed this out.
Well said doodles.

Sky news gave Ed's ramblings a hard time. They said the figures didn't add up and didn't expect him to provide any details on most of the topics.
