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.

Nigel Farage to launch ‘full-frontal assault’ on Labour at Ukip conference
Ukip leader will accuse Labour of failing to represent people for which it was founded, and unveil plan for fairer tax system
Rowena Mason, political correspondent
The Guardian, Thursday 25 September 2014 17.45 BST
Nigel Farage will launch a “full-frontal assault” on Labour in Ed Miliband’s backyard on Friday, claiming the party has failed to represent the people for which it was founded.
At Ukip’s conference at Doncaster racecourse, Farage will target the blue-collar voters who have supported Labour for generations as Ukip makes a play for the seat of the late Labour MP Jim Dobbin in Heywood and Middleton.
Labour, whose leader Miliband is MP for Doncaster North, has launched its first major attack on Ukip, painting it as “more Tory than the Tories” and the party of extreme tax cuts for millionaires and plans to make people pay to see their GPs.
But Farage will brush off the criticism by saying Ukip would protect the NHS from abuse, keep it free at the “point of access” and improve the most essential services.
He will unveil plans for what the party describes as a “simpler, fairer tax system” that it says would ease the burden for those on the lowest wages, and proposals to take care of servicemen and women returning from military duty overseas.

GF,
It would be a pity to attempt to close this thread.
I don't contribute as I am sceptical of my charting abilities, but I do follow the thread and think many other "sleeping posters" do like wise..
One of problems with market at the moment is the volatility and the wiser ones may have their cash in their pockets.

I appreciate the hard work you and some others have put into it!

Thinking of "military strikes" and boots on the ground in Iraq and Syria.
"Take a second to ask yourself “Where would the extremists preach if poverty did not provide the audience? “, Where would a terrorist recruit if poverty did not line up those in despair?”
“We tend to assume poverty only exists in the Third World, but you find even in the US and Europe there are pockets of extreme hardship and that’s not something that people pay enough attention to,“ she adds now. “The reason why it is so important is because it affects us all. When people are poor they have no hope "
Does anybody know who spoke the above.

It would seem poverty has little to do with what is happening in sandland Fred.
More to do with holy rollers and lots of petrodollars.

Max,
People with full bellies prefer to sleep than go to war, unless the bellies contain lager or beer unless they are like Nigel.

Fred.
There is little or no shortage of money in sandland.
People are not going hungry from a shortage of cash.
How it is distributed is another question.
What has this to do with Farage?

ISIS appeal has nothing whatsoever to do with poverty
it's adherents are primarily those who "allow" themselves to be brainwashed by other extreme extremists
i have no idea let alone understanding of the political aims of the exceedingly wealthy paymasters

Manuel and Max,
Perhaps, if you look for the underlying dissatisfaction and grievances and address them, one may diminish the support that the totem poles of extreme "religion" or "political ideology" gather.
Probably too difficult for you to comprehend!

and for you, anyone else's point of view is always rubbished
of course, you have yet to answer yesterday's straight question with a straight answer, but then one expects nothing other from you other than a sideways slither followed by the effrontery of saying you have answered the question

Manuel,
You were either looking in the mirror when you posted 46461 with a smile on your face, otherwise it may be seen as a sign of early paranoia.
But to me, you do seem to have delusions of grandeur, when you think you can command others to answer your simplistic questions according to you whim.
Interesting symptoms.
