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.

Just because Fred worked for a short time at a coal mine when he was younger [ in the office ] , He thinks his some sort of a Dennis Skinner

.

I don't care if their parents are the king and queen of Siam, as long as the appointments are based on "abilities".

I assume they are/were vetted by the the local party "machine" and it is up to the voters whether they are acceptable.


The same applies for tories, Greens, Lib/Dems any other party.

What I dislike is the inequality of opportunity for all "strata" of society often due to handed down privileges and financial advantage and "poorer" education by those without such benefits.

(Not easy to remedy or change, partially because of lack of "wish to" by those who have and inability and competence of those who have not and lack of "suitable" educators.)

Well. your position is a conundrum Fred.

On the one hand, the old school boy/dads/friends system is ok, if it's noo labour, but wrong if it's anyone else.

I think you need to go back and read those articles properly, cos you sure as hell are missing the big points in your narrow but unfocused view of the world.

Look out TORY BOYS there is talk of Kipper NIGEL coming out with news tomorrow at the same time as Camoron takes the floor.

Being discussed on SKY news.

Maybe another defection, maybe rubbish but one jurno reckons 4 defections before GE in total.

Max,

I would suggest you reread what I wrote and the engage a few grey cells.

Are these 3 delights moving to UKIP as well?

Arron Banks: Millionaire Tory donor defects to Ukip with £100,000 donation






A multi-millionaire Tory donor has defected to Ukip, announcing he will be giving Nigel Farage’s party a £100,000 boost on the day of David Cameron’s conference speech.


It is one of the largest single donations ever given to the Eurosceptic party and is expected to strengthen its upcoming by-election campaigns.

Arron Banks, who has made substantial donations to the Conservatives over a number of years, is the latest supporter to jump ship in recent weeks, Sky News reported.

MPs Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless were the first to leave, followed by the former Deputy Mayor of London, Richard Barnes.

Mr Banks told Sky News he does not believe the Prime Minister will reform the EU or facilitate the UK's exit from it in the event of an “out” vote in the promised referendum.

“Being a member of the EU is like having a first class ticket on the Titanic. Economically, remaining in the EU is unsustainable."

But it is alright he is just a nobody!

=======

What is interesting is the commentary that "Cameron is setting out his stall for the G.E."!

When the remark was made the response heard was that the remark was being derogatory about stallholders.

Another remark about the tory conference in Birmingham was that the Spivs were back in town!


Perhaps, it was a conference for nobodies!

I am in the taimaio tenerife gf

Drinking a. Pint

Camorons been speaking 10 minutes and hes come out with at least a dozen lies.

He wants a country where you get something for something not something for nothing, ohhhhhhhhh indeed Samantha and Dave.

Excellent speech. What an improvement on Milibland.

Anythings an improvement on millibum.

At some point closer to the GE, the public will realise that they can't tolerate Milibland as PM. The same thing happened when Kinnock was ahead and lost badly on the day. It is an OMG moment, "we might have Milibland as our leader; shit".

Promises he wont be able to keep im afraid.

With Milibland, it is promises that he can't remember.
