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.

He SAID DEBT and Anrew Neal pulled over M Gove to give an explanation which he squirmed out of as usual.
Anyway itl get further coverage, no doubt about that because you just cant trust the Tories.

And remember this if you go to bed on the 7th of May with David Cameron you could waken up the next day laid at the side of Theresa May.

GF,
Actually, Cameron as a ham actor, delivered his speech better than usual, but it was nauseating and crammed with falsehoods.
Reminded me of Hazyone, (Ughh)
Also, reminded me once again of:
‘Etonians,’ said Fraser, ‘are the ultimate pragmatists, totally free of any ideology. Other than the means of getting and gaining power, no conspicuous motives inspire them. It’s not clear that Etonian politicians really believe in much except themselves.’
--------
I don't know if Hazyone was there, but the audience looked like a bunch of puppets or zombies on strings.
I kept on looking for the strings attachments and they were there, scattered all over the speech.
Was the the audience's responses orchestrated or choreographed?
I do like the way attendees looked around to see what they should do.
But he looked false and I would not hire him as a barrow boy leave alone a PR man.
Sickening!
====---------++++
But the audience was made up from a party of nobodies and who will become future liars.

IDS cons Tory conference with two missing universal credit words
Category: Latest news
Created: Tuesday, 30 September 2014 12:48
Iain Duncan Smith announced yet another slowdown of the rollout of universal credit to the Conservative conference yesterday, but managed to make it sound like a success by omitting just two vital words from his speech. Whether he actually lied or was just deeply misleading is for the reader to decide.
In a speech that verged at times on the messianic, but failed to refer at any point to massive waiting times for PIP and ESA medicals, Iain Duncan Smith announced that the roll out of universal credit was to be accelerated.
He told conference that:
“Universal Credit has now rolled out in the North West of England – to couples, shortly to families, to more than 1 in 8 jobcentres by Christmas – safely and securely as we always said.
“But, Conference, today I can announce more.
“I can announce that we are going to accelerate the delivery of Universal Credit…
“… from the New Year, bringing forward the national roll-out through 2015/16 to every community across Great Britain.”
The only problem with this was the two vital words missing from IDS’ speech, but present in the DWP press release – the roll out will only be for ‘single jobseekers’.
In other words:
not for couples;
not for families;
not for people in work;
not for people too sick and disabled to work.
In fact, only for the smallest and simplest group of universal credit claimants for whom no complex software is required at all. This is not a rollout or universal credit at all, it is the rollout of ‘universal credit lite’ to a fraction of the 8 million people who are supposed to be going to be moved onto it.

Cameron now introduces himself as gushing insincerity and a wet hand!
He believes that :
“Sincerity - if you can fake that, you've got it made.”
He didn't make it, except in the perhaps in the bars tory of the conference building.
The hangovers start to-morrow.

Heard another MP is forsaking the tory whip.
