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.

i do find it very strange that sticky is still an active member of his local conservative club
not sure how he manages to square his (alleged) views with the other members .... perhaps the beer is so cheap there that he just buys them round after round from the huge rental income from his o'seas properties

Manuel,
It is a bit like going down to the local zoo or museum to see the content but not really belonging there.
But in your case you may feel at home in either.

Aye, and just in case he's also a member of the local Liberal Club (didn't know they existed). Plastic Man U fan to boot :0)

NHS safe in Dave's hand, as it is at the moment. Creaking and failing and seams coming apart.
What it needs is a few caring scivies and carers of the likes of the Hairy one to sort it out!
It is the track record of this government which will hang it!

Cynic they have all gone over to UKIP. You are behind the times, nobody trusts Cameron or Osbourne anymore.

Doc,
Farage is a racist bigot. He gets away with making soundbites because, in his position, it's easy for him to do. The great British public are stupid, they like to listen to his soundbites and they fall for it.
But, if you think there's going to be a Tory/UKIP coalition after the next election, you really must have rocks in your head. At best, UKIP will get a couple of seats - hardly enough to constitute being a coalition partner.
As I've said previously, Britain operates a two-party political system. It always has done, and it always will do in a first past the post electoral system. Once the Europe issue has been resolved (and, imo, it really does need to be resolved - it's gone on for far too long, and the public should have the right to decide), UKIP will fade into oblivion and Nigel Farage will go back to being a second-hand car salesman.

And, as I've also said before, the best thing imo would be for Cameron to talk to Farage and reach an agreement with him whereby UKIP didn't stand in any Conservative targeted seats, and instead focused on breaking into areas like Rochdale and other northern towns, where there's a predominantly white British red-top reading, Labour-voting population, and where there's also a reasonable immigrant population.
In those seats, the Tories have no chance of getting the Labour vote, but UKIP would have a reasonable chance, especially if the Tories declined to field their own candidates in those constituencies and openly supported the UKIP candidate.

The only northeners who will vote UKIP are disillusioned Tories, the UKIP vote is negligible from labour.
We see the South dominated Tory press and know its all fiddled.

so your pals at the conservative club will vote ukip (right wing tory and more) and are still happy to welcome and drink with the labour voter?
and presumably, the club committee have also decided that you fit in sufficiently with "the rules", always provided you spend plenty behind the bar
i suppose you equate to the token black member of the golf club in atlanta

UKIP appeals in general to ex-tory reactionaries of the likes of Haze who have the courage of their convictions and xenophobic wishing for the days of the Raj.
There will be some defection from labour to UKIP by those who have underlying racial or ethnic phobias, or who wish to "blame" somebody of something for their problems.
The latter have been stirred up by the con party's propaganda and objectifying of different factions of as the cause of the this government's own incompetence.
I think this group is smaller that Farage makes out and probably they are made up usual loud mouths as himself who are found in the bars of the local pubs.
I think as analysis of the CON parties conference continues its holes and failing will become more apparent.
Well done Dave!
