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'll forget the question.

Nah,

Cameron isn't deteriorating as quickly as Manuel!

9-)

(Not heard his speech), but I always think that Vince Cable looks like a senator from ancient Rome that has just come out of a too hot steaming bath ! ...he just needs some white robes and a scroll....

Lol

Have you got the scrolls , no i always walk this way

David Cameron promises to withdraw Britain from the European Union (yes – I mean it)

By Andrew Lilico Politics and society Last updated: October 5th, 2014



In his speech to Conservative Party Conference, David Cameron said this:


But we know the bigger issue today is migration from within the EU.

Immediate access to our welfare system. Paying benefits to families back home.

Employment agencies signing people up from overseas and not recruiting here.

Numbers that have increased faster than we in this country wanted…

…at a level that was too much for our communities, for our labour markets.

All of this has to change – and it will be at the very heart of my renegotiation strategy for Europe.

Britain, I know you want this sorted so I will go to Brussels, I will not take no for an answer and when it comes to free movement – I will get what Britain needs.



More lies here: David Cameron promises to withdraw Britain from the European Union (yes – I mean it)

he wasn't going to say, "but sorry chaps, it's almost certainly a complete waste of time", though actually enough may be squeezed out of brussels for DC, if he gets the chance, to mount a respectable campaign for staying in

He can promise all he wants....he wont be leading the cons after the next election anyway.

Indeed, I'm surprised they haven't dumped him already.

Surely he isn't joining UKIP!

Who would they dump him for MaxK? I can't see any better options out there at the moment.

if the tories get re-elected then DC may go, but almost at a time of his choosing

Boris. :-))and Theresa May would stand to be elected.

Bad innit db?

No party has ever changed leader this close to a GE and quite sensibly so. If the Tories lose then he may well leave. If they win, he will not leave quite a time and nor should he. A Tory win is not that unlikely. Labour is showing signs of imploding. Miliband is seriously stuck between left and right. He probably needs to move to the right to get a better chance of winning, but the bulk of his party is pulling him left. That includes himself.

It's not good Max, but one of the most depressing things is that we get such a low percentage of people who go and vote. At least the vote in the referendum showed that people actually cared about the result.

DB4,

Doesn't say much for the tory party.

============

Mind the majority of present politicians are less than appealing.

There are some who I think highly motivated and intelligent but lack the necessary charisma or physical appeal sufficient to enhance their parties chances of being elected.

It seems crazy that "media" appeal is often a factor in choice of leadership.

=========

But Theresa May and Blondy Boris would be good representatives for the tories.


I am not sure which of them makes me shiver the most.

======




=========

Boris may come across as a clown, but Labour should take the threat of his leading the Tory Party deadly seriously.
