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.

Manuel,

I am sure he could find a few good reasons to do so.

I will help him to.

More seriously I thought the charts thread very helpful and informative and I would like him to continue and ignore the "S Bs" (silly boys).

DB4.

Although, I would not choose the proscribe words about you, I am sympathetic with him using the descriptive words in post addressed to you on many occasions.

thank you fred for your conciliatory words ...... sometimes we all get wound up and grumpy, and usually for rather silly reasons

I don't mind harmless banter, but I object to nasty insults. Gf can't seem to understand the difference and I'm not prepared to keep massaging his inflated ego by continually asking him to continue posting on the chart thread. I agree with Chris Carson's view about that, although I might choose different language to express my sentiments.

I didn't post any comments on the chart thread at the weekend.

Fred I can't believe that you are so gullible to think that a "Mansion Tax" would be used to fund the NHS.!

The Clacton result won't have any great significance. The one that will really matter is the Reckless seat of Rochester and Strood. In that seat Reckless got a poor reception from the public the day after his announcement. Clacton was always going to go to the incumbent MP as he was so popular locally. The other by election today for Heywood and Middleton is probably more important for UKIP and more interesting. It could be a straight choice between Labour and UKIP. The result has the chance of terrifying Labour.

So, you've written off Clacton?


The other one is so inbred labour, nothing will get them out (short of a miracle)

Altho the bint that was selected must make ordinary working class people shudder, and so, you never know...but I cant see it.

It is not that UKIP will take the seat. It is to what extent they take votes from Labour. Labour have started to worry that UKIP may also infect them as well.

They damn well ought to Haystack!


It's time the pols started to take notice.

ohh stop trying to DEFLECT Hays the turnout at Heywood was only 36% come the GE its a Labour cake walk no matter what % UKIP nab tonight. Re count going on so what.

Its seats that count and labour will be Evens tonight, Tories will be -1 and further defections are on the way from Tory to UKIP.

Next Monday the House of Commons will hold an unprecedented vote on a motion to recognise a Palestinian state. The vote is non-binding on the Government, and thus will have scant impact on the effectively defunct Middle East peace process, or on Britain’s stance at the United Nations.

As a permanent member of the Security Council, Britain has long kept its head below the parapet on the issue, abstaining the last time the question arose at the UN, in November 2012 when the General Assembly voted by a resounding 138 to 9 to elevate the Palestinians to non-member observer status. This time though Parliament should go further and back recognition of statehood. What hopes remain of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rightly seen as the only long-term answer, demand no less – as does simple justice.

Have you all got hangovers celebrating UKIP win . I new you were all secret supporters.

Sorry, knew.

You little tinkers, eh.

Where are Wavey Dave and Georgie porgie?

Are they in hiding?

There is light in the distance for them.

Their independent economic success




Time to leave their bunk holes!

Hear Cameron is still trying to duck Farage in TV debate.

Also trying to duck pre-election debates with Clegg and Miliband.

Sending Groaner Shapps instead!


Come on Dave, you can run but not duck.

Update - Labour lead at 5
by YouGov in Politics
Fri October 10, 2014 6 a.m. BST

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 9th Oct - Con 30%, Lab 35%, LD 9%, UKIP 15%;

Clacton is of minor importance, but Heywood was a major slap in the face for Labour who only won by 672 votes in a safe Labour seat after a recount. This is going to be a major distraction for Labour in the coming months.

On another point, Labour look like losing between 20 and 30 seats in Scotland to the SNP in the north west and Glasgow. This could have serious consequences for Labour's count of MPs.

My analysis on last nights results,

1. Heywood, 36% turnout, and Labour still get a small win BUT those numbers that voted UKIP will be more or less the same when the GE comes around and Labours vote will increase greatly on a say 60% turnout.

TREND...... The North of England is seeing UKIP becoming the challenging party rather than the Tories. The problem being they will be a poor second best.

As per Scotland the Tories will have limited seats in the North of England.

2. Dougies expected win.

Again the UKIP vote volume will stay more or less where it is at the GE, but this is still enough to give them victory. The Tories will close the gap, but it wont be enough.

TREND....... Reckless to win for UKIP In a few weeks time.

Some are saying UKIP will nab about 18 seats off of the Tories at the GE, and about 4 from labour if they are very lucky.

The political pundits are a waste of time.


What are the real experts (the bookies) saying?
