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.

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?

Labour Win. And outright.

Here Max.......

Cheers gf.

How long can the cons put off having the Reckless by election?

I would think the longer they put it off the better the chances for UKIP to dig in!

It could be suggested that it may have political advantages for Labour for UKIP have a large majority, even at the expense of labour itself, as long as the majority of defectors are from the tories to UKIP and show the way for those disgruntled tories to default the same way.

-0-0-0-0---

Haze, the Scots may return 20+SNP Mps at the next election.

But with whom would they vote in line with over any important issues.

It is laughable to think that such a result would benefit the Cons in the slightest.

Commenting on last night's by-election results, Frank Field Labour MP said:

'If last night's vote heralds the start of UKIP's serious assault into Labour's neglected core vote, all bets are off for safer, let alone marginal seats at the next election.'

There is major meeting for Labour MPs due. Some key Labour policy makers suggest it is going to be a blood bath with Milibland losing the blood.

Haystack hits back with an uppercut to the jaw.

Some Labour comments today

Senior Lab MP: "Where our problem lies is leadership. Wherever you go you hear "It's your leader." Monday PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party) "could be absolute bloodbath."

Another Lab MP: "Anyone who thinks they can take comfort from Heywood + M needs their head examined." Result "awful...terrible."

Chief Whip Rosie Winterton has a busy weekend ahead. This is going to get quite nasty.

Haystack follows up with punch to the ribs . Can goldie come back.

Ed received another standing ovation for his mime of being trapped in a box

I think although the Kipper party and the Con party would prefer bar room brawls, Ed is playing the Giuoco Pianissimo. Keeping quiet, letting the opposition over reach itself and self destruct.

He can watch and wait for another 6 months, but I bet his feet are pedaling like hell below the surface.

Who would have bet that in 2010, he and labour would have been in such a strong position as they are at present.

Close, but the bookies are on Ed's side.


(The quiet game.)

Don't get cocky Haystack it's only Round 45,568. He may come back with a poll or two.
