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.

Boris's sister once said that when he was a child he wanted to World King. Of course, as he was born in the US, he could be President of the USA.

Haze,
"I have been to the London Assembly and watched Boris doing Mayor's question time. He is an amazing force. Labour constantly subject him to a barage of questions about various policies. They never lay a finger on him. "
You are becoming thicker and thicker at reading public opinion!
When you mention "Boris", he brings a smile to some people's faces, but it is more often than not accompanied with "ych a fi" or the equivalent!
Another comment such as "another out touch T---", but if you wish to look at the back ground of the prima donnas in the Tory and KIPPERS parties you can understand where that ethos was nurtured.
The tories are trying to save themselves and are digging deeper and deeper.
Long may the work continue.
((the feminine applies well enough in this case)

Ps. If the voters trust Boris with his track record, or their wives, they will be bigger fools than I would give them credit for being.

Haystack, on the Sunday Politics show Andrew Neill has said that he reckons that Labour will lose in the region of 20 seats to the SNP at the GE. Concurs with what you and I think.

And how many on the show did they think UKIP would gain from both parties

I don't think anyone had a clue really and when Neill interviewed Farage all Farage would say was that he wasn't going to make any wild predictions about how many seats UKIP would win at the GE, but he did say he expected more defections from both main parties.

Whatever you may say, I think Cameron and cronies has polarised the country with a large minority of voters bearing to the far right helped on by a public bar haranguer.
The majority of voters lean and vote to the left unless circumstances, like 2008-2010 disillusions them and they wish to revolt against those objectified as the cause.
Hence the continuing attacks by the Right wing press and tory party cohorts trying to lay the blame with Labour for the economic "? collapse".
The Libs for the last 50 years have in general represented the moderate middle voters.
Unfortunately, for the Cons the economy is still in the "doldrums" and looks bleaker than he promised. Also, as Osborne has nothing to give away, except to his own kith and kin and per usual looking around for a scapegoat for his shoddy "work". i.e. his trading partners.
Thankfully, the public no longer believe the Confidence Tricksters!
I think the tories have had it, but Nigel will get the blame!

Fred.
How on earth do you ignore "no more boom and bust" Broon's hand in the economic "collapse"?
How do you do it?

because it doesn't suit his agenda
in honesty, an awful lot of voters are clearly fed up with the present gov't, which in many ways is "unfair"as at the time of the last election, it was recognised by the impartial that the tories were inheriting a poisoned chalice
nevertheless, they have certainly pooped in their own nests far too often over the last 4+ years
on the other hand, miliband is perceived as being pretty gormless and certainly an absolute disaster to be a potential pm
we now see the press everywhere giving ukip a huge amount of publicity, none of it particularly negative - or at least not yet
lib/dems are likely to be blown out of the water, but a surge in snp seats is quite a strong likelihood, at the expense of labour
thus, it'll be very interesting, and perhaps even scary to see how the election and split of seats actually pans out
