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.

fred - if DM was at the helm, labour would be a shoo-in ..... as it is, they find themselves with a millstone (and the wrong miliband) round their necks ..... i bet the tories are campaigning hard to give unite and similar hard-left unions even more power in choosing the labour leader!


The media and dirty tricks office would be playing the same smearing against David as they are about ED.

The only differences I see, is that David is more TV presentable and appears more fluent as he hasn't the Ed's nasal impediment. (Just one more bridge to cross.)
They are ideologically very similar views.

(I have 4 daughters who scrapped when they were growing up, but are closer and helpful and caring to one another than ever. They enjoy one another’s success and are not stunted, as some appear to be, by past rivalries.)

I think Hilary is correct in post 49530.

Uma seems very sensible and thoughtful, but not sure whether the voters are ready to accept him in that role. Ed has same problem to lesser degree at the moment.

Also, agree with her that UKIP is trading on racist emotions and individuals who want to have somebody to blame or scapegoat for their own inadequacies.
Farage, is depending on this to help in his “race” to power.

My guess it is beginning to blow back in his face!

Cameron has been suckered into the game.

Haze,

I have just watched the video of QT and thought it one of the most sensible and thoughtful programme QT I have watched for a long time.

Not rabble rousing and even the tory seems to have adopted a centralist position.

Even found myself agreeing with Melanie Philips more times than I thought I would ever do.

Why don't YOU calm down , you were very cool when you were Slater in your younger day's

Doodlebug challenged to a gentlemans bet on the flyb board. Will he chicken out?????????

‘Muttering’ Labour MPs will wreck Miliband’s election chances, says Hain

let's hope so!

Haze.

Explanation from Part HQ please!

C+P from Trader thread!

PS.

Haze.

While you are there is there anymore news about Hague not retiring and running for party leadership again!

Seems rumour is getting stronger.

Hope is hasn't dashed you hopes!

Hays you can slate Milly as much as you want with the aid of the right wing press but the fact is your still going to lose the GE.

Camoron is a far bigger liability and things arent going well at the EEC meeting.

Panic in the Labour party: With six months until the election, Miliband's poll ratings are worse than Callaghan, Kinnock, Major, Hague, Howard and Brown before they ALL marched their parties to defeat

Problem is goldfinger that you are not a gentleman, never have been and never will. I don't bet with blokes who think it's funny and clever to thump people in golf clubs.

It is tempting to unfiltered gf, but on balance life is more pleasant not reading gf and Fred.

It sounds like gf is imploding again. It's a bit early in the day for the hard stuff. Although the psychotropic drugs may be wearing off. Time to take another dose maybe!

The poroblem is, I suppose, that if you take these drugs over a long period of time they don't have any effect after a while!

LOL Hays have I to post up the remarks posters made about you across the road???????

Doodlebug now labeled a chicken, see the FLYB thread.

Is that by the posters who edit posts and then get their knuckles rapped for breaking the User's Terms & Conditions, gf ?

We all know Hays you dont have either of us on filter, like I said the other day if you had you must be able to see through walls.

Has someone been breaking the T&Cs? Surely it couldn't be someone who constantly makes comments about others doing the same. That would just be hypocrisy, surely!

on the other hand, thumping on the rugby pitch is almost invariably put down to handbagging and the perpetrators told to behave themselves :-)

DB4,

Are you a gentleman?

I thought that was a relish!

Haze,

I would have thought with your personal knowledge of hypocrisy you could write a book on it.

Pop down to Party HQs and they will instruct you what to write.

you mean he smells like a rancid anchovy? :-)
