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.

Where's Haze.
Is he in Rochester propping up a bar and crying into his Gin and Tonic, tonic, tonic.
Hear the results look promising and many of the con party right are counting their majorities and wondering if they flee the party now, or become unemployable in May.
Is it true, that Cameron and Osborne have been asked not to help in the canvassing in certain marginal seats in May?

Cameroon has nothing to gain by taking part in any debate, he'd simply be shown up as the cardboard cut-out that he is.

Cameron isn't a cardboard cut-out by any stretch of the imagination. He's highly intelligent, and he's actually doing a great job (as is George Osborne) under very difficult circumstances of eradicating the awful mess that Gordon Clown left the UK in.
His problem is that he's perceived by the public as a slimeball. The public don't want a leader they can 'call Dave' - 99% of the public haven't been through Oxbridge with its ivory towers, and they expect their leaders to be people they can look up to and respect.

Meanwhile the fortnightly Opinium poll for the Observer has topline figures of CON 29%(-4), LAB 32%(-1), LDEM 9%(+3), UKIP 19%(+1).

You can now get 6/1 on CON to win overall majority. This is the longest price ever.
The demise of the Tories as a majority party.

I'm not interested in polls, Fishfinger. I told you before, look at the bookies and the let the trend be your friend till the bend at the end.
Conservative odds of getting most seats have been shortening over recent weeks, while Labour's odds have been drifting. By May, there's every probability that the Tories will get an overall majority if the trend continues. It could even be a landslide once the UKIPpers start to realise where their bread's buttered.

Hiliary,
The public are seeing Cameron for what he is "he's perceived by the public as a slimeball."
I think that is a fair appraisal.
But it is strange that Wilson and MacMillan and many others weren't seen in the same way. (Even if tarred by Oxford or Cambridge.)
But you have hit the nail on the head they public generally fall out with lying hypocrites and the eventually recognise one when they see him or her.

Britain is not prepared to remain in Europe "come what may" and Brussels needs to address people's concerns about immigration, David Cameron has said.
The Prime Minister said that "proper" controls on immigration are needed including reforms to movement within the European Union.
He said that Britain will not be "ordered around" by other European Union countries in the single currency union.
He told the Confederation of British Industry: "Britain will only succeed in Europe if we are a strong economy.
"From your economic strength comes a lot of your power in international engagement."You never get anywhere in life unless you have a clear strategy and plan.
"Frankly, Britain's future in Europe matters to our country and it isn't working for us at the moment and that's why we need to make changes.
"[We want to] belong to a Europe that addresses people's concerns, including concerns about immigration.
"Simply standing here saying I will stay in Europe and stick with Europe come what may is not a strategy, is not a plan and that won't work."
On immigration, he added: "We need to have proper immigration control. We need to do more, both outside the European Union and, frankly, inside the European Union.
"But the flipside of the coin on immigration is a welfare system that rewards work and an education system that turns out people with the skills necessary to do the jobs that we are creating in our country today.
"No immigration policy will succeed unless it's accompanied by that welfare and that education reform as well."

Napoleon,
Why don't you stand for PM, as the opposition looks pretty weak.
Take your white stick with you.
