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, since when have you become an expert at what is supposedly going on in Scottish politics?! The people in Scotland decided yonks ago that the Conservative party were not worth voting for, so many of them switched allegiance to Labour and now they have come to the conclusion that Labour are just a poor imitation of the Conservative party. Labour will go down the plughole in Scotland at the GE - nailed on as Hilary would say!

Can it get any worse? Yes it can!

Miliband is the least popular leader EVER:

Devastating poll reveals just 13% think he is ready to be PM as Tories build 3-point lead

IpsosMORI survey: Tories on 32%, Labour 29%, Ukip 14%, Lib Dems 9%

Miliband's net satisfaction rating slumps 10 points to -44 per cent

Figure is worse than anyone who has ever run for Prime Minister

Six months before election, Foot, Brown, Kinnock and Howard were higher

Labour leader preparing make or break speech on what he stands for

Ed Miliband's leadership relaunch is in chaos after a new poll revealed a devastating collapse in his popularity and the Tories pulling into the lead.

As the Labour leader prepares to give a speech setting out what he stands for, his personal ratings have slumped to the lowest level for anyone running to be prime minister for 40 years, worse even than Michael Foot.

With six months until the general election, the IpsosMori survey shows just 13 per cent of people now think he is ready to run the country, with the Tories now three points ahead – the biggest lead for four years.

Even worse than Michael Foot?!!

people vote for a party and its beliefs and promises not its leader.

Whats not to understand about that.

GF.

I thought this should be repeated daily for the next 6 months.

I think IDS had lower polling figures.

Mind he should be put down the drain.

He leaves a stench wherever he goes!

I bet he never stands in front of foxhound pack!

Sure they do, Fishfnger. But it's very easy to get detached from reality when you live in bleak northern mill town with just a few thousand sheep for company.

You're a multi-millionaire (or so you keep telling us). I'm surprised you don't get a little pied-à-terre in K+C, so you could find out what's going on in the real world.

I'd even pop in and say hello from time to time. Or maybe I wouldn't. :o)

Oops, soz. I caught a bit of 'OBC Syndrome' there.

Don't be silly Hilary, he hasn't got a clue what a pied-à-terre is!

Take this quiz to see which party you should support

Your welcome anytime hilary.

Please stop getting upset about your mistake with the EAW, we all make mistakes.

Id rather have someone any day who owns up to there mistake like I will have to, to Cynic come just before the GE over our Interest rates increase spat.

He will get a groveling sincere apology from me here on this thread in front of other posters.

I have no shame or loss of face on that, he simply called it right and I called it wrong, nothing wrong with that it happens in every day life.

ohhhhhhhhh doodlebug getting personal and ON A DAY LIKE TODAY.

Have some self respect man.

That's funny coming from you gf, you have been getting personal on this bulletin board for weeks , even years. It's probably why so many posters have you filtered.I was merely pointing out to Hilary that probably most of what she posts goes totally over the top of your head.

I'm sure that Fishfinger is a cunning linguist, Doods.

Like I said doodlebug have some self respect for yourself and why not push off back over to advfn where you came from to join your distressed friends, who judging from the posts on one companys thread dearly need it. BYE.

Nigel Farage: UKIP could do deal with Labour





UKIP could support a minority Labour government after the next general election, Nigel Farage has said.

Asked by the New Statesman if he could back Ed Miliband as prime minister, he said: "I'd do a deal with the Devil if he got me what I wanted."

The Conservatives have promised a referendum on UK membership of the EU in 2017. Labour will only offer a vote if Brussels demands fresh powers.

Labour said the party was "aiming for victory and a majority government".

In the question and answer style article, Mr Farage was asked what he would do if Mr Miliband said to him: "Look, Nigel, can I have your eight to ten MPs in the coalition and we give you an in-out referendum?"

Mr Farage replied: "That would depend when the referendum was, and the terms."

But pressed on whether he was ruling a coalition out, he replied: "Of course not."

UKIP will be in no position to do a deal after the GE - dream on Nigel.

He'll have mp's.

DB4.

Read what I wrote again.

And then engage the few grey cells if you have any left!

The SNP wouldn't go into a pub with the Cons. even if it was the last pub in town.
