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.

The ratio of haves to have nots is increasing in "wealth and income", but the number of votes for the moderates and left is not!

The majority of voters are although apathetic at the moment by the time of the G.E. will be more aware of the damages done by Osborne and IDS and Cameron in different ares.

1) NHS Failings.
2) Welfare cuts of extended families.
3) Repayments of University fees
4) Lack of housing.
5) FOOD BANKS queues.
6) Scorn of other EU members.
7) Soured EU and International relationships. Who see Cameron for what he is and don't like him.
8) Probably downward moving GDP, partially due to previous.
9) Failure in Education
10) Failure on their cock eyed boasts on immigration
11) Failure on recruitment for cut back military forces.
12) Corruption charge and Loss of evidence from Paedophile investigations
14) Power shortages?
15) Exposure of TAX DODGING
ETc, ect

What are the tory odds?

Revealed: how coalition has helped rich by hitting poor
Study shows gains for wealthier half of population, delivering a blow to George Osborne’s claims on fairness


======


■ Sweeping changes to benefits and income tax have had the effect of switching income from the poorer half of households to most of the richer half, with the poorest 5% in the country in terms of income losing nearly 3% of what they would have earned if Britain’s tax and welfare system of May 2010 had been retained.

■ With the exception of the top 5%, who lost 1% of their potential income, it is the better-off half of the country that has gained financially from the changes, with an increase of between 1.2% and 2% in their disposable income.

■ The top 1% in terms of income have also been small net gainers from the changes brought in by David Cameron’s government since May 2010, which include a cut in the top rate of income tax.

■ Two-earner households, and those with elderly family members, were the most favourably treated, as a result of direct tax changes and state pensions respectively.

■ Lone-parent families did worst, losing much more through cuts in benefits and tax credits and higher council tax than they gained through higher income tax allowances. Families with children in general, and large families in particular, also did much worse than the average.

■ A quarter of the lowest paid 10% have shouldered a particularly heavy burden, losing more than 5% of what would have been their income without the coalition’s reforms.

Fred, would you vote for Katie Price if she was your local Labour candidate?!

fred doesn't vote!

while you guy have been have been wasting your w/e by bickering on and on and on, you might have found reading ST financially beneficial for the morrow ..... both QPP and (i think) IGas Energy are due for further tumbles

Fred has a signed portrait of Gordon Brown on his living room wall. A Neil Kinnock alarm clock which plays the red flag to get him up in the morning.

Lol

There is no incentive to get Boris into parliament. The party is happy with Cameron. There may be a few eurosceptics that are not, but they don't have enough influence.

Realistically, we are not going to leave the EU no matter what variety of government gets in. The closest to it will be a Conservative clear majority. Even then, there will be talks over rules changes. The upshot is most likely that the government will recommend a stay in response in a referendum and the public will go for that. The public doesn't like uncertainty and that is why the Scottish referendum failed.

At least with the scenario above, you have a chance of a vote. No other combination of parties will give you that.

.

DB4,

Who is Kate Price?

I haven't a clue.

And I have no intention of voting.

I am sure Hazeone is losing any of the marbles he ever had or is in complete denial.

The whole of the tory party is in disarray and fermentation over Europe with about 100 tory camp follower (sorry tory right wingers) siding with UKIP and splitting it more and more.

They can't stand the two faced leader they have and I would be surprised if a lot more "Cons" don't run under the UKIP banner before or after the G.E.

Doomed dear boy! Doomed!

Here's a picture of Katie Price, taken last September just before she was rushed in for emergency surgery for her then pregnancy:

My mum wouldn't allow me to bring a girl like that home,.

Damn.

Mind a girl like that wouldn't come home with me!

she's a bit old for you fred

That is what my mum would have said.

I did think I could smuggle her home and tell my wife she had come to be my nurse.

But, I thought again and when I realised that there may be two people looking after my needs, and both believing in euthanasia
==-=-=-=-

Anyone watching IM A CELEB GET ME OUT OF HERE????

Melanie Sykes to win it, (northern lass)

Top totty aswel although I think the Yank bird is supposed to be the one we take most notice of under the water fall. Doesnt impress me at the moment mind havent seen her with her kit off yet.

Jimmy Bullard looks a bit soft.

Looks good :-))



Sorry Michael I forgot you -

Is that a conservative party conference?

DC Carl Foggerty could also be one of the favourites.

Yes. We are watching I'm a Celeb' too.

I would be OK with a bet on Mel Sykes to win it too, GF. She is also pretty brave. :-)

Foggy seems quite popular and is excellent at hiding a snake in his shorts. "Careful to make sure you take the right one out," he instructed the help. Tests for him will be a walkover. :-)

The fat lass, Gemma Collins, looks quite succulent in the shower (nice) but she is also a great big wimp and will be a disaster with the trials and tests (not nice). :-)
