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.

This was written before Rochester!
What does this mean for the overall outcome in 2015? Ashcroft says the Conservatives can afford to lose no more than 21 seats to Labour in order to remain the largest party, but they are currently behind in 38. He adds, rather ominously, that ‘we have not yet reached the point at which the Tory losses end’.

PMQs: Cameron mocks Ed Miliband over Scots poll
LABOUR leader Ed Miliband was mocked for “fewer people in Scotland believing in his leadership than the Loch Ness monster” during fierce exchanges in Prime Minister’s questions.
The attack by Prime Minister David Cameron came in the first PMQs since Mr Miliband had faced a failed coup from Labour backbenchers to remove him as Labour leader.
Mr Cameron also raised “the pasting” he received “from a pop star” - Myleene Klass - as he sought to press home Mr Miliband’s discomfort.
The Labour leader challenged the Prime Minister to back the policy at their weekly Commons face-off, complaining that the owner of a £140 million property in Hyde Park would be paying the same as someone whose home was worth “a fraction of that value”.
But Mr Cameron took the opportunity to raise Mr Miliband’s bruising encounter with the model and Hear’Say singer this week, saying she had “wiped the floor” with him.
On ITV’s Agenda, Ms Klass tore into Mr Miliband’s proposal for a levy on properties worth more than £2 million, insisting you could only buy a “garage” in London for that sort of money.
• Only 1 in 50 Scots has full trust in Ed Miliband
She said the tax would hit “little grannies” whose homes had increased in value over decades rather than the super rich.
Mr Cameron said the Government had “made sure that the richest in our country have made a contribution by putting up stamp duty”.
“But the point about this is what we need is a growing economy that is providing the jobs, the livelihoods for our people,” he said.
“That is what we are getting. Whereas what he has had in the past week is a pasting from a pop star.”
He returned to the subject later in the exchanges, joking: “This was the week when Myleene Klass wiped the floor with him in a television programme and this was the week when an opinion poll in Scotland showed that more people believe in the Loch Ness monster than believe in his leadership.
“The only problem for the Labour party is he does actually exist.”
However, Mr Miliband did receive support from Mr Cameron’s coalition partner, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.
Pointing out that all homes worth more than £700,000 currently pay the same council tax, the Deputy Prime Minister told LBC radio his party had long wanted to introduce a mansion tax and Klass was “wrong”.
• Euan McColm: Ed Miliband - down but not out
“She also suggested that all you can buy in London was a garage for £2 million. That’s some garage,” he said. “Let’s get rid of the emotion about calling it, claiming that one person’s normal home is a mansion.
“Why don’t we treat higher value properties in the same banded way of putting council tax bands as we do on lower value properties?
“What is possibly fair about saying to a family who live in a family home in Lewisham that they pay the same council tax as an oligarch who lives in a £13m house?”

Interesting article about Thatcher period of government!
Father claims police covered up son’s murder by Westminster paedophile ring
Vishambar Mehrotra, whose eight-year-old son was killed in 1981, says police ignored tipoff from male prostitute

I wonder how many other cover ups there were during her period in "office"?

Is this related to the missing files?

The news on Friday morning may be shocking enough to revive Labour panic. What happens if they poll 15 per cent? Tory failure has been priced in – has Labour melt-away? How will the 100-odd Labour MPs feel when their vulnerability is dramatised for them? When they look ahead to the loss of their precious seat?
Because it’s all about Ed. Presidential Ed. The teeth of the campaign. The big brain behind it. The single greatest weakness of the party is given the greatest prominence. Who thought that was a good idea?
Ed!

Hays and the devious brotherhood at work again together.
For sure Devious Dave was right when he said 'were all in this together', what he failed to mention was that he was meaning the Tory Party, the Tory Press, and the Tory Media including the BBC whom he obviously as a plant these days.
Tell all the porkies you want Hays but when your Blue Brothers start marching across the floor you know its the beginning of the end for you the tories and by the end I mean historicaly with all your supporters being the older end.
You will be as obsolete as QPP in the financial world.
Crooks caught red handed, red handed by the red hand of Ed Milliband.

Keep it in your pants Jimmy!
Already tipped to be the winner of I'm a Celebrity 2014, ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard has said he will more than likely get his meat and two veg out in camp even though it's not much to look at.Asked about his, er, trousersnake, he said: “It's far from a snake it's more like a worm. It's really embarrassing, seriously, it's really not very big. After following David Haye in the shower, it could be embarrassing. It's so small. it's thin, it's not small, it's just thin.”
