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.

It seems an awfully long time ago when one could have respect for the Torrid party and its leading lights.

Over the last 30 years, possibly starting from Maggie and Tebbit they have become the party of thugs and under the present lot, some may consider it the party of smear and corruption. Politically moving further to the right than the UKIPPERS and into the BNP.

David Cameron risks losing UK seat to UKIP


I read this headline and hoped it was referring to his own seat.

Outrage as greedy EU demands MORE of your cash

FURY erupted last night over a shock demand for £5.4billion from the European Union.

The surprise claim is likely to further boost Ukip in today’s by-election in Kent. The poll already looks certain to give the party another spectacular victory.

Members of the European ­Parliament demanded the cash – including £680million from British taxpayers – to settle unpaid bills. Anti-Brussels campaign groups were outraged last night about the sudden cash demand.Ukip MEP Jonathan Arnott, the party’s spokesman on the EU budget, said: “It is clear that the EU is beyond reform.

“The only way for Britain to avoid being at the sharp end of more EU bills is to withdraw altogether.” And Jonathan Isaby, of the Tax- Payers’ Alliance, said: “The European Union has gone over-budget, and now wants British taxpayers to help pay the bills. It’s totally unacceptable and the Prime Minister must stand up to these demands.We must get a better deal from Brussels.”

MrT - 50811 - thoroughly agree and that is so right across the board regardless of political hue or even the country involved ...... ditto union leaders and the like

Mr T just needs to start using capital letters and punctuation. (and a new brain)

Conservatives lead at 1

Latest YouGov / The Sun results 19th November -

Con 34%, Lab 33%, LD 7%, UKIP 14%;

Rather out of the blue there was also a Survation constituency poll of Stockton South earlier today – a Conservative held ultra-marginal, currently represented by James Wharton. The poll had topline figures of CON 39%(nc), LAB 37%(-1), LDEM 3%(-12), UKIP 18%(+15). Changes are from the general election and technically represent a tiny swing from Labour to the Conservatives.

heading for a hung parliament
shame we're not heading for hanging politicians too ...... heads on spikes on london bridge wouldn't be a bad idea either!

I am still not convinced that UKIP will have any MPs after the GE. Any gains they make now will have to be won again at the GE. There is plenty of time for UKIP to be discredited.

All party's have tried to discredit UKIP and failed , and their dirty tricks have backfired on them

UKIP confused again last night - bunch of idiots!

UKIP: Should Polish plumbers be deported?

"Go back home". That's the phrase which captures one of the most controversial ideas in British politics - the idea that some immigrants, even those here legally, should be deported.

No wonder then that the failure of UKIP's by-election candidate to clearly reject the idea has caused such a fuss.

Twice last night Mark Reckless was asked whether a Polish plumber who lives in Rochester would be able to stay in the country if Britain decided to leave the EU.

First he said the Polish plumber might be allowed to stay for a fixed period then he said UKIP would look sympathetically at the cases of people who'd been here for a long time.

This morning UKIP said their candidate had been misunderstood.

Then they claimed he'd been asked about illegal immigration. He had not and a Polish person would, in any event, have been here legally.

Hours later the party leader Nigel Farage told me that his candidate was confused after a long campaign.
