THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Max,

Be careful the Cons Party and Shapps are going to pinch your emblem and future policies.

Haystack - 23 Nov 2014 12:07 - 51031 of 81564

Privatise the lot!

Can he go much lower?

6% of Sun readers say Miliband would be good PM

London (AFP) - A poll in The Sun on Sunday found that just six percent of people who read Britain's biggest-selling newspaper think Labour leader Ed Miliband is prime ministerial material.

The survey came as Labour backbencher David Lammy, a London mayoral hopeful, warned the party was "culturally adrift" from its own supporters.

The YouGov poll overall put Labour on 34 percent, the Conservatives on 33 percent, the UK Independence Party on 15 percent and the Liberal Democrats on eight percent.

However, among Sun readers, the Conservatives were on 38 percent, UKIP on 28 percent, Labour on 25 percent and the Lib Dems on three percent.

Six percent of the red-top tabloid's readers think opposition leader Miliband would make a good prime minister, the poll found. Conservative premier David Cameron scored 33 percent, UKIP chief Nigel Farage 17 percent and Liberal leader Nick Clegg two percent.

Some 75 percent of Sun readers said immigration was the most important issue facing Britain, while 21 percent thought there should be a block on all immigration. Six in 10 would vote to leave the European Union.

The survey comes following UKIP's by-election win in Rochester and Strood on Thursday and amid the Labour snobbery row surrounding it.

The row, which forced Emily Thornberry to resign from the Labour shadow cabinet, tied into claims that they are losing working-class support to the anti-mass immigration, anti-EU UKIP.

"We are going to take the fight to UKIP," said a Labour spokesman.

"There is only one party that wants an economy which is geared to help working people and paying off the deficit in a fair way and that's Labour."

Farage said: "This poll reflects what has been clear to us for some time -- that UKIP is eating into the Labour vote. Ed Miliband and his team have been burying their head in the sand over this for too long."

Meanwhile a Conservative spokesman said the May general election would be a "straight choice" between Cameron and Miliband as prime minister.

"David Cameron has the plan and the leadership to deliver more growth, more jobs and a brighter future," he said.

"But Ed Miliband is too weak to take the difficult decisions to secure Britain's recovery.

"All he offers is more borrowing, more spending and more taxes."

Meanwhile Lammy said politicians from "liberal, professional backgrounds" found it difficult to identify with regular working people.

"The Labour Party feels culturally adrift, not just from large parts of Britain, but from its own traditional working class base," the former universities minister wrote in The Mail on Sunday.

"Large parts of the country feel that Labour not only disagrees with them, they think we disapprove of them too.

He said the party's "discomfort hinges on immigration".

"By and large, modern Labour politicians come from liberal, professional backgrounds," he wrote.

"They have benefited from globalisation -- they mix in social circles with people who work in multinational firms, enjoy foreign travel and find diversity enriching.

"Much of Labour's traditional electoral base does not feel this way.

"This is what UKIP is tapping into -- and Labour has to have an answer."

'I got it wrong' says MP as England flag tied to her home

It looks like he may have earned a quid or two with sponsorship and interviews.

Just another "Con" Party Murdoch oink.. in fact a H/S self photo.

But it was the money spent on those groups that is part of the problem.

Haze,

I hope you, Cameron, Osborne and Cynic have at least 5 large Union Jacks doll on your various house and properties.

As well as one on the back and one on the front of your cars.

Make it easier when the revolution comes.

It the culture which matters.

Fred1new - 23 Nov 2014 13:30 - 51040 of 81564

Haze,

Hear Grunt Shapps is printing a list of UKIP target seats for the tories at the G/E.


Should be fun.

Why not lick a bit more and they may offer you a chance, as their barrel is emptying very quickly.

There are three polls in this Sunday’s papers – Opinium in the Observer and two separate YouGov polls, one in the Sunday Times and one in the Sun on Sunday.
Opinium has topline voting intention figures of CON 30%(+1), LAB 33%(+1), LDEM 7%(-2), UKIP 19%(nc), GRN 4%(nc) (changes are from their last published voting intention figures a fortnight ago (tabs are here).
YouGov’s two sets of voting intention figures are CON 33%, LAB 34%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 15% in the Sun on Sunday poll, and CON 33%, LAB 33%, LDEM 7%, UKIP 16%, GRN 6%

Well I don't believe it.

U-bend Cameron promises are broken again.

What should the country expect of him?


'Unlikely' we will meet immigration target - Theresa May


Home Secretary Theresa May has said the government has been trying to bring net migration down to the tens of thousands.

LOL......nice one Max, outdone Hays.

Fred1new - 23 Nov 2014 15:09 - 51047 of 81564

GF,

Do you think Cameron will make it to the G/E?


Can hear the knives being sharpened from here.


Is Hague tearing up his resignation, or Boris putting his "pants" on?
