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.

Labour supporters only deal in stereotypes. They don't have the intellect for shades of grey.

The BBC gets accused of being left wing, right wing and all sorts. Israel accuses the BBC of being pro Palestinian and Palestine says it is pro Israel.

Ed Miliband's 'north London set' must be demolished to save Labour, say critics
Former minister Frank Field said the flag incident was 'the most serious thing that has happened' to the party
Labour is dominated by a “north London set” who must be “demolished” if the party is to reconnect with its core support, a senior backbencher warned today.
The recriminations follow the furore over the sacking of Emily Thornberry as a shadow minister after she tweeted a picture of a house draped in three England flags. It was widely interpreted as evidence of a patronising view of working-class voters.
The former minister Frank Field said the flag incident was “the most serious thing that has happened” to the party.
He added: “It’s the north London set we’ve got to control. They are a Berlin Wall trying to prevent us reaching out to our voters, and like the Berlin Wall they’ve got to be demolished. Ed’s trying to move us on immigration and welfare and with one blast of a tweet she wrecks that and puts us back to square one.”
Another former minister, David Lammy, said the party was “culturally adrift” from its traditional supporters. He said politicians from “liberal, professional backgrounds” found it hard to identify with ordinary working people.

Haze,
If Thornberry was patronising and snobbish about a section of the working class, which cloud do you think you and the tory hierarchy are on.
As far a party splits, the con party has never been so split at any time as they are now since the Maggie Thatcher period.
The only reason they haven't split into two separate parties, is that they haven't the guts to stand up and advocate what the believe in.
After their defeat in May the may do so.
They believe in :
"Rugby may be more clever,
Harrow may make more row,
But we'll row for ever,
Steady from stroke to bow,
And nothing in life shall sever
The chain that is round us now,
And nothing in life shall sever
The chain that is round us now."
Also, some of the other aspiring "arse lickers" like yourself are hoping the present lot will protect their own lots at the expense of the UK society as a whole.
My feeling is that at the next election you will "all sink together"!
=======
But looking at the UKIP and some of the tory right wingers could identify themselves with comfortably with "union jackers".
Mob appeal = mob politics and its consequence.
=======
Listening to "Politics Show" , both DOMINIC GRIEVE and GISELA STUART talked sense on the above.

Try eBay - failing that you will just have to convince her indoors that it doesn't really matter if all the door handles match!:-)
