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.

Haze,
The tory party is toxic.
None of the other parties would support them, or even touch them, other than, perhaps UKIP.
Read the rules for dissolution of parliament.

Haze and Manuel,
Found you perfect leaders for the torrid party!
David Mellor, of football shirt fame and running mate Boris famed for many things.
David Mellor 'swore at taxi driver' during route row
I wonder if he will deny it and lose the files?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30188899
Former Conservative cabinet minister David Mellor has been secretly recorded having a heated row with a London taxi driver, a newspaper has reported.
He was recorded swearing at the driver and arguing about the best route to take, according to The Sun.
Mr Mellor called the man "stupid" and told him to "shut up", the newspaper said. He also recounted some of his lifetime achievements.
Mr Mellor told the paper the driver had "seriously provoked" him.
'Just shut up'
Mr Mellor got into the taxi with partner Penelope, Lady Cobham, outside a restaurant in Marylebone High Street, central London, at 17:50 GMT on Friday.
The couple wanted to go five miles to St Katharine Docks, east London, and were charged £29, the paper said.
In the recording Mr Mellor, 65, who served as national heritage secretary in Sir John Major's government, is alleged to say: "You don't know as much about London as I do."
He adds: "You've been driving a cab for 10 years? I have been in the cabinet, I am an award-winning broadcaster, I'm a Queen's Counsel, you think your experiences are anything compared to mine? Just shut up.
"Drive me whichever way you want, and keep a civil tongue in your head."

The Libs will keep most of their seats due to the way voting works in the UK. LIB support is based in a small number of constituencies. UKIP may still end up with no seats at all. Their current two seats will have to be won again at the GE when it will not be a protest vote.

For Fred The Red to call the Tory party toxic is almost a compliment from him. Apart from Scotland, how about Wales? NHS running fine there is it under Labour controlled councils?

Hays in denial again.
For God sake man Labour in the last 3 polls are 5 points ahead of you.
Add on the 1.7% because of First Past The Post and they are easily the party with most seats.
You do talk silly when you refuse to accept the pollsters dont include Scotland.
What a fool.

Dear Mr Cameron,
Language is a wonderful thing, Mr Cameron, but its deliberate use and abuse to manipulate, oppress, use and abuse others is not just vile, it is an assault on their humanity and dignity and as such it is a violation. The language of psychology is a young discipline, less than 100 years old, and yet in that time it has made great advances to help and enable people to live more fulfilling and better lives, especially those who have suffered some kind of life trauma. However, there is a dark and ominous side to psychology, exemplified by the work of Edward Bernays, in which psychology is used to manipulate and control others. It is not too strong a description to say that such manipulation is psychological rape, after all if you control the mind you control the person. One needs to look no further than Nazi Germany to see how successful mind manipulation (propaganda) can be.
It’s interesting reading a report on your one foray into the world of work, 7 years as a PR man for Carlton TV. I’d guess that working for and with Michael Green must have groomed your skills at manipulation well, especially in someone described by Sky News business presenter Jeff Randall thus – “I wouldn’t trust him with my daughter’s pocket money”. The point being that you are clearly no stranger to the dark arts of PR and manipulation.
Since you inveigled your way into number 10 you and your government have relentlessly and fairly successfully sought to manipulate and change the social perception of the poor as malingerers and by constant inference, as people who do not want to get on, thus laying the ground work for your war on the poor and the role of Iain Duncan Smith as the orchestrator of his all out onslaught against the poorest and most vulnerable people in society.
It comes as no surprise to discover that a letter demanding the presence of a woman who is over 90 to a ‘Service Compliance Office Interview’, was couched in language designed to intimidate and overwhelm, especially in an aged person. Language, indeed, worthy of the Third Reich. Less ‘Nudge Unit’, more like assault. I understand that you have been raised and trained to have an incredibly thick skin but that doesn’t make you fit for office, quite the reverse. Currently trending on Twitter is the hash tag #CameronMustGo, indeed, along with the rest of your bully boy thugs.

Cynic just go on holiday then and when you return complain like mad, you'd be amazed at the compensations that get paid out! Most ABTA bonded tour-operators just don't have the capacity to fully deal with complaints plus the cost of tribunal puts them off defending themselves anyway..

When i grows up to I, you can have a holiday.
But if it wasn't so serious the political scene would be funny.
With the clowns at the centre of government, and a clown like Farage looking in from the outside!
I used to like clowns!
Sang at party Central Office:
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns? Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

New crackdown on welfare to lift the economy by £7bn
A CRACKDOWN on welfare handouts is to be massively expanded next year, Iain Duncan Smith will announce today.
By: Macer Hall
Published: Tue, November 25, 2014
The Tory Work and Pensions Secretary is to promise that his universal credit benefit system will be delivered by a third of job centres by next spring.
And he insisted the new payment, which replaces six other benefits for jobseekers, will boost the economy by about £7billion a year by encouraging welfare claimants back into work.
Mr Duncan Smith last night launched a blistering attack on Labour for leaving millions of claimants addicted to handouts.
Labour left us with a welfare state that simply wasn’t fit for purpose
Iain Duncan Smith
He said: “Labour left us with a welfare state that simply wasn’t fit for purpose, spending billions of taxpayers’ money on a system that frequently trapped the very people it was supposed to help in cycles of worklessness and welfare dependency.
“It was so complicated you needed a maths degree to see if it was worth taking a job.

Haze and Manuel,
Are the Confidence Trickster's party trying to lose the next election?
Perhaps, if so, the wisest thing they are doing in the last 5 years!
