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.

Today the French press and social media are convulsed with a hat-related collective “Why is our president an embarrassing jerk?” spasm.

Guido would like to point out that “Hollande” is the French word for “Miliband”…

We have nothing in common with the French socialists, nothing at all.

And anyway what the heck do they have to do with Camoron getting his ass whacked.

That's right. We have nothing in common with them. That is because we don't have a socialist government!

Clegg was thrashed by Harman and also a point of order was made (by Andy Burnham) against his lie that Labour privatised that hospital he made so much of.

Hes now had to send a groveling apology note.


Your out of touch with reality , it could become a serious mental condition

What do you mean "could" become a serious mental condition, it already has!

Labour leader Ed Miliband failed a challenge to come up with an eight-word election slogan, even after using his fingers

Ed Miliband's attempt to show he has a firm grasp of numbers backfired when he failed to sum up his message to voters in eight words.

The slogan the Labour leader chose "a country that works for you, not the privileged few" ran to 10 words, exceeding his budget by a quarter.

The advertising challenge came as Mr Miliband answered questions following a speech in the City of London in which he sought to bolster Labour's economic credentials by promising a responsible approach to eliminating the deficit and ruled out extra borrowing to pay for manifesto commitments.

Asked for a one-line message to put on a billboard in Piccadilly Circus by Andrew Morley, the chief executive of advertising firm Clear Channel, Mr Miliband responded "how many words do I have?"

Mr Morley told him: "Let's say eight."

The Labour leader said "eight?", then counted on his fingers before deciding: "What I would say is 'a country that works for you, not the privileged few'."

He added: "I think that's what people want to know about this country.

"People want an inclusive country, that is the One Nation vision.

"People want to know that we get the point that we can change the country and we are hearing what people are saying about the way the country needs to change."

The Labour leader gives a speech in which he pledges to deliver ‘common sense spending reductions’ – but won’t say what they are until after the election

Ed Miliband was somewhere you might not have expected to find him: the London HQ of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. This felt mildly surprising, because the job of an accountant, after all, is to help clients minimise the tax they pay. But perhaps Mr Miliband’s audience was a group of special Left-wing accountants, dedicated to helping rich, Islington-dwelling clients maximise the tax they pay.

“Is that Soakem & Blowitt? Yes hello, I wonder if you could help me. This 45p rate I pay is far too low. What would you advise?”

“Have you considered smoking 4,000 cigarettes a day, madam? Tremendous duty on tobacco these days. Plus with a bit of ‘creative licence’ I reckon we can persuade HMRC your income is twice as big as it actually is!”

The Labour leader had come to give a speech. It would, the press was informed, contain a significant announcement about the deficit. Frankly, we’d have considered it pretty significant if it contained the word deficit at all – and happily, unlike his speech at party conference, it did. Twenty-four times, in fact. Labour, declared Mr Miliband, would “deal with” the deficit. It would “tackle” the deficit. It would even “reduce” the deficit.

By this point you may be thinking, “Goodness, this sounds like sterling stuff, bravo Miliband, never knew you had it in you. Just one question: how do you plan to go about it?”

This, I’m sorry to report, is where the waters become muddy. At party conference, Mr Miliband forgot to mention the deficit. This time, he forgot to mention how to clear it.

All we were told was that he would enact “common sense spending reductions”. “Common sense spending reductions”, of course, are different from “Tory cuts”, because “Tory cuts” are bad. “Common sense spending reductions”, by contrast, are nice. Indeed, “common sense spending reductions” are if anything better than no cuts at all, because they will enable Mr Miliband to “reshape public services so they deliver better for people”, and achieve the correct “character of growth”.

But exactly what spending, in his common sense way, would he reduce, and by how much? “The right way to make these decisions,” explained Mr Miliband patiently, “is in government.” That is, once he’s “gone into departments” and worked out “how we make these reductions in the most sensible way”.

So, to summarise: he’ll happily tell you what he’s going to cut. But only after you’ve voted for him.

For some reason I have this vague memory of Mr Miliband spending the last two months attacking the Tories for failing to disclose what cuts they’d make in the next parliament. But perhaps I dreamt it.

Naively, journalists persisted in asking what precisely it was that he’d come to announce. Mr Miliband tolerated this intrusion calmly. “Look,” he said, in answer to a question about borrowing. “I want to be sort of clear about this…”

I Want to Be Sort Of Clear About This. He could make that the title of his memoirs.

yes ed I agree tax us well off raise the tax on homes over 1m not 2 m
I would sooner pay more to support the services at the end of the day we all
want a good hospital in the end and good doctors

yes ed raise the taxes on 2m homes and raise income tax
put it to the country to vote on the issue you will win hands down
the voters are not daft they no they need the services more than a few
extra pounds in their pockets and ever one I speak to says they would be happy to pay more , we are not greedy people we want to no we have a doctor and hospital if we ever need it

Russell Brand and Nigel Farage on QT 2nite, all we need is Bob Geldof on the pannel, don't think his never been on QT

only selfish greedy bastards say no they would never help any one .
they work for the devil

I do not mind paying more taxes bring it on

you should not have druggies on the tv

Are talking about Bob Geldof ?

Well said TANKER my friends agree, a few bob on income tax in return for services restored to Labours reign and people would be a lot happier, its just the Nasty selfish Tories who want to pocket everything and have people living in the gutter who stop this.

Wont be long believe me that we are like Germany...... 1st World War.

Just around the corner unless labour get in.

So much for the new EDUCATION secretary............ a private, fee-paying Surbiton High School girl.

pathetic.

I think you'll find that Russell Brand is a reformed user, I wonder if the same could be said of Osbourn??

Sorry for the tardy reply

I am well aware of DC & GO's many failings and U turns, and unlike some on here I do not blindly follow a particular colour.
