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.

off to the club big meeting tobight

This is all playing into the right wings hands.

Farage will be the one who benefits from this and Chubby Dave will be the loser.......big time aswel, add on the NHS in complete melt down and Labour will now walk it into government.

Its so easy the way things are going and just when voters were leaving UKIP to go back to the Tories......ohhhh dear.

Hays must be crying into his crack.

The government in power always benefits from security issues such as terrorism. It provides an opportunity to appear presidential on the world stage. It is why Miliband threw a tantrum when he couldn't meet with Merkel the other day.

I was never leaving UKIP for the Pork Pie Party GF....

not even for a scotch egg?
what about the cheese pasty party?

Hays stop talking stupid, Farage will have a grin like a Cheshire Cat on his face.

You said you werent going to vote shortie If I remember rightly.

Or the Patsy club?

Must admit ive got a bit fed up with politics in the last week or so.

Its too long a run in to the election.

These 5 year fixed terms need to be stopped and go back to the old system.

you have to be a patsy to vote for the cheese pasty party ..... i hear they are kissing cousins with the cheese and union pasty, and they tend to lead to indigestion or even diarrhea

Well I've always voted in the past, mind you there was always someone who I thought worth voting for... Old Nigel Garage scraps the bottom of the barrel but is better than the Pork Pie Party or Ed Miliband's Pheasant Pluckers.

Stupid woman, fancy travelling by train from Aberdeen to Ayr to collect a dog she had seen a picture of on a website. What?!

ohhh indeed indeed Shortie. Indeed.

It is a funny thing that if you try and type Farage on an Android tablet it corrects it to Garage. Smart this new technology!

Good news.

Abu Hamza (Mr two hooks) has been sentenced, in New York, to life in prison.

Excellent. Are his wife and children still living in this country at the taxpayer's expense?

Well well, H/S defects to the kipper Party alert!

Greek minister moves to allay fears of bank run

Gikas Hardouvelis says probability of a bank run is small and deposits are safe, as Greece prepares for snap general election

Greece’s finance minister has sought to allay fears that political uncertainty prompted by snap polls later this month will spark a run on banks, amid worrying signs that savers are rushing to withdraw deposits.

As Athens prepares for a general election on 25 January, Gikas Hardouvelis said the banking system was safe, although he acknowledged mounting evidence that the rich were transferring money abroad. In December alone, €2.5bn left lenders.

“The probability of a bank run is very small; the public understands that deposits are safe,” he said, adding that around €70bn had left Greece since its economic meltdown five years ago.

Hardouvelis conceded that the sudden increase in outflows at the start of a campaign that is expected to become increasingly caustic could not be taken lightly.

“It is still the beginning and we have to watch depositors’ behaviour very carefully,” he told the Wall Street Journal. “You don’t just need a stable government to be formed quickly, you need a government with a clear policy forward.”

Greek investors, led by shipowners and other industrialists, have stepped up transfers of funds since inconclusive presidential polls in parliament forced the two-party coalition government to call the election. One insider said bankers were being instructed to make multimillion-euro transfers daily.

Haze,

I thought privatisation of the NHS was the solution to conservative problems.

Also, it seems the English NHS in spite of money being poured into it by Osborne is worse for delays and treatment that Wales.

You seem very quiet.

Even by your standards Fred, that is a totally asinine comment.
