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.

Analysis
Labour and Conservatives are now polling within just a point of each other, with the Tories having narrowed the Labour lead. This will be worrying for Labour leader Ed Miliband.

An analysis by Ipsos Mori of polling data from the three months ahead of polling day in each election campaign since 1992 found that the party's wafer thin lead over the Conservatives can only go down from this point.

What is clear is that it seems unlikely that either party would be able to secure a majority, meaning another coalition is on the cards.

The rise of other parties such as Ukip, the Green Party and the SNP could mean any one of them being called up to help form a coalition government.

If you do give me a bell and I will come and watch.

I am a sadist at heart.

4 foot of snow promised.

Instructions go out to suppress the news.


Cameron lost somewhere with his huskies.

Suppress the news.

8-)

(Good PR.)

Having realised I am a sadist, bought a few SBs longs on wide stops.

UMMMMH.

depends on whether you think dow will jump or dump when yellen speaks

prob with indicating that rates will rise is that $ is already very strong
there's also the underlying factor that though the US economic recovery has been strong, latest numbers have generally had cautious to weak outlook and further, US wages have (also!) not been increasing

Cyners when is Yellen speaking please?

It was the Mirror

Farage has admitted setting up offshore trust. His current view is that it was a mistake and he regrets it...........ends

Hays you shouldnt be complaining this is the kind of thing YOU applaud and support. Is it because you and your boys fear him.

i presume at 19:00 this evening

farage - as i said when the post went up, why shouldn't he?

Ukip has been plunged into crisis after senior activists and a general election candidate quit over the violent past of a campaign chief.

Nigel Farage has given his '100 per cent' backing to county organiser Paul Lovegrove after a storm sparked by his previous convictions for assault.

The row has seen Don Jerrard quit as Ukip candidate in Fareham and sent shockwaves across the party in Hampshire, where Mr Lovegrove is in charge of the election campaign.

Mr Lovegrove has served two prison sentences - one for wounding with intent in 1996 and one for actual bodily harm in 2000, the Portsmouth News reported.

His past has been the subject of heated rows at Ukip meetings, culminating in Mr Jerrard abandoning plans to stand at the election.

Former Portsmouth City Councillor Paul Godier and ex-Fareham and Gosport chairman Bob Ingram have also left the party, blaming Mr Lovegrove's criminal past.

He was jailed for two years when he got into a fight over a family feud and grabbed a bread knife before slashing a man across the face. He served a year behind bars.

He received a number of criminal convictions for drug possession but then went to college in an attempt to turn his life around.

However, he then got into a fight with a man but fled to Spain to avoid a charge of actual bodily harm.

With his partner he had two children on the Costa Del Sol, before returning to England after five years.

He claims he was later beaten up in Guildford, and was charged with an allegation of sexual assault at knifepoint.

He was cleared of this offence at a trial but was jailed for 12 months for the earlier actual bodily harm charge.

However, Mr Farage is standing by Mr Lovegrove, insisting 'people deserve a second chance in life'.

He told the newspaper: 'Mr Lovegrove may have fallen off the rails earlier in his life but he is now totally reformed and we are standing by him 100 per cent. We knew about his past.

'With any political party, having people from all walks of life is a bonus. After all you can't have every party full of Oxbridge graduates.'

So where's your off shore A/C Alf?

You can guarantee that UKIP and Labour will be plunged into crisis several times before the GE. Miliband alone will contribute several major gaffs. There is bound to a 'bigoted woman' moment heading his way.

LOL Hays the peodo scandal is going to hit the papers any day now. Camoron and your boys will have fingers pointed at ETON.

Cheers Cyners. 15 minutes to go then.

stan - i have none; used to have a perfectly legit off-shore biz a/c in bahrain, but it was too much of a pain so brought it back to uk

Check what the outsourcing was use for.


It was to make up for the failures of the previous tory administration.

Check what it was use for and the results and if you have a brain look underneath the figures for the real reasons why.


Also, after 4 years of tory incompetence and a Lansley 4 billion pound "reorganisation" (some would say attempt to Privatised) the NHS have a look at how the NHS and Welfare Services are beginning to and actually failing the the voters.

The voters are not as daft as you or the tory elitists think they are.

"The failures of the previous Tory administration" Which administration are you referring to Fred and which years?
