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.

Manuel,
You are a man of frail beliefs and little substance.

unlike you, i am not entrenched in my beliefs, and if that makes them frail, then i am very happy that they should be so
as for substance, i'm glad to keep myself in trim, so assuredly little rather than gross is both apt and infinitely preferable

Talking about polls.
British people tend to blame David Cameron rather than the broadcasters for the breakdown in talks over the TV debates – but are divided over empty chairing the final debate
YouGov research has consistently shown a strong public appetite for TV debates in the run up to the general election in May. In our latest polling for the Sunday Times, 69% say debates should be held, and 57% say they are good for democracy. But this week a breakdown in talks between the broadcasters and David Cameron over the format of televised talks has jeopardised what many (39%) see as a useful way of helping them decide who to vote for.
David Cameron’s director of communications Craig Oliver had written to the broadcasters proposing his “final offer” of one 7 person debate in the week of March 23, after the broadcasters had settled on two 7 person programmes and one head to head between the Prime Minister and Ed Miliband. But on Friday the broadcasters defiantly chose to press on with holding three debates in April.

Torcuil Crichton:
Labour are caught in pincer movement between SNP & Tories ahead of General Election
9-03-15
TORCUIL argues that the Tories are using the threat of nationalism to cut the legs from under Labour in England.
WHY do the Conservatives this morning issue a poster showing a mini-Miliband popping out the pocket of Alex Salmond? Not because it's funny, but because they know it works.
Focus group work in the England tell Tory strategists that voters fear the idea of the SNP having influence on a Westminster government. That worry makes them less likely to vote Labour.
Labour is now caught in a classic pincer movement by the SNP and the Conservatives, as the polling arithmetic shows that Labour falling short of a majority without SNP votes.
Cameron cannot advance the Tory cause in Scotland but he can try cutting the legs from under Labour in England, where the two main parties are tied.
If he raises the fear of a Labour-SNP coalition it turns voters off Labour in these English marginals. That could just be the difference between the Tories being able to form a coalition or the end of Cameron's career.

Max,
Sell that to all outside the London Bubble.
I.E the North of England, Wales, West Midlands. Many of the areas outside London and South East sympathise with SNPs positioning and receptive to SNP/Labour Alliance in order to rid themselves of Cameron.

JB,
I am glad you know what I want and wonder a little where you would find the 50 million immigrants to come to this country from. Also, questions for accusing you or anybody else of being a holocaust admirer.
Again, is it a case of false projection?

215,
I wonder what Geogie Boy is going to sell off next to bolster or justify his budget figures in an attempt to buy the torrid party votes.
Check the poll figures again.
The tories can twist and turn but can't hide!

JB,
My point was Fred that we are swamped with immigrants more than defending any party ...
And you can see we are !!!! millions !!!!!
Reflect on your words chosen.
Perhaps, reflect on 1930s in Germany and the rhetoric of that period.
=-==-=
Many might think the words reflect your core values.
(Slight edit modification from original post "Many might think they are they reflect your core values".)

You know what you said Fred ,i have never argued with anyone on MAM ,couldn't be bothered but when someone posts the above ,well you have some weird ideas .

Again don't read into the post what isn't there.
Couple it with your following posts.

Britain's divided decade: the rich are 64% richer than before the recession, while the poor are 57% poorer
Levels of debt and reliance on overdrafts increasing among the poor
Nigel Morris
Deputy Political Editor
Tuesday 10 March 2015
The gap between richest and poorest has dramatically widened in the past decade as wealthy households paid off their debts and piled up savings following the financial crisis, a report warns today.
By contrast, the worst-off families are far less financially secure than before the recession triggered by the near- collapse of several major banks. They have an average of less than a week’s pay set aside and are more often in the red.
Younger workers have fallen behind older people while homeowners – particularly those who have paid off their mortgages – have become increasingly affluent compared with their neighbours who are paying rent.

Max,
If torrids were to be elected in May, expect the gap between the "established" and "lower" paid groups to increase rapidly if their proposed policies go ahead.
But then expect a severe backlash when they are thrown out!

Max,
Yes, read it, but he was the last elected tory leader, wasn't he!
That was the tear away period on the out of control bankers and fund managers (tory party bankers) and the crazy housing market (buy a house to-day and sell it for 10% more to-morrow.)
Bur go back a little and look the similarities between this period with the "construction an housing market" in the golden boy of the Tory party Ted Heath and the present period.
Same outdated economic policies to give a lift to the "market".
Also, the coalition has had 5 years to address the problem rather than stoke it with their policies. (Is there another boom burst on horizon with their present housing policies?)
