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.

Tory Laurel and Hardy van mocks Salmond, Miliband

HAVE YOUR SAY
THE advertising van featuring Alex Salmond and Ed Miliband dressed as Laurel and Hardy has been dispatched by the Conservative Party.

The vehicle, which has the words “a fine mess” written across it, will visit the SNP conference in Glasgow.

Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said: “This ad-van makes clear the choice facing voters in Scotland this May.


“It is a choice between a chaotic mess under Ed Miliband being propped up by a power-hungry Alex Salmond, and a strong Conservative party looking after both the UK and the economy.

“Voting for either the SNP or Labour will achieve the same thing, and it will spell disaster not just for Scotland, but the whole UK.

“The SNP has made its feelings perfectly clear on sharing power with Labour, and Ed Miliband will need that if he’s to be prime minister.

“Anyone who passionately believes in the United Kingdom should vote for the Scottish Conservatives

Did Oliver Hardy not have a wee moustache? Or was that another historical figure?


I thought the SNP were using a van to do a promotion of Salmonds book until it got closer and I saw it was a michelin tyre van with the michelin man on the roof


England are waking up to the potential nightmare of Messers Miliband and Salmond trying to run the UK.

JC has been offered a job in...Russia....apparently it's a Tsar in an ordinary car....

I think London needs a dose of Salmond and Sturgeon, good to see them doing well!

======

But who would believe Dodgy Dave?

Not a bad lead:


Labour lead at 4

YouGov

Latest YouGov / Sunday Times results 28th March - Con 32%, Lab 36%, LD 8%, UKIP 13%, GRN 6%; APP -16

==-=-=-=-=-=

You can see why Cameron is chickening out of debates with Ed.

Cluck, cluck, cluck!

======

Bring out Berlusconi Boris and his handmaiden Theresa to lead them further into the wilderness.

Fred The Red ..... "I think London needs a dose of Salmond and Sturgeon, good to see them doing so well!"

Win Win for Scotland, for the rest of us A DOSE of either would be suicide!!! LOL!

Perhaps if ED had some policies then a debate may be worthwhile, no point trying to have a debate with an empty head.
2517

The problem with Ed debating with Calamity Cameron is that the latter has often done a U-bend or U-turn before the end of a sentence.

When he has been kicked out he should be able to make a living writing Fairy stories!

Well Charlie Broker is classified as a humourist.

Slight bias I thought.

He does write for the lefty rag; the Guardian.

my honest view was that EM was dreadful on the paxo show, but clearly others thought differently

IG still show tories with 12 more seats than labour
however, as i have always said, i'ld rather have a "proper" gov't of any hue than one which is intrinsically hamstrung and thus made incapable of putting through unpopular measures that are deemed necessary

should EM end up in Number 10, and of course that is far from certain, then SNP will continue to have a ball and pull the strings .... that can't be good for anyone

I thought Charlie gave a fairly accurate summary of the present torrid party and can see why the party appeal to the Hazyone.

Theresa's description the blue rinse brigade as the Nasty Party is how the general public think of it.

What are the saying a party HQ about the labour 4% lead in the polls?

=-=-=-=-=

Do I see a Boris creeping up on Dave!

Have you forgotten that Ed used some very vague rules to avoid paying property taxes?

A true socialist and man of the people eh Fred?

i don't know why fred cares, but it's patently not enough to make him want to get off his bum and vote

Perhaps, a coalition government would be able to present and pass more central and moderate policies aiding more cohesion as the consider the needs of majority of society which they are supposed to represent.

It is obvious that Scotland feel that they have been neglected by Labour, Lib/Dems and tories, whether it is true, or not, is difficult to judge.

The present torids are seen as representing themselves and their own at the expense of the most defenceless in society.

A greedy bunch who will probably get paid what they are worth.

=-=-=-=-=

Mind it is only one poll and only 4%!

Max,

Don't know the details, but the family were using the rules as they were/are.

But don't know, but guess some of those rules will be changed!

===

Cynic,

If it was necessary and I thought my vote had the potential to rid the UK of Cameron and henchmen I would rush to the poll station shouting Cynic, Cynic, Cynic, Manuel!!!!!!!

The YouGov poll for the Sunday Times, taken after Thursday’s Channel 4/Sky TV grilling for the two party leaders by Jeremy Paxman put Labour on 36%, and the Conservatives on 32%.


If replicated on 7 May, this share of the vote could give Labour a lead of more than 60 seats in the House of Commons.

If you have access, the bookies don't agree with the polls.

fred - as you know, it is my opinion that ALL votes are needed and that in a democracy one has an obligation, even in safe seats such as yours and indeed my own
