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.

It's a straight choice between Cameron or Sturgeon.

Send them to Herault and Gard , that's nice and safe

On Squawk Box this morning one of the guest speakers has placed a bet on a Tory/Labour coalition, saying their policies were closer than the alternatives.

Then I suggest "one" is put back on his medication!

It would seem to me that Cameron doesn't understand the Democratic process.

Seems to me, the nasty party is prepared to use Fascist techniques of the 30s are becoming more and more out of touch.

That would be an excellent coalition. Firstly, they could get together and decide what to do with the NHS.

eg. Chiefs receive a 6% pay rise, whilst front line staff face a freeze.

What? Pardon me? Under the Tories? WTF?

England frightened by a woman?

What are things coming to?

Cameron will have to cosy up and lick the ... of Nigel and his brown skirts and promise him a cabinet post. (Bar Man.)

It will be a relief to have a government for all once again.

I suppose they could privatise government.

OOPs forgot, they have already considered that!

Italy receives the migrants and then let's them go to roam Europe. They don't have facilities to keep them all in camps, so it is easier to move them on. Taking them back to where they came from is not an option.

Why not?

Maybe if there were Italian gunships in the med stopping them coming over , maybe they wouldn't drown in an over laden ship . Maybe IF the African authorities stopped them from sailing to their DEATHS . Or are they just glad to see the back of them. Dumped on Europe then its our problem our cost etc.

The places they are coming from are war zones. It wouldn't be possible to return them.

The numbers coming to Europe is very small in the scheme of things. The population of Europe is around 750 million and there are a few thousand refugees.

Surely that would be a waste of a good gunship? If you're gonna send a gunship to sea in the first instance, wouldn't it be far better just to kill them all? It's not as though the migrants are armed and can fight back, so it's a low-risk strategy.

Who's talking about killing them , I said if they don't get on the boats in the first place they won't drown will they. So why is the Pope so concerned if there are only a few thousand refugees.

Why does it matter what the Pope thinks or says. Why not take some notice of the head of a group that believes the Earth is flat or worships fairies. There is far too much notice taken of groups who try and contact extra terrestrial beings and think they are being watched over by them. Delusional groups should have no influence in public affairs.

Naggy .

Yes they are.

I didn't mention the Lib/dems , Haystack.

NEW compulsory ID cards for northerners will allow the government to track their movements.

A growing north-south divide has seen immigrants from as far afield as Rotherham and Burnley heading south in search of work, housing and free health care.

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said: “These people need to know that NHS does not stand for Northern Health Service.

“Northerners may still travel freely in the South, but must maintain their accents at all time and not offer anyone a ‘barm cake’.”

‘Up North’ to become a single constituency, vows Cameron

RADICAL boundary changes by the Conservative party will make it mathematically impossible for Labour to win an election, it has emerged.

Under David Cameron’s proposed new constituency boundaries, Up North – which includes traditional Labour strongholds Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle – will elect a single MP.

Meanwhile David Cameron’s home town of Chipping Norton would be split into 27 constituencies, three of them representing areas of Cameron’s house.

Cameron said: “The needs of my bathroom are very different to those of my kitchen or spare room, and I am delighted our electoral system will now recognise those differences.

“Northerners however all share the common life goals of having sex in car parks and acquiring fried meat in cardboard buckets, so there is less need for detailed administration in their foggy, marsh-like region.”

The Prime Minister has promised that the 2015 election will be a more spectacular affair, with polling stations moving from primary schools to more impressive locations such as golf clubs and opera houses.

He also plans to introduce a ‘two names two votes’ policy under which anyone with a double-barrelled surname may legally vote twice.

The logistics of the election would also change, with responsibility for the ballot passing to private firm Optimum Democracy.

An Optimum spokesman explained: “Voters can buy the Premium Ballot Paper, which will list all the candidates, or stick with the Free and Easy option, which will only show the party that won the previous election.”
