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.

MrT - as you seemingly dictate to your family how they should vote, and no doubt on all other matters too, does that mean that they will be commanded NOT to vote in the eu referendum? ....... if so, what on earth was the point of you ranting on about the wonders of ukip?

cynic answer they take my decisions and honour them .
the only way I will vote again is to get out of the stinking rotten eu

cynic does your family not honour your views ,

if i was part of your family, i'ld tell you to stick your diktats up your arse
part of education is learning to think for yourself and assuredly not to succumb to parental bullying

============

my family may or may not listen to my views or those of my wife and may or may not agree with them and will then act as they feel .... after all, they are all adults and, not that it is particularly relevant, making their own ways in the world

Max , re Top Gear that's good news i hope they do go to ITV and the BBC regret what they did when their new show gets a tiny per cent of the viewing .

Doug Carswell must be feeling out on a limb now.

Yes jimmy, it's one up the bum of those po faced beeb types :-)

cynic my family are not interested in politics and would never read about it .
so they trust my judgement .
and not one in my family have ever claimed benefits .
all doing very well one owns with her husband a company with turn over of millions
and spend all their time doing triathlons

It is doom for Labour. There will be changes that may stop Labour for a generation or more.

It will soon be English votes for English laws.

Next there will be the constituency boundary changes that the Libs blocked. That will cause Labour the biggest net loss of seats.

This election has wiped the smile off the cocky SNP leader (can't bring myself to say her name)

It has also wiped the smile off the union bosses who attempted to installed their pet PM.

all good labour voters should boycott all Scottish products .
but to thick to see the wood for the trees
the snp destroyed the labour party not its leaders

Nicola scumbag the devil woman the evil . cost the lab millions of votes

they won the tory party the election fact , fact fact

spend all their time doing triathlons .....
so spend plenty of time looking after their business then


my family are not interested in politics and would never read about it ......
well shame on them and i'm amazed you haven't persuaded them that politics isn't just something hazy in the background, but actually affects their lives and that of others

Can't wait to see Cammie and his buddy Nicola standing hand in hand telling us to vote yes to the EU.

My prediction was spot on for UKIP; just seat!

Only the racist bigots in Clacton voted for UKIP.

Why did GF get banned ?

I thought he was on holiday.

because he can be a total tosser and conducted a very stupid vendetta against doodlebug (mainly), in which process he was egged on .... they were subsequently both banned

GF really was a fool to himself and wouldn't listen to advice, but horses to water etc

=======

for myself, i still stay in touch with him on advfn, where there's a sensible but rather too quiet political thread that he instigated

hay people like myself voted con not ukip to keep out the snp
do not talk shite. you simpleton

didn't do too well then did you!

Election results:

Conservatives
325 seats
needs one more for that 326 important point
After 641 of 650 seats

cynic. Scotland we should now call their bluff and give them another vote as soon as pos. and hope they vote to leave
