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.

I don't feel victimised , I do feel for certain members of our society who are left to look after themselves , protect themselves from increasing threats . Whilst certain OK , foreign types can dump themselves and expect all the benefits our Nation has built up over the decades just because they can . Maybe that's too simply put for some . But I DON'T BLOODY HARP ON ABOUT DAY AFTER DAY .

Victim,

But you doing what you object to me doing.

To some it would suggest to some your are attempting to bully.

Also, you do appear to self centre and insular.

Perhaps, the cartoons are pricking your conscience.

Some of your contributions amuse me, but I have not objection to
you posting them even if I find them offensive.

Perhaps, you feel omniscient and only your opinions count!

What a load of utter crap .

Are you certain?

Is this an attempt at Brain washing eh . Coming from someone who supposedly supports Labour . The party who had Blair ( I'd shoot ) Brown ( I'd shoot ) and the last joker ( I'd probably want to shoot in the next few months if they'd won.) It ain't going to work on me Freddie boy .

Victim.

It seems to me that you believe in the values of the products of the Mail, Telegraph and the right winged Goebbels like propaganda sheets.

By the way, I am not an aficionado of any political party and many who know my views see me as a pragmatic moderate, with a dislike of political extremism.

But views vary from the position they view me from.

I don't need a newspaper to tell me what a fecking idiot looks like .

fred supports no party for he refuses to vote - as is his democratic right

however, apart from fred's occasional acolyte stan, i don't think he has any other supporters
it's not that some of the underlying points he wishes to raise do not have some merit, but fred is incapable of making an objective utterance, let alone anything half-way constructive, without destroying the whole argument by inserting a rather silly political snipe

as a result, i think few of fred's posts are read in their entirety - well certainly not by me - for they are truly monotonous and predictable

Anyway that's the third time I've dropped a stitch , can't you leave me to get on with me knitting for gawds sake . Winters coming .

I've never seen him on Speakers Corner cynic .

By the way, the con party had 36.9% of the votes in the G.E. i.e. 63% didn't vote for the Con party.


Party %
CON 36.9
LAB 30.4
UKIP 12.6
LD 7.9
SNP 4.7
GRN 3.8


By the way, did the Goebbels like propaganda tell the truth about immigrations?

After 5 years of tory coalition government:

Net migration to UK reaches 318,000

===-=-=-=-=

Mind, ignoring and alienating of the police, control "officers" and other public "servants" is sure to help.

Signs of an incompetent government.

.

Manuel,

Have you applied for a waiting job at a tea party conference.

With your views you would fit in nicely.

I see you're back into Autopilot , is there a little button you have to press , or is it computerised now Fred . Oops just dropped another stitch .

Why do people moan about Fred? I have filtered him quite a time ago and don't see his posts. Life is more pleasant here now except I now have to put up with people arguing over Fred

Is that the guy who knows everybody in "high" places and repeats the party mantras form TPHQ as prayers?

Jealousy will get him everywhere!

It's just banter .

Ukip sacks half its staff after sole MP turns down funding: Party faces fresh crisis following Douglas Carswell's refusal to take £650,000

Ukip expected millions of pounds of public money after general election
But sole MP Douglas Carswell had refused the £650,000-a-year funding
The party is now being forced to axe dozens of its staff due to cash crisis

Ukip was plunged into a fresh crisis last night as it faced axing half its staff because of a funding shortage.

The party had expected to cash in on the four million votes it got at the general election with millions of pounds of public money.

But after its sole MP Douglas Carswell refused the full £650,000-a-year parliamentary funding to which Ukip is entitled, saying the party should not ‘jump on the gravy train’, it is now being forced to cut back dramatically on staff.

One source said those on paid roles were told the party was effectively ‘shutting up shop’ as it laid them off, and it would look at the possibility of employing them again after the summer as it prepares for its annual conference.

After the election Ukip officials are understood to have drawn up plans to hire 15 members of staff at Westminster using the ‘short money’ paid to opposition parties by Commons authorities to help with their parliamentary work.

But Mr Carswell last week publicly denounced the proposal and said he only wanted to take around half of the entitlement, saying: ‘Ukip is supposed to be different and will be different.’

A source close to Mr Farage initially hit back and accused Mr Carswell of ‘absurd’ and ‘improper’ behaviour.

But in attempt to outflank Mr Carswell, the Ukip leader announced during an appearance on Question Time that he would be recommending the party took none of the money.

Ukip had also been expecting to get a share of the public funding allocated to parties by the Electoral Commission to help develop policies, but it is not entitled to this as it did not get two MPs.

Douglas Carswell = Trojan Horse

I've just learned that I have to go to Rotherham. Apparently it's oop norf.

Will I need:

a) my passport?
b) protective clothing?
