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 is to see that our hardworking prime a minister is having a well earned holiday in the Algarve after keeping his promises on immigration and jobs for the boys.
Nobody government minister could be found for Channel 4news or BBC.
No wonder the tories want to privatise the BBC.

Also, I forgot he is reassuring the Portuguese and trying to get an ally for further
negotiations on the EU.
What a crew.
With ministers like the present one, government may be better without a cabinet!

Blair Warns His Party of 'Annihilation'
LONDON — Aug 13, 2015, 5:05 AM ET
Associated Press
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair says his party faces "annihilation" should Labour elect far-left lawmaker Jeremy Corbyn as its leader.
Writing in the Guardian on Thursday, Blair urged the party to reject Corbyn, who leads opinion polls and has alarmed centrists with calls to renationalize some industries and withdraw from NATO.
Blair says the contest is no longer just about choosing the next leader — it's about whether Labour will remain a viable party of government.
"If Jeremy Corbyn becomes leader it won't be a defeat like 1983 or 2015 at the next election," Blair wrote. "It will mean rout, possibly annihilation."
Acknowledging that he is a divisive figure, Blair says Labour supporters should reject Corbyn "whether you used to support me or hate me."

A record number of students have been accepted into university this year. The higher fees do not seem to have dissuaded people.

Hays,
The effects of University "fees" and "sustenance" changes will not be fully realised, or felt for 3-4 years.
A year before the next election?

The tories and their neo-facist media owners are sh-t scared of little Corbyn and
what he preaches.
Fascinating to watch while cameron sunbathes in the Algarve, running away from problems at home.

Corbyn does not have the support of the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party). A leader cannot survive without the support of their party's MPs.

The problem labour has is there is no credible competition for Corbyn.
The other three muppets would not win an election, they simply don't have it in them.

you may recollect that the greeks recently voted in a "mr huff-n-puff" and look what's happening or happened to him
having to accept reality does wonders, and while i concur that JC's competitors are total muppets, and therefore JC may well carry the day, i would be very surprised indeed if many others than the militant trades unionists will be cheering for long
i greatly doubt that even fred truly thinks that the general public will actually vote for the major tax rises and probably worse (like major inflation and/or devaluation) that JC would need to even start on his trumpeted programme of re-nationalisation and super-dooper giveaways such as free uni education
