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.

Jeremy Corbyn handed over £45 to a fraudster who claimed he was an IRA bomber on the run, it has been reported.

Conman Sean O'Regan allegedly approached the politician in Parliament in 1987 - at the height of the Northern Ireland Troubles - claiming he had planted bombs in London and needed to flee.

The Islington North MP is said to have given the trickster cash, believing he was helping his escape. However, at the time, Mr Corbyn reportedly said it was a member of his staff who had handed over the money.

But when news of the fraud broke, four Conservative MPs submitted an Early Daily Motion in the House of Commons that referred to the ensuing conviction.

It said: 'In evidence given at the Central Criminal Court on Friday 30th January, it was stated that the honourable Member for Islington North gave £45 to a confidence trickster posing as an Irish Republican Army Bomber'. It added his actions posed a 'grave threat to national security'.

Tomorrow's Observer

Jeremy Corbyn has done little to boost Labour’s popularity and faces an uphill struggle to convince voters that he would be a better prime minister than David Cameron, according to a new Opinium/Observer poll.

The survey taken during Corbyn’s first week as Labour leader found almost twice as many voters choosing Cameron (41%) over Corbyn (22%) as the best occupant of No 10.

While 89% of Tory voters said Cameron would be the best PM, only 58% of Labour backers said they thought Corbyn would do the job best, suggesting serious doubts within Labour ranks about their newly elected leader.

When asked a separate question – if they could imagine Corbyn as prime minister – 32% of likely voters said they could. However, 57% said they could not, including nearly a quarter (23%) of Labour voters.

and the alternative a failed con man working for his own charity!

The papers are digging up the dirt on Corbyn big time. One paper has found that one of his ancestors ran a work house.

Hays.

You should have a good chance of scavenging a meal then.

Pop along to party central office.

Former business secretary Vince Cable has branded Jeremy Corbyn an “ageing lion” being hunted by the Tories.

The Liberal Democrat, who lost his seat in May, said Labour’s new leader was “completely unelectable” and the Conservatives “will slaughter them”.

He told a fringe meeting at the Lib Dem conference in Bournemouth: “Of course the Tories are just waiting with their big bore guns and there’s this ageing lion and they’re just waiting to open fire.”

The analogy sparked memories among the audience of Cecil, a 13-year-old male lion who was killed in Zimbabwe by American dentist Walter Palmer in July.

Cable said Corbyn and his shadow chancellor John McDonnell were “perfectly agreeable as individuals”. But he added: “They are not electable – they’re just not.

“You just look at their core economic ideas, all the things they said in the past and now they’re trying to disown – the Tories will slaughter them. The Tories are absolutely ruthless, as we know to our cost, and they will slaughter them.”

David Cameron not going to feel good this morning.

Cameron expected to release statement. "I did not have sexual relations with that pig"

Hopefully Rebekah Brooks on the phone now, expect the spin on this to suppress all other news for the whole week. Should divert attention from the refugee crisis.

David Cameron Allegedly Stuck His Naughty Bits In A Dead Pig's Mouth And Twitter Can't Handle It

"
The Daily Mail's front page this Monday will come as a shock to many, where it is alleged the prime minister once "put a private part of his anatomy in a dead pig's mouth" as part of a university initiation.

The claims are contained within a book written by billionaire Tory donor Lord Ashcroft to be published next month but serialised by the Daily Mail this week.

Other revelations include allegations of drug-taking and bitter feuds during the PM's days at Oxford University.

Needless to say, everyone is going into meltdown over what is being dubbed "PigGate"."
