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.

Mind she still has an eye on you and Manuel.




I wonder if she is still in a Tax haven like Austria doing deals for her son?

What a beauty !!!! she would have the EU all sorted out ,they wouldn't mess with Maggie .

Nobody with any sense would want to touch her.

Labour seen as more divided, extreme and out of date under Corbyn, poll suggests

The negative findings include:

1 - A striking increase in the number of voters seeing the party as divided (75%, up 32 points since April), extreme (36%, up 22) and out of date (55%, up 19).

2 - Corbyn having worse ratings than Ed Miliband in April on being a capable leader, being good in a crisis, having sound judgment, understanding the problems facing Britain and being out of touch with ordinary people. On all these measures except for being out of touch, David Cameron also beats Corbyn. But although Corbyn’s ratings are lower than Miliband’s on these five measures, the differences are small.

3 - Corbyn has a net satisfaction rating of -3. According to Mike Smithson, this is worse than for any Labour leader from the time of Michael Foot in their first Ipsos MORI poll.

Well, lots might say, that Corbyn is so crap at present, that the only way to go is 'Up'.

When he next appears on TV at PMQT, look out for the tidiness of his neckwear.

IMHO, if there is improvement, then it will indicate he is beginning to develop a conciousness about his image - and further, doing something about bettering it.

not quite .... the stylists will have got him by the scruff

Exec.

I remember in market-places David Cameron look-alikes selling pre-wrapped Xmas presents.

When the punters took them home they were as empty as Wavy Davy.

Many a dress up spiv and business man are flashy on the outside and rotten at their core.

-=-=-=-=

I must admit watching your Dave's talking about EU and Immigrants makes me and others cringe.

At least Corbyn looks and appears honest.

I hope he isn't corrupted by his opposition.

fred - i don't think JC is any more corrupt than you, but i think he lives in a similar cloud-cuckoo land

A vegan as shadow farming minister? What a plonker LOL!!!

merely an oxymoron

Don't forget, Corbyn is a vegetarian.

Jeremy Corbyn knocks back frontbencher's suggestion to launch campaign against eating meat
Labour leader says people should be allowed to eat meat after MP's suggestion for anti-smoking style campaign against it triggers backlash

By Ben Riley-Smith, Political Correspondent5:14PM BST 24 Sep 2015
Labour’s shadow cabinet has split over whether people should eat meat after Jeremy Corbyn knocked back comments made by his new shadow environment secretary.
Mr Corbyn said people should “carry on eating meat” if they wished after Kerry McCarthy proposed an anti-smoking style campaign to decrease meat consumption.
Ms McCarthy’s comments, which were made before she took up the role, had triggered a backlash from politicians and the farming community.
Owen Patterson, the former environment secretary, told The Telegraph the idea of campaigning to stop people eating meat was “completely ludicrous” and would undermine the countryside.


Meanwhile National Farmers' Union (NFU) said it wanted to meet Ms McCarthy at the “earliest opportunity” to understand Labour’s stance towards the community.
It comes after comments Ms McCarthy made to the Viva! life, a magazine for vegans, earlier this year resurfaced in the media.
“I really believe that meat should be treated in exactly the same way as tobacco, with public campaigns to stop people eating it,” said Ms McCarthy, a staunch vegan.
"Progress on animal welfare is being made at EU level ... but in the end it comes down to not eating meat or dairy.


"The constant challenging of the environmental impact of livestock farming is making me more and more militant."
Asked about the comments by ITV News, Mr Corbyn contradicted the suggestion by encouraging meat-eaters not to change their habits.
“I am a vegetarian. I personally don't eat meat and haven't for a very very long time,” Mr Corbyn said.
He added: “I think meat eaters, if they wish to carry on eating meat, that's up to them to do so. I don't stop people eating meat indeed many people that I know very well eat meat often in front of me and I tolerate it with the normal decency, courtesy and respect that you would expect from me.”

It is the latest shadow cabinet split after contradicting positions on scrapping Trident nuclear weapons, leaving Nato and bombing Isil in Syria emerged in recent days.
Mr Corbyn and his aides have played down the significance of differing views among senior Labour MPs, saying he backs a new democratic style of policy making.
Ms McCarthy’s comments were criticised by Mr Patterson, who was Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs between September 2012 and July 2014.
“Equating meat, which brings protein, pleasure and prosperity to consumers to tobacco, which does lead to health problems, is completely ludicrous,” Mr Patterson told The Telegraph.
“It just shows the Labour Party is completely and totally out of touch with the countryside.”

FFS! did she REALLY say that?????
i was going to comment earlier that my daughter is a vegetarian, but assuredly she has no problem with others eating what they want while around her
for that matter, most muslims will not object in the slightest if you drink wine while in their company even if they will not

Corbyn is busy collecting nutters as others would collect stamps.

What is she, besides a nutter?

Very little bio, no mention of family etc.

Jeremy Corbyn still might snub the Queen
However, asked by ITV News if he had decided to kneel before the Queen, Mr Corbyn, said he had not yet made up his mind.

By Christopher Hope, Chief Political Correspondent5:30PM BST 24 Sep 2015 Comments4 Comments

Jeremy Corbyn is still considering snubbing the Queen when he is sworn in as one of her official advisers.
The Labour leader is expected to be sworn in as a member of the Privy Council early next month when the Queen returns for her annual break in Scotland.
As part of the ritual he will be expected to kneel on a low stool in front of the Monarch and brush her bare hand with his lips.

However, asked by ITV News if he had decided to kneel before the Queen, Mr Corbyn said he had not yet made up his mind.
He said: “Haven't been invited yet. I haven't made up my mind. I haven’t made up my mind… It's an honest answer.”
There was an outcry last week when it emerged that Mr Corbyn might refuse to kneel for the Queen at the ceremony.
Last week, serving Privy Counsellors said that Mr Corbyn will “embarrass” the Queen if he fails to kneel when he is sworn in.
Owen Paterson, a former Tory Cabinet minister who has been a member since 2010, said that Mr Corbyn had “to grow up” and accept that he would have to kneel in front of the Monarch.
He said: “He is being completely beyond childish – you grew out of this sort of nonsense in your first year at university.
“The whole thing is just ridiculous – he should grow up or go back to the back benches and play around like some sort of bearded activist.”

i don't think that even fred in his most petulant of moods would support this act of total childishness, allegedly and rationalised as being a point of principle .... JC is rapidly becoming a total laughing stock, if he wasn't already

only a little while ago, i thought JC to be interesting and charismatic even if i didn't like his policies, but i am now quickly losing all respect for him

Fred is Welsh cynic, don't hold your breath LOL!!
