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.

Janet Daley answers her own question. The commission is a gravy train for failed politicians. Let's get out

I was surprised how Sensible Jeremy Corbyn views sounded

I admit to warming to him more and more.
Also, the need for a realistic evaluation of future policies.
For me, and I tend to believe he is sincere and that he may bring back a sense of decency, which has been missing in recent politics.

Talking about Corbyn talking to the IRA in an attempt to negotiate a "peace treaty" in the past, is Cameron negotiating with Assad for oil, agriculture or a holiday home after her retires?
Another well thought out policy!

David Cameron on Ashcroft claim: 'A very specific denial was made a week ago'
Lord Ashcroft's book did not pass judgement on whether the claim was true and speculated that it might have been a case of mistaken identity

John McDonnell looks set to use his first Labour conference speech as shadow chancellor to push for a "Robin Hood tax" on stock market trading.

Public opinion is swinging behind "Brexit", with more people in favour of leaving than remaining in the European Union. A YouGov poll for The Times today shows 40 per cent backing a pullout and only 38 per cent opting to stay in. The last time the "leave" campaign was in the front was in November last year. The "stay" campaign had a ten-point lead in June, but, after a summer dominated by the migrant crisis, public opinion appears to have shifted. - The Times

Re: Robin hood tax...why the hoo-ha? We are already paying it, it's called stamp duty.

Max,
Agreed!
Quite a reasonable form of taxation!

“Half an hour ago on the border between Italy and Austria I saw with my own eyes a great many immigrants …
With all solidarity with people in difficult circumstances I have to say that what I saw arouses horror … This huge mass of people – sorry, that I’ll write this – but these are absolute savages … Vulgar, throwing bottles, shouting loudly “We want to Germany!” – and is Germany a paradise now?
I saw how they surrounded a car of an elderly Italian woman, pulled her by her hair out of the car and wanted to drive away in the car. They tried to overturn the bus in I travelled myself with a group of others. They were throwing faeces at us, banging on the doors to force the driver to open them, spat at the windscreen … I ask for what purpose? How is this savagery to assimilate in Germany?
I felt for a moment like in a war … I really feel sorry for these people, but if they reached Poland – I do not think that they would get any understanding from us … We were waiting three hours at the border which ultimately could not cross.
Our whole group was transported back to Italy in a police-cordon. The bus is damaged, covered with faeces, scratched, with broken windows. And this is supposed to be an idea for demographics? These big powerful hordes of savages?
Among them there were virtually no women, no children—the vast majority were aggressive young men … Just yesterday, while reading about them on all the websites I subconsciously felt compassion, worried about their fate but today after what I saw I am just afraid and yet I am happy that they did not choose our country as their destination. We Poles are simply not ready to accept these people – neither culturally nor financially.
I do not know if anyone is ready. To the EU a pathology is marching which we had not yet a chance to ever see, and I am sorry if anyone gets offended by his entry …
I can add that cars arrived with humanitarian aid – mainly food and water and they were just overturning those cars …
Through megaphones the Austrians announced that there is permission for them to cross the border—they wanted to register them and let them go on—but they did not understand these messages. They did not understand anything.
And this was the greatest horror … For among those few thousand people nobody understood Italian or English, or German, or Russian, or Spanish … What mattered was fist law… They fought for permission to move on and they had this permission— but did not realize that they had it!
They opened the luggage hatches of a French bus—and everything that was inside was stolen within short time, some things left lying on the ground …
Never in my short life had I an opportunity to see such scenes and I feel that this is just the beginning.”
