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.

H/S we all know you don't care about anyone or anything that doesent have some self interest for you, after all you are a "Con" sevative so that's not the question.

I/we just want some "information" about the following below



Out for lunch now, hope you come up with the goods in the meantime.

I have no interest in it. I am sure you can find out as much as I can, butt why bother.

Manuel,

"One irony— back in China, the Communist Party has banned all 88m of its members from joining golf clubs because they’re too elitist."


That statement is obviously untrue as I believe you are a member of such.

Mind, I suppose some clubs will accept any old riff-raff for a fee or backhander!

Hays.

Come on, you seem to me to like wallowing in the mud.

Mind that is probably on instructions from Dave or Lynton.

Think the two screaming lefties on here should worry about their own party, me thinks.
Chuka Umunna suggests Jeremy Corbyn and his 'nasty trolls' should be disqualified from office over their pacifist views
The former shadow cabinet member rips into Labour leader as biggest splits yet emerge in party over vote to bomb Syria.


Lock em up in the Tower TRAITORS!!!!!

By Laura Hughes, Political Correspondent8:44AM GMT 20 Nov 2015
Jeremy Corbyn's pacifist views should disqualify him from office because he cannot keep Britain safe, Chuka Umunna has said.
In a thinly veiled attack at his leader, Mr Umunna said: "If you cannot keep the people safe, in their eyes that is a disqualification from office."
Mr Umunna told the BBC's Today programme this morning that he will vote with his "conscience" on airstrikes in Syria regardless of Jeremy Corbyn and his "nasty troll" supporters.

In the first significant rallying call to fellow MPs to defy their leader and put principles ahead of party loyalties, Chuka Umunna has said it's "absolutely fundamental" MPs are given a free vote on extending airstrikes in Syria.

Mr Umunna said: "The first duty of any elected representative, not just ministers, is to do all we can to ensure the security of our constituents, particularly in the face of the terrorist threat we are facing.


The Labour leader has repeatedly refused to give his MPs a free vote on the decision for Britain to extend air strikes to Syria.
The Labour MP said: "There are people who are pacifists in my party. I don't share those views and neither do the majority of people in the country."
The former shadow cabinet member said he currently had an "open mind" on whether military action should be expanded.

He said: "I have no fixed view on this, I have an open mind, the problem is ultimately I have a point of view which I have by reference to my principles and my values and my desire to keep the people that I represent safe.
"I am sorry, but that will come before any internal party political issue. And I think I should be able to adopt that position without being attacked, without being subject to a nasty troll form of politics."
He said: "Each individual MP has a mandate from those who elected them, we are primarily representatives of our constituents," he said.

He added that if the "new politics" is to mean anything, people should be allowed to air their different views without out being insulted.
Asked if Mr Corbyn would allow his MPs a free vote, he said: "No, we would have to consider it as a party, consider it as a group and decide how we would react at that point, I can't predict at this stage."
Government sources say they expect to win the support of up to 30 Labour MPs for military intervention and will produce a "comprehensive strategy" to defeat Isil by the end of November.

oh fred; you really are hilarious; you clearly missed your vocation to be on stage for music hall revival

"I have no interest in it." We already know that.

Come on now information please.. after all it will soon be the season of good will apparently.

Have to go out again and will be back about 5 'ish, so don't disappoint us now.

I have no information or wish for any. There types of things go on in all parties and are of no consequence.

Somebody is very touchy, to-day.

Have you lost your toys?

Ask, mum to give you a cuddle.

The Labour Party has just had its worst week ever. Worst week ever, that is, since last week. And worst week ever, probably, until next week.

Interesting article on Corbyn ...

Good Idea John ,just the time to scrap armed police and intelligence ...

SHADOW CHANCELLOR IN CALL TO DISBAND SECRET SERVICE AND DISARM POLICE
A Labour MP says the party is 'half an inch away from meltdown'

Labour’s Shadow Chancellor called for British intelligence service MI5 to be “disbanded” and the police to be “disarmed” earlier this year, The Sun can reveal.

In April John McDonnell signed a pre-election letter of hard-left demands that included a call to “disband MI5 and special police squads, disarm the police.”

Our revelation comes as Jeremy Corbyn challenged the Prime Minister about cuts to the police in the Commons, saying: “Policing plays a vital role in community cohesion, gathering intelligence on those who might be about to be a risk to all of us, but that is surely undermined if we cut the number of police officers by 5,000.”

The PM hit back: “Has it not come to something when the Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition is not sure what the police’s reaction should be when they are confronted by a Kalashnikov-waving terrorist?”

mali hotel hostages freed
that little drama didn't last long
as far as i can determine, no hostages were killed in the storming - fred would still be making the tea and cucumber sandwiches to hand out to the jihadis! - as have only seen a report that 3 people were killed and 2 of the storm-troops
therefore assume the "3 killed" must have been jihadis

18 hostages killed

It says 18 bodies recovered , one a Belgian official , now up to 27 bodies as I write .

thanks for that ..... updates will follow thick and fast

Terrorists still holed up.
