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.

In your dreams. lol

Dc my 6600 for Dec is spot on ,it's so good you'll think i cheated !!

So the ftse should carry on North, unless Russia upsets.

This is Fred ..

Your about 400 points out.

I think so DC i'm going to be long for a rally ..

lol

Santa may not bring a rally, with the world problems.

JB,

Looks more like you mother after she gave birth to you!

dream I will give the answer . round up all the known Islamic followers in the uk and put them on a plane to Syria either land them is isil land or assad to sort them out simple and affective and them bomb the scum

I was talking about the government cutting costs.

get rid of the lords that will save a lot then cut mps down to 200

Annual cost for the House of Lords 80 odd million . A drop in the ocean. You really need to research before ranting.

Could someone clarify who Wavy Dave is going to ally the UK with:

1) Russia who is having trouble with Turkey and some Kurds and the Free Syrians
2) Turkey, who have problems with Russia and Kurds.
3) Assad a friend of Russia who Cameron wanted to bomb a short while ago.
4) USA friend of French and UK but would prefer not to know.
5) Egypt, who nobody wants to be a friend with.

and so on..

Perhaps, we could help all of them by flogging them more weapons and logical support and background information and Cameron!

Make your decisions now!


PS. Forgot Saudi, Iran and Israel and the Palestinians, the bloody French and Italians and of course the Poles, Romanians and the Serbs and Croats.

And the blood thirsty Welsh!

Bloody Hell you have a day out, fifty odd posts to trawl through. What a fabulous budget for the Marxist shadow cabinet. Good on you George you got lucky to be able to deliver it, but hey practice makes perfect :0) See Fred and his bitch Stan (come back GF all is forgiven) having thrombis on here today. Big TANK never lets me down for laughs, up the workers! LOL!!!

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to his MPs saying he cannot back UK air strikes in Syria - prompting a warning of shadow cabinet resignations.

Mr Corbyn rejected David Cameron's claim that targeting so-called Islamic State would make Britain safer.

His intervention - which puts him at odds with a number of his MPs - was criticised by a shadow cabinet member.

The frontbencher said there would be resignations if Mr Corbyn ordered the shadow cabinet to back his stance.

"There will be resignations among senior members of the shadow cabinet over this," the shadow cabinet member told BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith.

He said Mr Corbyn's letter had led to a breakdown of trust within the shadow cabinet, which had not been consulted before it was sent.

A British serviceman would be "insulted" by Mr Corbyn's "ridiculous party games" he said, adding: "We are becoming a complete joke."

Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn had earlier told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg he found the case for strikes "compelling".

Haze,

You are a bad joke.

As I wrote before, all votes in the HP should be conscience votes, especially when putting other people's lives at risk.

(What you put your life on the line for is up to you, but I bet you won't be going to Syria in the next couple of weeks.)

I disagree with Corbyn on many policies, but at least consider him to be an honest and thoughtful man, who at the least has honourable principles, unlike some political opportunists I could name.

Playing the game and following the leader may be useful on the playing fields of Eton, but many would expect a person elected to the HP capable of thinking and voting on the basis of information and consideration.

If the government loses a vote, submit it to a vote of confidence.

-=-=-=-=-=-=

Stan,

Do me a favour, if you agree with the gist of what I have written, C+P it.

Thanks.

Come on Stanley, look alive get to it. LOL!

There is only one joker on this thread and Freddy boy you rarely dissapoint! :0) More More!!!

Labour leadership in turmoil over vote on UK military action in Syria

Jeremy Corbyn in minority as he plans to bypass his frontbench with appeal to parliamentary Labour party meeting on Monday

Jeremy Corbyn and shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn adopted sharply opposing views on UK military action against Islamic State hours after David Cameron argued it was time to extend bombing to Syria .

The Labour leader wrote to his MPs saying that the prime minister had failed earlier on Thursday to explain how an aerial campaign would protect UK security, setting up an intense debate in the party ahead of an expected Commons vote next week to broaden RAF airstrikes from Iraq to Syria. “I do not believe the prime minister’s current proposal for airstrikes in Syria will protect our security and therefore cannot support it,” Corbyn wrote.

That set Corbyn at odds with Benn, who had earlier told a meeting of the shadow cabinet that the arguments in favour of extending the airstrikes were “compelling”. The shadow foreign secretary, who believes that the prime minister has fulfilled the conditions laid down in a motion passed at the Labour conference on Syria, also contradicted Corbyn in public.

Benn told the BBC: “We have heard compelling arguments both because of the threat to the United Kingdom and also because we are right to have been taking the action that we have in Iraq to support the Iraqi government in trying to repel the invasion from Isil/Daesh.”

This weekend Corbyn will seek to win the approval of the shadow cabinet to oppose an extension of the airstrikes. He is drawing up plans to reach over the heads of his frontbench with an appeal to a parliamentary Labour party meeting on Monday night, after winning the support of just four members of his shadow cabinet at a meeting on Thursday afternoon.

The early skirmishes between supporters of the new leader and the once mainstream former ministers in the shadow cabinet came after the prime minister set out the case for an extension of the airstrikes. In a lengthy statement, Cameron said the UK was already facing the threat of mass casualties from Isis and argued that Britain could not outsource its security to allies.

The prime minister, who was formally responding to a report by the commons foreign affairs select committee, which had opposed the airstrikes, told MPs: “We have to hit these terrorists in their heartlands right now and we must not shirk our responsibility for security, or hand it to others. Throughout our history, the United Kingdom has stood up to defend our values and our way of life. We can, and we must, do so again.”

H/S what are the answers to the questions?
