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.

A fresh rift opened today at the top of Labour after Hilary Benn contradicted Jeremy Corbyn’s idea of holding talks with IS terrorists.

It means an alleged truce between the men engineered as part of Mr Corbyn’s first reshuffle barely lasted two weeks before their differences spilled into public.

Mr Benn’s flat rejection of talks with the terror group follows Mr Corbyn’s suggestion that IS has “strong points” and that a “back channel” should be opened to the group.

Shadow foreign secretary Mr Benn dismissed the idea of talks with IS at a think-tank event. He said: “I don’t think there’s much to negotiate with Daesh about, unless someone’s going to take a different view. There are times where groups like that have to be defeated.”

Mr Benn previously rallied Labour MPs to support RAF air strikes on IS in a speech to the Commons in December, angering Mr Corbyn who opposed military action in Syria. The dispute led to speculation Mr Benn would be sacked but he kept his job following reports of a reshuffle deal that he would not publicly oppose Mr Corbyn.

Mr Benn’s latest comments come after Mr Corbyn compared the group to the IRA and Taliban, adding that ministers had kept a “back channel” to both.

Dave's renegotiation is going really well...

Corbyn has said that he wants a Northern Ireland type of power sharing for the Falklands.

What a twat

Corbyn visited the camp in Dunkirk ,they were all cheering him , he was basically saying open the door ,let them in . What a complete Moron that man is .

Another obnoxious Right Wing Tory scum bag snuffs it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35403445

if it hadn't been for his affair, he would have been Prime Minister instead of Major. He was chairman of the Conservative party for two separate periods and a cabinet minister. Overall he did a good job and was very competent. Certain;y not someone that would appeal to the loony left.

The daughter that Parkinson fathered and wanted aborted, until her 18th birthday on the last day of 2001, she was forced to live in the shadows, a victim of a wide-ranging Parkinson gagging order which forbade anyone, including her mother, from talking about her.

Another lovely upstanding Tory member of society.. I don't think.

That is not that unusual. It is to keep people's lives private. The press has always made more of it that it warranted. Did her mother even want to talk about it? I would have thought under normal circumstances all parties would have wanted privacy. It is just a story that the press liked and tried to build up. It seems a pretty normal story that happens a lot. Had he not been a public figure, no one would care.

the british have always had a hypocritical and prurient interest in their politicians' and aristocracies' love lives .... how different are the french and most other european countries

it is not for nothing that the french have that wonderful phrase of "la cinq a sept"

It was noted that Parkinson had never met her and presumably had no intention of doing so. While he had financially assisted with Flora's education and upkeep, it was publicly pointed out that he had never sent her a birthday card and that her mother assumed that Flora could never expect to receive one.

..Caring "Con"servatism at it's best?
