Anybody any idea who's going to form the next government ?...

Labour have just lost it, none of them have a clue of how to manage this country. Their idea is to have a 5% so-called ultra rich elite.....paying bugger all in taxes.....millions of muppets that will vote for them as long as they get a couple of hundred pounds given to them...single mums and all that lot....and everbody else : the middle class (what's left of it) taxed up to the eyebrows !.

Talking of immigrants :.....Edgeware road ( North London) is starting to look like a middle east slum now....crazy !....with those turkish smoking things on stands all over the place....

(Sorry to sound a bit over the top), but that's how I feel ....

Tories to win by40 seats.

A year ago, I was convinced that it would be a Tory landslide....it's that guy with the east end gangster name again that's taking away votes...grrrr....

The one eyed Scottish twit no doubt. Can you imagine that pussy Clegg trying to get his point over at any International meeting. Cameron talks a good game but is a typical public schoolboy, and we know what they get up to.

I would vote labour if they made Mandy Prime Minister, gay he maybe but he takes no shit.

labour thought they could generate more votes by letting millions of immigrants into England but they have made the classic mistake of ignoring the adverse effect this has had on their core voters. The conservatives have made the same mistake in the past by cosying up too much to minority groups and losing some of their traditional support to opposition parties.

If you wish to bet on an overall majority, the latest odds are 7/4 Conservatives at
bet365 and 20/1 Labour at Paddy Power with a hung parliament now just 1/2 with
Skybet .

odds for most seats
cons 1/6
lab 5/1
lib 16/1

PaddyPower have Tories winning by at least 50 seats.

Ahead of tonight's BBC leaders debate in Birmingham, the Conservatives are back in the hunt, according to both the ComRes polling and Betfair betting markets.

and as for all those damn jews cluttering up st john's wood and golders green and hampstead!!!!
why can't they be shipped to palestine where they belong?

cynic are you trying to play the race card as a last desperate move to support brown!

Gordon Brown's last chance tonight and although I consider him an unctuous, pompous and arrogant man, whose true character was revealed yesterday, I do think he did the right thing when the banking crisis came to a head - the taxpayer may do very well out of its stakes in RBS and Lloyds in time, although I hope not before Brown and Co are shown the door.

absolutely!
anyway, bradford and several other fine cities would become but ghost towns without their immigrant populations

partridge, meanwhile thousands of businesses and individuals are going bankrupt because of the banks' unwillingness to lend, or calling in their loans. True the taxpayer may well benefit over a period of time, (provided GB's spending wasters don't get their hands on the money). I have no idea what the right call was, whether letting a bank fail (HBOS) or the action they took, time I suppose will tell if their actions eventually pay off for the taxpayer.

cynic are you related to chemical ali?
2517

he's my first cousin and brother of toxic tania

2517 - I think if HBOS and/or RBS had been allowed to fail there would have been queues outside every bank and complete financial chaos, maybe even a return to barter. For too long the banks lent money too freely and borrowers were greedy - the pendulum was bound to swing the other way eventually. Fault imo on behalf of both lenders and borrowers acting irresponsibly, with regulators lamentable in their supervision. We are already seeing the return to significant profitability within the banking sector, most certainly helped by forcing unrealistic margin increases on borrowers who now have no alternatives, but no doubt all political parties see windfall return for the Treasury as a result - justifiably imo.
