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.

Did we believe it was only VW who fiddled car performance figures? Do we believe it is only the Conservatives who fiddle election expenses?

Cheers,

I might believe anything against the Cons and Haze.

The Libs and Labour have done exactly the same thing over national vs local expenses with battle buses etc. It is a lot of fuss about nothing.

thoroughly agree
opposition parties and apparatchik always jump up and down - cheers up a dull day i guess - but it really always is a load of huff and puff

Its more then "Its a lot of fuss about nothing"

If they are found to have fiddled the expenses then someones got to be jailed,
And there could be a number of By-elections..

Its a serious offence and should be dealt with as such, otherwise it
will just carry on and will be the death knell for the voting system in
this country..

Manuel and Hazyone,

Evidence, please.

If you got any information on any of the parties, print it.

Are your financial dealings and expenses similar?

It seems that if one can get away with such, it is OK for "some".

But I forgot they are privileged or something like that.

As I have posted many times, the UK is becoming a "banana republic" run from the Cayman Isles and Panama since Cameron and cronies have been in "power".

-=-===-=-=

What an exhibition for one oldest democracies.

It will be put down to mistakes. The sums per constituency are tiny. If you take Conservatives to court then you will have to do the same with Labour and Libs. They have just done what all parties have done in the past. It is trivia and only of interest to the Westminster bubble and some portions of the media.

Freda is having a great day, problem is when he get's excited he tends to spout even more shite than the norm and that is seriously saying something. Go Jezza! eh Fred. Come on, wake up and smell the roses. Mickey Mouse is dead and would still make a better Prime Minister.

In Eva Carneiro's constructive dismissal case against Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, her legal team has said Mourinho called her a “filha da puta” (daughter of a whore) when she ran on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard against Swansea City on the opening day of the season “because she was the only female pitch side”.
The common Portuguese term is "filho da puta" which translates literally as son of a whore, but in fact is closer to the English "sonofabitch".
As we all know "sonofabitch" can be used in many ways, personal or non personal, such as an exclamation of something unexpected or surprising. When used personally, don't be surprised if you get a Glasgow kiss in reply.
In any case, if I said "filho da puta" in front of my wife she would tell me to go wash my mouth out. I believe Mourinho's wife would say the same, so using it in front of a woman doctor was sufficient for an employer, in this case Chelsea, to give Mourinho a formal warning and insist that he apologise to Carneiro.
If, as her legal team claim, he said "filha da puta" (they say there is audio to prove it) it raises the stakes considerably since it is focused at the doctor and deeply personal and in any normal public company would be sufficient for summary dismissal.
Either way, it shows Mourinho up as a foul mouthed bully and psychologically weak. Little wonder he lost the Chelsea dressing room.

And with that Man Utd go clamouring for him , and after the last two managers , you'd think they would avoid Mourinho like the plague .We'll see i suppose .

Mourinho is a spoilt arrogant brat, where public adoration has gone to his head..

The media also because his antics sells newspapers..

Any similarities?

Why your names not Jose is it ?

And you probably wonder why people are the way they are to you Freda , a normal chit chat over a piece in the paper and you turn it into an opportunity for sly remarks . Very childish .

While we are discussing campaign expenses:-

I await the evidence.

See , you can be nice .

The Conservatives have referred Labour and the Libs to the Electoral commission for investigation over election expenses.

Now this does get to be a tadge complicated......

In consequence to this letter:

No By-Elections are going to be required to correct Election malfeasance errors.

Seats stand as they were voted for in the General Election.

Importantly, the Conservative majority in the House 'stands as is' and isn't threatened.

And Labour can't now complain about Conservative Electoral Expenses malfeasance. They can only sorta kinda 'comment' on it.

So Mourinho and Chelsea bowed to the inevitable and settled. Well done Eva.
