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.

The Tories will outlive UKIP. Political Party vs protest group (rabble).

I have always voted Tory but even i have had enough of them ,where do we go from here ,Labour are a non starter ,i just hope that May surprises us and brings in the right people who wanted to leave the EU .

There may be a route to a second referendum. If a possible deal with the EU contains some elements of free movement, a referendum on that deal may be put to the country. The is a good chance that it would go some way to reverse the current decision. It would not reverse the leave EU position, but might be somewhat less than Leave campaigners wanted.

UKIP could gain some voters, but there is a large majority of people who could never bring themselves to Vote for them under any circumstances.

You will have a massive rise in UKIP votes if the electorate gets tucked up and the invasion of unskilled workers continues ,they will steal many Labour votes in the North and down the East coast.

jimmy or do i mean hays - your argument is about as valid as complaining that millions of people did not vote for whichever party wins a GE
i hope and think at this juncture that TM will prove to be a strong leader and negotiator (with her team) ...... it should not be forgotten that the eu plutocracy has many concerns of its own about the potential domino effect
for sure uk will not get all it wants, but that is the nature of all negotiation and compromise ..... the ideal is where both parties are unhappy with the result

Everyone keeps dancing round the elephant in the €U room.
Namely, it's banks.
Starting with the big daddy DB, and working it's way down the list, it all seems to be heading for a spectacular bust...unless there is a bail-out, which is forbidden (lol) by €U rules.
They changed the rules on bail-ins awhile back, and now the depositors are firmly on the hook (little Greece) for fleecing.
tick tock, it's coming.

The relatively unknown investment fund where Theresa May’s husband Philip works as a senior executive is one of the world’s largest and most powerful financial institutions, controlling $1.4 trillion (£10.5 trillion) in assets.
Its portfolio also includes $20bn of shares in Amazon and Starbucks, both of which were cited by the Prime Minister-designate in her pledge to crack down on tax avoidance yesterday.
Latest filings to US authorities show that Los Angeles based Capital Group owns huge stakes in a variety of companies, including investment bank JP Morgan Chase, defence giant Lockheed Martin, tobacco company Philip Morris International, the pharmaceutical sector’s Merck & Co, and also Ryanair.

For that matter, a large majority of people don't vote for the tories either. UKIP lacks characters but it does not lack appeal, particularly with Labour going down the pan.

I find that UKIP lacks any appeal at all, but then people like all kinds of slop.

Sky Sources: #Labour's ruling NEC has suspended all meetings of local Constituency Labour Parties for the duration of the leadership contest
This may be as a result of police being called to a Manchester Constituency meting over voting irregularities and bullying and violence.
Labour result 24 September

I'm always pleased, and it warms the cockles of my heart when I see the
sanctimonious patronizing deceiving establishment 'elite', which haystack
yearns to belong, attempting to demonize, belittle, and denigrate a political
opponent like Nigel Farage, who is ten times the man cameron is and ever
will be...
It shows how much under the skin and the effect it has had on their cosy smoke
filled, subsidised bars, that has them spluttering in their whiskey's..
As to camerons bum buddy osborne, and May giving him the Foreign office..
I be VERY surprised if that wassack got anything higher then Local Communities
secretary..

Osborne may well choose the back benches himself. Overall, I have been very pleased with Cameron/Osborne.
As for Farage, I just see him as a racist rabble rouser. He has attempted to hide his colours in recent days, but he remains a very unpleasant person.

PMQs on BBC 1 today at 12:00. It should be good. No doubt Skinner will think of something unpleasant to say. The SNP leader and Corbyn will be in competition to see who can be the most graceless as Cameron leaves. I am sure he will be looking forward to a comfortable retirement.

Well being in a democracy, you are free to have that opinion, whether its
worth a jot coming from an establishment stooge who lives in a bubble somewhere
in the home counties is another matter.
But when you have someone like Nigel Farage 'stating the bleeding obvious' and
being villified for stating the truth, which others would like to sweep under the
carpet and to pacify the multicultural liberal bleeding hearts lefties..
