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.

And then came Thatcher followed by Major and loss of "power" for 13years. With tory party split similar to the one they have now over Europe.

No planning for Brexit, now ideas looking for the keys to exit, while at the same time hoping they can't find them.

Mind the investments through the Cayman Isles and Panama will be easier and scrutiny less.

A longer period of corrupt government and media manipulation.

Interesting to watch, but I wouldn't celebrate too soon.

What's Kinnock going to do now Freda, jobs for the boys stuffed in Euro Land, join Ed Balls on Come Dancing or have a go at The Great British Bake Off? Could always give Jezza a hand with his spuds on the allotment I suppose. :0)

Fred letting the side down again...

Fred , the Labour party they lost power to for 13 years were nothing like Corbyn and his loonie left.

Party has been hijacked by left wing idiots now and is unelectable.

Dil,

You are reading too many R/wing propaganda sheets.

Is Corbyn the main man then .

I thought Len was the main man.

So Freda has a leader who is not a supporter of the EU then , what's he do now .

corbyn and his hard left supporters may well be unelectable in the next GE, though stranger things have happened

however, at some point in the future the country will decide it wants a change of scenery ..... it is at that juncture that we had all better hope that the militant unions and their comrades, who currently have control of the labour party, will have been forced out ....... red robbo, derek hatton and others met their ends in due course and i dare say that will happen once more

it's ironic of course that hatton subsequently became a wealthy property developer! .... perhaps he just grew up and decided that our flawed capitalist system was a lot more palatable than something only just right of the north korean communist system

No, he swallowed his principles like egocentric con artists do. Like a lot of tory camp followers.

But I forgot many tories would dispute there are such things as principles.

The values which they may have are based on cash values only.

Shallow narrow-minded narcissistic thinking.

-=-==-=

But, Manuel, without looking it up, what are the Trotskyist principles that Corbyn is actually espousing?

Or are the tory PR agents smearing as per usual?

Why are some tory diehards demonstrating their fear of Corbyn's success?

What has he got, that the tory leadership doesn't have.

Is it honesty, decency, and sincerity?

He seems to have a lot of the public following who respect him, even if they question his leadership qualities.

-===-=

Ps.


He may have to be resurrected as it seems T. May's honeymoon is over and the diversion of attention on Corbyn is beginning to refocus on May's management and policy failings and party splits like the good old days of Thatcher, Major, Lawson, and Howe.

Even Boris doesn't know what her intentions are.

It would be laughable if it wasn't important.

It's sad to report but Fred has been brainwashed.

2517,

At least my brain is still functioning!

Even if it is distorted eh!

Anyone on here buying the brand new £5 notes at £200 each?

I have a few of the old ones left which you can have for a mere £10 each and which are definitely a lot more collectible as they will soon be pulled out of circulation. Just let me know how many you want. Payment is by bank cheque only, please.

Have not even see one yet. :-))

Put me down for a shedload EL, dont want to get left behind.

What happened to the war on cash?

Sweden leads the race to become cashless society

Swedes are blazing a trail in Europe, with banks, buses, street vendors and even churches expecting plastic or virtual payment

In greek we say.. afou o kolos sou to ethele..
As your ass wanted it..
So despite everything people want to be owned and controlled entirely by the banks.. It doesnt surprise me that Swedes embrace this. How they ever got a rep for bein liberal is beyond me.
Hand over yr asses, your assets and any tiny shred of democracy and privacy, drones...

I stayed at a hotel over the weekend in Bristol. The hotel had a pool. I had the chance to see a burkini up close as one of the residents was wearing one. Complete head to toe like a divers outfit. No one seem bothered. It was just a novelty.

Bit of a bu**er if said lady needs to go for a wee, eh?
