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 pogroms start, and the labour party makes itself even more unelectable.



John McDonnell won't intervene if Hilary Benn faces deselection fight


Shadow chancellor says Labour leadership ‘won’t interfere in local democracy’ if Benn faces deselection battle in Leeds Central

John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, has refused to intervene to ensure Hilary Benn remains a Labour MP amid reports that he is facing a possible deselection battle with activists in his local party.


Some of Jeremy Corbyn’s close allies remain angry with the former shadow foreign secretary since he argued against the Labour leader and in favour of airstrikes against Islamic State in Syria from the opposition frontbench.

Benn was then sacked from his role as shadow foreign secretary amid claims that he was encouraging colleagues to resign as part of an attempt to replace Corbyn as leader.


The Sunday Times claims that Corbyn supporters have taken over positions in Benn’s Leeds Central constituency party and he is facing the threat of deselection in the seat.

Asked whether he would discourage a challenge against Benn, McDonnell said the leadership would not interfere in local party affairs.


“Labour leadership doesn’t involve itself in local selections to the local party. That’s democracy,” the shadow chancellor told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Pienaar’s Politics.

Eurosceptics welcome Tony Blair's political comeback and Brexit intervention

Tony Blair’s plan to make a comeback to political life by spearheading an anti-Brexit group was last night welcomed by eurosceptics who said it would increase public support for leaving the EU.

Tory MPs welcomed Mr Blair's decision to set up a new political institute that will seek to influence Britain's withdrawal and said that the level of public anger still directed at the former Labour leader will simply embolden the Brexit movement.

Last month Mr Blair told Remain voters "we're the insurgents now" and said Britain should keep its "options open" over holding a second referendum.



Owen Paterson, the former Environment Secretary, told the Telegraph: "This is glorious news, he is one of those discredited establishment figures who repels many people. For this he must win the international prize for lack of self awareness this year."

The trouble is some people will cling to anything .

Might as well cling to the slippery pole. Blair's day is done. Like Sarkozy, there is no come back.

he is a war criminal and should be hung .
a filthy liar of a sub human .

At least he knew how to get elected.

yes he was a liar , and lied is way in to power a low life scum bag .
a murderer of women and children while they were in bed .

Take it you were a big fan of that loveable character Saddam Hussein then Rosie. Are you an ISIS fan too ?

do not post crap . but alas sadam did keep them under control and most had a good life now very few have a life at all.
same with gadafi , now the world is one big war .

about leaders Russia and iran a Saudi will never allow their countries to be taken over
france nigh on a muslim state and the uk not far behind , we have no leaders with guts

I would also say that 97% of our MPS are only in the job for their own ends not the country

so you think MPs should be totally altruistic?
that might be an ideal, but totally unrealistic, and certainly being a good MP is damn hard work and not for the fainthearted

libs are destroying the world prisons out of control .
nanny states course crime .
we need to take back our country with strong laws and bring back prisons that serve and fight crime not make it worse , lock them up for 20 hours a day and feed them porridge and dry bread . most days no tvs no papers just the bible and rules of the uk

cynic if they do not want to be a good mp for the country then do not put up .

no one puts their name forward for selection to be a BAD mp, but you can't expect an mp not have "outside interests" and business connections, for the lifespan of being an mp can be pretty parlous

cynic , that as nothing to do with a good mp . to be a good mp the country should be your main aim . if your own business comes first then do not put up .
take the ceo of JOH LEWIS he as given up is great job , to do another job he said you must put all your efforts into the job you do . he is honest and a very good man

I'm sure laurenrose is a liberal plant, who's main job is to post on BB's
spouting absolute intelligible rubbish in an attempt at justify the socialist
multicultural liberal lefties existence...

Otherwise he's just an illiterate waste of space...

the only good lib is a dead one ,

however, a good ad lib can be very entertaining
