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 fuss over the dinner at number 10 seems to be part of a strategy by some in the EU to interfere with our GE. They would be happier to be dealing with a weak Corbyn. Expect more supposed leaks showing May as Delusional. The EU is trying to stoke pressure for a second referendum. The last thing the EU wants is large majority for May.

The EU is experiencing the five stages of bereavement; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Not sure how far they have got.

I see Hays has gone back to Party HQ.

Told to preach the mantras.

Lol come on Fred it is funny.

Dead right Hays the EU is getting dirty .

It's still in denial at the moment which will move to anger sometime after June 8th when the country gives May massive backing for her Brexit negotiations and the EU realise there is no turning back and she tells them where to shove their leaving bill.

as i am sure will be pointed out by others, the tories are indeed likely to get a majority of >30 seats, and perhaps many more, but if so, much will be due to disillusionment or distaste of corbyn and the hard left unions and similar

there's certainly a great many other issues (health, education, police etc) than brexit that need urgent attention
however, i think brexit must take precedence, as the outcome of those negotiations will have a direct and significant impact on how the rest of the economy can be managed

assuredly some difficult times (years) ahead

CYNIC I AGREE WITH 855 OF YOUR POST

but the uk will be fine the uk has already got 8 trading deals done . and still in talks with the usa . which will be great news

time will tell :-)
there's certainly going to be serious fun and games to be played out over the next 18/24 months

Sorry Maxk you've lost me with that .

d abbott voted in from like to like voters regardless, of ability job for life. no qualafications needed, I'm wishing i had done the same what an easy life. BB

Well there's only one side in the Brexit argument wanting constructive talks, and it's not the EU. Our 'May-ed of Steel' is showing the Brussels brigade for what they are, a bunch of bullies.
They never learn, it was such tactics that turned many away from the EU in the referendum.

As I said earlier

BBC breaking news

"May accuses the EU of making threats to influence the election".

Those tactics will hand May a bigger victory

Here's hoping

if brexit is your overriding concern in the GE, then the sabre rattling can work in either direction depending on your starting point

I think Brexit has to be the main concern in the GE, like it or not if the Tories lose (can't really see that), then we revert to the status quo and be ruled again by Brussels where you can bet on being punished for daring to leave the EU in the first place.

you're right of course george, though there are many other serious and pressing issues - that the tories have not tackled well - that will be pushed into the corner

The tories are trying to camouflage their failures and diverting attention to Brexit.

Maybe is becoming as obnoxious as Trump and even less trustworthy. Her words and lack of future planning is becoming more and more obvious.

She shows a prime example of how not to negotiate strategically.

She would make a fitting leader for UKIP.
