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.

Well, I have to admit, that reading the following has really upset me. It's a real 'eye opener'!
Indeed, I can now see much more clearly why tons of people hate the Tories so very much.
This stuff is definitely worth a read.
Loads and loads of really nasty Tory policies - 29 of them, actually

Post 77434.
The Mirror is a Labour rag so it will be biased, that's not dismissing their claims but they write, we read and then form our views, it's the same with a Tory rag.
I will vote based on the following which is not in order of priority.
Brexit negotiations start just a few days after the GE---who do I think will get the best deal
The economy--- without a thriving economy wealth cannot be created and sufficient taxes cannot be raised
Who will make a better job of keeping us safe
NHS who will take the tough decisions required to restore the NHS to it's former glory
There are many other factors such as:-
Shall I vote for a party who's leader and his next chancellor openly supports terrorism
Shall I vote for a party who's leader is promising everything to everybody
Shall I vote for a party who's leader is so academically challenged that he couldn't pass a classroom door.
Shall I vote for a party that borrowed to the hilt and left the country in dire straits and took great pleasure in letting the incoming coalition know that the cupboard was bare.

At long last, a journalist has asked the question that could sink the Conservatives after the recent terror attacks. Channel 4‘s Michael Crick left Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson in a mess after challenging him on a report into terrorist funding. The Conservatives are trying to suppress the investigation because it reportedly highlights the role Saudi Arabia plays in funding terror.
Theresa May is a strong supporter of Saudi Arabia, and her government recently approved £3.5bn worth of arms export licences. The Conservatives only issued the investigation in the first place as part of a deal with the Liberal Democrats. Now they are burying its findings, which appears to suggest the ruling party values arms sales to a foreign power over the safety of British citizens.
Crick asked:
Mr Johnson, why has your government suppressed this report on the funding of terrorist groups, which apparently points the finger hugely at the Saudis? Isn’t it better for you, in the current climate, to confront the Saudis about this rather than cosying up to them?
The Conservative Party has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia. Tory politicians have received nearly £100,000 in gifts, trips and fees from the hereditary dictatorship.
A visibly distressed Johnson fumbled in response:
Look I… I… think err, you’re making a, err… valid point about the funding…
Then Johnson engaged in about a minute of empty platitudes. Speaking about institutions where “all sorts of hate-filled nonsense is being spouted”, he simply said:
we’ve got to stop that

"He served at the Treasury and when the Tory government fell in 1964 he was made private secretary to James Callaghan, the incoming Labour chancellor. When Callaghan arrived he found a note from Reggie Maudling, his Tory predecessor. It read: "Good luck old cock. Sorry to leave it in such a mess." Much the same sentiment but written in a more beguiling way than the letter left by Labour's Liam Byrne for his coalition successor last month saying there was no money."
