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.

I already voted for Andrea Leadsom (Conservative) by post about a week or so ago.

2517GEORGE in his post 77437 says it all for me:

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.

From: https://www.thecanary.co/2017/06/07/boris-johnson-left-floundering-journalist-finally-asks-question-sink-tories-video/

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."

Well, I don't really trust ANY politicians of any political persuasion. :-)

But I do want to vote for someone rather than just sit on the fence.

Consequently, I voted for my very hard working 'already in situ' Andrea Leadsom (Tory).

Andrea does actually seem to be keeping her head below the parapet. Her local leaflet was actually from Theresa May and merely supported Andrea as being a tory worth voting for - such is the style of her 'strong and stable TM and government' election theme.

"Covfefe" as they all are fashionably saying nowadays.

Yes, "Covfefe".

may to get a 86 seat moj

EL - to me the key point you posted was ..... Shall I vote for a party who's leader is promising everything to everybody

exactly that ...... as someone else said, it's a real Santa's Wish List, that can only be paid for by huge tax increases, both overt and covert (eg cutting IHT allowance) and mind-boggling borrowing ...... the effect on sterling can be conveniently swept under the carpet notwithstanding that there'll be massive devaluation (loss of confidence in £) and inflation on its coattails

how do you post a pic here that does not have a URL link - ie it's an ordinary camera pic?

Diane Abbott as Chancellor .........

cynic

QN. Cynic, when you can't even be arsed yourself to use ANY capital letters, full stops, decent grammar and punctuation, so that people can more easily understand what you mean and are trying to say, then WTF should anyone bother to type stuff up on here to help you with something like this? It contradicts your own attitudes about things, doesn't it?

Anyhow, that apart.....

First you've got to load up the image onto your computer (it will then have a 'file location' on your computer which you can duly Browse to when you want to upload it onto the internet).

You then go to somewhere on the Internet, like the following (it's FREE), and duly 'Upload' a copy of your image onto a web site:

https://ctrlq.org/images/

Once it's on a web site on the Internet, then you need to provide everyone on here with an HTML link to it. The easiest way to do that, is to use MoneyAM's little tool:

It looks like this and is situated near to the top of your moneyAM posting box:

thanks .... btw, i most assuredly punctuate though as a (silly) quirk, i choose not to use capitals

there you are ..... was it not worth helping me?

No!!!!!!!

Which one is a picture of you?

Calm down girls :0) Noticed Freda has got more nasty as the weeks gone on, keep waving that red flag mate best Labour supporter ever, respect. Hot tip Freda go long Kleenex LOL!!!!

If you are still sat on the fence and don't know who to vote for:

Here's a web site with all the Manifesto promises from each political party and presented in a brief orderly list

I think after this i'll refrain from politics , they all lie , but in some ways it's getting impossible not to . There's just too much diversity out there now too many opposites all want ,want ,want . The green party i think has one MP but gets a voice and pictures with the rest of them , green energy will come when it's good enough and she says we should allow anyone to reside in this country , no thought of over population at all , you need endless houses for that , utterly stupid .

d day , its now impossible for any party to do what is correct for the country its now in splinters devided and broke never mind who wins .
the uk has a divided nation . its not good because the public now do not support democracy . in the end it is no good for any one

I except the ballot box win or lose we have to
