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.

clock . yes the young want free hand outs , I worked all my life still pay taxes never had a penny in hand outs all my working life ,
I have along with many hundreds given hand outs to our children .

my daughter employs over 38 people but will not employ those from uni has they do not want to work they think they are to good to take orders so they end up in mcdons or Tesco .

I would never employ them

it should now be a run off with just lab/con

may must go or call another election in two weeks

Things are too frantic and a lot of hot air at the moment needto get together and think , for once .

father christmas will exact a very heavy toll indeed if he gets into power

some of it will be obvious - tax, tax and yet more tax - and some of it more subtle like borrow, borrow, borrow and a hefty rate given weak £ and the start of sharp inflation once again

The Cons now need to rally behind May and prepare for anothe election before the deal she strikes with the EU to get public support for it and her. It can be a harder deal than many would like but by that time the tide will have turned in her favour.

clock to a point , I believe has a con she must be replaced and I always wanted daved davies . but P MORGAN ON TV IS THE ONLY PERSON TALKING SENSE

were is MAY she is again silent we can not have a silent leader

Corbyn is exuberant at the moment but what will that bring out , will we see an over confidence and errors emerge , low lives coming out of the woodwork for the ride .

have lost all my faith in the party , the policies destroyed the party

if FARAGE comes back it will be good news ,

pound falling euro falling markets falling pension funds down big time

the eu leaders are saying brexit is not going to happen

Labour offering loadsa free stuff turned the vote over.

£27k tuition fees with the tories, free with old labour...what would you choose?

Tories will nick your house...free old age care with labour, what would you choose?



The list goes on, never mind there isn't the money, people don't think about that.

She failed to use her most powerful public guns - to drive her message home - was Boris in hiding? She kept Hammonds job hanging on a thread, failed to use Andrea Leadsom as a strong but softer face of the Con Party. Put it down to poor management.

Manuel,

How much was Sterling devalued by Cameron and the con artists having a referendum and failing?

What are the con artists intentions or goals (other than home goals) on Brexit?

This McDonnell is weird says Cons can't govern but he wants a minority Lab gov to govern with no deals , how can that work .

MaxK - Spot on - people seem to forget that the money comes from them to pay for those things but when voting think the Fairy`s provide it.

it's now history, but the tory manifesto (dementia tax) was the most appalling blunder and probably cost them the election majority on its own

more interesting is the forward path through the brexit negotiations
there will be much head scratching among all parties in uk and europe on how best to do this and what result would actually benefit all
as always, major negotiation will continue behind the scene

to my mind, brexit is far and away the most important issue, with the nhs and its humungous problems that will just continue to grow following on behind

throwing money at the nhs by the barrowload would be merely a sticking plaster, though a very heavy one indeed for us taxpayers

Labour apparently still want Brexit but what are they prepared to accept , who knows .

77531 - it depends where the pension fund is invested ..... my own sipp has a decent sprinkling of $-earners and is unlikely to be negatively affected

I agree cynic ,i thought at the time why oh why would you come out with that one now .

If these negotiations take two years , why are we panicking now , go into them with pomposity and grind them down wipe the smile off their faces . There won't be a vote for two years things can change .
