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.

You can forget the Hammond wet dream Stan, it's not going to happen.
If he did manage to make it to the top, that would be the end of the tory party.
But there is a silver lining, Corby will kill the labour party sure as shit.
Nigel is talking about coming back, and that's the end of all your houses!

The great Brexit betrayal has begun. The Tories have sold out the British people - now even Jeremy Corbyn has a tougher stance

When I heard that the government minister Lord Prior had told a meeting of tech and insurance leaders last week that they shouldn’t worry about barriers to entry for future employees from the EU, I thought he’d gone too far. How could a Brexit administration elected on a promise of reducing net migration to the tens of thousands tolerate such behaviour? Surely Lord Prior would be sacked?
Instead, it got worse. A new Cabinet consensus around transitional arrangements has been unveiled. Under it, open borders will be maintained for a minimum of two years after we finally leave the EU in 2019. Britain will have to wait until at least 2021 – five years after the Brexit referendum – to take back control. Millions who voted Leave will feel cheated, and rightly so: it’s clear the great Brexit betrayal has begun.

Stan,
I agree with you about Hammond.
Been watching him for 10+ years.
A quiet man, moving slowly up the very greasy tory pole.
Another quiet guy who comes over as a possibility for me is Greg Clark.
Quiet, thoughtful and presentable.
-=-===
But what a rag tag of a party.

Meanwhile, the tories start to dive in Max's American pool dream looking for a Trunp card.
Do you laugh or cry?

Personally. I dont see that as a betrayal Max. More common sense. We will need all the skills we can get when the country rids itself of the EU leeches and really starts to grow. Most of the EU workers I have seen in this country are prepared to graft because they see the rewards after a lifetime of no hope in their own countries. Accomodate them and boot out the illegals from elsewhere.

New diesel and petrol cars banned from UK roads by 2040
By Steven Swinford, Deputy Political Editor
26 July 2017 • 11:13am
Plans to ban the sale of new diesel and petrol cars by 2040 in a bid to encourage people to buy electric vehicles are a "tall order" and will place unprecedented strain on the National Grid, motoring experts have warned.
Michael Gove, the Environment Secretary, has warned that Britain "can't carry on" with petrol and diesel cars because of the damage that they are doing to people's health and the planet. "There is no alternative to embracing new technology," he said.
However the AA warned that the National Grid would be under pressure to "cope with a mass switch-on after the evening rush hour", while Which? Car magazine warned that electric cars are currently more expensive and less practical.
Just 4 per cent of new car sales are for electric vehicles, and concerns have also been raised about whether Britain will have enough charging points for the new generation of cars.

Survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire have challenged the retired judge heading the inquiry into the disaster at an impassioned meeting.
Residents met with Sir Martin Moore-Bick, who is heading the panel, on Monday evening in a consultation designed to let them air their views on what they want the investigation to examine.
But the crowd made it clear they have little confidence in the inquiry. One local resident drew applause and cheers as she said: "You do not have our confidence, you do not represent us and you do not look like any of us."
The problem is that very few native Brits look like them.

Sarah Margaret Lipsett according to Edward MacLysaght, the origin of the name Lipsett in County Donegal derived from Ashkenazi Jewish settlers in the 18th century as an Anglicization of Lipsitz. This would make Tony Blair himself a Jew accord to the Halacha.
Tony was fined £50 for trying to solicit men in public toilets, something he had done since his cross dressing days at college, and he was later to steal Cherie from Derry Irving with whom he shared a flat.
Tony’s rise on the British political ladder was masterminded by Lord Levy, while Rothschild’s British representative Peter Mandelson was directly over him and masterminded the creation of the Zionist front org, "New labour" which really had just one purpose, to Bring the British army into war with Iraq for Israel's benefit.
Tony Blair, voted the worst Prime Minister in living memory, worse than Thatcher who destroyed British Industry, worse that pedophile Edward Heath who took us into the EU after we fought W W II to stay out, worse than gay Gordon Brown who sold our gold reserves to Rothschild on the day the gold price was at its lowest ever, and even worse than Winston Churchill of whom his pal Aleister Crowley said was one criminal lunatic. this was covered up

The Blair story is known widely, but there is no evidence of it being true. People have attempted to look for any proof. It appears to be a fake story

Abbott has been defending the actions of rioters in London as understandable.
She needs locking up with them.

Interesting that the local black population in Dalston are claiming white people moving in are colonising the area. They have been ironically saying that the white people should go back where they came from such as Exeter.
My family lived there 150 years ago.

So are you saying that your lot left early, if so where did they move to?
