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.

some what to my suprise, i note from the latest opion poll i saw - albeit evening standard but i think via MORI - that the parties are still level (surely labour should be 5/7% ahead on recent performances and scandals?) and corbyn's personal rating is now even lower than before the election

I've just watched that.
Oh dear!
As Piers said, since she is Shadow Home Secretary now, there is a possibility that this very silly and utterly, mentally incompetent, fudging woman, could well become the Home Secretary after the next General Election.
I sincerely do believe we need a very clear thinking, clear speaking, clear explaining type of guy, like Jason Rees-Mogg, to take over a political party before the next election, and it has to be the Conservative Party.

DA proves herself to be a plank time after time in front of the cameras. Is this the best the labour party can do?
Every time she opens her mouth JC must have nightmares.

LOL - Well it would only to be giving him support because I guess she might be of the view that he has few friends that would or maybe even could.

In all fairness he hasn't got a lot to choose from as most Labour MP's can't stand Corbyn or his policies.
Some real dickheads in his shadow cabinet.

Mother defeats Boots over 'sexualised' make-up as stores withdraw eyeshadow from sale
Telegraph Reporters
30 APRIL 2018 • 11:34AM
A mother-of-two has claimed victory over Boots after the pharmacy withdrew what she claimed was "sexualised" make-up.
Angela Fitzsimons, 46, was left outraged when her 17-year-old daughter Grace came home with Obsession Obsessive Eyes makeup palette - which included colour shades such as "milf", "foreplay" and "sugar daddy".
('milf' - if you want to know what it means, then Google it)
The teenager picked up the selection of eyeshadows from Boots' Loughborough branch last week, and her mother branded the wording "unnecessary and crude".
Now the beauty retailer has admitted it got it wrong and promised to remove the product - which is also sold on the Revolution makeup website.
Ms Fitzsimons said the palette, which costs £12 for 24 eyeshadows, would appeal to younger girls even if it wasn't specifically marketed at them.
The eyeshadow names also include housewife, safeword, chauvinist, dealer, wasted, vape, blackmail and full package.
Ms Fitzsimons, of Shepshed, Leicestershire, said: "Grace had been out with her friends and she brought home this palette which she bought with some birthday vouchers.
"She said they were nice colours but the names were gross. I looked closer and saw they were called things like milf, homewrecker and dealer. It was pretty rank.
"I complained to Boots and they replied that it was not marketed at children but I don't think that makes a difference.
"At that price you will get children aged 12, 13, and 14 buying it. Even if they don't buy it they will be seeing these words."
Carer Ms Fitzsimons, who also has a 19-year-old daughter Rose, questioned the brand's motive, and said: "I think they're trying to copy other brands that also give their products grim names but these are more expensive so are more likely to be bought by adults.
"It's completely unnecessary. It's gratuitous and crude. I think they did it for the shock value.
"I thought 'foreplay. What on earth?'. I said to my friend half in jest can you imagine a couple of 13-year-olds saying, 'I'm wearing foreplay with a touch of home wrecker today?'.
"It's over-sexualising children and is completely demeaning. It's makeup and it's there to make you feel better about yourself but it's like it's saying you should be proud to be a homewrecker or a dealer.
"It sends out the wrong message and it normalises these words for teens. It's provocative for the sake of being provocative.
"I think I was shocked that they came from Boots because you think of them as a quality retailer and a name you can trust."
A spokeswoman for Obsession issued a comment through Boots, confirming that the product will be removed from stores and online "with immediate effect".

She said: "Obsession is a new brand. While we were experimenting with our personality, we know we haven't always got things quite right and some of our shade names need work.
"This is something we're addressing and fixing as a priority as new products launch and we will not repeat these shades names, or genre of shade names, in future.
"However, we also want to act now. We are committed to listening to our customers and reacting to feedback at speed.
"This complaint has made us accelerate our plan and we will remove this product, Obsessive Eyes, from stores and online with immediate effect."

Could represent the tory party and camp followers.
Although the latter seems as if they are already are in the wilderness.
