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.

now go and read the rules as to why .... as usual, you're talking total crap without a grasp of the facts or indeed much else....
whether or not those rules should have been applied, when morality and public perception would see it otherwise, is another matter

Cameron doesn't know which way to lean.
The party implodes and he can't afford a pizza.

People moaning, 23 years after Thatcher left power, and not one of her policies has ever been reversed: what does that tell you about her getting it right?
ok , the poll tax
But how many of the anti union law's , Labour had 14 years to reverse them

indeed, i saw in the papers that one of the labour grandees (shadow cabinet?) said that the unions needed a further spanking

The 'poll tax' was one of the best policies.

Sounds like all your yesterdays.
Some of the memories are confabulated.
I suppose a little like the present tory coalition.
Not sure who the tories will be able to blame at the next election.
Will it be Heath, or even Maggie (for signature), but I bet it won't be themselves.
The excuses are already be written. (Of course there could be another U-turn.)
What a bunch of schoolboys and "girls".

The school boys and girls are clearly Labour. Ed Miliband still looks like a sixth form perfect. No wonder he is so unpopular with the public and Labour MPs alike. Can he last out until an election?

Clegg, Miliband, Cameron all have one thing in common, the public doesn't trust them. Is Farage really being voted for due to policy? If so then you'd assume people are aware of UKIP's policies, not so. Farage is winning votes because the public trust him more than the other three amigos heading their parties. A reshuffle must come before the next election I think or else.

Tories to publish details of draft EU referendum bill
The Conservatives are to publish a draft parliamentary bill to legislate for an in-out referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union to be held by the end of 2017.

Misuse of public money for torid party needs, comes to mind.
Cameron is a leader being led by his nose.

PS.
Stupid, but what one would expect of this leadership.
Suggest the tories oust Cameron and his disastrous side kick Osborne and offer the job to Farage or Boris.

It is a good idea. There is no government time available for the bill and the Libs would oppose adding it to the government list. It will have to be introduced as a private member's bill by a back bencher.
The good thing about it is that if the bill is debated and voted on, Labour and the Libs will almost certainly vote against it. This leaves both parties in a very difficult position regarding the electorate. The voters will see these two parties opposing a referendum. The winner in in that situation is going to be the Conservatives.

certainly a strong whiff of being panicked into draft legislation, but it sure throws labour into a tizzy, so it's sort of good news, bad news ...... ukip have one of their major planks damaged too, though they'll now rattle on that the referendum should be "next week" instead of after much thought and debate ...... lib/dems are also wrong-footed as they don't want any sort of debate with a potential view to walking out of eu
in sensible circumstances - in politics? hahaha! - i think DC was quite right; try to negotiate an acceptable deal, and only after that, go to referendum or whatever ..... anyway, for whatever reason, his hand has now been forced
