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.

If I was a betting man, I would take into consideration how the Lib Dems and the defecting Tories who have gone over to UKIP are all more recently aligned to being mates with the Tories and their policies. They are also more recently used to sharing power with them.

So my bet on a coalition would be for an agreement between three parties:

Tory/UKIP/Lib Dem

This would also ensure the UKIP and Tories get the Referendum and the Lib Dems might be persuaded to at least go along with this.

Nigel gets a seat at the cabinet table. So too, do Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander.

Whilst ever Ed Milliboring Bellybuttonband (you know, the one with the snuffle and the Wallace and Gromit teeth, who can't even do any other than stitch his own brother up and so who the hell would ever do a deal with him?) is leader of the Labour lot, then no one is going to share power with him/them.

I'll leave it at that for now.

:-)

What does Nigel get ?

Are you looking at your reflection in the mirror in hope?

I can see one or two Lib MPS moving to the Con party, as they are goners in their own party.

(Just wonder if Danny boy and Boy David might jump ship!)

But I "feel" the libs feel "burnt" by the connections with Cons and would not trust them again.

Could be wrong, but don't think so.

I doubt that UKIP will have enough MPs to enter into a coalition. There are other parties, such as the Unionists to go into coalition with and they will probably have more seats than UKIP. UKIP are still on track to win zero new seats at the GE

And by the way Cameron said that he wouldn't pay the bill on December 1. He didn't say he wouldn't pay it.

No, he will be a rent boy for it and pay interest on the outstanding amount!

Sorry, the UK will pay the outstanding the rent.

Another PR are failure for a U-turn and blame somebody else.

I know try Georgie boy!

Not when he first spoke about it he didn't, he said he wouldn't pay it

No. He has always said that he wouldn't pay on December 1. I saw the first speech where he mentioned it.

If it were actually Cameroon who had to foot the bill instead of us, it might have put a bit of steel in his backbone.

Alas, it's only taxpayers money, so who gives a toss?



It's all a game anyway, posture and position to try and fool the gullable into thinking he actually gives a damn.

It's all a game anyway, posture and position
that much is true all round, as so much of political life is

Max,

He uses somebody else's backbone.

He can't even stand up to his own party.

Just weaves and ducks.

,

If camoron doesnt pay on 1st of December we just pick up heavy interest charges at something like a rate of interest of 57% per month until we do pay it.

Bring on WONGA.

Maybe the rate is so high because the original charge includes the Black Economy prostitution and drugs included.

But Cameron is in charge of ?

There is not necessarily anything wrong with the demand sent by the EU. There are balancing amounts paid and received all the time. This one just stood out as it was larger than normal. We may well pay it or a smaller amount. The figure is not that much in the scheme of things. For instance, it is less than the rebate that Blair gave away.

whatever the truth of that comment, the public perception will be that eu is ripping us off for money that could be much better spent elsewhere - eg nurses (as opposed to nhs which is just a black hole)

The European Commission slashed its expectations for eurozone growth in its latest autumn economic report. The commission now expects the economy will grow by only 0.8% this year, 1.1% in 2015 and 1.7% in 2016. It also gave major downgrades to the outlook for the two largest eurozone economies — France and Germany. The eurozone continues to struggle with terribly low inflation and high unemployment.


as i have said previously about germany's smoke and mirrors economy

Manuel,

Cameron has attempted to make it look like the EU is ripping the UK off for internal party political reasons.

At the same attempting to con large parts of the public, which he doing.

And this is being done for party politics at the expense of the public purse. I think it is the actions of a corrupt government.

Cameron and Lansley have ripped the UK public off for about £3 billion for their stupidity of ideological changes in the NHS.

========

Protect us from centralisation and even more from the fiefdoms which will be created under the decentralisation policies. Another, knee jerk response to UKIP and the referendum.

Can't you tell him governments are supposed to act for the good of the public, not to react to the public.

fred - that was not what i wrote, as you like to remind me from time ..... try the words "public perception"

typically of course you go off on one of your usual (and rather silly) tirades and rants :-)

Manuel,

I mentioned your nickname not your comment or opinion.


Check your glasses and pour yourself another drink.

Cameron is a goner.

He is even losing or has lost the trust of his own party and backers.

what's that got to do with public perception of the £1.7bn demanded by eu?
