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.

because he can be a total tosser and conducted a very stupid vendetta against doodlebug (mainly), in which process he was egged on .... they were subsequently both banned

GF really was a fool to himself and wouldn't listen to advice, but horses to water etc

=======

for myself, i still stay in touch with him on advfn, where there's a sensible but rather too quiet political thread that he instigated

hay people like myself voted con not ukip to keep out the snp
do not talk shite. you simpleton

didn't do too well then did you!

Election results:

Conservatives
325 seats
needs one more for that 326 important point
After 641 of 650 seats

cynic. Scotland we should now call their bluff and give them another vote as soon as pos. and hope they vote to leave

The facts don't bear that out. All the Conservative gains come from lost Lib seats.

I agree Tanker but we should stop giving them the extra money they used to bribe them with immediately.

a conservative mp as just said now we have a majority we do not need a eu vote and should avoid having one

Clegg the closet Tory falls on his sword , good riddance.

Conservatives actually only need 323 for a majority because SF never take their seats in parliament.

In reality, it looks like the Tories will have a decent working majority.

mentor - i wonder if there's any advance on the 329 that has been predicted since about 07:00 .... anyway, all will be revealed by late this afternoon latest

I was in a very small minority of about 1 who predicted an overall majority for the Tories, and whilst I didn't put my ''skirt on it'' as Fred suggested, I've done very well thank you.

DIL - from my post 59890 .....
scotland is interesting
as was observed by someone on the box this morning .... if scotland want fiscal autonomy or something approaching that, then let them raise the money for all the SNP promises from scottish pockets .... that would assuredly concentrate a few minds!

Lol is Clegg thick or what ?

He just said its too early to say why they suffered such catastrophic losses .... its cos you sold your members out to the Tories last time round you numpty !

Earlier in the morning, the former Bradford West MP George Galloway lost out to Labour's Naseem Shah, who won with more than 19,000 votes.

Mr Galloway took the traditional Labour stronghold in a by-election in 2012 with a majority of 10,140 votes.
Earlier, he was reported to police by Bradford Council for allegedly breaking election laws. He is said to have retweeted his party's own exit poll before voting ended.
Ms Shah criticised Mr Galloway's campaign, saying it had "demeaned democracy".

'Personal attacks'
The Labour candidate won with a majority of more than 11,000. Mr Galloway's Respect party won 8,557 votes and the Conservatives 6,160.

Ms Shah is a political newcomer who has overcome childhood poverty, a teenage forced marriage and the imprisonment of her mother for killing an abusive partner.
She had urged voters to reject Mr Galloway, saying: "We do not need a one-man Messiah to tell us how to come and fix up Bradford.''

After being elected, Ms Shah said: "I want to thank the people of Bradford West. You have placed your trust in me to be your voice in Parliament. Can I thank all of my opponents - with the exception of one - who all conducted themselves with dignity and fought the election on issues in the spirit of friendly rivalry. To Mr Galloway, I say that your campaign demeaned our democracy, but personal attacks on me have not worked. The people of Bradford West have seen through this and you have been sent on your way."

cynic , thats what worries me about the loonies here in Wales who want more power.

Galloway worse than any other candidate by a mile , repugnant man .

Hark at Ed's speech ,he sounds like Fred .

Cammy off for a cuppa with the Queen.

Maybe she can persuade him to ditch Scotland.

Not whilst hubby is D of E.
