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.

In any other time Corbyn would have resigned. He has allowed a free vote because his shadow cabinet told him that they would stand for nothing less. He then got a 'kickung' at the meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party last night. He started out yesterday morning determined to wip the party to vote against bombing. By the end of the day he was forced to give into all the demands of the Shadow Cabinet and the Labour MPs.
His followers tried to give the impression that he was giving a free vote. Nothing could be further from the truth. His promise of a free vote was extracted from him like pulling a tooth. How can Corbyn stay on after such a farce? The estimate from Corbyn's own whips is that as many as 100+ plus may vote for the government.

Labour have been forced to cancel a phone canvassing event in support of Oldham by-election candidate Jim McMahon at their Brewers Green HQ tonight. The safety of those attending the scheduled “phonebank” at One Brewers Green could not be guaranteed because Stop the War are marching on it in protest at Corbyn’s decision to allow a free vote. Labour sources are understandably furious. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face…

JB,
I suppose you will be leading from the front, or perhaps, and more likely shitting yourself in you armchair in front of the TV.

Hays.
Many tories are asking for a free vote, and many will probably NO to the proposed bill, but Cameron hasn't the guts nor the decency to give a free vote.
He couldn't stand a vote going against him.
Immature school common room behaviour from a stunted background!

do you KNOW FOR SURE that tory MPs are not being allowed a free vote?
i dare say reluctant tory MPs are feeling a bit of heat, but probably less than that being exerted by mccluskey who intend to vote with the gov't
btw, the tory MP on the tv this morning did not give any impression of other than a free vote, for he was inclined to vote against, but was still undecided

It looks like the Libs and DUP will vote with the government.

There could be quite a large majority in favour of action.

I see a Gestapo type troll is on the prowl again.
Wishing to suppress any view he doesn't understand or disagrees with.
Reminds me of a behaviour problem.
Perhaps, it is a call for help!

I have heard the Free vote discussed by Davis and others who said that they would probably vote against the "bombing" unless there was a more definite plan for action and the aftermath.
I think I recall one of the present cabinet saying it would be tory whipped vote.
Nothing wrong with a little whipping

Jb,
If you are quiet and take your medication as instructed, you may be let out of padded cell in a few days.
Good luck!

i always understood that saudi bought on the open market provided there was sufficient backsheesh on offer from the supplier
marginally more seriously .....
the banks in that region have now tightened up hugely (over the last 2/3 years) to stop laundering, to the extent that a client of mine in bahrain had some silly delays imposed on his last payment to me
