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.

Brilliantly put Haystack. I don't think the government need have any concerns about this by-election.

Interesting to see the results of local elections.
Can hear the tory right wing sharpening their knives.
Cash for their next PR.

Mind the dominant decision the present gang are doing is divesting themselves of any responsibilities.
Forgot.
Smaller prisons, but with more bars in prison.
A new generation of under 30s with debts of 70000 around their necks.
(But inflation will take care of that an bring the amounts down. Or perhaps like Hilary suggested. they may leave the country.)
NHS in chaos. But consultants doing nicely.
Army reduced to one man and a goat.
Aircraft carriers turned into prison ships or used for cruises.
Police on the beat absent. all defending Downing street from the mobs.
Bye the way can Cameron, make an effort and get my rubbish collected.
That would be a job at his skill level.

It is nice to see Labour in oposition. As usual Labour can't accept they they lost an election. They always behave as though they had some god given right to be the government. It is nice to see Labour posturing and complaining about coalition policies and having none of their own. What is especially nice though is Labour being ignored by the coalition. As Labour is NOT in government no one is really interested in what they say.

I always thought it was the Eton elite who behaved as though they had some god given right to be the government. It is nice to see their backbenchers posturing posturing and complaining and sharpening the knives. King Cash for PR and his merry little Englanders.
Sounds like an elite Mafia has got hold of the reins, perhaps, they are trying to emulate Berlusconi.
I do hope the horse doesn't bolt.
Back to the yacht for a chat with a few Oligarchs. I am sure a deal can be done!
Pity about letting Murdock down!

Strange what appears in the mind of the beholder.
Actually, at the moment I think Labour is wise to revalue its future policies for an election in about 12 months time.
The present ruling "elite" doesn't need any opposition, as they seem to be digging bigger and bigger holes for themselves.
They are concentrating on media head lines like the PR men of no moral or intellectual substance. (Like the chancers they are appearing more and more.)
The public are beginning to laugh at them as whiners.
But, I heard that Cameron wanted to have the English cricket team in the cabinet tp help him with his falling popularity.
(They refused the offer.)
I wonder everyday which policies they are going to back down on.

There will not be an election this side of the 5 year plan.

The plan is as reliable as the coalitions' pledges and manifestos.

Hi Haystack,
I presume your comment, "I don't think the complaining about the previous government is wearing thin at all", was a reply to lefty Fred.
I fully agree. People appear to forget that Labour were blaming the previous Conservative Government for everything that had gone wrong even after 13 years and as far as the eve of the last election.
Note.....I don't see Fred's posts as he is on my ignore list.

It is especially rich when the Conservative with Ken Clarke as Chancellor, left a very strong economy. It was that economy that made it possible for Labour to spend and spend. When they ran out of money they taxed and spent and then borrowed and spent. Now we are left with their mess.

Maggie's and Ken strong economy was built on a dying infrastructure and social unrest.
The seeds for further social unrest, reduction in equal opportunities, failure of reasonable standards of medical and social care (representative of an advanced society), inequalities in educational opportunities are being resown by this naive inadequate bunch, who form the present tory "government".
(How many of the cabinet made tax avoiding arrangements for the good of the country before the election. Mind we are all in the mess together. The only thing is the mess seems to be getting bigger day by day.)
It will be interesting to watch the political ramifications of Cameron and Cleggs conniving in party realignments.
