I would not necessarily be so confident if I were them. It was a long wait the last time. The economy will eventually improve despite current doom and gloom and its hard to win an election if you are in opposition when the economy eventually picks up a head of steam.

We shall see. I think there is a lot of old school malevolence in the tory party that would like to see this fail and Cameron will have to stand up against if indeed he has the genuine will to make this work and he?s not just playing games.


I think Clegg will face similar from some sections of the LibDems but not to the same extent.


If this works it will be testament to both their leadership capabilities.

Well...


Boris is helping his twin brother "Horace" in looking for a job, maybe Dave or Nick have some useful contacts


Any suggestions ?


I'm "Boris" http://www.madametussauds.com/SiteImages/Assets/1/Default-sidebysidepx.jpg ..and I'm "Hh h hhhhorace" ( he has a stutter BTW )




Personally, I think Boris is the more "identical" of the twins

If it requires a majority vote of no confidence in the government then is there anything to prevent the two staying together.


Vince Cable is the one in the spotlight now after announcing a higher CGT rate and possibly a bank levy too, the whole City will potentially be up in arms. That's the most likely thing that will bring this coalition down, if he is castigated and its generally seen that the Tories would be better without him and Clegg. The Tories then call a general election as they think they can win a clear majority, after all who is going to vote Lib Dem ever again if you are really voting Tory? Increased majority for the Tories will follow next time.

For the sake of common sense and the good of the country I sincerely hope you are wrong on all those counts.


I?m sure the city?s propaganda machines are already starting to grind into action. It should be similar to the protests a while ago. You here the employees speaking about whichever truth they are currently being sold a few hours before it breaks as a news story somewhere.

I am not unhappy at the change of Government. Not because I support the Conservatives, but because I felt that the Labour Goverment was tired and had run out of new ideas. Change was needed for catharsis.


Gordon saved our arses during the economic crash - at huge cost BUT that was required.


Questions have to be asked about why he introduced deregulation to the City that allowed the City institutions and high street banks to become inter-twined in such a way the bank account holder on the street was threatened by exotic and toxic financial instruments dreamt up in the city and based on dodgy loans given to poverty stricken Americans to buy over-priced badly built homes; but then, only Vince Cable was pointing out the stupidity of this.

Jeremy - don't really want to get into tit for tat arguments but ........


1. Other countries were / are affected by the global financial crisis but not many (if any) had already built up a major deficit by funding so much of gov't spending by debt.


2. Yes Tories voted for the war - but they didn't write the dodgy dossier on which much of the parliamentary decision was based and, generally if Tories send troops to war they are given full support and back up. The Falklands was a war no one anticipated but all stops were pulled out to fund all necessary actions and equipment to back up the military - even to the extent of converting SS Canberra over a weekend to take helicopters and act as a hospital ship.

Actually a few countries had already over-borrowed before the crisis (Greece being the obvious example) but I take your point.


The dossier was totally lacking in substance... regardless of who cooked it up, anyone who agreed it was a basis for war is not without guilt!

You say this in jest Jenny, however, much like an iceberg, 2/3 of the biggest cocks are hidden.


In reality they are even bigger cocks than they seem.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
