Interesting If True ...

[sunny-dave]

The Conservatives could be in some deep doo-doo if this report is found to be true - with results in some marginal seats at risk of being overturned

Has Trump gone yet?


I think that is now where we are at.

[Davemano]

This is nothing more than may have, might have, possible have etc etc and not worth giving a second thought to.

[sunny-dave]

It's not conclusive, I grant you - but often these reports serve to flush out people who've got some more concrete evidence ... which would be 'interesting'

[-Talbot-]

As someone brought Trump into the thread lol @ this

Solar walls.............. Visit to the dragons den Mr. Trump.!!

[jno]

a solar wall on the Scottish border, what could possibly go wrong? It ought to pump out enough energy in a year to grow a thistle.

[anneasquith]

It would " pay for itself" though jno :-)

[jno]

you could train haggis plants to grow up it, though possibly only on the south-facing side.

[anneasquith]

Jno jno jno........... Haggis are animals. :+-)

I watched the report on Ch4 and its quite clear that there are questions that the Tory Party needs to answer.

I received one of these calls on the day before the Election, and it was a Welsh voice that did the asking. Turns out it came from a place about 4 miles away.

Full video and footage is here. Seems pretty damning.

I had a call on election day from the Labour party, so people in glass houses...

[-Talbot-]

What did they ask, mikey?



Mrs May hates puppies and kittens (can't find the link but I'm sure I read it)

[Kromovaracun]

The problem isn't canvassing by phone, Jack, it's hiring people to canvass for you, which as far as I understand is illegal.

[Peter Pedant]

well by contrast - Macron ( zee Fransh President for ABers who dont do forrin ) has lost four cabinet members
and he's only just been elected

( corruption apparently)

[-Talbot-]

Corrupt politicians?

What is happening to the world?

(Line from withnall and I innit ?)

when Thatcher was hugging a calf for the cameras
Dennis was heard to mutter: get it off her or we will have a dead calf on our hands
