The latest You Gov poll shows Labour ahead of the Conservatives by a whopping 46% to 38%.
My Russian friends here are ever so pleased,as no doubt Mr Putin is and I guess the Argentinians. :-(

If polls tell us anything these days it's that they are not all that reliable- the YouGov polls in particular tend to be a bit misleading because they are based on a voluntary response form of sampling where the more fanatical you are the more likely you are to respond.

The Labour party is a lot more divided than many seem to think and the moderates are going to be replaced by fanatics of Corbyn's choosing - I suspect that will see another version of Labour being established in the next few years to rival this current Marxist cabal

As for what the people of the UK will vote for next time round- who knows. The Conservatives have a working majority, May is still PM (although I suspect she will be replaced before the next election scheduled for 5 years time) but the UK has a lot of problems and someone better start getting a grip and sorting them out or we may indeed find ourselves in an even bigger complete mess being run by "Bennites" who think money grows on trees, the rich are to be despised, all property is theft and all the other economics of envy that invariably lead to disaster.

We need to have a fairer Britain because when the poor get poorer and the rich get richer whilst the national debt goes up there is something seriously wrong (and that indeed may involve the government interfering in the "market"). Anyone who think Corbyn can deliver that is in for a bit of a shock (should that ever come to pass) Some people seem to think that giving everything away for nothing makes things "fairer"- sorry but it doesn't work that way :lol:

Are you seriously not bothered that we may have to surrender to the Russians and give back the Falklands to the Argentinians against the wishes of its people :roll:

Neil,Putin would be well thinking that with Corbyn in power we would not come to the assistance of the US should there be a showdown with the Russians.
That makes the Americans weaker..And let me ask you what has history learned us when a power is shown to be weakening in the event of a well.....difference of opinion.
Mmmmm,there again we never learn off history.

Cannot see what the Falklands have to do with it. U K imperialism is finished. Why the uk should have sovereignty over the Falklands is debatable. Maybe Norway should rule the Shetlands and Orkneys and Outer Hebrides. .

Polls would be more believable if they did not load the questions in a way that you cannot give a real answer, only the nearest to your opinion.
I used to do the yougov one but lost interest when I realised.
I used to be very interested in politics etc but these last couple of years have disgusted me and I cannot honestly say that I care much any more.
They all tell you what you want to hear and then do their own thing.

But why were they British in the first place? British imperialism. How many places in the world were doing alright on their own until Britain came in and screwed them up.

Not according to the "Scottish" Tory and Labour parties, even though it wasn't Britain which colonised it.

It was of course Scotland's disastrous entry into the colonial game that bankrupted the country and led to the Union with England (a Union which the majority of Scots are still happy with.)

Not quite sure why England not wanting war with Spain was behind the disaster, but what the hey- if you believe everything is everyone and anyone's fault except your own you'll make a great "nationalist" :lol:

Not blaming everyone as it was an ill conceived plan not helped by an English embargo and a king of both England and Scotland being partisan. Scotland was not bankrupt, only the rich investors, who were bailed out at the expense of the poor. An attitude that persists to this day.

Below is just a short cut and paste from this document... http://www.belfercenter.org/sites/defau ... %20web.pdf


" Putin’s choice reflects a view
that Russia can only address its non-competitiveness by changing
the world around Russia, and most critically, by changing
the European security system. In Putin’s view, any solution
short of changing the European security system—including full
integration, separation by erecting new walls, freezing the status
quo around Russia, or partnering with other countries to counter-balance
the powers in the European system—only means
Russia’s inevitable loss of great power status and the loss of his
personal power at home.
Consequently, Putin is rearming Russia, remilitarizing Russia’s
overall approach to security, changing Russia’s defense concepts,
adopting continuous destabilization strategies against neighboring
states, and returning to old policy formulas for internal and
external security—all justified and rationalized by the perceived
threat posed by the U.S./European security system around
Russia. His policy requires a changed Europe to enhance Russian
strategic competitiveness and requires a changed Europe "

NATO is worried about Russia and so should we be.

A well written piece ,,,
where did you copy and paste it from ?? ..

but .....Its the very first line that gives it up as
a load of tosh ...

Quote:

the world around Russia,


russia has the world by the short and curlies when it comes to many industries
even the sanctions helped it agriculture industry boost ...
they have enough gas to supply the world ,,, its the west that is buying from them
not the other way around ..
why do you think the yanks wantsanctions on anyone dealing in the gas business with them,
because america wants to sell europe american gas ,, the problem is , its more expensive..

A bit about the author of "this load of tosh".

Stephen Covington has advised nine NATO Supreme Allied
Commanders over a quarter of a century on strategic and
international affairs.  His insights and understanding of the
Eurasian strategic landscape are based on years of study and
firsthand experience in dealing with regional leaders—military
and civilian. Serious students of Russia and NATO will find
Covington’s assessment of President Putin and the impact of his
policy decisions on Russia most helpful.

I am no fan of Putin and the way Russia's wealth is distributed, but Russia has an unemployment rate of 5% and a national debt to GDP ratio of about 15% - if you want to compare that to some (most) EU countries you'd be in for a bit of a shock :shock:

There is currently a bit of a spat in Ukraine primarily brought about by the EU trying to topple a democratically elected government- you can also draw your own conclusions from that

As an advisor to Nato , you may just aswell call him america`s puppet ..
there in lies the lack of credabillity .. in his report ..
the west would like you to think that Russia is on its knee`s I can assure you
they are very far from it , retirement age is 55 with a full pension ,
putin never allowed all state owned sectors to be sold off to his cronnie mates like past british leaders did .. state owned wealth stays just that ,, If the oligarch`s dont pay there fair share of taxes
they are thrown in prison , unless they run to the UK and pay vast amounts to stay safe there..

the world be a much better place , if others took a page out of his book..

P.S
Did you know that every conservative MP
is a millionare :pow

Sorry guys but as is usual the topic I introduced has changed off course as it always does,this is natural and par for course,and no problem.But to bring us back to the original subject introducing my main concern is that if Corbynism is to be the UK,s future, is the UK going to be at the mercy of anyone who wants to take a pop at us.
We think that our forces are weak now,wait till Jeremy gets rid of Trident and the rest.
Who said "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"?Why don,t we ever learn off history?
Oh,,remember Chamberlain landing back in the UK,,and waving his piece of paper signed by somebody called Hitler,a fat lot of good that did us.Com,n lets wake up and smell the coffee or pay the price.
Or not to worry,maybe all our potential enemy,s will feel sorry for us and leave us alone :bearhug :roll:
Oh,again,,North Korea,a tiny little country..Why don't we do something about their threat.?Well done to them ,they have made sure that anyone having a go at them will take,,,well,,,a bloody nose at least :shock:

Potentially a very dangerous character indeed- the national interest most assuredly takes second place to political dogma for this guy.

All the current political problems we are seeing in the UK are down to various people's inability to accept a democratic decision. It's got little to do with leaving the EU (that was always going to throw up a few problems) but the current chaos stems entirely from the lack of respect for a democratic referendum

Had MP's of all parties respected the referendum vote we would not be in this situation now, and make no mistake the majority of Labour MP's and most of their supporters don't want Corbyn as PM. They however have given him his opportunity to stamp his mark on the party and he is going to do his utmost to take it. Labour moderates who did not want to Leave the EU are going to be sidelined and replaced by those who will do as they are told. This despite the fact many Labour moderate supporters will have voted for them on this single issue.

Corbyn doesn't like the EU and I suspect that many of the policies he wants to implement will fall foul of EU competition and ownership laws, so I suspect he will be quite happy to see the UK leave the rules of the single market and the judgements of the ECJ, but he will not do anything about unfettered immigration- the cause of so many of the problems.

His "polices" would actually benefit from the "worst case" Brexit scenario and most of these policies are economic suicide. I suspect that the damage he is capable of causing should he ever become PM will dwarf the ripples Brexit would have caused had we a government in better a position to pursue a fair deal all round

In a perverse sort of way I hope that Corbyn does get in- all those who blustered, delayed, challenged and tried to derail Brexit against the will of the British people will wish their mothers had never met their fathers if he gets his hands on power- it would serve them right if he did

This is a gift for Barnier (given the obvious lack of integrity of politicians today) & he would be an utter fool not to listen to these two self-important quislings. If he can glean any information at all that will help the EU position from these traitors (who probably have inside information that could help the other side in negotiations with our British leave negotiators), he must surely take full advantage of them.

How much more proof is needed that these two renegade 'politicians' have only one intention & that is not in the interest of the UK, but to further their own self engrandisment agenda's?

If this was wartime, they would quite rightly be put against a wall & shot!
So why are our Government not reigning them in?

Theresa May has ignored both the Welsh and Scottish Govts. in the negotiations so it is good that someone is at least listening to them. He has stated that he will only negotiate with the UK Govt. but at least he will know that what the UK is saying may not be the whole story.

Hilarious :lol: Just think- if the EU had not totally ignored Cameron and the UK government's request for reform (desperately needed in the EU by the way) we probably would not be leaving in the first place :roll: Quite why they are now willing to "listen" to people who indeed have no real say in the exit process I can only guess (although I suspect it is along the previously outlined suggestions)

I think the latest interventions by Mr Blair and Mr Hammond make really interesting reading - not always seen eye to eye with Mr Blair but think on this one he is bang on.
The Conservative party is in turmoil - they are not even stabbing Theresa May in the back anymore its straight in her front. Will be a leadership contest in September/October and that will determine the future of our great country - and it is great despite its issues (of which there are quite a few) The Labour party do not have a position - trying desperately to say what they think the majority wish them to say - which changes by the week depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Without trying to be political people need to wake up about immigration - without the people coming into our country our under pressure services would grind to a halt. As a country for 30-40 years we have virtually given up on investing in our young people (both parties) as it was cheaper to bring in labour(excuse the pun) from overseas. We are now paying the price for that incompetence. The real issue is not the levels of immigration, personally if people integrate into the British way of life than I am very happy. Lets face it our country over many hundreds of years has grown from immigration. However when there is no integration (such as the northern towns and cities such as Rochdale, Oldham, Burnley etc
then we have serious issues. In those areas the tensions are awful on both side of the divide. What is required is brave people from each community to reach out and try and find things in common - something which is slowly happening in Northern Ireland. If the young people can mix then there is hope for us all. All remember we are all the same - when we cut we bleed.
