Chancellor be a fine thing...

But clever enough to marry a woman with the ability to earn big bucks ... she'll be doing the business there long after the other stuff is just a dream. I guess most papers tend to show the most unflattering pix of her .... politicing gone mad

Bill Clinton's missus is very much the same, saw her on Trickie and Judes prog good looking woman and no mistake .... In fact that reminds me, I am not a gambler but may have a few ££ on her becoming the first female President.

A very attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the bartender, who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his full beard. "Are you the manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands.

"Actually, no" the man replies. "Can you get him for me?" she asks. "I need to speak to him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair. "I'm afraid I can't", breathes the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes, there is. I need you to give him a message" she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. "What should I tell him?" the bartender manages to say.

"Tell him", she whispers, "There is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies bog".

i dont know what you lot find so funny, you are the idiots who voted for

Can I just stop you there and say "S*D OFF!" No way I would have ever voted for him. I was 16 when Phoney Bliar came to power. At the time I was disgusted that he had become PM. And then when I had my first chance to vote in a General Election, I most certainly did NOT vote for that grinning, should have been kicked in the face long ago, t*sspiece. I despaired that the people in the UK were so stupid.

He is totally unrepresentative of the values of the Labour party, or the ideals of the Labour voter. If he was a "proper" Labour PM I wouldn't mind so much. Yes, there may be hardship but at least you know the money is going towards something worthwhile. But with this monkey, he takes all the worst parts of Tory and mixes them with the "grim depression" of Labour government.

Just tried to find a picture of Bertie Ahern's wife to compare the relative ugliness of first ladies ... but it turns out she divorced him. That is a lot worse than just having an ugly wife! An ugly wife who says "dammit man, you are too ugly even for my dog-like features!"

And Mary Mcaleese, Irish Pres really isn't much to behold (she is the one without the beard )

Now you know I don't like Blair, but his family history isn't quite as *ahem* "interesting" as Ahern's... to paraphrase you, the Irish people are the idiots who voted for him!

this time, they are gonna vote BNP

I may be a young pup, but I have foreseen this for a while. If you look back in world history, when things get REALLY bad, the voters decide it is time to try one of the more extreme parties. Whether or not it works depends on your point of view.

The last time I saw a BNP Party Political Broadcast, the worrying thing was that it was actually better than those of the 3 main parties! It wasn't skinheads in jackboots waving Union Jacks and saying "I bladdy 'ate them braaaaan g*ts". In fact, it came from the point of view of "Those who are fully integrated are just as British as the rest of us, we just want to stop taking in asylum seekers and illegals." Half the BNP members in it were black or asian. Now I don't think they have shifted their stance, but if I was basing my vote purely on party political broadcasts, I would have probably ticked their box. Scary. However when they passed comment on Michael Howard, I believe the press release said "And why should we take this from a man of immigrant stock". This suggests they haven't changed!

Compare that to the Lab and Tory broadcasts, which were almost entirely "We're much better than the other party. You can't trust the other party, we did/are doing it much better than they are/were." Pathetic.

Strange how you never asked why my mom+dad would vote BNP

Didn't say your parents were being racist. That is the point, the BNP have restyled themselves, certainly in their campagin materials. They no longer advertise themselves as a "white power" party but instead more a "British power" party.

The point of democracy is to ensure that people's voices are heard. When things are good, people are happy to vote for the parties who float around the centre. During depressions and wars people aren't so happy and so vote further from the centre. The majority of us, despite our gripes, are generally quite happy at the moment. Your parents are obviously NOT happy with their current situation, and rightly so. Their vote for BNP will demonstrate that they are not happy with the current mainstream choices, and if enough people vote for the more extreme parties it SHOULD make the mainstream parties sit up and think "Why are these people unhappy with us?". Of course it won't, just so long as they are in power they don't give a t*ss.

Before a local election I was discussing politics with a friend. We discussed our planned votes. I was planning on voting UKIP that year, when he found out he said "Why bother? You're wasting your vote unless you vote for Labour or Tory.". I don't think I was wasting my vote. If everyone was a floating voter instead of adamantly voting one thing all their life, their vote would mean a lot more. Where I come from, displaying a poster in your window saying "Vote for Ramsay Braithwate, Labour" would be seen as making you an outsider, "not the type of people we like on the avenue" to quite Margot Ledbetter! However, a mate of mine from Yorkshire told me that voting Tory is virtually criminal where he comes from!

In the last election only 1 in 4 brother to vote, so in my view this is not a proper voting, should make it law that everyone should vote to make it fair.

I think it should be mandatory to vote, with harsh financial penalties if you don't. Only one thing though in order to enforce this, you MUST have a tick box that states non of the above. What that means in practise is another matter but that MUST be in place for compulsory voting.

................Up the road the asylem seekers live it up with refurbished and new houses which are central heated etc etc etc and havent paid anything to this country only took.....

I saw this in the 50's ... Displaced people from Poland ( became great friends ) ... They were housed in warm homes with a better interior standard than most cottages in our village ... Toward the mid 60's they had mostly moved into the private market place, whereas many villagers had to spend large sums on their cottages to bring them up to a decent standard .... Of course the difference was, that the Polish people mostly integrated with us and our communities quite brilliantly.

I say 'Charity begins at home ..'
As a nation, when we take care of our own .... eg. Homeless youngsters on the streets ... Old pensioners in poor OP homes ... Then we could, and probably would with glad heart .. help outsiders.

Personally I couldn't give a fig for the Iraqis, as I also do not expect anything from them ... and certainly would not get it if I did !!

Just where does this nonsense about removing Saddam fit into my world ? U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, played a leading role in building up Iraq's military in the 1980s when Iraq was using chemical weapons, of course twas alright using the chemi stuff against Iranians - not !! ..... Someone made the profits probably pretty well tax free ... Now we the taxed have to pay for the cleanup... and our youngsters in the forces are paying with their lives.

cannot beat a good old British moan !!
