Have to agree with this. The Tory wars is about to begin. Backwoods revolt in full swing.

UK won't leave the EU. It will be difficult enough to get the bill through the lower house. MP's have a second gravy train now and dream of picking up EU jobs once they leave the house. There is perhaps a core right wing group of the Tories based around the 1922 committee and at most 30/40 MP's that want out but it won't be enough. Even if the bill gets through the whole weight of the EU propaganda machine will go into overdrive negating the sceptic right wing media. Think we will stay in but it might be close. Scotland and Wales want in and maybe half of Eng want out. The EU is a kind of socialism by the back door and hence its initial appeal to Labour back in the day...Various bits of social, rights and employment legislation hold in check knee jerk Capitalism. The other side to it of course that a lot of the legislation favours big companies, especially all the Green stuff which is counter productive to business and expensive to implement. The world is moving to 5 trade zones and there isn't a fucking thing anyone can do about it. If I was running things I'd kick off by flattening Brussels.

Didn't see that coming. Free trade bill halted in first senate reading. Obama's plans halted. TTIP is some serious shit inc secret courts that can sue soverign Govt's for 'getting in the way'... Barack Obama’s ambitions to pass sweeping new free trade agreements with Asia and Europe fell at the first hurdle on Tuesday as Senate Democrats put concerns about US manufacturing jobs ahead of arguments that the deals would boost global economic growth. A vote to push through the bill failed as 45 senators voted against it, to 52 in favor. Obama needed 60 out of the 100 votes for it to pass. Failure to secure so-called “fast track” negotiating authority from Congress leaves the president’s top legislative priority in tatters." White House officials dismissed the Senate vote against fast tracking as a “procedural snafu” but without this crucial agreement from lawmakers to give the administration negotiating freedom, it is seen as highly unlikely that international diplomats can complete either of the two giant trade deals currently in negotiation: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The Senate fast-track legislation, known as Trade Promotion Authority or TPA, was facing even tougher opposition in the US House of Representatives. Opponents have been emboldened by the growing influence of liberal senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and were joined by all but one Senate Democrat in voting against moving forward with TPA. Even Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 presidential race and historically a supporter of free trade, has been cautious amid growing concern over the effect of globalisation on middle-class jobs, warning against “trade for trade’s sake”. http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/12/obama-trans-pacific-partnership-senate-vote

That's why there's no directors cut cause it looks like there was no director. -
Sometimes when I think about the 'Labour Party' I burst out laughing.

The return of the Mac?

I'm like Rain Man at Blackjack. If you have a system at Roulette (play all night with small gain) they send fake players to fuck with you so I stopped it.

Not really sure what an average holiday is? You don't have to be a massive player to get loads of free things in Vegas...Just look the part and stay on the floor for 12hr shifts...Go and grumble to the liason every morning about summink and they give you loads of passes and comps. Get a players card from the casino.

Think if you enjoy Blackjack and Roulette, comped rooms, free food and drink Vegas is the place. Been 3 times and always came away up. Pester the liason and you can get loads out of then inc picked up at the airport etc...Burgers to die for...

They have templates for the action scenes. Hence they're all the same. -

Fuck!

Good post. In many ways it seems clear Labour didn't really know what to do with the country if it won. That is the core of it. No vision.

Ordered.

That's brilliantly written if a bit art collegey.

How does Labour get the taxi driver vote?

How do you make that out? What do you think Labour have to do?

My time in the Chipping Sodbury Labour party would come back to haunt me. I'd have to be totally sure those files have been lost. It was carnage mate, banging party workers to the dozen bedecked in my yellow and green bandana. Gosh.

This is probably the most dangerous time for the party with being shut out from the traditional vote in Scotland, being squeezed by UKIP and fleeing Lib Dems...The task seems daunting...

Everything goes through the Politburo. Mrs P is more left than me. Mum was UKIP.
