That's rather mean-spirited of you antifrank - how about giving giving himself a big pat on the back for the best party leader's speech for a generation?antifrank said:
It's one poll, in the middle of conference season. Let's have a look in a month's time.Danny565 said:Congrats to the Tories on another 5 years in government.
If David Cameron has anyone to thank for this polling bump, he might want to think about thanking Nigel Farage, who in his determination to upstage the Tory party conference ensured that quite a few more people were paying attention to it than would usually be the case.
Anyway, its double Yippee from me as it's finally time for Paddy Power to pay up, a year after I placed my bet on a Tory lead in H2 2014.
There fizzy stuff around in this part of South West London tonight, I can tell you!0 -
My primitive view of these things is that if labour languish around 33 then they are in trouble.Grandiose said:Breaking: YouGov/Sun poll tonight - Tories take narrow lead for first time since March 2012; CON 35%, LAB 34% http://bit.ly/1uh32jf

Have you considered Elba too? Is very easy to get to from Pisa- go to nearby Livorno and take an hour's ferry, you can combine it with Tuscany (Florence, Sienna, Lucca), and in May or September is better value with some good hotel deals, and of course quieter- and the weather is great then. Plus Pinosa- a nearby ex Prison island is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt Islands in the world. Crystal blue seas full of fish. And the food.....the Maremma whites that polish the fish down nicely. Take a leisurely seafood tasting lunch menu with 1.5 bottles of white (1 isn't enough) after a morning on the beach- you will never nap better and wake up so refreshed to start again in the evening. Bliss. The perfect day.
That said, Sardinia is pretty damn special- all of it, and Sicily is magical. And neither are expensive- unless you go to Porto Cervo in Sardinia which is full of the most ridiculously unstylish Ruskies.
Sod the bus passes, the politicians should have offered OAP's two weeks at an Italian seaside resort, food and drink included. Would have saved the NHS a fortune.0 -
What a bizarre anti-Tory rant on Mock the Week...Tories are like women who squat over public toilets and squirt a fine mist everywhere....where do they BBC find these hilarious comics, even the gags about Brooks Newmark were poor and that was an open goal.0

Visited customer in Palermo with Italian sales rep. Customer drove us to lunch. I looked around a street in which we were travelling and said to the customer "Isn't this a one way street?" Customer said "Sometimes my friend, sometimes......"HYUFD said:SeanT Sicily sounds a good bet then, traffic mad across Italy, certainly in Rome. My parents went to Naples a few years ago and quite enjoyed it but from the sounds of it can be more variable

Mock the Week are merciless with whoever the government are. Watch Dave and you'll see what they had to say about Brown and Blair etc.0

"all these polls suggesting that 50% of all UKIP support comes from people who have never voted in elections before may need a reassesement."
Ah well, no need for a reassessment, after all.0
