    Bit of a problem for anyone thinking of espousing non-tory views, that. If you’re less well-off you’re indulging in ‘the politics of envy’, and if you have any more you’re a ‘Champagne Socialist’. I don’t know about unelectable, but it certainly seems you can”t win.. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I doubt that is any worse than Tory voters being referred to as nasty, and even evil. In the wake of the humiliating GE defeat, I saw some truly nasty rhetoric coming from Labour supporters.

    Frankly I hope the Tories do put Boris up front, that will immediately make Labour very much the first choice for many “floating” voters.

    He is very popular with younger people, and I suspect poses a danger to Labour in that regard. Next to Boris, Corbyn looks and sounds like any other stereotypical Westminster politician. Of course, it is all for show. Underneath Boris is every bit as ruthless as any other front bench politician. He has mastered his public persona.

    Absolutely – I don’t for a moment believe Labour will win with him in charge – he doesn’t strike me as Leadership material, but then neither does George Osborne, who looks like he will be the other contender.

    I find it unlikely that Labour will win, regardless of who they choose. Given that the Tories have such an advantage over Labour, and Scotland is now effectively lost to countrywide parties, we will most likely be looking at a Tory government of some kind.

    I’m with Moggy, while Tory voters may consider Osbourne to be good/great for the economy, I think he suffers from a little of the awkwardness that destroyed Miliband. Boris is a sure fire vote winner for them, and his joyful faรงade combined with his razor sharp wit would make Corbyn look like a dinosaur in parliament.

    CGI is much like computer games. They often look great when they come out, but after a while they age. I fear that CGI will ruin projects like Peter Jacksons Dambusters and The Mighty Eighth.

    I loved the old colour scheme on the B25 ๐Ÿ™ Then new one is so drab…

    THe F15 does indeed look fantastic, will it be having its undercarriage retracted?

    now if other Countries in the EU decide to let them in then fairplay to them.

    Not quite. Once they become German citizens, they are free to come and live here. I’m sure that fact is not lost on them.

    Quite so – Germany is now estimating 800,000 asylum seekers this year. Our problems rather pale into insignificance beside those…..

    The difference is, the Germans have room for them. Our population density is already far too high, and that isn’t allowing for future population growth.
