Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

if a english man went to pakistan india saudi and spoke like immigrants did in the uk they would be killed

what absolute rubbish! ...... it happens that english is pretty much the lingua franca in all those countries mentioned

Tanker,

If so, setting, or encouraging similar standards here, does not help to modify their actions.

Also, reflections :-

cynic you must not get out much i do and meet hundreds of people and can say
they are worse than my views .
I will never change my views VOTE UKIP CLOSE THE BORDERS AND IF IT COSTS JOBS SO BE IT . if they do not want to live like the brittish then leave the uk

I agree with your point, anyone who doesn't like British style of life should leave the UK and go wherever they like the most. WHY ARE THEY STAYING HERE?

No offense, but they will be happy, Britons will be happier too.

There should be a pan-UK strategy to combat problem drinking - including a 50p minimum price for a unit of alcohol, experts say.

The call by a coalition of 70 health groups and campaigners comes as different approaches are being pursued in the UK.

Their report also called for a ban on advertising and tough rules on sales.

Industry said measures should target people who needed help, not everyone who enjoyed a drink.

Devolution has meant different strategies have been developing to tackle rising rates of problem drinking.

In Scotland a 50p price is set to be introduced, while a 45p threshold has been proposed for England and Wales.

Northern Ireland is yet to put forward a specific proposal, although it is reviewing pricing.
they should put a tax of 100% on takeaway meals that are killing people
the food is full of salt and fat drink is not as bad as takeaways

MrT - my comment related to your post 21940 ..... with regards to your other stuff, most of that is populist nonsense or even outright rubbish ..... but if you want to swallow it all and then vote accordingly, that is up to you ..... certainly far better that Supine Fred's attitude of "spout plenty; do nowt"

The Trades Union and Socialist Coalition party got 62 votes. That was worse than the Elvis loves pets party at 72. it looks like Trades Unions and Socialists are not too popular these days.

The beer, baccy and crumpet party got 235 votes.

Cameron's response to the "local" election reminds me of this:

'Forward, the tory brigade!'
Was there a MP dismay'd ?
Not tho' the voter knew
Cameron had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & cry,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the tory three hundred.


Death to the right of them.

Death to the left of them.

Forward they cried.


Edit and death they left behind them!

What is the British style of life?

freedom of speech and not peddle religion .
keep the views on god to your self
and any one who uses the race card should leave the country

any one who uses the race card should leave the country
that HAS to include you then

cynic it people like you that are the problem blind and stupid

because i'm immigrant stock or what?

Most people in the UK are immigrant stock if you go back far enough.

i just await MrT's answer and shall no doubt respond accordingly

Cynic,

Are you playing the race card?

I think Tanker is just saying in his own way that he thinks you are as thick as he is on various issues.

Hope that helps.

Just to cheer Cynic up.

I think the acid test is this............if you come into this country as an imigrant you have to follow and swear alegance to the English cricket team. Better still join up with the Barmy Army.

Too many asians born here aswel who want it both ways. Support their country of historical origin and yes against our boys but at same time want all the freebies we have to offer.

You cant have both ways, your either English or your not English, and if your not english.....goodbye.

i shall wait and see what he says ....... quite how he can align his frequently statements that all immigrants are spongers etc etc and should be sent home, let alone various pejorative and worse comments about moslems, blacks and asians with not "playing the racist card", will be fascinating
