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.

FT says absolutely correctly .....
Block Juncker to save European democracy
You end up with the absurd situation in which voters are said to have ‘chosen’ a leader they have never heard of
and of course that is one of the major problems with the eu parliament and commission .... it is correctly (i think) seen as a bloated, self-serving gravy train with no accountability to the electorate whatsoever - except of course, these top geezers were never elected to their posts other than by their peers

Thats exactly what Farage was saying in his "we didn't elect you we don't want you " speech to Van Rompuy . . I had to go and check his name because i don't know any of them as i don't think any of us do..

the european commission should mind its own f'ing business with regards to uk's domestic affairs and pay considerably more attention to the blatant extravagance, fraud and corruption in its own ranks

Why does this cartoon remind me of Manuel.
Manuel,
Talking about Sangatte,
Why and how did some of your ancestors get into the UK?
It seems like some like drawing the draw bridge when they are safe!

Morning cynic, Kings Links down at the beach. It's a municipal course, three clubs play on it, Bon Accord, Northern and I'm a member of the Caledonian. The course not up to the standard of Royal Aberdeen obviously but a good challenge of the whites.

I'm sure Roger Helmer would know all about that - his wife married a walrus.

amazingly fred, when my grandparents came over, the local jewish communities looked after their own, and of course there was no benefits systems in early 20th century
for jews who fled the nazis during the war, though they were assuredly political rather than economic refugees, their sponsors had to put up a bond or similar to guarantee that they would not be drain on the state
rather different from today's scenario don't you think?

David Cameron was told to tear up his economic policy by Brussels yesterday, hours after being warned by Angela Merkel that Britain faced being ignored over who should become President of the European Commission. The Prime Minister faced a double reminder of the difficulties in store on the eve of a critical G7 summit and urgent talks with the German Chancellor. – The Times
