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.

Perhaps Boris will drive around in one of those military jeeps with a MP helmet on...intervening in pub brawls......

Yep I hear a lots coming from Europe. Private individuals.

I take it that means here as one. Off shore accounts.

Lets get hold of them.

Ein Hundreb bombs zur Berlin....zehn hundred bombs zur London....Fred....

FRED, im sorry but this time you are wrong.

Look at the photos these murdering bast-rds have taken, for them its just fun.

Boris....screeching sound of brakes as Boris arrives at pub brawl.....
I say...you two young chaps...stop that fighting and pulling each others hair like that and buy me a pint....
Oh...you're not young conservatives at all...you're of the female species...oh dear...that's more difficult...I shall have to delegate ....Ken !...come over here...(calling political mate over)...now you have a knack for the salt of the earth talk : you sort this this out...I'm off.....noise of jeep dashing off to the next punch-up.....

GF.

I can't see a lot of difference between having child's head cut off and a child dying of malaria, TB or starvation.

The latter are not splattered across the paper headlines as frequently.

None are acceptable, but accepted they must be.

The problem is how to remedy the problem without increasing it.

Retribution, revenge may be sweet but it often ends up being a bitter pill.

Not decrying the use of force and I agree with Obama, but as we see with the results of Blair and Bush "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread."

Intervention is necessary, but not simple USA, or depleted forces of UK but with the "authority of the "Free" World.

Otherwise we will be stoking up future problems for the West and ourselves.

There is a bigger and bigger division between the west and the third world....and as we progress (if you can call it that).... the wider this will get....one of the dangers is that sophisticated weapons are now finding their way into the hands of people that shouldn't have them.....one person armed with a stinger style missile is now able to bring an aircraft down ....this was unthinkable thirty or so years ago....what will happen in twenty to thirty years time perhaps even sooner as arms get more and more dangerous and end up in the wrong hands ?.....we are heading for a total disaster for civilian aircraft in the future !....
It used to be....a bow and arrow.....folllowed by a gun that could kill many.....now a portable missile can kill hundreds....what's next ?....if the trend continues...one person can do a lot of damage !....is this the end of humanity as we know it ?...

Anyhow, a new 72 hour truce has been agreed for a few hours or so.

Let's see what happens.

1. Hamas will re-stock the rocket pile.
2. Israel will...... Hmmm? I'm not sure really.

extraodinary

cynic

Fred wouldn't make a good doctor

But he need's to see one

no difference between premeditated murder and death by natural causes .... an interesting defense that probably would not stand up in court!

Don't forget that Boris has already been an MP for 8 years. He was MP for a constituency near cynic. He was a shadow minister under Cameron. He was also a shadow minister under Michael Howard.

Thanks for reminding us Haystack.

Boris is one of the in-crowd, along with Cameroon, Millibandus and Cleggy.


None of them are worth a toss, you may as well not vote for all the difference it will make to policy.

Yep had to read it twice myself cynic , bit like saying I can't see the difference between my kid gets an abscess and its tooth has to be removed or I just smack it in the mouth and save the dentist a few minutes of his time.

Depends on if it is a court of morals or a judicial court.

oh dear .... the boy's off on one of his silly treks yet again

EU Chief: Our Work Should Not be Transparent

by Oliver Lane 9 Aug 2014

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/08/09/Invasion-of-EU-Technocrats

Edit: picture too big


In what might be considered a major gaffe, the European Union’s (EU) chief scientific adviser Anne Glover has just insisted her work should be “not transparent” and should be kept out of the public eye.

Her advice to the Commission chief is often on controversial topics such as global warming, genetically modified crops and nuclear power. You might assume these are important issues that deserve scrutiny, but the EU and Dr. Glover clearly disagree.

Technocracy is government by unelected so-called “experts”. As practised by the EU, technocracy is even less appealing than the absurd, undemocratic concept of a parliament with no power being dictated to by an elite, unbelted EU Commission.

In 2011, when the European Union suggested a rescue package for Greece’s debt-ridden economy, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou announced a surprise referendum over the terms. The so-called “Troika” (The EU, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) was so alarmed that they deposed Papandreou and replaced him with the unelected Lucas Papademas. Instead of the Greek people being given a vote, they were now ruled by an entire cabinet of unelected technocrats.

The same thing also happened in Italy in 2011 when the EU thought democracy in Italy wasn’t producing the right results from their point of view. So the EU ousted elected Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and parachuted in a government of Eurocrat placemen. Although it would seem hard to believe of Europe in the 21st century, a ‘quisling’ government of unelected ‘experts’ was forced upon the country. No doubt the grey old men - most of them academics - felt distinctly patrician and noble in helping Italy out by allowing it to be led by so revered a Eurocrat as Commissioner Mario Monti. But the problem with unelected technocrats is, without an electorate to hold them to account, they very quickly get into bad habits.

It isn't entirely surprising that attitudes such as Dr. Glover's prevail at the top of the EU. As an institution it is instinctively secretive and untrusting. Her insistence that involving the public debases her work is snobbish elitism at its worst.

The European Union does its dirty work behind closed doors and holds ordinary people in contempt. It is not above imposing governments on member countries – governments no one ever voted for. It’s worse than the feudal system, which is why we treat Boris Johnson’s determination to forge ahead with attempting renegotiation as so inexplicable – apart from being the start of his bid for the leadership of the Conservative Party, of course.

The UK ended slavery and abolished the Corn Laws in the 19th century. The Tory party tore itself apart in doing so; but it was right and good. The UK sacrificed its Empire for European freedom and was at the heart of the white-heat of technology in the 20th century.

You could argue the UK has been the most successful force for freedom in the history of man. Now in the 21st century, it’s our time to shine again. How anyone can possibly hope to fix something so utterly broken is astounding. We must Get Britain Out and lead by example from the outside.

Did Manuel write that?
