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.

I would suggest those who iconise Farage should perhaps view :

USA TODAY
World Health Organization Director-General Margaret Chan issued a statement Monday at a conference in Manila.
She said development of a vaccine or cure for Ebola has lagged because the virus is prevalent in such poor nations.
"The outbreak spotlights the dangers of the world's growing social and economic inequalities," Chan said. "The rich get the best care. The poor are left to die."
She said the outbreak is disrupting economies and societies around the world. She said 90% of economic costs of any outbreak "come from irrational and disorganized efforts of the public to avoid infection."
Adequately educating the public should allow governments to curb those disruptions, Chan said. Fear, she said, spreads faster than any virus.
"I have never before seen a health event attract such a high level of
international media coverage, day after day after day," Chan said. "I have never seen a health event strike such fear and terror, well beyond the affected countries."

I'm sure Margaret Chan is well protected from a chance encounter with ebola carrying victims.
No so the rest of us.
Why are they still allowing air travel from infected areas?

It's amazing the number of 'educated' people who don't seem to understand that cynic.

Haystack - "Cameron did promise a referendum".... Read the small print and you'll find that he's promised an in, out referendum if the conservatives reach a MAJORITY in the GE.... Now what are the chances of the Conservatives getting a majority I wonder...

Yes. Cameron has promised an In / Out referendum if the Conservatives get a majority. There is no other basis that he could promise it. In a coalition he would be tied to the views of his partner.

why do immigrants not fight for a better life in their own country and make their country better . the answer is very simple they like to beg and live on benefits
and that is fact if ever one did what they did their would be nothing .
stand and fight for your own country and make it better and stronger

People have forgotten that UKIP has had an MP before. Bob Spink defected from the Conservatives in 2008. This was hailed as the start of a surge of support for UKIP. He then lost his seat in the 2010 election.

You are more likely to die of Ebola and it doesn't seem to need a vector like Malaria.
