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.

and "they" would only seem to need this extra dosh because "they" want to spend more and more and more when the constituent countries and economies shout otherwise

the partisan among us might comment, "just like the labour party", but more pertinent is the perpetual cauchemar that "brussels" doesn't give a toss as they are accountable to none but themselves

We have a fantastic, hard working Tory MP in our constituency. However, it is very hard to vote in support of her when all that her party offer is a Referendum (but will we ever get one?) on staying in the EU.

When I read articles like the following, I tend strongly towards wanting to vote UKIP and definitely want 'OUT of the EU' altogether. Why? Well, UKIP are currently the only party who want us 'out of the EU'.

David Cameron to challenge EU’s demand for extra £1.7bn

More ammunition for Ukip in next month's Rochester and Strood by-election
NIGEL MORRIS Author Biography DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR Thursday 23 October 2014

David Cameron is heading for a fresh showdown with Brussels after Britain was instructed to contribute another £1.7bn to the European Union budget.

The surprise demand for extra cash will fuel anger on the Conservative backbenches and will be used by Ukip as ammunition in next month's Rochester and Strood by-election.

The €2.1bn surcharge - which is due on December 1 - is being levied because the UK economy has fared more strongly than other member states since 1995.

The Prime Minister signalled his determination to challenge the extra fee. He met Mark Rutte, his Dutch counterpart, tonight during an EU leaders' summit in Brussels to discuss tactics. The Netherlands has also been told to make an extra payment to the Union's coffers.

A Downing Street source told the Financial Times: “It's not acceptable to just change the fees for previous years and demand them back at a moment's notice.”

The source added: “The European Commission was not expecting this money and does not need this money and we will work with other countries similarly affected to do all we can to challenge this.”

The surcharge has arisen from changes in the way the EU calculates member states' gross national income. According to preliminary calculations, Germany, France and Poland will all receive rebates.

Patrizio Fiorilli, a Commission spokesman, said: “Britain's contribution reflects an increase in wealth, just as in Britain you pay more to the Inland Revenue if your earnings go up.”

Mr Cameron yesterday urged his fellow leaders to resist a new request from the European Parliament's demands to increase spending across the Union.

The EU , The great leveler , or how to drag us down to third world status .

Not all, only the trogs .. the elite will do very nicely.

The future under the tories ,




Under the KIPPERs, get your blackskirts out.

Under Hazyone, Leave the country.

Under the Duvet me Fred.

Under the thumb me Fred.

Excelent cartoon by the way, best for a long time, made me laugh.

Nicked from golly's thread on afn.

What a gift to ukip.

1.7billion we have to pay the EU?????

I have the feeling that if this ISIL INVADED Brussels and formed it's caliphate or whatever, that they would have little had opposition and could have made a go of it .Is it any worse .Just jesting of course.

Anger as neurological patients told to "get better" 2 23/10/2014
Thousands of people with progressive and degenerative diseases are being denied disability benefits and being told they will "get better," charities revealed today.


Inquiries by five charities found that 35% of these patients are getting employment support allowance - but have been categorised as likely to be able to take up work.

The report has been produced by the MS Society, Parkinson's UK, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

The figures come from a response to a freedom of information request, giving the assessments for some 22,000 people.

About 20% were deemed fit for work while about a third were placed on the employment support allowance work-related activity group - suggesting that assessors believed they could eventually return to work.

Steve Ford, of Parkinson's UK, said: "These latest figures are an utter disgrace and serve to underline just how little the Government cares for those with progressive conditions, like Parkinson's.

"To set up a system which tells people who've had to give up work because of a debilitating, progressive condition that they'll recover, is humiliating and nothing short of a farce.

"These nonsensical decisions are a prime example of how benefits assessors lack even the most basic levels of understanding of the conditions they are looking at."

UKIP 13% ahead at Rochester!


When is Wavy U-bend Dave doing his tour there?
