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.

gf I do go along with your post but when do you say enough is enough
I asked this question for cynic to answer but he will not
do we allow the whole world to come and stand shoulder to shoulder and no services
and millions living on the streets which weather we like it or not it is happening

I am a pensioner and pay £4800 tax and end up no better than a couple who have never worked and paid nothing in to the system

they pay no rent no c/t no insurances .which is over £180 a week in benefits

a few facts for ever skilled worker that have come to the uk in the last 10 years
their are 17 non skilled

TANKER - 05 Nov 2014 09:39 - 49274 of 49275

gf yes and all my family .
and proud to fight for my country unlike some .
my grand daughter is in the raf just come home she was shoot in the neck but she is fine and now gone back to base . and she loves it .
only scum desert their country to get a better life instead of fighting for their country
sticking their fingers up to their fellow cousins and their old people who are to old to fight they desert them for their own ends I could never do that ..............ends hey TANKER very interesting.

What part of the forces where you in? my dad was conscripted just after the war into the Marines navy, for 3 years saw no action though. Was told he loved to come home but when he got here he always wanted to get back to Malta,and North Africa.

Was on the air craft carrier HMS OCEAN.

Used to love SPlICE THE MAINBRACE........wasnt that the daily tot of rum.

This net contribution from EU migrants doesn't tell the real story. The migrants are often taking jobs that UK people could do. That is a net loss due to benefits paid out to the UK unemployed. It also doesn't take into consideration the knock on effects to infrastructure such as health and education, areas where there are shortages.

Slow down a bit TANKER I cant keep with you.

all my family RAF

GF WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER WHEN DO WE SY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

MrT .... why do you have to mention your poxy service record and that of your (grand)daughters almost every single day ...... it's awfully boring after the 12 time of telling

anyway, who actually cares whether she/they work in the armed forces or, for that matter, for a stockbroker in the city?
the guy in the city is probably in more danger of being run over by a bus or a taxi than your (grand)daughters getting wounded in action

cynic . gf ask the question you sad moron .
like everthing you do you avoid answering a question
when do we say we can take no more immigrants .

perhaps it is because I am proud to fight for my country
like buying a poppy and donating money to those that need help

I see that the newspapers have published some crap about how good letting in loads of migrants has been for Britain.....how they pay lots of taxes and contribute to the UK economy !.....really ???....well......some immigrants ...yes .....but not that illegal lot in Calais....that sort will just turn the UK into a dump......if I go that way and they cross the road : I'm going to have a job not running them over !...

Hey Cyners cool it mate, Im interested in history like TANKERS family I find it very interesting and relaxing compared to the normal stuff on here. I think also you should give
Members of the forces a lot of respect.

Maybe its just the way I was brought up with my dad being in the marines but we were always taught to respect people in the forces.

TANKER slow down bud,

when is enough enough?.......right good point made by RF above. They knicked all my stone flags 9 months ago during the night and druged the dogs.

Right Im going to have a ten minutes break TANKER and think about this deeply.

Ill get back to you, dont go away.

The Senate has gone to the Republicans. That means Obama cannot get any legislation passed for the next two years as he has lost control of both houses. Let this be a warning to us about a second elected chamber. The US now has a weak, lame duck President.

The second chamber is meant to keep the first in check.

O'bammy has made such a fist of it, nobody wants to support him.

it happens that poppy day, raf benevolent fund, lifeboats and air ambulance are on my hotlist of charities that i support well - as is st mungo's

on our cycling trips to france, we also invariably stop off at various war cemetries, and a few years ago i also visited dachau (very cathartic)

it also happens that i was honoured to play golf a few weeks ago with the chaps from headley court and their american counterparts

however, i don't drone on about it endlessly or even at all, nor similarly that my dad was in the merchant during the war and my uncle in tanks in north africa nor my relatives that died in concentration camps nor a couple that miraculously escaped

todays report on immigration no mention on the services under pressure for the locals who are suffering and can not even get to se their doctor for over two weeks
the report is crap how can they report facts when their are over 4 million illegal
immigrants in the uk were they do not even no were they are
total load of bollocks the whole report and the report leaders are all immigrants them selves it stinks of corruption and lies .
have they found out were all these illegals work and pay taxes because if they have then the companies they are working for are breaking the law

It's pretty obvious that for all the liberty that the USA represents : their political system with Senate....senators....etc....is far from perfect and that our British electoral system is far better.....(blimey....we are better at something).....

cynic you should be proud of you family them .those that died for the good should never be forgotten , and our children should never forget what they died for and the only way to do that is to talk and remind them of their short lives
