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.

Maybe if there were Italian gunships in the med stopping them coming over , maybe they wouldn't drown in an over laden ship . Maybe IF the African authorities stopped them from sailing to their DEATHS . Or are they just glad to see the back of them. Dumped on Europe then its our problem our cost etc.

The places they are coming from are war zones. It wouldn't be possible to return them.

The numbers coming to Europe is very small in the scheme of things. The population of Europe is around 750 million and there are a few thousand refugees.

Surely that would be a waste of a good gunship? If you're gonna send a gunship to sea in the first instance, wouldn't it be far better just to kill them all? It's not as though the migrants are armed and can fight back, so it's a low-risk strategy.

Who's talking about killing them , I said if they don't get on the boats in the first place they won't drown will they. So why is the Pope so concerned if there are only a few thousand refugees.

Why does it matter what the Pope thinks or says. Why not take some notice of the head of a group that believes the Earth is flat or worships fairies. There is far too much notice taken of groups who try and contact extra terrestrial beings and think they are being watched over by them. Delusional groups should have no influence in public affairs.

Naggy .

Yes they are.

I didn't mention the Lib/dems , Haystack.

NEW compulsory ID cards for northerners will allow the government to track their movements.

A growing north-south divide has seen immigrants from as far afield as Rotherham and Burnley heading south in search of work, housing and free health care.

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said: “These people need to know that NHS does not stand for Northern Health Service.

“Northerners may still travel freely in the South, but must maintain their accents at all time and not offer anyone a ‘barm cake’.”

‘Up North’ to become a single constituency, vows Cameron

RADICAL boundary changes by the Conservative party will make it mathematically impossible for Labour to win an election, it has emerged.

Under David Cameron’s proposed new constituency boundaries, Up North – which includes traditional Labour strongholds Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle – will elect a single MP.

Meanwhile David Cameron’s home town of Chipping Norton would be split into 27 constituencies, three of them representing areas of Cameron’s house.

Cameron said: “The needs of my bathroom are very different to those of my kitchen or spare room, and I am delighted our electoral system will now recognise those differences.

“Northerners however all share the common life goals of having sex in car parks and acquiring fried meat in cardboard buckets, so there is less need for detailed administration in their foggy, marsh-like region.”

The Prime Minister has promised that the 2015 election will be a more spectacular affair, with polling stations moving from primary schools to more impressive locations such as golf clubs and opera houses.

He also plans to introduce a ‘two names two votes’ policy under which anyone with a double-barrelled surname may legally vote twice.

The logistics of the election would also change, with responsibility for the ballot passing to private firm Optimum Democracy.

An Optimum spokesman explained: “Voters can buy the Premium Ballot Paper, which will list all the candidates, or stick with the Free and Easy option, which will only show the party that won the previous election.”

Your not the Pope are you .

Sturgeon unveils manifesto for undiscovered planets



NP leader Nicola Sturgeon has set out her plans for the entire universe.

Sturgeon pledged to bring ‘core Scottish values’ to undiscovered planets, millions of light years away, as she unveiled the SNP manifesto. This is Who the Fuck We Think We Are.

She said: “We remain focused on achieving independence for the Solar System, but we believe a Scottish-led Solar System can be a force for good throughout the cosmos.

“Let’s imagine a planet that I call ‘Zartax 5′. For too long the working class, blue-skinned creatures of Zartax 5 have been exploited by the lazy, green-skinned bankers of Zartax 4, sipping Ultra-Champagne in their shiny, spherical mansions.

“It’s time to disable the warp drive on the Zartax 4 gravy spaceship.”

The Scottish first minister pledged to create a vast, intergalactic government that would share the natural resources of the bright orange moons, rich in a substance she will name ‘murrellium’.

Sturgeon also dismissed comparisons to Kathryn Janeway, from Star Trek: Voyager, adding: “In Voyager, Janeway was just a captain and, as you can see, I am wearing my Star Trek admiral’s uniform.”

lol @ Haystack...good ones!

"There is far too much notice taken of groups who try and contact extra terrestrial beings and think they are being watched over by them. Delusional groups should have no influence in public affairs."

I thought you belonged to one of the groups you referred to.

Perhaps, you are a representative of yourself.

But aren't the tory and kipper parties frightened of Sturgeon and SNP who represents Scotland, and aren't A.L.s like themselves.

But she certainly seems sensible and has sensible approach to grown up politics.

--------

Cameron, is like a dung beetle in comparison, open to the "best" offer!

I wish her well.

Tories still ahead of Labour in latest Guardian/ICM poll

The Conservatives remain ahead of Labour in the latest Guardian/ICM general election campaign poll – by a narrow margin.

The Tories are on 34%, down from 39% in the same poll last week, but still two points clear of Labour, which slips back one percentage point to 32%.

Ukip climbs back four points from a miserable score last time, to reach 11%. That puts them just ahead of the Liberal Democrats, who recover two to reach 10%. The Greens are on 5%.

Despite the Conservatives campaigning aggressively around the prospect of Labour gaining power with the help of the SNP, the poll suggests there is only slightly less support for this than a replay of the Tory-Lib Dem coalition.

The detail of the latest poll, which was conducted between Friday afternoon and Sunday and followed most of the manifesto launches, underlines how the race for No 10 is on a knife-edge.

Are the Northern Conservatories included in that . By gum.

There was a young man named Gordon who bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

When the farmer drove up the next day he says, "I am sorry but I have some bad news - the donkey is on my truck but he's dead!"

Gordon replied, "Well then, just give me my money back".

"I can't do that" replied the farmer, "I went out and spent it already."

Gordon said "Ok just unload the donkey anyway".

The farmer asked "What are you gonna do with a dead donkey?"

"I'll raffle him off" said Gordon.

The farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

But Gordon with a big smile on his face said, "Sure I can. Watch. Just don't tell anyone the donkey is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, "What happened to the dead donkey?"

Gordon said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at £2.00 each and made a huge profit."

Totally amazed the farmer asked "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?"

To which Gordon replied, "The only one who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his £2.00 back plus £200.00 extra which is double the going value of a dead donkey so he thought I was a great guy."

Gordon grew up and eventually became Chancellor of the Exchequer and no matter how many times he lied or how much money he stole from the British voters, as long as he gave them back some of the stolen money, some of them thought he was a great guy.

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down!

We hate Cockneys!!

Southern Poofters with Piss For Ale! :0)
