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.

Except it doesent.

In the real Big Fat Greek Bailout, no money actually changes hands in the sense that money moves around the economy.

It is simply created by magic, moved around a few computers, and suddenly the bankrupt banks are solvent again...hurrah, long live the bankers!


But in reality, this non money has to be repaid using real money, productive, taxed money, earned by real people using the sweat of their brows.


But the banks played on

Does being somewhat off the wall run in the Corbyn family. Jeremy has a fruit cake brother. He may have a first from Imperial College but his views are somewhat far out.

UK Scientist Piers Corbyn: ‘Carbon dioxide has zero effect on global warming, I repeat: zero effect, no effect whatsoever’

“I don’t believe in man-made climate change because there is no evidence for it. In fact, carbon dioxide is controlled by world temperatures rather than the other way around".

We are safe as long as we can control the truth and present it as we wish!

Has everyone gone to the moon?

The socalled nazi salutes are before adolf hitler tured into a monster; at that time : Europe in general was quite pleased about Germany rebuilding itself and there was an emphasis on scout education and the germans were all about this ; they were supposed to be setting an example of how young people should live : the Queen could not have known at that time that it was in preparation for war with all the meetings with thousands of scouts in tents with people from all over europe being invited to attend such reunions/rallies in Germany : everbody at that time thought what a good thing it was (except of course a certain Winston Churchill)....the Queen is just an innocent person caught up in a rejoicing of what was healthy outdoor living....

The Queen was doing her salute in 1933 before people knew what the Nazis were like. However, by 1938 it was clear what being a Nazi entailed.

This is a picture of the English football team in 1938

Francois Hollande Calls For Eurozone Government

French President Francois Hollande has called for the creation of a eurozone government and for people to renew their faith in the European project.

His comments, in an opinion piece in a French newspaper, revive an idea originally put forward by another Frenchman, former European Commission chief Jacques Delors.

Writing in the Journal du Dimanche newspaper, Mr Hollande proposed "a government of the eurozone (with) a specific budget as well as a parliament to ensure its democratic control".

Mr Delors' idea for closer integration caused controversy in Britain when it was proposed more than two decades ago, leading The Sun newspaper to famously declare on its front page: "Up Yours Delors".

Faith in the European project has been weakened by the Greek crisis, which has seen the country teeter on the brink of financial collapse, needing a number of bailouts to prop up its economy.

Long queues are expected outside the country's banks on Monday, when they will open for the first time in three weeks.

Ahead of talks on a third bailout for Greece, Mr Hollande called for a renewal of faith in Europe.

He said the 19 member states of the eurozone had opted to become part of the monetary union because it was in their interests and no one had "taken the responsibility of getting out of it".

"This choice calls for a strengthened organisation, an advance guard of the countries who will decide on it," he said.

Currently, eurozone members are united in an informal body, the Eurogroup.

This is made up of each country's finance minister, and is presided over by Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem.

Despite the eurozone's current troubles, Mr Hollande went on to claim in the article that "what threatens us is not an excess of Europe but its insufficiency".

He said Europe had let its institutions become weaker and admitted the European Union's 28 members were "struggling to find common ground to move forward".

"Parliaments remain too far away from decisions," Mr Hollande said.

"And people are turning away after having been bypassed so much."

The French leader said populist movements had seized upon disenchantment with European institutions and were taking issue with Europe because "they are scared of the world, because they want divisions, walls and fences to return".

Keep it up!

We went to a war thinking we had the same weapons as them. We have underestimated their power […] It’s a power that enters the very fabric of society, the way people think. It controls and blackmails. We have very few levers. The European edifice is already Kafkaesque.

Anything for a buck!

Right, Rupert, you wipe my arse and I will wipe yours.

Here's something to counteract those crap cartoons:

Getting sensitive?

where is Dickens?

Labour's David Lammy: "When I was growing up my mum relied on tax credits. Tonight in opposing the Welfare Bill I voted for millions of people who do the same".


Tax credits were introduced in 2003.

David Lammy was born in 1972.

That means Lammy was 31 when tax credits were introduced.

Hays,

How many siblings or half-siblings does he have.

Perhaps you can scrape a little more muck for Lynton to use!

Marvellous when a PR agent writes the UK's PM's speeches!

Phew. That's a relief. I thought it was me!
