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.

Thousands? Britain should prepare to accept quarter of a MILLION refugees, says Green leader Natalie Bennett

Green party leader says Britain needs to take 1 in 8 of 2million refugees

The biggest problem with these so-called refugees is that they will not adapt to western culture...will they drop their scarves.. robes etc.. and become anglicans, catholics ?...of course not....I have nothing against muslims but we don't want to see Britain turned into a muslim country....these migrants are bad news...big trouble ..and they breed like rabbits.......we should stop them from approaching the EU....easy to say,... difficult to do...

Another problem is that our politicians can't say or do what they want to say or what they really want to do...because they would be hailed or deemed as racists....Britain has become too much a do-gooder society....

Your right rf and as i said before on here wait until Germany give a million of them EU passports then they are free to roam Europe and settle where they want ,we will be taking a lot more than we think .

That's where you need someone brave with balls , we could do with a Maggie Thatcher right now.

Germany is taking 880,000 this year.

You can bet a fair amount of those will end up here eventually.

Why not 880,001 including Fred. :-))

YOU HAVE TO LAUGH! :0)

Ed Miliband expected to quit front-line politics

HAVE YOUR SAY
FORMER Labour leader Ed Miliband is expected to announce his retirement from front-line politics amid speculation that hard-left leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn wants him to serve in his shadow cabinet.

The reports came as Mr Corbyn’s rival Yvette Cooper issued a stark warning over the party’s potential lurch to the left, claiming that, like in the 1980s, it would be used by the Tories to push through much more right-wing policies.



Speaking to Huffington Post, Ms Cooper, who is backed by former prime minister Gordon Brown, also said she could still pull off a surprise victory against Mr Corbyn.


And she confirmed she would not serve under Mr Corbyn in his shadow cabinet if he wins.

Blairite leadership rival Liz Kendall, who also said she would refuse to serve under a Corbyn leadership, issued a stark warning yesterday that Labour faced being “wiped out” if it moved dramatically to the left.

According to reports, Mr Miliband, who led the party to a dismal defeat in May which saw them lose 40 of their 41 Scottish seats, will also decline to serve under Mr Corbyn.

It is understood Mr Miliband has told friends he “wants a break” from national politics but also wants to focus on campaigning against inequality.

However, the report has been denied by one source who insisted it was just “speculation”.

Mr Corbyn’s inner circle had hoped that if the former Labour leader joined the shadow cabinet it would provide some assurance for those concerned by a potential lurch to the left.

With the result due next Saturday, Ms Cooper has enjoyed a late surge in support after leading the attack on the Conservative government’s slow response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

Speaking yesterday, she warned of the damage caused by a left-wing leadership of the Labour Party, evoking the memory of Margaret Thatcher.

She said: “What happened in the 1980s made it possible for the Tories to become more right-wing, made it possible for Margaret Thatcher to take a harder line because the Labour party wasn’t as a credible threat, a credible alternative. It’s about making it harder for us to defeat them. It’s divided parties, people don’t want a party fighting among itself.”

And she also warned that people should not bank on a Corbyn victory or one by his main rival, shadow health secretary Andy Burnham.

She said: “I think there’s a huge number of people who haven’t voted yet. Some of that is delayed ballots, some of that is people being on holiday, some of that is people wanting to take time to get it right,”

“And I think that is a good thing. It also fits with what I’m saying, which is we’ve got to get this right because this is really important. The whole point of the Labour Party when we were first founded was to put principles into practice.

“If we don’t do that, we stop being the Labour Party, we just become a protest movement.”

She also appealed to the party not to embrace Mr Corbyn’s 
anti-military pacifism.

She said: “You always have to work for peace, but sometimes you have to fight for justice.

“And sometimes you have to be prepared to. We were absolutely right to intervene in Kosovo. I also still think it was the right thing to do to stop what was happening in Benghazi [in Libya] and the huge humanitarian crisis that there would have been, even though the follow-on consequences have been really difficult. There’s a big challenge about what should have been done in the aftermath.”

probably to be appointed as the ailing UN's director of Climate Change.

Well it's one sure way to have a Climate change calamity. (It certainly won't happen naturally)

So much for " wanting to serve his fellow man and woman" and helping to lift the poor and needy out of poverty. If I can't be "the leader I don't want to play" should be the motto of the Milibands. Like all good Marxists our Ed used the poor and needy as his ladder to possible success. When they are rejected by the electorate they stamp their feet and accuse the rest of us of not understanding the situation, when actual in fact we have understood them absolutely.

Red Ed is just following in his brother's footsteps because once rejected these "champions of the poor and needy" rush straight into the arms of the
wealthy industrialist and bankers and the "poor and needy" can look after themselves.

Red Ed was never a true representative of the working class, any more than Sturgeon or Salmond are. The "masses" are merely a means to an end but once they are rumbled they don't give a damn about "the workers" and are off looking for "the money" - money that they told us, was not everything.

May all the hypocritical "Marxists" be rumbled as was good old "Red Ed".

Lord Ed of La-La Land.

Nice ring to that.

There is an interesting article on Yvette Cooper (pure propaganda, but, hey, that's New Labour UK PLC politics for you) where she says 'I feel I am too English to campaign!' I find this statement alone, for a woman born in Scotland, rather telling. Not even Better Together 'British' but too English… Bitter together more like it.


Miliband........ The numpty who said that he'd put border guards along England's northern border to keep the Scots out......... What a complete fanndango.
I'm sure that he'll be a great success in his next chosen career....... So long as he chooses to work as an extra in the next "Wallace & Gromit" movie.

YES SCOTLAND

Test

Dreamcatcher , i'll take the 880 000 and send Fred to Syria .

Suits me just fine jb, lol

So glad I came to live in Spain - plenty of sunshine, cheap beer, my UK state pension
pays for my rent and leaves me enough for food etc. I hardly touch my cash savings
and have not started drawing my private pension. ....

Plus have met a beautiful Philippino lady. I don't need a car, and go out most days for a
dance or other entertainment. Why stay in the UK ? Plenty of Brits enjoying life here
in Benidorm. Where I live is almost an english speaking colony with UK newspapers,
Iceland shop, many other supermarkets, bars called "Rovers Return, Morgans Tavern, Vincent's, Yorkshire Pride etc" and free good health care in association with the NHS.
Benidorm has beautiful long beaches, and is not as brash as they like to show in the
TV series etc. Plenty of vacant apartments for rent at about Euro 400 a month. Even
a few millionaires living nearby who own the numerous four star hotels. I can deal in UK shares by internetand have online banking etc.

Why live in the UK ? - maybe if you want to be close to your family, but the flight is
only about Euro 120 each way, and they would probably be more happy to visit you
here. I went swimming again today.

Is anyone surprised?

For Jb.

Has anyone checked up on Merkels sanity lately , all these refugees and propping up Greece seem to be mainly her influence . Maybe things will change in Germany in a few months when it's people start seeing the effects of her actions . Just another point though , because they are refugees does it mean it is a temporary situation and would be expected to return to their country later . I'm sure someone knows.

Which group shall we allow to dirty English soil?

I suppose that could be just about any Country on the Planet Fred .
