THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Well I never!

“To say that we are immune to what’s going on in the rest of the world isn’t right,”


I thought Georgie boy was a miracle worker.

Corbyn needs more than 50% of first preferences to win. No one who votes for the other three is going to put Corbyn down as a second preference. That means as the lower two get knocked out and their second preference are distributed Corbyn wil be stuck on his percentage. Finally there will be just one opponent who will have acquired enough second order preferences to put him/her over the 50%.

My son plays in a brass band and they were having elections. The chairperson wanted transferrable voting as above. She is a hard left activist and the rest of the band could not be bothered to argue with her. My son came up with a brilliant strategy to change it to first past the post as everybody really wanted. He spoke to all the members and persuaded them to make no second preferences. In a stroke the election had become first past the post.

that's called rigging!

Haystack - 10 Sep 2015 15:39 - 62653 of 81564

No it's not they were free to vote second preferences. It is like people campaigning for peoples second preference.

A man has been arrested in Sweden for driving a lawnmower while drunk in his own garden.

Why do immigrants want to go there?

cynic - 10 Sep 2015 17:38 - 62655 of 81564

great welfare state, especially if you aren't a taxpayer!

Fred1new - 10 Sep 2015 17:39 - 62656 of 81564

To avoid you?

This idea of taking asylum seekers direct from Syria is all very well and sounds fine.

But what happens when the hoard in say, Germany, who decide the benefits aint up to scratch and want to come here, whats to prevent them?

cynic - 10 Sep 2015 19:52 - 62658 of 81564

indeed, and once they have their proper papers there's nothing to be done to stop them

jimmy b - 10 Sep 2015 20:07 - 62659 of 81564

I think if you claim asylum in a country it takes quite a while to get citizenship/ passport etc ,although i did point this out the other day when they are settled then yes they are EU citizens .
I havn't joined in with this today as i just can't be bothered with the do gooders calling anyone who does not agree with them BNP or EDL or little Englanders ,it's pathetic.

MaxK - 10 Sep 2015 20:29 - 62660 of 81564

So, Cameroons show of force is a sham, a pretence to gull the populace into thinking he has control of the situation.


Now why did I suspect there might be a flaw in the projected outcome as outlined by the flim-flam man?

aldwickk - 10 Sep 2015 20:58 - 62661 of 81564

It's all bad news , but not for UKIP . if we had a General election tomorrow UKIP would be sharing power with the tory's

Haystack - 10 Sep 2015 21:05 - 62662 of 81564

Merkel has said that if it is found that the immigrants are economic migrants rather than fleeing from conflict then they will be sent back.

jimmy b - 10 Sep 2015 22:47 - 62663 of 81564

Look at Newsnight tonight ,look at what's happening in the Yemen ,where does it end ? we will have to rescue half of the Middle East.

Hays how will she do that it will be too late when they are there .

Haystack - 10 Sep 2015 23:16 - 62664 of 81564

We have sent back quite a few over the last year whose asylum claims have been rejected

MaxK - 10 Sep 2015 23:24 - 62665 of 81564

A tiny percentage, joke shop stuff.

The fact of the matter is, there are so many avenues to go down where immigration law is concerned, the main aim is to be present on the soil you wish to settle on, and failing that, next door.

It's not by chance, it is by design.

Dil - 11 Sep 2015 00:55 - 62666 of 81564

No problem with immigrants/refugees but then 20 years down the road they want the laws changed to accommodate their beliefs / dress code , blah blah blah.

Sod that , you don't like it here then bugger off back.

Most are economic migrants from Syria and be should be shipped back or better still the millions we have pledged to help them would be better spent blockading the ports they are leaving from.

US are very quiet and they caused the problem.

Dil - 11 Sep 2015 00:58 - 62667 of 81564

... and as for Corbyn , makes Michael Foote look right wing and electable.

He'll be the end of the Labour party.

Dil - 11 Sep 2015 01:04 - 62668 of 81564

Only good thing that has happened since Cameron won the election in May is his the chance of him getting a yes vote for us to stay in the EU have nose-dived.

Don't know what Corbyn's views on the EU are but probably wants us out to join a new economic trading coalition with China and Russia.

Thank fe*k he'll never have the chance.

VICTIM - 11 Sep 2015 07:21 - 62669 of 81564

jimmy b you are not a racist you are someone that gives a dam about this Nation and it's people and the people who fought and died to keep it free . But unfortunatley due to now outdated laws of all sorts that don't fit in with the modern world ie mass movement con artist's freeloaders people traffickers low lifes ETC . It's kicking off big time because of do gooders ETC . You like me are sick and tired of this constant barage of the Briish are anti this that and everything . They have to start looking at ways to protect this Nation not line the pockets of endless Lawyers Barristers and all . The sooner they learn to leave these countries sort their own problems the better .
