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.

Don't worry, Big Dave has it all in hand.

No Max she would have a lot more sorted than Dave , Merkel wouldn't be telling her what to do that's for sure .

as i said about fred a couple of posts back ..... plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

She had other peoples' guts on her hands, not her own.

But, some like a brawn without brains.


"While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind."



Every time the UK goes into a military operation I would like to see half the cabinet and the eldest members of their families in the front line.

It is easy to sacrifice others for your needs and cleanse oneself with a "celebration", eulogy and orbitary and then forget.

Manuel,

I am not your Shaman or Mentor.

You couldn't afford me.

=-=-=-=

Try thinking a little for yourself rather than trotting out self-held "beliefs".

fred - you are such a sanctimonious and supercilious little maggot

on the one hand, you quote kipling and write
" eulogy and obituary and then forget"
but then tacitly support corbyn's refusal to honour the dead of all conflicts on remembrance sunday

I don't know why you answer him any more ,i think most have him squelched .

you're right jimmy, but most of the time i manage to just ignore him

Corbyn said,

"I'm not sure what there is to commemorate about the First World War."

He fails to realise that is not to commemorate but it is remembrance. I can't imagine anyone commemorates WWI.

just as an aside about WW1 dead ......

i recently received my old school mag in which was a list of all those who died in 1915 alone ......
there were 176 of them, ranging in age from 18 to 50 .....
overall, the school lost 700 in WW1
at the time, the school had a total "population" of perhaps 650

Hays,

Bullshit as usual.


0-0-0-0-

Pop off to Tory PHQ and get the next mantra.

Manuel,

I see you have added "telepathy" to your unending talents.

I see Cameron is getting ready for the next U-turn on Syria and the EU.

-==-=-=

Osborne is laying down the rules for the EU kicking the UK out.

-=-=-=-=-===

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Wake up boy!

Your time might be up!

What U-turn is that Fred?

Syria and Cameron preparing to get out of the EU.

Check the media.

"Commons committee warns David Cameron against Syria vote"


Watch and Wait.

Don't rely on his lips.

aid for syrian refugees
heaven forbid that the mail should ever be accused of being sensationalist, but i just saw today's headline saying that UNHCR and similar had wasted about 50% of the money given to this cause on PR, admin and other nonsense

at least i know that the bit we gave was spent 100% on clothing and toys and was distributed by hand and on the spot in lesbos ...... even the flight tickets were donated

Nigel Farage: 'Old Labour' voters 'appalled' by Jeremy Corbyn's unpatriotic views
The Ukip Leader has said his Party will 'bite very, very hard' on the 'old Labour' voters who would be 'appalled' by Jeremy Corbyn's unpatriotic views

By Laura Hughes, Political Correspondent1:53PM GMT 03 Nov 2015
Ukip will "bite very, very hard" on the "old Labour" voters who would be "appalled" by Jeremy Corbyn's unpatriotic views, Nigel Farage has said.
The Ukip leader said many Labour voters would be uncomfortable about Mr Corbyn allegedly "cosying up to the IRA", believing the UK should give up the nuclear deterrent and wanting to give Falklands back to Argentina.
Speaking at the official announcement of the Party's candidate in the Oldham by-election, Mr Farage described the Labour leader as a "trendy hard-left Labour man" and said this by-election would be a test of whether Mr Corbyn can connect with voters outside north London.


Mr Farage said: "Is Jeremy Corbyn patriotic? Does he believe in this country? Does he believe in the people of this country?
"So I feel that we really, really can bite very, very hard into that old Labour vote who frankly bear little in common with the north London, trendy hard-left Labour man.
"This very much amongst Labour voters is going to be a test of, does Corbyn connect outside of north London and a very narrow, pretty extreme left-wing group of people.
"And all the indications that we've got is that very large numbers of Labour people are frankly pretty appalled by many of the stances that Mr Corbyn takes."


The Party Leader is backing John Bickley as the candidate for Oldham West and Royton, but said he would buy teetotal Jeremy Corbyn a "sparkling water" if they met on the campaign trail before voters go to the polls in early December.
The by-election has been triggered by the death of Labour veteran Michael Meacher, who represented Oldham in the Commons for 45 years.
Mr Farage admitted UKip has a "mountain to climb" as they will be forced to overturn a Labour majority of 14,000.
Kate Godfrey, a critic of Jeremy Corbyn, was blocked from running as the Labour candidate in the election earlier this week, increasing concerns that Mr Corbyn is attempting to rig the selection process to ensure a loyal supporter secures the seat.
