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.

David Cameron prompts anger by telling MPs to ignore the views of eurosceptic grassroots members

The Prime Minister warned backbenchers not to take a view on the vote “because of what your constituency association might say”

I watched the documentary on Kids Company last night. That Camilla Batman should be reading tarot cards or a fortune tellers globe. She lives in a fantasy world where she is the great unaccountable provider; she is always right and appears to despise those that actually do the giving. Mainly tax payers.
Particularly fascinated by the overstayer Jamaican woman who has lived off the "kids company" since she has been here. Never worked a day in her life but given a fully furnished flat and all expenses paid. She appeared to treat the kids premises as a kindergarten where she could go and fill in her day colouring-in paintings.
In explaining the extravagant amounts of money spent on some, Batman claimed that her "kids" should expect the same quality of goods as kids from wealthy or middle class backgrounds. How about just working class?
The great wonder is how the charlatan was allowed to get away with it for so long.

With £billions of taxpayers money at stake isn't it about time charities were subjected to closer scrutiny. Hot on the heels of the above comes another scandal, this time from Britains biggest OAP charity, Age UK who accept a 'bung' in return for recommending a higher energy tariff to those most vulnerable amongst us. The very people this charity was set up to help. Well this is just another scandal within the cesspit of so called charities, which are run for the people who run them.

Luckily, there is no chance of socialism here.

Time for another update from the socialist paradise of Venezuela, where things aren’t looking too swell. The South American state, beloved of Owen, Diane, Seumas, Jezza et al, is suffering such hyper-inflation that it is having to fly in planeloads of increasingly worthless money to prop up its tanking economy. President Nicolas Maduro has been forced to import 5 billion bank notes in a fleet of 747s. The Bolivar is now at 1,000 to the dollar…

Morning Muppets.. or in some peoples case Moaning Muppets.

For JB and the Muppets:

EU referendum: Voters are 'crying out' for a televised debate, say democracy campaigners
Katie Ghose, the chief executive of the Electoral Reform Society, said people now expected politicians to debate key issues ahead of nationally important elections.
--------------------

Televised debates are a must given the possible consequences of the vote. We don't want what Nanacy Pelosi did in the US with Obamacare, telling democrats to vote for it and then find out what's in it.

Also Cameron has to let his cabinet speak ,if he silences anyone he will just look like a crook.
I personally don't think he has achieved anything .
Anyway wait for it because the OUT campaign has not started yet .

"Cameron "Will" just look like at Crook?".. there's no looking about it.

Stan i don't really care about any of them , i just want out of Europe .

Oh come on JB, if your not a Right Wing Tory I'm a Dutchmen -):

You know what ,i'll tell you what i am ,i prefer the Tories to Labour (always have done) i like people that are brave which is why i admired Thatcher.
I don't like the way Cameron is going to try and keep us in the EU .

And on top of that i hate , yes a strong word ,hate what Corbyn stands for , he would be the most dangerous person to ever have any power in this country .

On top of that i don't really like the UK myself any more , but unlike Corbyn i don't want to see it destroyed .
If we vote IN i am seriously thinking of moving abroad again .

I agree Stan Cameron has sold the British people short by not demanding enough at the negotiation table, he has tried to make the 4 year rule on migrants look like a huge deal, it is not, even this is watered down. His attempt to con the people will hopefully backfire.
In the absence of TM I would like to see Jacob Rees-Mogg lead the 'LEAVE' campaign, a respected MP.

Well James if you really feel like that you are either having a bad day or I agree move abroad.. but before you go can you tell us what the NFP are going to be like this afternoon -):

Dave has achieved next to nothing..



Poland's Kaczynski 'Satisfied' By EU Talks With U.K.'s Cameron

Poland's Kaczynski 'Satisfied' By EU Talks With U.K.'s Cameron



WARSAW—Poland's governing party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski voiced satisfaction Friday with the outcome of talks with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, outlining a compromise he said was reached on benefits for European Union nationals in the U.K.

"This was a very good conversation, I'm very satisfied," said Mr. Kaczynski after meeting Mr. Cameron in the Polish capital.

Mr. Kaczynski, who is widely considered the central figure in Polish politics, despite holding no executive post, said the leaders agreed that restrictions on access to the labor market can only be imposed by EU authorities rather than "in an arbitrary unilateral way by a single country." Such restrictions will be limited in time and pertain only to labor issues, not social aid to EU nationals residing in Britain.

"Poland has achieved really a lot, full security for those who are now in Britain but also that those with children in Poland will continue getting benefits," he said.

Mr. Kaczynski also said he was satisfied with the U.K.'s "readiness to cooperate on all matters related to Poland's security." Poland has pushed for a greater presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops on its soil to deter any aggression from Russia.

What about you Stan ,asking all the questions , IN or OUT ? and don't give a Fred answer .

Julian Assange (cheeky blighter!):

IMHO, 'he is free' already. He is quite free to walk out of the Equadorian Embassy at any time.

Knowing this possibility, we have police stationed outside ready to grab him and arrest him (and deport him to Sweden with whom we have an extradition treaty). If that were to happen, then as an alternative, perhaps it might be simpler, if we merely alert Sweden that we have him under arrest and that they can now come and get him.

Yes. Having the police outside the embassy waiting to do this is expensive. Perhaps Mr Assange should give himself up and submit himself to Swedish justice.

If the Americans want him and their needs take precedence over those of Sweden, then he would be best staying put where he is. Otherwise, he is not likely to be let set foot in Sweden, anyhow.

Wikileaks? Yes, Mr Assange, that was very clever, wasn't it? Perhaps you should have thought about the consequences of spilling all those beans? But there again, perhaps you think you are above the law?

One wonders if it was with that same attitude you committed some kind of a crime in Sweden? Or is that stuff just a trumped up charge?

Hmmm?
