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.

Best to be safe than sorrow.

Didn't state any facts actually , I said seems , on that reply I can see why , never mind .

Stab,

Trump would probably label JB as a Mexican immigrant and put a bullet through him.

Perhaps, I would vote for Trump.

Better to do your job properly then not first I would have thought being the prerequisite PD.

Your choice V, I rest my case.

Talking of cases I will leave it there for now, back later.

Don't rush now .

prerequisite . that's long word for Stan, has he gone to have a lay down

Well he's resting his case , what that means I don't know .

Stan - You obviously have some issue with the Police Service, which frankly is your problem 😀 When a farmer or shepherd sees a dog worrying sheep they are allowed by law to shoot it. Are they all work shy, lazy slovenly bastards and corrupt to boot. Or just some of them?

Following new EU sexual predator legislation, I hear the Welsh assembly now allows sheep to shoot farmers or shepherds that worry them...

Bring back happy memories for JB and Manuel.

You got that loop working again Fred .

68307 - "wetback" is the word you're looking for ...... it's deemed pretty insulting

The new electoral map will cut 50 Commons seats, of which 24 will be labour and 14 conservative. New seats will have between 71,031 and 78507 voters.
The new map will be produced by the Boundaries Commission in September and finalised two years later.
About time something was done about the Lords. Cut it by 70% and nobody would notice the difference.

No one could ever call Corbyn a wetback. Hardest work he does these days is riding his bike. Less arduous than riding you know who I suppose.

David Cameron's EU deal is a mandarin's dream

The Prime Minister's deal is not legally watertight, as Michael Gove warned, but it opens the door to a big judicial fight


http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/12171636/David-Camerons-EU-deal-is-a-mandarins-dream.html



Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, has told his parliament that Cameron got nothing and reassures them that Hungarians who have not paid contributions will still get UK benefits:


“the real debate was about there being benefits which workers do not pay for, but for which they are nonetheless eligible. The question was what should happen with benefits paid to third-country nationals, for which no contributions are paid in Britain. Here, too, we have succeeded in ensuring that these social benefits cannot be taken away… This means that we have even succeeded in protecting benefits which people working in the United Kingdom did not pay for in the form of contributions.”

Quite literally, Orban is boasting that Hungarians in Britain will get something for nothing…

And who knows what is coming down the tube after the referendum:

iturama - imo HoL does a very good job in preventing many stupid excesses that some legislation proposes ...... of course it's not foolproof (no silly jokes please!), but many in that house are very hardworking and experienced in the real world

I dont have any problem with a second tier, but if the US can do with 100, I'm sure we can do with less. Currently there are 816, excluding 39 that are on leave of absence or otherwise disqualified. If those were reduced by 70%, there would still be around 250 of the old and wise. Actually almost all being elected nowadays (in the basest form of the term) are political party apparatchiks.
Since there are only 400 or so spaces in the Lords, a culling is well overdue.

I almost wrote 400 bum spaces but I didnt want to be misinterpreted C. :)
