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.

i applaud hungary, though its very right-wing gov't does cause considerable concern for other reasons
interesting to talk to my young polish taxi driver last night ..... here with his wife (well qualified and working) and young child for 4 years; his parents also work and have been here for 10 years
he despairs of the current polish gov't (too socialist and wrecking the country) and reckons uk should exit eu
===============
sharia law in uk
i find it appalling that this should be tolerated
though it has no legal force and can only adjudicate where both parties consent, can you imagine a young muslim girl having the strength to tell her husband and the rest of the family that she will refuse to consent?
i am very surprised that there is no uk law that can ban this

Nato not EU is keeping us safe
A SENIOR military figure has sunk David Cameron’s claims that belonging to the EU is essential to British security.
Rear Admiral Chris Parry, who previously commanded HMS Fearless, has said that it is “Nato (and Nato alone) [which] provides the collective guarantees that our island nation needs.”
He compared the successful “well planned” defeat of Saddam Hussein’s forces in the First Gulf War 25 years ago in a Nato run campaign, compared to the “feebly planned, strategically myopic” EU inspired intervention in Libya in 2011.
He also condemned the Prime Minister for “dragooning” a number of former senior officers into supporting his pro-EU campaign.
It is inconceivable that European countries would not co-operate with the UK
Rear Admiral Chris Parry
He said: “In the event of a Brexit it is inconceivable that European countries would not co-operate with the UK in dealing with security and other threats as they do today.” He added: “They need us, just as we need them.”

Chris Parry is right. Cameron thinks we are all idiots. Carry on as he is doing and he won't last long. His "fighting for Britain" was a charade. He talks of a "reformed europe". Poor claptrap. Only in his imagination.

For once, I agree with Cameron's opinion.

Osborne,
"The fact that the Labour Party is now getting its advice from Yanis Varoufakis and the revolutionary Marxist broadcaster Paul Mason does not suggest to me that they’ve got an answer to economic security. Presumably they chose those two because Chairman Mao was dead and Mickey Mouse was busy.”

And Osborne has all the solutions?

Are those to look after the neocon supporters club?
Have a look at the economic figures after 6 years of Osborne's conservative economic policy failures.

I don't read him aldwickk , i'm thinking he wants to stay in the EU so that we can take in another 500 000 east europeans this year and about one million Syrians while Merkel still welcomes them. Oh and the entire Calais jungle .
