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.

The figures are made up. You won't find them except in the Express or the Daily Mail or other right wing newspapers. They never give their sources except to say it comes from the Leave campaign.

Cameron was not asked about the money. He was asked if he would veto Turkey joining. He replied that he wouldn't be PM by then. He is unlikely to say Turkey will never join as the EU wants Turkey to believe they might in order to change their behaviour.

I wouldn't take much notice of Freda , he's probably going through the Reds as we speak .

Haze,

Cameron dodged the question.

He could have said "he" would vote against Turkey's admission with its present lack of democracy and decent human rights standards.

He tried to weave and duck the issue.

Anyway, France, Germany and Cyprus would veto any possibility of Turkey getting admitted in the next 10-20 years.

By then, if the little englanders win the referendum the UK will already be broke.

What is it like down at Tory HQ at the moment, although your postings seem to be coming from "Remain" HQ at the moment?

Parrot on a perch and Burgess and Maclean come to mind.

Where's that fiver then .

How much is it for someone outside of the EU to get British citizenship, like say from the Philippines.

You have to live here for 5 years, pass the language test plus a number of other requirements.

How about Geldof ,what a out and out scumbag .

Hays

How much ? been told its £3,000

Jimmy b

Look at all those little rich kids with him

Who would you pay the £3,000 to?

Yup ,scum the lot of them ,sticking two fingers up at the fishermen .he should worry about what his own family are doing .

You might get in for £3,000 but citizenship is a different thing and involves lots of government departments. Difficult to fix

All low life, just not needed.

The cost of obtaining UK citizenship is a little over £1,000 provided the requirements are fulfilled such as right of abode, been here for 5 years, no criminal record for 10 years, knowledge of English and life in the UK test etc.

What difference does it make? T

The crowds the other side of the channel don't give a toss about citizenship, they just want the money.

Andrew Marr and family estate worth £ 122 million apparently . Gordan Bennett how do these things happen .

A hard working family.

looking at the slapper Clinton know wonder bill went to a whore she looks more like a old man

US elections
the following snippet from a longer FT article highlights one of the major weaknesses that i see in the US electoral system - ie you haven't a hope in hell of winning if you can't drag in millions and millions of $ to fund the whole jamboree


May fundraising numbers revealed that Mrs Clinton had reeled in almost nine times the $3.1m that the New York businessman took from donors. The Democrat ended the month with a $42.5m bank balance compared with $1.3m for her Republican rival.
“It’s a further indication that the Trump campaign is not ready for prime time,” said John Feehery, a former top Republican congressional aide. “Thank God they fired their campaign manager. There is still some time, but not much.”
