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 court case brought by a Labour donor on whether Corbyn should
be put on leadership list, which started the other day is expected to
deliver their verdict today.

Judge decided that Corbyn can stay on ballot. That's good news. We can now have the entertainment of Labour tearing itself apart.
The case may be appealed

Supreme Court blocks SNP's controversial 'named person' scheme
By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent
28 July 2016 • 12:12pm
The Scottish Government has suffered a humiliating defeat in the UK’s highest court after its controversial “state guardian” scheme was ruled unlawful.
The judgment emphasises the importance of article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights - on the right to a private and family life - and in a withering passage states:
"The first thing that a totalitarian regime tries to do is to get to the children, to distance them from the subversive, varied influences of their families, and indoctrinate them in their rulers’ view of the world. Within limits, families must be left to bring up their children in their own way.”

And from one witch to another , Merkel rules out Migrant policy reversal . Nice to know that the democratic EU goes and asks the other 26 nations what they think .

Two men have been jailed for 4 years for smuggling immigrants into UK.
Well we're seeing some Justice at last..It's to be hoped those immigrants that
were smuggled into the country illegally are deported forthwith, with NO lengthy
appeals.

Post 72891,
If only it could be done retrospectively and I could choose who would be subjected to the procedure, I would give willingly.

Dumbo and Manuel,
How are the Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen getting on?
Are they giving you some tips?
You may feel at home with the moderate views on immigration.
Mind if the con or the kipper parties reject you can always join the BNP.
I sure you will feel at home.

This was written a few years ago, but it sums up Fred and fellow travellers to a tee.
England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution.

Perhaps that was written by a biased English man and not being English I can understand their dilemma.
Perhaps this is apt.
“Patriotism is proud of a country's virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country's virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, "the greatest", but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.”
Also,:
If you give respect to others, then others may give respect to you. At least you will be giving them a chance of doing so.
