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 wonder who wrote the below and of whom does it remind me?
"Fascism was an explosion against intolerable conditions, against remediable wrongs which the old world failed to remedy. It was a movement to secure national renaissance by people who felt themselves threatened with decline into decadence and death and were determined to live, and live greatly."
"Together in Britain we have lit a flame that the ages shall not extinguish. Guard that sacred flame my brother Blackshirts until it illuminates Britain and lights again the Paths of Mankind."

Canada walks out of trade talks with EU
Canada's trade minister walked out of talks with Belgium's French-speaking regional government, drawing a last-minute attempt to rescue the free-trade deal between the EU and Canada to a temporary close.
Speaking after fruitless negotiations, Chrystia Freeland said: "It seems obvious for me, and Canada, that the EU is not able to have an international agreement even with a country which has such European values as Canada, and even with a country so kind, and so patient as Canada"

i guess we'll get used to the e- format
obviously it's much cheaper to produce that way than a hard copy + postage

I flick through it in about 30 secs. Won't be renewing. Good to leave a mag on the side and have a browse instead of being on the computer 24/7.

ie: Canada walks out of trade talks with EU..
That tells you we shouldn't be in a organisation that cannot fulfill any meaningful
agreements, that can be held up by just one part of a small country.
We have to go through this rigmarole , but it will be worth it just to get shot of
a entity that's not fit for purpose, and filled with arrogant little shits..

It was one of the federal provinces of Belgium. A Walloon district. It stopped Belgium from ratifying the treaty due to their federal constitution. They seem pretty immovable at the moment. They have a list of dislikes about the treaty.

Belgium has no less than 4 Parliaments that can veto such a trade deal. There again we have our devolved parliaments demanding a say also, although no veto.. There are also objections in the Irish Parliament, as well as Germany. Romania is also complaining that Canada insists, with the US, on entry visas for Romanians etc
The EU is a four-headed, 28 tentacle octopus with innumerous appendages to the tentacles. Little wonder nothing gets done. Farage saw through it close hand. Negotiation is impossible with that lot and hardly surprising. However, it makes May's task that much clearer and simpler.

That's a good article by the 'American Thinker', and obviously mirrors
the same ideology that exist in the UK, and emanates ultimately from
the EU.

"and they all lived happily enough with their muslim brothers?"
And he should google asia bibi if he believes in that statement.
www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9138/uk-pakistan-asia-bibi
This is a quote from those in Pakistan who want(demand) to uphold
the islamist ideology.
Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhry, the lead lawyer who heads a group called the
Movement for the Finality of the Prophethood, said Bibi had already been
found guilty on two counts.
"When they execute her it will stop other people from committing blasphemy"
he said.
Yes we can live 'happily' with our muslim brothers, so long as we cower to
their beliefs.
NO IF'S..NO BUTS!!!
