THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

Nigel Farage was elected too, as an MEP, And now just like the rest of those
who were slagging Trump off before the elections, Haystack is hurriedly
backtracking and are now 'willing to deal' with Trump.

The same as haystacks ability to read someone's honesty and character, that or
haystack is a liberal mass open door lefty, who embraces the status quo and the
continuation of the establishment parties....

"Farage has run away from his responsibilities."

"Puffed up coward come to mind. Mind the rabble always loves a loud mouth or thug"


You will find that Nigel Farage has NOT ran away from his responsibilities,
as he STILL represents the UK in Brussels, and will still be there until the UK
pull out of that corrupt, undemocratic, unnacountable organisation, and the
sooner the better....

And if by that ignorant statement and insinuation that those who voted for UKIP
and Nigel Farage are loud mouth rabble in your small minded opinion, is like water
on a ducks back, as those who did vote UKIP has shown they want to hear the truth,
and for the truth to be heard, and of course there is people who would rather brush
it under the carpet or even deny it altogether...little fred is one of those nobody's..

Hays.. "Trump is hated equally by left and right".

There must be a hell of a centre ground since Trump trounced Clinton in electoral college votes. Maybe the left and right got it wrong. There again maybe it is just you that is wrong Hays. Wouldn't be the first time. Calm down. As for your other nemesis, Nigel's star is on the rise. Get used to it.

Haystack - 13 Nov 2016 15:59 - 74671 of 81564

Not backtracking. Just accepting reality. Trump is there. We cannot change that no matter how unpleasant he is.

Don't forget that Clinton got more if the popular vote with 4m votes yet to count.

As for Farage, he may be on the rise but it is no indication of how pleasant he is. Plenty of other scumbags gave risen over the years.

What in your humble opinion haystack do YOU find so repulsive about
Nigel Farage.

And why was YOU so fawning and sycophantic towards the snake oil
salesman 'call me dave' cameron..

I'm going to enjoy putting you straight, after i've finished other things in my diary..

cynic - 13 Nov 2016 16:51 - 74674 of 81564

fred - it comes as no surprise that you now start a consistent sniping campaign against TM ..... i confess i don't know against whom you would not rant, unless perhaps clem atlee's bones were dragged from his grave

personally, i think TM is tough and focused and doing a very good job in very difficult times and i hope she will be around as the country's leader for many more years

Chris Carson - 13 Nov 2016 16:55 - 74675 of 81564

Oh dear Nicola! Well I suppose after all those nasty things you said about him, I guess a bit of brown nosing wouldn't come amiss eh hen!

Some of the comments from the above article in the Scotsman :0)




5:49 PM on 13/11/2016 The sheep are quiet today. Perhaps they've read the report in The Sunday Times: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/scotland/snp-dragging-its-heels-on-using-welfare-powers-fc225xljk (0) (2) Tommy Hilfiger 5:43 PM on 13/11/2016 This just sums up the wee Nippy so well. What a complete and utter hypocrite. How long do we have to put up with here and lah lah land SNP nonsense. These twits will bring Scotland to its knees if we don't get shut of them soon......PLEASE NIPPY do us all a favour and RESIGN. (0) (1) immigrantwoman 5:41 PM on 13/11/2016 Trump and Brexit are like the death knell for political correctness and isn't it great! None of the usual tripe washes any more and even Sturgeon's realised it. (0) (2) Danny MaC 5:41 PM on 13/11/2016 Unlike National Socialist controlled Scotland the USA is actually still a democracy and not a tin pot Dictatorship. Clearly Trump is already piping down a bit on the blustering. It will be interesting to see what someone who is not a career establishment Politician like Nippy the Dictator can actually do, I just hope he does something to control multi national corporation greed so we will see. Anyway after all Nippy's own populist blustering I doubt her letter will even get read, she has done nothing but make a total fool of herself again.

The U.S. share of total NATO defense spending increased over the past year, from 71.9% to 72.3%.
Only five member countries — the United States, Greece, the United Kingdom, Estonia and Poland — meet the required threshold of 2% or more of GDP devoted to defense. France is almost there at 1.8%. Most, including Germany, are closer to the 1% mark.
The worst in the EU is Luxembourg with O.4%. Luxembourg is of course the home of Jean Claude Juncker, the boozy President of the European Commission who likes to warn everyone else about making their fair contribution.
He who also said ‘We will need to teach Trump what Europe is and how it works’. What a joke. It doesn't work except for self serving jerks like Juncker.
Trump is quite right. Countries should step up their contributions or drop out of Nato. There again if they do step up their spending, the EU will no doubt simply play musical chairs with budget contributions so that the usual mugs get to pay the bill in the end. Roll on Art 50.

Fred1new - 13 Nov 2016 18:14 - 74680 of 81564

Manuel.

I am not putting May in the same bag as Chump, Fauxpage, or Boris.

Compared with them I think she appears relatively honest and has picked up a bad hand to play.

I think she should have thought a little more about Brexit and been more honest about the problems of "leaving" when she was elected party tory party leader.

Rather than hoping to get away with a throw off "Brexit means Brexit".

I think at the moment estimating the problems and consequences of leaving the EU are still being "evaluated".

Considering "50" years of "deals" and renegotiating them in a hostile atmosphere is not a job for the faint-hearted.

Also, I wonder if she has the health (late-onset type 1 diabetes) and stamina for the prolonged job. Also, a fragmented tory party which will become even more fragmented when the "boys" don't get what they want.

We will see.

Ps.

For grown-ups, today's Observer is an interesting read.

Fred1new - 13 Nov 2016 18:27 - 74681 of 81564

Manuel,

If you haven't read it already I think this was an interesting summary of one of the future problems;

"Now is not the time for the US to abandon Nato – nor should its European allies go it alone"

Jens Stoltenberg Secretary General of Nato.

MaxK - 13 Nov 2016 19:18 - 74682 of 81564

Did the article mention costs Fred?

Not properly...only hinting at increasing contributions.

The yanks shoulder 70-80% of Nato's costs, and they've had enough. Time for €uropa to pony up.

Have you been on that cheap beer again Hays? You will be having nightmares of Nigel and the Donald knocking on your door. Lighten up, it may never happen.

Haystack - 13 Nov 2016 22:18 - 74686 of 81564

Farage is no threat.

Gees Hays, I bet your a riot at parties!
