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.

Some good news just in for us Nigel fans;
Nigel Farage to be given role in Brexit talks under DUP-Conservative deal – reports
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage could be ennobled or given key government role under a DUP deal.
British Prime Minister Theresa May to face important talks in proposed alliance deal between the Conservatives and the DUP.

British Prime Minister Theresa May could be under pressure to give extreme Eurosceptic Nigel Farage a key role in Brexit negotiations if she strikes an alliance deal with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), according to new reports.
Senior figures in the DUP have told May that she should keep Farage close and allow him to contribute to EU talks in an effort to prevent him from returning to the helm of UKIP, the party he once led, and launching a counter-campaign against her Conservative party, sources told the Sunday Times.
The figures have also suggested that Farage's suspected return to UKIP could be abated with the promise of a peerage. Farage is said to have been in talks with Arron Banks, one of the party's biggest donors, on Friday to discuss the future of UKIP, one of the Conservative's closest competitors.
"They hold a few cards," the source said. "They want Farage as a lord or a role in government or he and Arron will put something together that will cause trouble for May."
Farage stepped down as leader of UKIP following the U.K.'s 2016 EU referendum in which he and his party were instrumental in driving the leave campaign. Speculation over his possible return to the political spotlight remerged on Friday, however, in the wake of the U.K. election, which saw a devastating defeat for UKIP and in particular its leader Paul Nutall, who failed to be elected.
Farage said on Friday that he would have to return to politics if Britons' decision to leave the EU was not effectively implemented. On June 23 2016, the U.K. voted by a majority of 51.9 percent to leave the EU.
"If Brexit (which the) British people voted for gets betrayed, I would have no choice but to throw myself back into full-time campaigning," he told CNBC.
He has since said that May had been "fatally damaged" by the U.K. election result, in which her party lost its parliamentary majority, and would not last much longer as prime minister.
"I think she has to go," Farage told LBC radio on Monday.
"If it's going to be a Brexit government, then someone who believes in it must be in position."
The appointment of Farage could be a necessary pill for May to swallow if she is to strike a deal and drive ahead with her intended hard Brexit. She will need a parliamentary majority in order to pass through her policies and is expected to face heavy opposition from Labour MPs, whose numbers grew notable in Friday's election.
The DUP are known to have had close links with Farage for a number of years. However, his hard line stance on the EU is likely to also create friction within the DUP, whose leader Arlene Foster is vehemently against a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, a separate EU member.
................
If Farage is to be on board with Brexit, well, that will be absolutely great news as far as I am concerned.

It is real. There were calls to change it to a vegan equivalent but rejected. The reality is that it is delayed because the manifesto has to be cut down and because of negotiations with DUP.

With all financial backing they had, it is sad to watch the twists and turns of a failed tory party and government.
Both Farage and Maybe are damaged goods and even if they were burnt at the stake they could never be elevated to martyr status.
They have both past their sell-by dates.
EU is laughing at the contortions of the Brexiters and many will be happy to see the back of the UK.

Why not take a leaf out of Tax Havens - like Jersey that has just returned £1 billion of loot to the Italians it had sitting in one of the many hidden trusts and allow the UK to become offically the worlds largest Tax Haven in the world.

Cynic,
Fake news is the word you are looking for.
Used toilet paper is another more descriptive triplet.
I would think Maybe would like to lynch Fauxpage, Boris, Gov and the Fox.
Could bring back fox hunting.

I love the way you destroy these people , but then seem to have some ability to ignore possibly the lowest form that ever became a party leader , how low he goes we've yet to see , but you have this ability to overcome certain peoples actions as long as it suits your agenda , Freda .

Never a mention by Fred about JC's, JMc's or DA's links to terrorism and terrorists. How they managed to be adjudged as fit and proper people to hold the position of MP beggars belief.

Huge drop in EU nurses since Brexit vote., applicants drop by 96% since Brexit vote.
There are 1,000's of qualified nurses in the Philippines if only the UK didn't make it so expensive and time consuming filling in form's. They are some of the best in the World.

Corbyn was put forward to the Labour leadership contest by leading Labour MP's , but it backfired, not thinking that he would win.

How long do you need to work things out with the DUP . Ruth Davidson could be more awkward in time , as a Gay rights type they tend to want to let others have their slice too , like allowing anyone in the country , business over immigration she wants .
