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 UK's population is going to swell by almost 10 million people in the next 25 years, taking us to a total of 74.3m by the middle of 2039.
The figures, projected by the Office for National Statistics, suggest that by 2027 the UK will reach the 70 million point. Net migration is expected to account for 51 per cent of the total increase, while a "natural increase" will account for 49 per cent of the growth.
The ONS has had to revise its forecast for growth over the next decade upwards to 4.4m from the 2012 estimate, which was around 250,000

This why we don't want to take immigrants swarming all over Europe. We can take them from the refugee camps where we can be selective.
MI5 said today that the terror threat is at the highest for more than 30 years. ISIL are planning mass casualty attacks in the UK. Immigration from Syria etc is a route for them to come here.

Anyone who thinks that terrorist cells won't come in on the back of this is crazy .
It's unbelievable that Merkel thought she could just invite them all in to Europe .
I would say to that sod you Merkel we are out ! and after we go it will destroy the rest of the stupid EU ..

The head of MI5 has said the terror threat level facing Britain is the highest he has seen in his 32-year career.
Andrew Parker, director general of the Security Service, said six terror plots had been thwarted in the last year.
And during a speech in London on Wednesday, he also warned that so-called Islamic State (IS) is planning "mass casualty" attacks on Britain.
He described a "three dimensional threat" at home, overseas and online - with an increasing amount of MI5's casework linked to Syria and IS.
"It (IS) uses the full range of modern communications tools to spread its message of hate, and to inspire extremists, sometimes as young as their teens, to conduct attacks in whatever way they can."

And he warned the threat posed by IS - also known as ISIL - "shows no sign of abating" after more than 750 British extremists travelled to Syria.
Mr Parker also highlighted that al Qaeda groups in South Asia, the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa remain a threat.
"All of this means that the threat we are facing today is on a scale and at a tempo that I have not seen before in my career," he added.
His remarks come days before the Government is expected to publish a draft of landmark legislation covering spies' activities in the digital era.
And he insisted the security agencies need greater powers to keep the country safe.
"Today the conversations of our adversaries are happening on a bewildering array of devices and digital platforms, often provided by companies based overseas.
"Information gathered from the technology terrorists use, often in the same way as the rest of us, may sometimes be the only way to stop them.
"And so we need the tools to access terrorists' communications online just as much as we intercepted written communications and telephone calls in years gone by."

This weekend is crucial....
If they manage an election soon, we will hopefully see a stable country there, off course if 'all the parties involved' want stability.

For those who didn't watch Daily Politics the last half may be of interest, especially those betting on China and Indian economies. ALso, interesting demography of future UK.

Refreshing to see someone speak their mind...
Barbara Windsor being interviewed about her poppy appeal:
"and what would you say to someone who didn't want to buy a poppy?"
"Sod off, I suppose"
Now why can't our weazel-mouthed politicians learn to speak so directly?
