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.

Dil,

Not so.

The UK trades all around the world already.

Under €U rules, which cost us dearly.

You ain't seen anything yet!

fred - everyone here has heard ad nauseam what you think about brexit .,.... however, the cards have now been dealt, and subject to some change in stance, that is the hand to be played ..... just accept that as fact

assuredly you have as little idea what the final outcome will be as everyone else

"assuredly you have as little idea what the final outcome will be as everyone else"

That is the stupidity of Brexiters like yourself and those who were jumping for joy on winning a meaningless referendum.

The UK, like or not, is part of Europe and what depends on what happens in the EU.


I think May and cohorts were lousy gamblers and damaged the future of the young of this country.

not exactly as you will be able to remind yourself if you look back
however, unlike you i cannot be bothered to keep repeating myself

btw, TM (perhaps was) is pursuing the wishes of the majority - ie to take uk out of europe
whatever the sabre-rattling (sorry to be repetitive) is is never likely to be the "up drawbridges" that some demanded ..... whatever deal is finally struck, there will still be many who are unhappy, no doubt including you

When will we ever have strong POSITIVE government that knows where it's going and more importantly knows where it taking OUR COUNTRY.

Fred1new, It was not May that damaged the future of the young in the UK, since WW1 it has been the old that demand the young pay for their lifestyles - high pensions, Heath Care, as they will never vote for anyone that touches their wealth and what they beleive is what they are Entitled too. Free TV - Free Disabled Parking - Free Health Care till they pop their clogs, even if they know nothing about what is going on around them, because they are gone.

Hey wait a sec here, my grandparents worked all their lives and paid up front for the promise made of cradle to grave care.

They diligently paid their monthly contributions as do most of today's older people.

It is hardly their fully that successive governments were staffed by elected buffoons who could only successfully manage fiddling their expenses.

Ask yourself if private hospitals can function profitable then when can't the NHS.

If you knew what you were talking about then you would know that a great majority of NHS recourses are chanelled or as some would say perhaps fiddled is a better word into supporting the private sector.

I know for a fact that many senior NHS consultants are seeing their private patients on NHS time and using NHS resources.

It's not an old people problem it's a general people problem as they walk around with their eyes shut and their Brains switched off.

Somebody is ignoring the vote of the young in this election.

77690 - i am sure my consultant friends would very much beg to differ

I am sure they would, but I believe it to be so.

Another problem is that NHS consultants were trained at the expense of the public purse and then many practice disproportionately at the expense of the NHS in private medicine.

Many don't work their full contractual hours.

but you surmise .... in any case, per your argument, you would claim that anyone who went through state school (the public purse) should not profit and prosper in private industry ..... i'm sure marx and lenin would agree with you

It is proportional!

Cynic my friend, every one should make a profit it's very healthy to do so, but not so at the expense of the less fortunate dependan.

I would love to meet some of your consultant friends as I have taken a number to task in the past together with weak ineffectual hospital trusts CEOs who have turned a blind eye to what can only be construed as a fraud upon the public purse.

That said we must always bear in mind that the public purse is fair game for the corrupt as it is very difficult to get full and proper accountability in place when everyone is milking it..........MPs expenses being one example.

Dear Freda the Cons didn't pull us out of Europe , we voted OUT , something you always forget . and the young have been conned by Labour , they've never had it so cushy .

Where's my best friend on here Haystack?

Sulking in party HQ.

He didn't lose his deposit, did he?

Vicky dear,

The UK is not out of the EU.

I will be surprised in 4years time if dealings, rules, and regulations will be changed that much, but the UKIPPERS will be puffing their chests out and shouting "We done it", before looking at the price they have paid for doing little.


Building is more difficult than destroying or throwing the toys out of your pram.

What did T May's vanity election cost the public?

Was it £145million.

Good neo-con clean politics.
