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.

Skinny,

About time to.

Mark my words.

Of course they will no doubt turn up and protest anyway, knowing that if they do, little will happen, probably they will be arrested and on appearing at court, receive a slap on the wrist.
This of course will be followed by several appeals, paid for by the tax payer, resulting in a decision by the court of human rights, allowing their appeal and awarding them several thousand pounds in compensation, due to oppression of their human rights.
Of course the Police Force involved, will be censured for unlawful arrest and heavily fined.

Call me cynical, but nothing today surprises me!

Mnanreh - at least its (finally) a step in the right direction, although I do agree - its the 'act' that should be outlawed, not necessarily the group.

It is surprising to me how many individuals are so protective of their own rights, but not those of others.

Good export figures, those European idiots aren't bailing us out. Have to devalue sterling another 10%.

I thought that would surprise you

Some bright geordies spotted their plane losing a wheel on departing exeter for newcastle and didn't report it straight away to the cabin crew......they must have had a brill idea about it's probably in their best interests to crash upon arrival in northumbria than having to return to devon !.

On a recent trip to the United States, Tony Blair, Ex. Prime Minister of the UK,
addressed a major gathering of Native American Indians.

He spoke for almost an hour on his plans for a CarbonTrading Tax for the UK and Europe

At the conclusion of his speech, the crowd presented him with a plaque
inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.

A very chuffed Tony then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds..

A news reporter later asked one of the Indians how they came to select the new name given to Tony Blair

They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of sh_t that it can no longer fly.

There is only one reason why we are pulling out of Afghanistan , and that is we have been defeated. How long can the Afghan government survive when we leave ? The best they can hope for is a stalemate.

Who, What, Why: Which countries wear poppies?

The practice of wearing a poppy at this time of year is not solely a British one. Indeed, the adoption of the poppy had a very international birth.

Shurely shome mishtake?

Repeat offenders appear to have worse health in middle-age

A life of crime appears to damage offenders' health once they reach their 40s, new research suggests.

Researchers from Cardiff and Texas universities looked at data on 400 men who have been followed since childhood.

They found offenders were more likely to be hospitalised and were 13 times more likely to be disabled.

Fred - one for you - An Intelligence Squared Debate


:-)

Skinny,

No won't be attending.

Even though I think the British have been responsible for many problems in the "Empire" and "Commonwealth" and indeed are less than clean with many of their ongoing "interventions" in some countries, it is time that the relevant countries accept responsibilities for their own problems. That does not mean that support from other countries should not continue.

But it is also time Cameron accepts responsibility for the numerous policy failures he and his "merry men" have introduce over the last 18months and stops blaming previous governments's actions, the Euro-zone, or the World economies

Also, it would be wiser if Cameron stopped bleating at euro-zone members and sort out the UK's problems..

Over the next five years the UK will be more dependent on the rest of Europe than Europe on the UK.



I was let out this morning and only just got back, which U-turn is introducing to-day.

I am glad the Cameron is worried about the UK economy. I am worried that he is supposed to be in charge of it.
