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.

Is this what we should be looking at ?

Home care 'breaches human rights'

No - the link has the title "Plan on child sex exploitation" - could have been worded better!

Am more interested about the human rights law being used as it should be intended protecting the weak as in this case.

"He certainly tells then 'exactly' how it is."

Perhaps, when translated means, "as you believe it is, or should be"

With Farage in "power", the Uk would be faraging for "food" within 10 years.

"He certainly tells then 'exactly' how it is." Its the sort of sentence Fred would write, Fred are you sure he wasn't taking the piss out of some of your post's ?



"With Farage in "power", the Uk would be faraging for "food", Fred's attempt at a witty reply or in Fred's case witless reply.

Aldwick,

The 'then' instead of 'them', was a spelling error.
I never see F**ds posts as I have him on squelch, so have no idea or interest in what he thinks or writes.

G.

For the time being, your posts still amuse me and intermittently, I will continue to read them with avid expectation.

Aids,

Sadly, I have noticed references to you appears in too many of my posts.

Aids.

PS,

But I can see why you formed your opinion of Farage, UKIP and tory policies (before the necessary U-turns.)

-------------

I had already accepted "then" as a minor typing error for "them" and of little consequence on a b.b. of this nature. I would suggest that it would benefit yourself more, if you pay a little more attention to your own literary and intellectual skills, before typing responses.

Have a nice day.

Like many I have Fred squelched, but if he is anti Farrage then I do have some sympathy with his views.
Farage is a one trick pony and to talk about the eec is a very easy way of gettinf support in current situation.To say that he talks the most plain speaking politician since Churchill does not mean so much as Farrange is not a politician in Westminster.
Short memories the last plain speaking MP since Churchill was Enoch Powell and he did it as a member of a cabinet. No there is someone who told the truth and not enough people believed him
Farrage has all the questions re the EEC that resonate with a great number of Uk citizens but no answer apart from us leaving the common market.

Stable,

Was it you who once referred to Murdoch as a gentlemen on here?

Stan.

The come back will probably be :" he was "joking".

N,

Which one Left or Right?

Fred,

Could be could be -):

Stan
no, u have me mixed up with another.

Fred, I went to a crap Secondary Modern School what's your excuse ? Don't know how to use a spell checker . You sound like a working class snob to me , all fur coat and no knickers, sorry should not have mention your private life.

Stable

Farage did not say he wanted the UK to come out of the Common market , that's what he want's , a common free trade market not a Federal European state.

Stan

Could be could be , or not to be that is the question or is it the answer ?

That is what we last voted for, but at that time if we had listened the anti vote was telling us that by voting yes to a common market we were opening the doors to much more and the Heath knew this was the outcome.
I believe we are too deep in the matket to revert back to the original concept
