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.

Stable,

Thats what I sort of said in my last post.
The only answer to us leaving the EEC is to reform with those other countries that will either follow us out of the club immediately or within a short time and create an open trade agreement.
You mention the farm subsidies and their negative effect on countries such as ours due to the encouraging effect of supporting those none productive farmers of many EU countries, that is just one of the many reasons why I feel that if we do leave the union, things won't after a while, be as bad as many people believe, after all we import more from the union than we export to it.
I have read many reports over the last few months that suggest that after an initial period of deeper depression on leaving, things would soon start to improve.
Its a big world outside the union with many trading opportunities which the UK for many years has neglected.
Trade outside the EU is probably less restricted than trade within the EU due to all the extra red tape that the EU was designed to do away with, but didn't.
The EU as we know it is dead, the powers that be just won't let it lie down, so yet more money will continue to be poured into the never ending pot (that has a great big hole in the bottom) until they all wake up and realise that the 'Emperor really has no clothes', none so blind than those in power who can not see!

Aids,.

Apologies,

I was thinking you problems stem from your brains being scrambled in the boxing ring.

By the way. what did you do to improve the image of your "Crap School"?

===============

Anybody view the "Leveson Inquiry"?

Listened to the experiences of the McCanns'.

I think there is a stench around the practices of the Express, Star, Daily Mail and other rags which pass for News Papers.

I would like to see the editorship, "journalists" and CEO s of the various "papers" in the dock and if found guilty, fined and imprisoned for a 3 months.

Mind judging by previous threads, many would prefer an unregulated press.

Just received this as an email.

Pee-ers of the Realm

Dear Connoisseur,

This week, my report is on the House of Lards. The inhabitants of this shockingly urine-poor institution fall into the following categories:

Thieves and Criminals:

-Baroness Uddin falsely claimed expenses on a house she rarely visited. Having been disgraced and suspended from the Lards, she now plans to sit (sitting is a special term used in the House of Ludos to describe their work most of us actually have to do something to earn a living; they merely sit) in the chamber, claiming 300 per day tax-free allowance, and using this money to repay her ill-gotten gains effectively using tax-payers' money to pay off money she had swindled from the tax-payer - a real woman of the people.

When the Queen comes to the House of Cards to make one of her Queer Speeches, I am sure she will recognise Lords Taylor, Hanningfield and Archer, as they have all spent time in Her Majesty's prisons, for various crimes.


Shameless Hypocrites:

-Working class man of principle, Baron Prescott of Kingston-upon-Hull in the County of East Yorkshire (John to his friends) said that he would never sit in the House of Loons, as it went against everything he stood for. He did, however, "to retain influence and hold the government to account. What a selfless man, putting others first.
Even though he hates being a Lord and that, he is doing his bit to help us, the common people, in our lives.

-The humbly-named Baroness Scotland broke her own employment law that she, as minister, had been responsible for fashioning. She got away with it by dismissing her breach as a technicality and by being utterly spineless. A person we can all look up to.

-Baron Kinnock. Diabolical rider of EU gravy trains and system milker.


Pompous Bores/Boors/Boars:

-Lord Mandelson. A real shocker.

-Baroness Williams of Crosby (Shirley). Sanctimonious busybody.


Total Failures:

-Baroness Morris of Yardley (Estelle) is a failed education secretary who resigned because she was not up to the job.

-At least she admitted her own failures, unlike Baron Martin of Springburn, aka failed speaker of the house Michael Martin, who brought the House of Commons into such disrepute and was so terrible at his job.

These are just two examples of unfortunates; The Lards contains countless other disastrous humans.


Irrelevant Fools:

-Bishops of London, Durham, et cetera + assorted hangers-on, e.g. The Archbishop of Canterbury

-Peter St. Clair-Erskine, 7th Earl of Rosslyn (deceased)* et al.

Why any of these people are having a say in the laws of our land is anyone's guess.


*he is not actually deceased, though he might as well be.


Note: For legal reasons I would like to point out that just because a particular lard is in the Irrelevant Fools category, for example, that does not preclude him/her/it from also being a criminal/thief etc. Similarly, there is no suggestion, for instance, that a Shamless Hypocrite in the Hearse of Lords is anything other than totally useless.

It is nice to know our PM is squeaky clean and has put the expense scandal behind him.

Pity about his past pruning.

Is he claiming his "unemployment or sickness benefit" to pay for the below?

Now, I know where my Taxes are going.

In 2001, Mr Cameron paid 650,000 for his constituency home - a purchase aided by around 150,000 in parliamentary expenses. When Mr Cameron bought this home, he also acquired a patch of land up the lane. This was separated from the main house by a driveway and garages belonging to a cottage opposite.

From inspection of Land Registry documents, Channel 4 News found that in November last year, Conservative peer and Tory donor Lord Chadlington, who owns a large manor house nearby, bought the cottage for 715,000, thereby taking ownership of the driveway and garages which ran across the prime minister's land.

Am I mistaken, or it it "hands back in the tills"?

Not fit for purpose comes to mind.

PS.

It is good to see the tories are led by such an upright pillock and a man who believes in the NHS, "family values" and the "Big Society".

Mind as such a successful international leader and statesman we should ignore his little "weaknesses".

Fred1new-----------The fact that you were an ex miner may lead people to think that there is a certain amount of bias in your postings/rantings regarding the Tories.

The whole point of the UKIP is to get us out of The Evil Empire; many of its members would be happy if it was disolved after that aim had been achieved. It seems that the UKIP now has a higher rating in the polls than the Lib Dems.

Merkel has called for the EU to "complete economic and monetary union and build political union" My father killed Germans to prevent that happening.

She has already replaced the Greek prime minister with a former vice-president of the european central bank and stopped them having a referendum and she also replaced the Italian prime minister with a former European commissioner. These two Merkel appointments were two of the eurocrats that caused the disaster in the first place. They prioritised the survival of the euro and deliberately overlooked the debt criteria to admit Greece and Italy.

I am only surprised that Cameron didn't return from his recent meeting with her waving a piece of paper saying she had promised not to stage another coup d'etat and promised not to install any more Vichy governments.

.

Fred, Big Society!, thought the dick head had ditched that?.

Was doomed to failure anyway.

What person in their right mind is going to be made redundant by the council and lose thier job and then take up what they were previously paid for on a voulantry basis.

Cameron is a bloody fantasy merchant. Hes way out of touch, but then again I suppose If I was given everything from birth and had no money worries id be the same.

Get Mick Portilo and Ken Clarke running the economy or put in a labour government I say. The conservatives have lost the female vote and the student vote, that will spell disaster at the next elections if we get that far.

I reckon this coalition have at best another 18 months and the wet liberals will bring it down.

The rank and file libs are already up in arms about their 7% share of the vote.

Seething is the word at my local Lib club, ales rank aswel.

Mnamreh,

I for one believe that this nonsense plan, is being seriously considered by Germany, with perhaps shared power with their new found friends the French.

I have read several reports that state that the only way to save the Euro and the Eu as it stands is by a Dictatorial fiscal plan, whereby budgets, tax plans and all other fiscal bodies are dictated and run by a central body, with countries loosing their own sovereignty in these matters.

I for one am certain that this policy will never get of the ground due to the general populace not standing for it, but that does not mean these proposals are not being proposed.

Remember the pen is mightier than the sword.

I must remember that the next time I get inside a boxing ring, left jab, right hook, No hit him with my Parker.

Stephanie Flanders is really busy up on twitter today.

Cant make my mind up if Id give her one or not. bit bow legged. Think id go for a yes vote.

Now Emily Mateless, wow fantastic legs and looks a bit of a nympho. Wouldnt turn that away. No chance.


Fiona Bruce looks a cracker aswel but Ive heard she can be a real tempremental type.

Mind still wouldnt say no.
