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.

RSA pays nigh on 10% you can not get that in many places .

Ald,

If instead of making a defence for you posting about "Jefferies", you had apologised for a "mistake", then it would have been more acceptable.

I would suggest that, if you read some of your previous posting, you may understand the degree of malevolence that some read into them and hence some of the responses you get.

That is why I am am antagonistic to your postings as I see them representative of you.

I will leave you in peace.

Fred

The newspaper's made a mistake / lied , not me. Are you saying people who read the paper's shouldn't repeat what they have read to anybody else ?

ALD,

So, you made the accusations based on "false" information.

The action was yours.

The malevolence was yours.

The stance which you make proposing is that of a vigilante when he has been party to the hanging of an innocent person.


Repetition of lying is still lying in my book

=========

Change subject.

If you were in a negotiation, such as Cameron is in with the "Eurozone Crisis" with 17 member states and another 8 or so hanger-ons, would you be stating, that if the lifeboat wasnt going in the direction you thought it should be that you would sink it.

I suppose it is the politician in him rather than an international statesman, pandering to his right winged euro-phobic party members.

But, if he does do as is suggested I wouldnt be surprised if he is thrown overboard.

Interesting to read the size of the different populations and mass size of the different countries of the EU,

Have your say(30)


TOP Eurocrats are secretly plotting to ensure David Cameron does not win a single concession from talks on the future of the EU, it emerged.




Sources said yesterday that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy ...............plan to gang up with other EU leaders at a crucial summit in Brussels tomorrow to inflict a humiliating defeat on the Prime Minister in his drive to return sovereignty to Westminster.

Insiders say Mr Cameron will be isolated and walk away with nothing.

EU leaders will refuse even to discuss British objections to a proposed financial tax that would hammer the City of London and cost hundreds of thousands of British jobs.

the uk gov are working out how to tell the public why we have got to join the euro countrys

I think it is a good time to do so. we r stronger now.

"EU leaders will refuse even to discuss British objections to a proposed financial tax that would hammer the City of London and cost hundreds of thousands of British jobs."

More like:

EU leaders will refuse even to discuss British objections to a proposed financial tax that would "not" hammer the City of London and "not" cost hundreds of thousands of British jobs.

And so it begins - Eurozone: France and Germany urge common taxes

The leaders of France and Germany have called jointly for eurozone countries to have common corporation and financial transaction taxes.

Sounds sensible to me.

Further regulations or the various international financial services and implementation of those regulations is necessary.

The banks are blamed, but the markets were using their services and probably equally responsible for the present chaos.
-----------------------------------

Also, I think, that governments around the world having to genuflect to financial marketers, is destructive and bodes ill for the future unless the power of the market place is supervised.

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

Cameron's attempts to sit on the fence, is more likely to end up with him sitting on his own balls.

========

You can't reap the rewards of a unified Europe, before making a commitment to the concept and be constructive in your actions for its future development.

Instead, the actions of Cameron and his cohort Osborne are seen as attempts at smash and grab, by other members of the EU..

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

At the moment the Euro-septics seems more like children in a sweet shop wanting candy, but not prepared or able to pay for it..

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

Yes, we need to get out of the EU (greater Germany) now.

Who's we?
