Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Good Morning Jim, Like you I can’t abide pedantry and tedious repetitive non-arguments. However, I was at a loss in this instance to understand, having been told repeatedly that the UK was/is in a very weak position, and that the EU held most, if not all the cards. Thank you for telling me what Lloy...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Morning Jim, I can only recall two ballots in the last few years which could be called democratic. The first was the Referendum, in which any sane adult who could read and stay awake was eligible to put their mark. Won by Leave. The second was the EU [Yes EU!!] elections. Although not absolutely pro...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Good Evening Jim, The recent changes at the top of the EU have made it abundantly clear that the federalist aspiration is stronger than ever. And intend it to succeed... The whole UK educational system is very much pro-EU. I know from speaking with some of them. Now, the argument that greater putati...

Re: My overal view of politicians.

Whilst this is admittedly off-topic, there is an interesting point, which appears to have escaped the actuaries at the inception of the NHS and UK State pension. They appear to have worked on the basis of a gradually increasing population, and static age of death. They can’t have believed in the Wel...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Hello Jim- just a quick response- You don’t have to convince me- I agree with 75% of what you wrote. However, I do firmly believe that the aspiration of much of the EU nomenclature is toward a federal, globalist and culturally Marxist outcome. [Not necessarily economic Marxism] My point was that thi...

Re: Trump's Latest Pearls of Wisdom

MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump offered his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin help in putting out vast wildfires that are raging in Siberia, the Kremlin said late on Wednesday, a move it said Putin took as a sign that battered ties can be restored. The Kremlin said the two leaders ha...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

Good Afternoon Jim B, I believe in the truth, which is why I voted leave in the first place. As of now, I choose to live in Cyprus because it is a token member of the EU. It has made a fine art of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. All credit- it signs up to all the stupid EU directi...

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

No Lloyd, we neither want you, nor expect you, to get behind us.
What we’d like you to do, old friend, is to go away and live in Brussels. And sink with them into their corrupt swamp.
After over 4000 monotonous Lord Haw-Haw rants, I for one am tired of your repetitive posts.

Re: You heard it here first...

I need some help here please. Being of a delicate sensibility, I could not bring myself to read the article. I wonder if someone could convey the thrust of it.
Joking aside, as often is the case, the comments on the CM were the best part!

Re: Light at the end of Boris' dark tunnel?

What a pity one man does not a parliament make in this situation, when 52% of the country which could rouse itself to vote, voted Leave, and yet there is a Remain majority in the house of 310- or 75%. Needs someone strong to drain that swamp- I’ll not suggest the obvious candidate in case the very n...

Re: Fire between Tala and Tremithousa NOW

We’ve just returned from evening walk with the dog. We came upon the fire damaged area up a track leading east from the Tala-Tremithousa road after the S-bend near Cyta sub-station. Still smouldering in places, about two acres burnt. Very lucky it was brought under control as there are nearby cornfi...

Should a gammon actually be caught lurking in the woodpile- or kipper bones, or better still, neanderthal DNA turn up, we would never hear the end of it!
