Re: More lies from Leave.eu

And in anticipation of the manipulation, lying, cheating, fake news and nasty Russian interference by the eurosceptics in the forthcoming EU elections, we have no less a paragon of virtue, Jean-Claude himself, spouting forth: …”[Juncker] also cautioned there was a risk of foreign manipulation around...

Re: The Rosy EU

Good morning Jim. Now, the last thing I wish to do is become a pedantic nitpicker, but your last sentence ends with the line “ leavers and Remainers”. I feel that the capital initial should be accorded to the side which won the Referendum in 2016 by 1,350,000 votes, so whilst I’m sure it was only an...

Re: Brexit extended until October 31st

Jackie, we’re English- we don’t do revolutions! At least, not the sort that could frighten the horses! No. It’s the ballot box, and for my part, a vote for the Brexit Party. The others have earned themselves a damned good kicking, which they will get, come the elections. The next step should be work...

Re: Brexit extended until October 31st

There is going to be some delay, Jackie, but be sure that Brexit will happen in the fullness of time. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” wrote William Congreve. He couldn’t have forseen the fury that will be directed at the so-called “ruling classes” and their “elitist” flunkies in the media, ...

Re: Gesy re S1 holders

Thank you for that, MrBlobby I was not familiar with the form "S1", so I looked it up, and it seems it was formerly the E121, which I believe we have. Good news! [Quote] "S1 (formerly E 106, E 109 and E 121 - still issued by some institutions) Certificate of entitlement to healthcare ...

Jim B- I thought it funny that I, a knuckle-dragging leaver, spent the afternoon in the beautiful countryside enjoying the sunshine, the wildflowers and birds, while you were reclining on your couch with rattle, flat cap and red wine- [no brown and mild for you!!]- watching the soccer.

Re: The Rosy EU

Jim, there was nothing stopping anyone from traveling, working,residing- or being educated in European countries before the EU- you talk as if the UK was then part of the USSR. Best we agree to differ as regards the past conflicts- thank God others did make huge sacrifices, or we wouldn’t be having ...

Re: The Rosy EU

Jeba, I speak for myself when I say that I value sovereignty above all other considerations; I knew the pound would be pummeled by opportunists and speculators, and indeed it affects me, but that is nothing compared to the sacrifice made by the millions who gave their lives over the centuries for ou...

Re: The Rosy EU

Good Morning Jim. Whilst I humbly acknowledge I am probably even more percipient and intelligent than many of my leave colleages- which is saying something- sovereignty is nevertheless the central tenet of leaving. Through spending too much time in the remain ranks, you have come to believe like mos...

Re: The Rosy EU

Just a lot of hot air about “exposure” and “headwinds” and other ambiguous waffle typical of the “ratings” agencies who never even saw the 2008 crash coming. So what, Cyprus has been whining on about the bases for decades and ludicrously threatening to send these sovereign territories backdated rent...
