  1. Its quite something that both of your comments actually assume this IS NOT a negotiation and that we just have to take what were told BEFORE said negotiations actually begin. You're positions are totally defeatist. Setting up a new free trade agreement it is totally acceptable to say there are areas where we want to have the same rules / regulations and other areas where we don't. Bit like the TTIP deal. Some areas where acceptable, other were not. If a UK business wants to sell to an EU (or any other trading partner) then it has to meet that trading partners standards. That's a choice the business will make. Obviously for massive industries like cars it makes sense to stay aligned, for smaller businesses we can set our own rules. This all comes back to the basic arguments of German car manufacturers, French farmer etc. The idea that the EU is going start sticking big tariffs between us is ridiculous, Its not going to happen. Have a word with yourselves and stop being so defeatist.
  2. Darkest Hour I didn’t know how close we’d come to entering into surrender / peace negotiations prior to Dunkirk or just how on his own Churchill was.
  3. What a Brian Blessed of a performance. Absolutetly fought for the cause yesterday and thoroughly deserved the win. Shelves was excellent but for me just pipped by the goally. Excellent debut and looks real quality on yesterday’s performance. I wasn’t sure a keeper was a big priority but was commanding. Well done Rafa.
  4. Finally got some Ras-el-hanout and bought a few chicken fillets to test it with. As it was kebab night I thought I’d fry a few fillets after marinating. All a bit last minute but found a marinade that called for 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup of lemon juice 1 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp Ras-el-hanout 1/2 tsp sea salt few grinds of black pepper. Had no lemon juice so I squeezed a couple of tangerines in then added 1 tsp of lazy chilli (because it was staring at me from the cupboard). Cooked over a very high heat for about 6 minutes. Result: Superb Tastes were fantastic and never cooked chicken so well in my life. Came apart like a cod fillet does.
  5. Well this was the view on here 10 years ago and nobody pulled him up
  6. I didn’t say you couldn’t or that I wanted too, I simply commented on when this went from being harmless piss taking fun to moral outrage. I’d guess it’s the latte drinkers setting themselves up as modern day Mary Whitehouses. As for the moral highness on here.... I guess we’ll be banning fists Birthday tits all too soon.
  7. I was eventually persuaded by the better argument.
  8. God you talk some pious shite People have been dressing up as Nazis, doing silly walks and taking the piss for years. Still do as a quick browse of any fancy dress shop would confirm. Elton John and the English cricket team went to a fancy dress after retaining the ashes in 86. David Gower went as a Nazi. “Nevertheless, there is a strong tradition in Britain of holding up Nazis as figures to be mocked too. “ https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/voices/paul-hollywood-nazi-great-british-bake-off-costume-a7940221.html%3famp
  9. I think you are getting confused with “access” to and being a member of the single market. Everyone knew then that single market membership meant adhering to the four freedoms.
  10. I think it was fairly clearly defined leading upto the refferendum and in Mays Lancaster house speech. The public were told time and time again that voting to leave would mean leaving the single market, leaving the customs union and that this would make the economy poorer. They chose to ignore that advice and leave anyway.
  11. Parliament votes to hold a referendum. The people vote in the refferendum. Parliament votes to trigger article 50 Plenty of democracy.
  12. Freddy Starr used to prance around dressed as a Nazi Saturday prime time on ITV in the 80’s 90’s As did many others. Who decided this sort of mockery should now be Not funny. I mean yesterday we were were laughing at a joke about someone getting hold of a 13 year olds rape victims interview for use in a wankbank.
  13. Giveover, it’s been a tradition in this country since the war to dress us as Nazis, do the silly walk etc. It’s been a regular in every fancy dress shop, many a stag do and many a british comedian has donned the uniform and taken the piss. At what point did it move from a national pisstake and bit of fun to grossly offensive. Who decided. Honesty the way this country’s going, all sorts of everyday harmless stuff will be frowned upon by the self appointed Mary Whitehouse brigade. Wouldnt surprise me if in 10/20 years we are evil bastards for keeping pets. Little Johnny’s Rabbits, hamsters and Labrador will be snatched and released into the wild. Worlds going mad.
  14. Tbh, your post was on the previous page and I couldn’t be arsed to stop typing and go and check. So what did the electorate “see through”? Sure the under 40’s May have forgotten how bad the hard left can be but this is just hard left with a spit and polish. The fact that the vast majority of decent through and through Labour MP’s are against it tells you all you need to know.
  15. Wrong! I mase it crystal clear I was mainly voting Labour to get the bairns uni fees wiped out. I succumbed to the bribe.
  16. Corbyns a puppet though and those pulling his strings are a very unpleasant lot. As for people responding to Corbyn at the election, that’s very overplayed. He was way off in the poles until the manifesto was leaked. Good old fashioned bribe electioneering. They are going to have to start looking for a new front two as they will look very old hat in 2022.
  17. Oh the good old days (not that old), when you could dress up as a nazi without people losing their shit i wonder whats acceptable today that the snowflakes will taken away in 10-20 years.
  18. I'm not here to answer your questions fuck chops. Watch the news
  19. He's never even been a minister man, Not a chance of him getting the main gig. He's interesting because he rarely dodges a question and can talk well about most stuff he's asked. He's well schooled in most stuff political, think Fish and superhero films. Come to think of dresses similar as well. Bottom line is its a fag end government and there's very little talent in the government. Runners and Riders: Boris is all bluster but has a bit too much weasel in him and everyone can now see it. The membership would take him in a heartbeat but the MP's not so much. Rudd has a majority of about 200 so too risky. Hammond Hunt has a decent enough brain, can handle the flak but has the charisma of fresh sick and even though its not his fault the NHS struggles, mud sticks. Davis: Gove: Well he's a very smart cookie and has done a very good job in his current brief. I think he would get things done and quickly but he stabbed Boris (which the membership might not forgive) and has one of those faces you'd like to punch. Really, there's no one else who could currently steal Mays crown in the short term. Even if one did the same problems of trying to hold both sides of the party together would still be there and her successor would be left trying to ride two horses with one arse. Tally Ho!
  20. Sounds good. What’s the subscription add on and how much.
  21. It’s in, but the football links are terrible these days. Us oldies have to move with the times.
