Are you happy to let these citizens from a former British colony in?

Sorry, you'll have to make up your own mind how to vote. 😘

BTW The poll is well into the last hour so I would suggest doing so now.

For anyone without Twitter...

bit like this brexit nonsense then...just throwing money away

Brexit would have been a lot cheaper if we weren't messing around for 4 years and instead got on with it from the get-go.

it needs the people of sheffield,mr rat man and a load of birds of prey to sort out this huge problem,before someone dies of the weils disease ,so come on dont joke about what could lead to death.

I wonder to what degree that is really so. Admitted rats have got a bad name where in the past they have lived in the sewers and carried diseases back to the population. In the park though aren't they living a more natural life in the park grounds?

America are always wanting to up the ante, they are always looking for ways to cause trouble with other countries, too much money is made selling weapons, as the American lapdog, we always follow suit unfortunately 

The great pity is the Americans have a couple of poodle states that are prepared to do their bidding.

We need another Churchill.! 

Churchill? Like a kipper - two faced and no guts.

One solution that Western governments seem to think will work without problems is to open up immigration for the whole world to come to Europe.

I'm trying to work out if this plan has any flaws.

I'm afraid I have to disagree.

 

I don't carry cash with me at all, so if I need to pay cash for an item at the local shops, I'll have to withdraw a minimum of £10 from the cash machine, pay for the item, then I have several pounds of change on my person that I will inevitably spend very quickly.

 

On the other hand, if I pay with a card instead, I'll spend the amound for that item only and have no spare change to waste on other items.

 

I'm very financially disciplined. . . most of the time!

Fair do! But remember like with all things, If you don't use it, you'll lose it. If enough other people follow your example the old folks, people without bank accs. etc. etc. will also lose the ability to hold cash in hand when govts. discontinue cash (which is very much on their wish list).

Although I have cards, locally I only use cash. For me cards are for stuff from other countries and for emergencies.

Still nothing has been resolved by the police and other authorities. I don't think they ever will supply us with real answers.

For myself I still can't discount the possibility that Britain was behind the whole thing and was acting as America's poodle to try and up the anti against the Russians. Asking the question who benefits, that would seem to be the most likely scenario.

I use both sides of toilet paper.

Do you use them for jotting down notes first?

I wonder where we would be now if Hillary Clinton had become president.

Apple has become the first company to be worth 1 trillion dollars - £767 billion.

I wonder how much of that is in the hands of private investors and how much is owned by the likes of non-US central banks.

Why would I do that when I can ask you?

I'm wondering how on earth you think you know them well enough to form an opinion like that.

Time will tell. As you said yourself it was my opinion and it was formed on bits and pieces of a vast quantity of information about both of them in the media.

I note you felt unable to wager a guess as to how long the union will last.

Interesting thread! Just read through much of it.

In my opinion it was a foolish decision by Trump to move to Jerusalem when the city is claimed as the capital by both Palestinians and Jews.

Regarding the use of deadly force against stone-throwing youngsters (and all the other incidents in their short history) I reckon somewhere down the line Israel will have a high price to pay for not having better relations with their neighbours.

I have been wondering how long what I consider to be two completely incompatible types will manage to get along before their marriage breaks up?

What do others think here? I'd give them perhaps 5 yrs.

Is there any way of doing a poll on these forums?

A surprising answer to the "Where are to Skripals?" question.

The Skripals Will Most Likely Never be Allowed to Talk

It's a way of saying to the whole wide world "Look at me, I'm a right <removed>".

According to this report the UK gvmt. has put a D-Notice on media reporting. If true this is a typical <removed> measure taken by our honest leaders.

How about his one then?

An older one but nontheless still valid....

Independent Canadian journalist challenges MSM, explains what actually is going on in Syria

Caution: Before watching it maybe you should take another sip of your Cool-aid.

Roger Waters (co-founder of Pink Floyd) denounces the White Helmets at a concert in Barcelona in Spain.

Good thing that some people have got things straight in their heads

I've disconnected from Facebook now.

It took me ages going through everything deleting all my photos and posts.

In this YouTube London Paul does a good summing up of the Assad business and ties it in with the poisoned Russians in Salisbury. A good one hour's worth of listening in my opinion.

About as blatant as it gets...

White Helmets & the UK

My comment: "Stupid is as stupid does". Have we now reached "Peak Stupid"?

Why can't he keep his stupidity to himself?

Because the legal authorities didn't do their duty and see him imprisoned for life for starting a previous war based on nothing but lies.

...that's because it went up so much so fast. Lots would like to take their money off the table while still in some profit but are still seduced by those huge bubble rises which I cannot see happening again, so what money you have invested you might as well leave in as there is no other home at the moment, but the big money has gone from Crypto!

Gold has had a miserable 5 years but the next 5 years are forecast to be better.

Maybe you're right but it's damn hard to know for sure.

Bitcoin has had many large retracements in the past of similar size so history might suggest that it will recover and surge again, but when?

Myself I'm buying at today's prices. One problem is the only Bitcoin ATM in the neighbourhood is on the blink and I don't want to buy online where big brother can see everything.

PS listening to a JW Weatherman podcast right now. Well worth a listen for cyber freaks lol

Getting back to the Salisbury attack:

Does anyone else here agree that just because the British government is making clowns of itself, the fact that NATO has supported Britain in its petty spate of angry accusations against Russia demonstrates that NATO is no better than completely useless?
