ECRG Hokey Cokey
Meanwhile over in Brussels Finnish centrist Hannu Takkula has decided to stay in the liberal ALDE because presumably he remembered he isn’t a conservative after all and Lithuania’s Waldemar Tomaszewski has joined the Euro Conservatives / Reformists Group. So they are still an 8 nation group above the all important 7 nation threshold…
oh okey cokey cokey
This grouping looks stable. Not.
I’m afraid this is going to come back and bite Cameron on the ass.
Europe is going to become a very big issue soon and unless Cameron comes up with something resembling a coherent Policy on Lisbon and a group that doesn’t look like a hastily cobbled together Euro pudding the Eurosceptics will not stay silent forever.
we must protest we have stayed silent to long , we have had our parliment taken over by goverment , we must reclaim what is ours , we must stop this assult on our rights , on or demrocecy and our votes
It is a nonsense rule that a national party in the assembly at Brussels and Strasbourg has to link up with other parties from other countries to have full rights.
We have 72 MEPs,about one tenth of the EU parliament.
So you either side with the big boy in the playground,or stand in the corner on your own.
Why is it going to bite him in the donkey, or do you mean arse?
Why do McMillan-Scott and Kirkhope hate each other so much?
Set of fruitcakes.
Tory joke time as they suck up to every bampot in the european parliament
in or out is the question
Definately out. We’ve done alright on our own for the best part of 1000 years, so we’ve had plenty of practice.
i think our parliment make our laws not brussels, and the lisbon treaty makes it in law
I’d like to walk,but the reality is that the EU would treat us in a vindictive manner,and i don’t think the current populace has the stomach to face up to the hostile bowling that would come our way.
you worried about the aussies opening bat ? we got kp
Those hollowed out export driven economies have a lot more to lose.
Well, you put your left foot in – left foot out
In – out – in – out!!!
Call a national referendum – not sure what it’s gonna be about!
Lisbon Treaty?
(trying to stay ontopic for a change)
Fuck Europe
guido
please
we do not give a fook about this europe shit
just leave it
That does appear to be true.
I was going to try to say something sensible, but obviously not the right place.
“whats more important, being reformist or being conservative”
Sod it.
guido give us a wave guido guido give us a wave
*** WAVES ***

Bravo!
Gargle it more like.
Dunno – try Hannan first over at DT?
Dan the Man has done a detailed breakdown of the nasty fringe parties in all the groupings. Layabout , in the lefty -federast group, have got some real sweethearts who are even nastier than Labour. So all this crap from Speedo and his fellow goons insinuating how pure they are is just more Labour brownies.
Well I think that’s it in a nutshell really…
Not in those shorts!!
Sweetie I’ll do to you what my Grandma said she did to her three sons to keep them in line,
When they spoke out of turn – she gave them a smack with a wet dishcloth.
Fenwomen cannot be talked to like that!
I will take my hoe to you!!
Mud wrestlng? No
Welly wanging across the dyke? Beat you any day!!!!
This’ll be interesting to watch – is the dyke butch? or wearing a bikini?
So that is twice in one week that the Labour MPs have betrayed their Nation.
1) bercow the expenses fiddler just to spite the tories.
2) No to public Iraq Inquiry just to spite the Tories
This ain’t no democracy, it’s a dictatorship dressed up as a democracy.
So what will be their thrice times betrayal?
An outrageous betrayal of the people.
ZNL – Never a truer given-name.
labour are the nasty party
They are The Abhorrent Party make no mistake

Why did you post this?
A non-entity talking to a complete charlatan; a waste of time.
Sorry – I think the EU is a monstrous con game.
tony for EU president ( we could wage war on the US!!!!) – £750,000 per annum plus expenses
gordon for EU chancellor (let’s bankrupt the world!!!!!) – 500,000 per annum plus expenses
Modded again!!
What did I say ??
tony – leaching the system as eu president and then helping his pal gordon to a troughing position as eu chancellor.
This is what is going to happen!!
What is wrong with stating the truth????
the goverment doesnt do truth
How do you fancy playing for the EU cricket team, 4 stumps instead of 3 and five balls an over?
And a 365 day lunch break. All expenses paid.
If anybody asks just say you were following the rules.
On a pitch measured in metres? No way. Some things are sacred.
True but what I do not understand, Is why do New Labour hate the British people especially the English so much?
cuz they’re mainly Scottish?
I think it goes back about 80 years or so; from the sea-change among the intelligentsia following the 1st World War. Y’know – ‘Eminent Victorians’ and all that.
The tradition of Britain hating was carried on into the 50s, and the baton carried further by this lot of 1970s student radicals who rule us now. Everything British was and is shit, according to this generation. Hence the emphasis on multi-culturalism – the ‘vibrancy’ of areas dominated by ethnic minorities as opposed to how dull us indigenes are supposed to be, for example.
Combine that with Labour being wiped out of southern England in the early 1980s, which left the present generation of Labour leadership Scot-heavy.
OK, these points don’t explain everything but they might go some way to lighting up why we are in such trouble now. And we are in serious trouble.
They don’t,really,but you keep reading newspaper-and online-articles by people with a vested interest in getting you to think that they do.
Once you get a mind of your own, you will understand,and see that you are being manipulated
Because they are all Scottish.
Coz they are Jocks with chips on their shoulders perhaps.
It’s in their DNA, imbibed with their mother’s milk and finally after masterclasses in how to win the electorate’s trust unleashed with unmerciful savagery on its intended victims, us – again and again and again and again.
21st century Britain cannot afford the luxury of unemployable political wannabes, with no ability and little experience hijacking government and leading us all like lambs to the slaughter. I live in hopes that this time they may have cooked the goose that laid the golden egg but am not holding my breath.
Perhaps because parliament is stuffed with Scots, probably the gorgon’s friends, (got nothing against the Scots), – only these ones. Scratch the surface and you will find that a lot of Scots, like the French, seriously resent the English.
Love Local/village cricket – leather on willow and all that.
I love doing cricket teas. It’s all about real people
The eu and gordon could learn from it.
It’s all about connecting with grassroots. Oh sorry. gordon doesn’t understand the phrase rural/grassroots!!!!
my batting not going well
Dont worry in the EU we will get some one from Poland to do that for you.
Freddie – you’re batting is going better than Guido’s comment numbering.
I don’t think he understands the phrase ‘real people’ either.
Could be worse Nell – I’m being stalked and called a cnut by TwAT on the other thread ‘cos he thinks dead servicemen is a funny subject – how come he never trips the overlord?
Oh Steve! These trolls have one undeveloped brain cell in their little toe.
They understand nothing of real life(they are after all living off ‘you can’t believe it expenses’ – and they are all called gordon.
Nell, you think they have that many?
I used to think that TwAT was possibly Guido in disguise, but in the last few weeks he’s turned from an annoying troll into a complete fucking wanker
Grrrr
Takes the heat off me though Steve! Look on it as public service, I always do!
Well, the problem dear Nell, is that we get to moan about it in advance, and it doesn’t give Guido a scoop, when we’re all expecting it to happen. Also there is issues about psychic abilities and fortune telling… what if you’re wrong? Do we get our money back?
guido i know you dont do sport but as the ashes are coming up how about a blog about it , if it aint popular close it down if it good its a result ?
Cricket’s really exciting.
there will be plenty of cricket in other places
Aah the slap of leather on willow.
And so, tell me more about your mother.
OT Where are you Charles? Let’s see you try and defend this one.

I think Guido’s server might have had a pint of Guinness. The last two threads are completely broken.
Guido, it appears that it might be to do with embedded Youtube comments – as soon as a video is posted the thread seems to break and comments scatter all over the place.
Steve . Relax and enjoy. It shouldn’t all go the way WE want it to.
Sometimes it’s just fun, and sometimes informative to let someone else channel the debate.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, chilling out now… :-)
o/t i just the news about a young girl who drunk paint stripper and now wants it banned , her parents the kid passed away , but hang on when did anyone drink paint stripper to get high apart from charles e hardwhatever , i know s and kids doing what they told ? fuck am it aitn popular but what about parents being parent , fuck am i alone in this ?
Glass of wine is good !! Just on my second.
Cheers!!
lol Nell, I’ll go and get one!!
I’m just about calmed down from the TwAT earlier – I’m all for humour but some subjects are just not funny when you’ve got friends over there…
Nell, you never did tell me what wine you were on the other night. It induced a spelling mistake at about the third sip, so it’s obviously the business. I just wondered, as I was going to invest in a bottle or two. Nice change from the Marston’s Pedigree.
Darling – don’t drink anything expensive –
Try Tesco’s South African Western Cape
Answer came there none…
Oh well, back to the Marston’s!
Got modded trying to tell you what wine I drink. Doesn’t matter.
What is important is that we enjoy blogging.
Even more importantis that we keep highlighting gordon’s inability to consult!
Good Night. God Bless.
Dear Guido – modded twice. !!!!
Please unmod me !!!
I’ll promise you anything..
Except tomorrow I am going to quote David Beetham!!
Nell, what did David Beetham say? He seems to me to be an academic in support of ‘uman rights
Just read the quote from the ayatollah slagging off our great leader. Well at least our tyrant does not hang young girls,boys and gays.
Although he does approve the bombing of civilian populations. Don’t know if gays were involved, but boys and girls certainly.
We just export our violence – then pretend its not us. Out of sight out of mind. Gordo’s as blood thirsty as any other Stalin.
According to the BBC News website today:
QUOTE FROM THE BBC NEWS WEBSITE
Council warns MP couple over home
The Keens face fresh questions over their expenses.
Married Labour MPs Ann and Alan Keen have been given a month to stop their local council repossessing their home 10 miles from the House of Commons.
The pair’s expenses have been in the spotlight after they claimed £137,679 for a second home near Parliament.
In a letter seen by the BBC, Hounslow Council tells the couple “urgent action” is needed to explain why their main home in Brentford is unoccupied.
The Keens have not responded to BBC requests for a comment.
In addition, the Keens are not thought to have responded to the council’s letter, sent last week.
A source at the council – which is run by the Conservatives – told the BBC that the Brentford property had remained empty for seven months.
Andrew Dakers, the Liberal Democrat councillor for the area, who is also its prospective Parliamentary candidate, has told the BBC that the windows at the back of the Keens’ main home were boarded up and that there was paint splashed on the inside of the upstairs windows.
‘Deeply ironic’
If the council does not get a satisfactory response from the Keens, it then has the power to issue an Empty Dwelling Management Order which would allow the council to take possession of the property and bring it back into use.
Such orders became law five years ago in order to give local councils the power to take possession of empty properties and bring them back into use.
The Conservatives’ housing spokesman Grant Shapps said: “It is deeply ironic that the Labour government’s powers to allow the state confiscation of private property will be utilised against absentee Labour members of Parliament.”
The couple’s designated second home is a flat in Waterloo, two stops on the Jubilee underground line from Westminster.
Alan Keen is MP for Feltham and Heston while Ann Keen is MP for neighbouring Brentford and Isleworth.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the couple bought the central London flat in 2002 and have, between them, claimed more than £30,000 towards it in each of the past four years.
The couple told the newspaper that under the second home allowance rules, married MPs were entitled to separately claim for a property that they share and live in together.
UNQUOTE
It is to be hoped that this pair are not going to seek re-election.
I suspect that gordon will pull the rug before we get there.
If the Labour troughers get their main home reposessed for not living in it, thanks to Labour social engineering legislation, that would be quite possibly the funniest thing to happen this year.
What about Uddins’s empty “main home” in sevenoaks. Can someone contact the local council and see why they haven’t acted?
Holloway is having a make over for Keen Uddin & Moran
The Master, let’s hope you’re right. It really needs a few of them to end up in jail. I hope Holloway has some space for these piggies!
The Beiths have done the same, havn’t they?
Is that an EEG recording from Grodos brain?
No!
oi guido why freddie being modded?
Why shouldn’t you be?
The rest of us are!!

Thanks Guido so that’s why nobody bothers to vote at the European Elections it must be the: “8 nation group above the all important 7 nation threshold…” gets em every time..?????.

Plimer is not a “skeptic,” a term which would imply that he merely has a few doubts about the global warming claims. Instead, he rejects the whole myth outright, and this seems to have emboldened and liberated a great many Australians who were already chafing under global warming conformity. As Plimer puts it:
[T]here are a large number of punters [Australian for "customers" or "gamblers"—in this case, skeptical customers who may or may not buy what the government's selling] who object to being treated dismissively as stupid, who do not like being told what to think, who value independence, who resile from personal attacks and have life experiences very different from the urban environmental atheists attempting to impose a new fundamentalist religion. Green politics have taken the place of failed socialism and Western Christianity and impose fear, guilt, penance, and indulgences onto a society with little scientific literacy.
Guido,
You seem to own the only computer that has problems with numbers!
I’m a DB Architect by trade, want me to have a free look at the DB schema and code?
Just stop him spilling guinness on the laptop should solve the problem.
No charge.

Plans to impose pay as you drive charges on every motorist in the country have been killed off by Lord Adonis, the new Transport Secretary.
The plans had been put on hold following a public outcry which saw 1.8 million people sign a petition on the Downing Street website calling for the idea to be scrapped.
——
O/T, but the 1.8 million people who signed the petition against road pricing will breathe a bit easier tonight.
It’s not that we don’t trust Labour here, but can all 1.8 million of us have that in writing Lord Adonis?
BORIS: IT’S TIME TO SCRAP THE CONGESTION CHARGE!
Am I alone in seeing things that I have written on this board appear in MSM papers the very next day?

The Tories should stop attacking Brown on whether he is being honest about spending “cuts” and should start asking him if he understands basic accounting and whether he understands the treasury figures
IF he believes what he says he is obviously a fuckwitt
brown = liar
OR
brown = fuckwitt
OR
brown = lying fuckwitt
I love the way he keeps sayng the Tories are going to cut spending and he’s going to increase it despite the public debt.
I wouldn’t let him have control of my housekeeping.
Morning Folks. Although it doesn’t look as if there is anyone awake yet!
I’m awake.
Brown is a buffoon, he has no idea about pretty much anything.
He shouldn’t even be allowed pocket money, let alone the housekeeping.
You are incorrect.
Brown wants dynamite shoving up his arse and being used as a fucking depth charge on Somali pirates.
If you look at Hansard for 17 June PMQ you will see that Cameron’s 24 June PMQ ‘gotcha’ on capital expenditure is fake, like everything else about the Conservitudes.

Slobberer
Tory troll.
MB, he clearly said that capex would be rising in every year before the Olympics. If he was looking as the 2008 budget he would have been correct – but in the 2009 budget the figures changed dramatically and he’s obviously talking bolleaux.
Broon may be correct about “Front loading” the spending but he clearly said several times that capex spending was going to increase in the next few years when their own figures say it will fall – in other words he’s a liar.

I don’t know if this has been introduced at national level, but in my boroguh Bank Holiday Mondays used to be treated as Sundays in terms of parking restrictions. Without much publicity (no one I’ve spoken knew of this change) they are now regarded as ordinary working days, exposing hapless motorists to tickets, etc.
It’s clearly a revenue-raising ploy rather than anything to do with keeping the traffic moving.
Brown was forced , last night, by the conservatives and libdems to bin his proposal to have taxpayers contribute a further £800,00 per annum into the MP’s pension scheme in order to plug a £51million black hole.
The conservatives said that given that MP’s pension schemes are the most generous in the UK and the British state pension scheme is the worst in the Western world, gordon’s proposal was unacceptable.
Ever thought of giving MP’s a lesser pension gordon?
that’s £800,000!
How much?
While we are all struggling, the public sector is in full swing – Kirklees council have a vacancy for a “Director of Organisation Development”. The salary – £119,000.
Is there anyone in the public sector who actually ‘gets it’??
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5627849/119000-council-job-advert-attacked-for-being-written-in-gobbledegook-and-waffle.html
The ideal candidate must have “cross-functional experience” and play a “key role in ensuring the effective integration of national, regional and local drivers”, the Kirklees Council advert states.
It continues: “The new director of organisation development will face a number of challenges, including making sure: That the diversity of Kirklees is understood by all in the organisation; is valued as a strength but a strength that challenges us to respond to its complex implications; and is reflected in the career structures within the organisation.”
The EU will not allw any group who are there to criticise it, to prosper. The Conservatives should ask UKIP and others to join them or to amalgamate both groupings. Scepticism comes in many guises, those that want to re-negotiate and those that want out. Both however want more power to be given back to sovereign countries.
Makes sense to me Mr cameron.
Despite its name, the European Parliament is not a legislative body. The only real power it has is the power to reject the EU budget and to veto the appointment of members to the Commission, the EU’s executive.
Not mainly. All. Called the West Lothian question.
Why are the english being governed by gordon and his scottish cohorts?
Especially as these scottish idiots have no influence in scotland.
NewGirl what are you doing down here????
Have faith
OK. Do it again. Steve Expat. Have faith!!!
The word wazzock springs to mind.
at least he gets into double figures
All empires by definition are built on evil and repression.The British Empire was no different.It came about by the fear of conquest from Europe,and the desire to maintain our independance.It was the most successful empire in history,and some could argue that it was benificial to the subjugated peoples. The subjugated peoples may argue different. The modern liberal elite are ashamed of this history,and believe that we need to atone for those events,as if Max Mosley or Fred Wests children should apologise for their fathers actions. Indeed did we not see Blair apologising for the iniquities of slavery? What happened in the past is history,but these arseholes are not content to learn from events,but feel the need to make us pay for the lesson.
Respect. This is a near perfect summary of why Zanu hate the British; the English especially.
