Heard an Ex Belgian PM on the telly complaining that Europe had more soldiers than the US. Even worse the british Conservative MEP stood next to him did not point out to the staleless belgian that the EU is NOT a country.
I am more than a tad concerned that our partners on the European continent are increasinly thinking of Europe as a country, especially none countries who have no history.

Last week, the Mayor of London urged David Cameron to give the electorate the chance to say whether Britain should remain part of the EU to “settle the matter”.
However, in an interview with Pienaar’s Politics on BBC Radio 5 Live, Mr Johnson reversed his position, arguing that British influence would be diminished by quitting the EU.
you haven’t the faintest idea.
you are a duffer.
nations are just TAX COLLECTING BORDERS…. nothing else, so yes maybe he’s right?! after all the EU taxes the F£$k out of us
I’m not reading The Star (of David) on Sunday or any other day
Common Purpose founder Julia Middleton is married to Rupert Middleton. A former barrister,he worked at the Industrial Society and was Director of Manufacturing at Trinity Mirror before moving to De La Rue. He is currently President of the British Printing Industry Federation,their website uses the same phraseology as Common Purpose.
In 1997 he was part of the management team that privatised HMSO. He is chairman of Tower Hamlets FE college and a “Graduate” of Common Purpose East London.
Does he print his own money?
You actually want me to ‘read’ the STAR! That could be construed as mental abuse you know…
Brave men and women gave their lives so that you are free to read the paper of your choice with the point of view of your choice. Are you a labour Councillor or brian Leveson?

Brave men, women and tranthgendered people fought and died for our freedom and thelf-determination, and the betht way to pretherve what they did ith to have ever-clother EU integration and make thertain that the Britith people do not have an EU referendum under any thircumthtantheth.

You are quite right Fluffy. If the local authority knew that you were a ‘Star’ reader, the Local Authority would send the child catchers round and put your kids in care.
The ‘safeguarding’ mob will be speaking to returning officers next to check-up on the way you last voted.
>speaking to returning officers next to check-up on the way you last voted.
By no means a joke. Why do you think ballot papers are numbered, the numbers tallying with your entry on the electoral roll? I’ve asked the clerks about this more than once and never get a sensible answer, but there can only be one reason for it.
This is a huge worry to me as well. The solution I’ve come up with is to actually put my name on the ballot paper as THE UKIP CANDIDATE.
yep.
i will sup.port.
As an ex-Presiding Officer (that’s the one in the Polling Station who writes the roll number on the stub and then hands the slip to you), I can advise that we were always told that this was so that a voter who wrote something on the slip that was “so” bad, could be traced. I always found this explanation absolutely pathetic, and rather sinister.
It’s probably safe to assume our voting records are indeed being monitored on the quiet.
I too have asked why this might be – the answer was as vague as possibe,,,,.
Only those with something to hide want to ban the free press.
is the vote worth it,
is the vote worth when many died for it,
is the vote worth it,
in a world of make belief ppl die. get real.
ppl are showing indifference.

why vote.
our power lies in our sympathy when the rulers lose us, they lose everything they are weak weak weak.
Today I gave a speech to the financial world (for just £100k cash plus first class travel and 5star expenses – slumming it because it’s something I really want) explaining why we have to stay in the EU and provide me and my family with future revenue streams.
Don’t you peasants get any ideas about voting for UKIP or we’ll have your children taken away. I modernised your awful little country and rubbed your noses in it while I had a decade of open door immigration yet you still haven’t learnt that it’s not your country any more.

How’s the Chilcott whitewash coming along there Tony?
There is no need to publish “Chilcot” as the outcome and findings are already well known. The fact is that had not the Tory Party supported the war and marched through the government lobbies then the saintly Mr Bliar would have not had to have committed British Forces to an “illegal war”. The fact that the Tory Party actually believed that Saddam had WMD and that they were wthin 45 minutes range of British cities shows the gullibility of that party and their total unsuitability to govern in the national interest……….Mr Bliar’s reputation comes out the whole episode unscathed and he is truly one of the greatest UK Prime Ministers of the late 20th and early 21st Century

and then The End…that’s all folks.
It is claimed that it is scientific fact that that if you stay silent for 48 minutes, and just observe yourself, you will reach the same state of bliss.
so be still.
Were Labour MPs equally gullable when they, too, accepted those “facts” and marched into the same lobby, thus showing that they are no more suited to govern than the Tories, if your argument is to be accepted. Conversely, were they aware that there were no missiles and that the 45 minute deployment claim was a lot of tosh but then cynically went into that lobby anyway?

No children are to placed in any homes where the parents read the Daily Star Sunday. Seeing naked breasts may warp these children into all kinds of sexual practices which we know are not now taking place in Rotherham. Not to mention all the anti-everybody-but-me bigotry in the Guido Fawkes column.
In solidarity with my progressive Hamas comrades, I think young girls in Rotherham should be fostered by good Muslims who will genitally mutilate their adoptive daughters and ban them from going to school.
Owen, shouldn’t you be brushing the dandruff off your blazer and polishing your shoes? You know you have school tomorrow.
The only education I need is in the pages of Das Kapital and the Holy Qu’ran. I’m particularly impressed with the latter’s progressive policies towards sexual equality.
Particularly 4:34, “Men are the maintainers of women.. the good women are therefore obedient.”
And 38:44, if your wife is disobedient, “take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it.”
I hope when he become Prime Minister, Ed puts these wise progressive ideas into law.
The brain-washing has worked extremely well. Piss be upon you, Owned.
Owen, duck, presumably as a rabid supporter of you know who, may we take it as a given that you too have had your genital “mutilated” as per the rules? I overhear that it makes entryism easier.

Yes,but what does that have to do with Boris’s lovely buses and a fugly mush?
We must not shackle the press.If they write lies about us we are free to sue them under the libel laws. Simple. All you need is around £1m to hire lawyers to sue them. This is freedom. If you are a pleb who doesnt have £1m.well fuck you. Don’t worry Levesons a lawyer and will look after his own. Murdoch will aleady have slipped him a few bob on top of what Cameron ordered the taxpayers to give him.

You really do have to dig a little deeper into the origins and purpose of the EU other than what is portrayed by the MSM to understand what really is “in play” on the Europe question.
When the EU Project began after WWII as a part of The Marshall Plan, and right through to 1989, Europe was the USA’s bulwark against statism in the guise of the USSR and Warsaw Pact. It was Libertarian project. Even so, European nations had far more mixed economies in the 60s through 80s than today. Now it has members of the Warsaw Pact as members, and since 1989 it seems to have moved increasingly towards an ever more rapacious Libertarianism which now threatens to destroy it much as it seems to have economically and socially destroyed the USA. Either that or it’s been a very elaborate contrivance.
If the ECB is used to establish fiscal union it is hard to see how matters can possibly get any better as it will surely just become even more like the USA, and probably worse. Is the USA economically and socially improving? Is it still respected across the world? No. Why would Europe improve under the same system? is it not more likely that Europe’s resources would just be siphoned off to the USA, thus making Europe even less competitive? Does anyone believe that those in the USA have Europe’s interests at heart? They just seem to care about their own interests, that’s in the nature of Libertarianism surely?
this is heavy duty.
if the essence is that the US is out to feck us. then who can argue. golden rule… the man with the gold rules. now that the west is bust….
old certainities are dead.
Wow, whatever you’re taking. You need to stop. You’re obviously living in a mirror reality where regulation = freedom, a customs cartel is free trade and tax = wealth.
If you think the EUSSRs main problem is too much freedom you’re really on some good whacky.
alternative reality is interesting.
truth is better,
acceptance of truth is best. it is brutal but when holistically looked at, it becomes kind.

At least in Doo-Rag’s case he was born in England. KP is a Saffir ringer. But we can understand in his case why he can’t play for the RSA– they need to have “Indo’s” in their side (Indigenous and/or Indian), and a half-Englishman can qualify elsewhere. Multi-cultural diversity in “Jay-Zee’s Rainbow Nation” (not to be confused with the “Rainbow Flag,” a different sort of diversity altogether) and all that, you understand.
Absolutely but the UK press was all anti KP. Now they are licking his arse. KP was screwed by NATAL home of the corrupt and useless Z. Still he may just be sacked next week.

Maybe if she wasn’t drowning her sorrows, she wouldn’t be so morose and prone to clinical depression. So here goes: Why don’t they put her in an alcohol rehab for a custodial part of her “treatment,” per court order, and then afterwards they can come around for random checks of her breath and urine during her “care in the community” phase? Someone who has beat the rap as far as prison time goes can hardly object to a mandated therapeutic environment (and follow-up) to treat her condition, can she?
And by the way, Mag old gal, hold onto your pounds and pence– there’s still a matter of 53K to be repaid and we wouldn’t want you pissing it all away on piss-ups, you should pardon the expression.

I see the minimum unit price for alcohol has reared its head again
last week we were butfucked by the power companies with their annual 20% rise on bills , then just as we were coming to terms with that the theiving bastard politicians shafted us with another £100 per year green energy subsidy
The only pleasure left to most is to drink to take your mind off mounting debts and reduced income , and yet again these greedy fucking low life scum who’s booze we subsidise , see yet another way to squeeze the long suffering public
I wish a large dose of Aids to each and every one of them
Scotland tried that one recently but it didn’t get off the ground.
A bit like the Buckfast drinkers.
Let them raise the age for purchasing alcohol to 21 … if they are truly serious about changing attitudes to alcohol
If they don’t like people drinking alcohol they could try legalising cannabis. I would certainly consider it as an alternative if it were legal.
Brew your own and deny them the duty. Doesn’t take long, 25p per pint/20p per bottle of wine.
I find the alcohol content in most home-made booze is quite a lot higher than in the stuff they sell in the shops

I notice our media are doing the usual knicker wetting over the little bit of flooding that’s gone on once again.
Anyone would think Noah needs to build an ark the way they are over reacting. Of course the BBC is blaming the Tories (in power for just over 2 years) and not Labour (in power for 13 years) for the lack of flood defences.
Here’s a thought. Stop building houses in flood plain land or if you insist on building there, build the houses up on stilts.
Good point. Far too much gets built on flood plains. Anyone with an ‘o’ level in geography should be able to see the obvious risks but greed overcomes common sense nearly every time.
Much of the eastern end of London is built on the present flood plain of the Thames. But it’s not just the ground level that is the problem. The ground is increasingly being covered with tarmac and concrete, which buggers up the already frail natural drainage system. Even events at household level, such as people concreting front gardens to park their cars, or building patios over the gardens at the back, reduce drainage and encourage floods.
The Thames has been made more prone to flooding in this area by building the Embankment in central London, which throws the incoming tidal flow on to the marshes downstream, and then building over these marshes, which destroys their ability to mop up incoming water.
That said, in the long view most of London is on a flood plain. To the north of the Thames, successive flood plains of the Thames dating from the end of the last ice age extend the whole way to Swiss Cottage, at the foot of the steep slope up to Hampstead. As the ancient mega-river Thames, filled by meltwater from glaciers, gradually shrank to its present size, the flood plains got lower and lower.
Is tha
Is that why the hedgies and private equity asset strippers all live in Hampstead?
Or do they just like being near Lord Cashpoint and Empty Eddy Millichild?
And guess where the Olympic village was built?
Aye. Good post. The geological maps available online are fascinating, and show rather more flood plain that most people expect.
When you stand on the flood bank of my local river today, with the level only 3ft below the top, you can see literally tens of square miles of land below. One day it will all become a monstrous lake.
People have been building in silly places and trying to drain the land here since the Romans, so this risk is nothing new.
The difference is that back then people probably knew the risks, and decided that the benefits (good arable land) outweighed them. Today, people don’t always know the risks, and don’t accept the consequences.
+ good.
all points good,
we fecking do not know the ground we stand on.
ground erosion lies behind the shit we stand on. we need to think like a builder. a proper one. stress test one step at a time.
The stupid Conservative idiot in charge of the toilets blamed Global warming, no doubt he is requesting more taxes to show how he build a seat that will stop the water and tides, I just give up, you can’t argue with idiots.
But but but… didn’t Gordo Superbrown and his snake-like COBRA sort all this out over a wet weekend a few years ago?
Or was he just telling a few fibs? Now, why would anyone who knows they will not be able to get flood insurance even contemplate buying a place built in a flood plain? Let the stupid builders take the hit.
You make a very salient point about both flood defences and building on the flood plains and are totally correct.
The thing that is a no brainer though is that this phenomenon has been occurring every year for at least the past decade and yet neither national government nor local government are committing to the scale of flood defences required throughout the country but prefer to keep encouraging the building of thousands of new houses on the flood plain. If they are actually wanting to encourage growth in the economy and create hundreds of new jobs then a how about a national flood defence building scheme and stop building houses until adequate flood defences are in place ?? Several towns in the Severn and Avon areas have been flooded out every year since 2000 and sometimes twice.People get sorted out from the last inundation to find that they are flooded out again. If they are lucky to get flood insurance their premiums stretch into thousands
The situation is further exacerbated by local councils not clearing culverts,gullies and drains(when was the last time you saw a drain cleaning lorry down your street ?)which means that flood drains become blocked with debris. In fact you can drive down some roads and see weeds growing out of the drains.
It’s no good keep banging on about global warming we have had a decade to do something about it and both Labour;Conservative and LibDem Councils plus national Labour government and Coalition have done fuck all about it. As for predictions we even had some idiots in March predicting a drought and bringing in water rationing
Instead of hyperventillating about bloody Leveson and press freedom(which the public don’t give a fuck about) efforts would be better concentrated on protecting the country from flooding
Cleaning out gullies and culverts is the kind of useful, rehabilitative activity that prisoners could have a go at doing.
this is very good.
flooding seems another subject that will emerge. what is happening to this country? is the outer just revealing our inner blocks. water….like emotions…need to flow,,,,and need to be managed, correctly.
If I were still alive, I’d be telling you, and the people in New Orleans, and the people in certain parts of New York City:
“You live in a flood plain– MOVE!”
Do not forget…….. it is soooo cooltural to groom white girls
The only culture Mu551es have is lassi.
What, they groom dogs as well?
I thought I was the only one allowed to take the rap on paedo grooming…cos I was white!
i was white.
you were so ficcckin dark.

making fun of paedophilia, and the north and other naughtiness. You wait for one indiscreet labour tweeter and 4 come along at once!
In the 60,s and 70,s,in the shire i lived in,agricultural land was drained ,and big drainage machines,would lay networks of pipes across the land.Ditches were maintained and drains cleared.Since that time,more concrete and tarmac has covered large swathes of our lands,and,no doubt,we are getting more rainfall.
Not a solution,just fact.The thames barrier is flood defence,who built that?
Finally,what a cockup in Kempsey,a pump didn,t work.Where was the telemetry or warning alarms.?.
Have you been at the Benedictine?
Or, indeed, the Buckfast?
Interesting language – but I don’t think it’ll ever replace English.
Old English was brought here in the 5th century,by tribes from northern Germany.Angles,saxons and jutes,.Related languages,O.E.,Old Frisian,Old Saxon,Old primitive German plusOld Danish and Norse,as well as Latin and Greek,all add to the”Etymology”,of our English Language.
(some of that extracted from Universal Dictionary Of The English Language.)
do all languages originate from sanskrit?
No
Sanskrit is a highly inflected language with three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) and three numbers (singular, plural, dual).
there is some gold nuggets there.
we have a male and female side.
we are singular. the world is plural. our key relationship is with a significant other.
Arabic is a bit like that. Some say there are 14 (or is it 18?) types of ‘plural’ – ie more than one) in that language.
We must celebrate the benefits of the EU and of multiculturalism.
the last time I called Downing Street, they were on an answering machine
“The PM is in Chipping Norton
His missus is inspecting her windmills and new clothes
So guacomole to the Press. Love Dave”
but is it for the social good?
out of EU. close the borders. no more migration in. let’s make the best of what we have.
It is essential we stay at the heart of the EU. I look forward to well paid jobs not only for me and Cherie but also for my children and grandchildren.
The eussr is bigger than b liar, cameron, milliionairband, von rumpy, or anything any one nation state can throw at it. It’s a very long term project and there is no turning back the clock. Just look at what has hppened in Greece.
1 curency
1 system
1 size fits all.
Our only hope is to get out while there is still a very slim chance to go.
correct. the chAnce is not slim. The chance is vast. if the nation wants it, it will happen. vote or no vote.
we must show gratitude. inappropriate brown …. we would be in eu full and proper were it not for him.
Correction
One size for all (that fits none)
your get rich schemes,
are so past it,
I am placing this in the public domain.
With the news that another UKIP supporter was banned from looking after children, this time by the charity Barnados on wonders how long it will be before UKIP sympathisers will have to have a number tattooed on their forearms.
—- Nigel Farage, UKIP leader, condemned ‘another appalling case of discrimination’ after former district nurse Anne Murgatroyd said she had been prevented from volunteering as a mentor for young adults by leading children’s charity Barnardo’s.
Ms Murgatroyd, a mother of three, claims she told the charity of her political affiliation and was told it would ‘not be appropriate’ for her to perform the role, which involves supporting children coming out of the care system, because UKIP ‘opposes multi-culturalism’. —-
Barnardo’s have plenty of Fabian blood on their hands.
It’s many years since I donated any money to Barnado’s (why donate money to charity when so much of our money is confiscated as tax and given to fake charities such as Barnados in the first place?)
But, one wonders, will the subhuman scum who run Barnados still allow radical muzzie filth to mentor children? The same subhuman muzzie filth who subject their daughters to genital mutilation and who seek to kill homosexuals?
Prompt clarification from Barnados would be welcome.
write to them.
FOI request.
all in the public domain.
hope barnados are not enjoying the loot in a suit in Barbados.
Dead right – time they were properly outed. Next half-term project for Guido’s little helpers?
I hate everything.

And stop complaining
Here we go again with Lord “Ethics” Mandelson
Since he became a “Senior Advisor” to Lazards
June publication
“LAZARD GLOBAL CONVERTIBLES PLUS FUND
$● (● Units) Maximum
$10.00 per Unit
The return of Lazard Global Convertibles Plus Fund (the “Fund”), by virtue of the Forward Agreement (as defined herein), will be based on the return of Lazard Global Convertibles Plus Corp. (the “Reference Fund”), an exempted
company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands”
So off we go to the Caymans again….this time with bagman “ethics” Mandy
Oh so very predictable
Who is the predator Eddy Boy?
man….delboy….son.
when boys are running the show.
when the ethics of delboy rules.
“exempted” from what, exactly?
Farage vs Cammoron.
That is one I would like to see,farage would wipe the floor with the PR tosspot,as he would with Red Eddy Millitwit,and EuroCleggy would’nt stand a chance.
Unfettered immigration into this country has caused enormous damage and continues to do so.
As a small country we do get to a saturation point as to what we can absorb re: infrastructure etc etc.
Why then is it so called racist in that we cannot speak out about the political system that foisted this disaster upon this land for political gain.
The mainstream politico’s should focus their minds on governing for UK which is what they were elected to do by the people.
The people put you in to do the right thing but instead they see the country hitting the buffers.
The people will rebel I can assure you,it is happening right now slowly but surely as you will see.
Farage needs to direct his anger at Labour and the Common Purpose “graduates” who are running local authorities,children’s services and certain charities.
Attacking Cameron is a distraction and just plays into their hands.
The one plonker begging to be gone after
Is Dave – and do try to spare us the laughter
Nobody forced him to be Prime Minister
And if Common Purpose is as sinister
As it has been painted both here and elsewhere
Then he has an absolute duty of care
To smash this threat to very foundation
Of democracy in our – and his – nation
>Why then is it so called racist
To shout down those who oppose it.
Remember immigration = Higher rents + lower wages. Bad for your average person, good for the rent-seeking classes.

Have you seen this lovely background to set the decor for the new Archbishop of Canterbury ?

Our Old Etonian Justin is the son of a bootlegger FFS
And his grandfather was a German j…sh immigrant…
His step father is also a Labour Life Peer
So he really covers the spectrum….
Hardly surprising he wants female Bishops I says…
Has he been at the communion wine jug again?
“We’ll have no bashing the Bishop on this blog,” said the actress…

cantebeey chap…..son of alcoholly.
son of alcoholly. is holy?
we must be out or our thin minds.
The only comments that should be on these pages right now should be about Rotherham and that awful PC woman Common Purpose bitch.
Common Purpose are a pernicious influence on British society and thrive on subverting democratic processes. Much more investigation into their “graduates” roles, funding of the organisation and it’s links with other groups is urgently needed.
The BBC, it’s print arm, The Guardian and the amazingly wonderfully competent Institute of Investigative Journalislime (who I thought the BBC had broken from) are trumpeting their next joint venture, this time into overseas tax havens and phoney directors.
BBC’s Paranormal have unearthed some ‘shocking stuff’ (perhaps it’ll be about the Guardian’s overseas tax affairs or the Guardian getting the Millie Dowler thing wrong…or about the Guardian’s school of phone hacking).
No doubt lawyers all over the world are sharpening their pixels and Fatty Pang is reaching for his file marked, ‘Director General – Further Candidates’.
The BBC will have got this right? Right? If not it’ll be the death of them….ho ho ho!
They needn’t have gone to all that trouble, they could have just asked around the NN studio. Or rang up Hodger’s, or Bushburger I’m sure she and he knows how it’s done.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
BBC and the Guardian, The Twin Towers of Democracy, ho! ho! ho!, laugh?, thought I’d never start.
The Scottish Parliament STINKS.

My house was cheap because it was built on a flood plain. I demand that “The Government” spends a fortune on flood defences, and making water flow uphill.
“Downing Street infuriated the party further by clarifying this weekend that not all Ukip members are racist.

Old Rupee has had a Cayman Islands company which he has used over the decades to suck money from HMRC – its called ‘Ordinto’ and it has been mentioned in published books – which haven’t yet been burned – eh Rupee!
hoard.into
Dear Daft Conspirazoid with limited powers of logic,
He prevented money from being sucked into HMRC, not the other way around.
So, in light of what I wrote above about the EU being a Libertarian inspired project, Boris’ u-turn on an un-out referendum rather falls into place with that analysis.
But, who were the ones behind the Morganthau and Marshall plans that lead to the forming of EU and what part did Harry Dexter White play in it?
