QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Jul 10 2019, 09:42 AM) Sign of the times. Just remember for an incompetent politician to reach office it requires an equally obtuse electorate to support them. Even Putin is liked within Russia so learn to live with what comes along. When the icecap melts, the amazon rainforest is destroyed and food is about as rare as a faberge egg in a junk shop it won't make any difference to who is in charge, we will all perish. Smile, things could be worse (so I did and they were!) |

QUOTE (newres @ Jul 5 2019, 11:14 AM) Think it through. If we charge, they will charge. Inflationary. Goods will go up in price already. They already do. Carnets for certain countries, toll roads in others. All charging would do is level the playing field a little. |

QUOTE (newres @ Jun 30 2019, 01:30 PM) There’s no personal data on here. TDH is being TDH. Wrong. I don't think you know what "personal data" defines. Your username/password are stored; otherwise you couldn't log on! You gave a real-world, active email address (and other data) when you first signed up and you may have created a profile. Your IP address (and probably MAC address) will be stored. Your posts are stored. Under current data protection regulation, you have a right to be forgotten; which means all your posts/login/etc. have to be deleted |

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 22 2019, 12:47 PM) It will stop people getting vicarious pleasure from it or children seeing it. I remember a work colleague watched the Ken Bigley murder video as an act of bravado and was very upset by it. In my opinion particularly as the person filmed it in order to live stream, extra effort should be made to get rid of it wherever it appears. Just like the executions of Westerners. Perhaps older children need to see this sort of thing. It may help them understand that real life doesn't have a Restart key, unlike their virtual reality games |

QUOTE (Phil_D11102 @ Mar 21 2019, 08:34 AM) Don't drink the kool aid..
You think that correcting my grammar will impact the message. NO!!!
I bet your one of these people who hide behind their keyboards. The fact is people were illegally camping, and caused damaged.
If you would to do that, what would happen? Your sorry *** would be thrown into jail.
I have empathy for their lifestyle, and support that there should be locations set aside where they can go, but if they go someplace that impacts the greater community, then no empathy here.
Is mugs like me, and possibly you, who pay their fair share and now have to pay the extra to fix their mess.
The council and police should work together. Clamp all their **** vehicles and don't release them until they pay a fine and go. Firstly. I was correcting your spelling; not your grammar. I do not simply hide behind a keyboard; any more than any other posters on the forums. In fact, I would have no strong objections to illegal encampments like this being cleared by dogs (and maybe flame throwers to disinfect the site at the same time) with all vehicles seized and crushed. |

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 15 2019, 07:20 PM) Only a matter of time, they'll all be doing it now. I've said it before and I'll say it again, soschul meedja is a curse. I agree about your comment regarding social media. However, I also tend to believe that as an adult, I should decide what I do or do not watch on any media. I am not a believer is censorship by "authorities". Whether or not I want to see people being killed in (or near) live time should be a matter for me. Perhaps if more people saw the raw and bloody footage of killing in wars, we might have a few less people so willing to commit troops to places like Iraq |

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 20 2019, 06:41 PM) Unfortunately no one agrees with you except rabid leavers.
So are we just going to let goods through at our ports? That's what tariff free means. There would be no more requirement to check than exists at present Just to be clear, I am (and voted) pro-Brexit but I have never been rabid |

QUOTE (newres @ Mar 17 2019, 06:37 PM) If we just walked everything leaving our ports would need to be checked, we’d have no aircraft arrangements, we’d have a huge gulf in our security, we’d have no trade arrangements with non EU countries and so on. If you can’t see the impact of that then you aren’t very bright. I’m assuming however that you’re simply fooling about. Fortunately idiots on Facebook and other social media outlets aren’t in control. Absolute rubbish. The only additional checking at ports will be if the EU so demands it on entry to the EU. Calais have said they are already ready for this. Aircraft movements would not cease - this myth was put to bed months ago. It is the EU that would have a huge gulf in its security as they would no longer have access to our 5 eyes intelligence. Our security is comparatively easy - we are an island! We already have trade agreements with non-EU countries; these would be rolled over (as Liam Fox is currently doing) or negated by tariff free WTO terms. Of course they will be an impact - otherwise why bother leaving at all. But I believe that it's a positive impact in the long term |

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Feb 23 2019, 07:40 PM) 33 days.🤣 tickety toc.. so funny. Anyone for getting these poor misunderstood Isis wives back?. Surely they deserve a free house, benefits and free psychiatric help? Poor souls..These right wingers are evil. I Mean it's not like the Royal Navy rescued some poor soul called Salman Abedi. He repaid us in kind, if memory serves me right... They should all be introduced to the twins Heckler & Koch. And in an age of austerity, perhaps we should copy the Chinese and send the family the bill for the 9mm round... |

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Feb 10 2019, 12:09 PM) It's not nonsense sonny, after the war Germany was rebuilt, primarily by us, we poured money into the country in a humanitarian effort because we didn't want it to be a perpetual basket case. Strangely, my recollection is more of the Marshall Plan and loads of US monies. I will concede that Volkswagen grew out of the ashes of the war due to the foresight of a British Major at the time. |

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jan 4 2019, 01:01 PM) Don't worry comrade Corbyn is going to "end" homelessness. I guess he is going to have kidnap squads for the ones that choose to live on the streets and turn down offers of help! Don't be silly; this simply not the Hard Left way. Homelessness will be redefined in "Newspeak" and thus be got rid of at the stroke of a pen |
