  1. Wilf I think the tories conned the british public with austerity packages. No other country bore down on the poor and the disabled like the tories did, meanwhile the rich got a lot richer. In Iceland they imprisoned some of their bankers for their part in the crisis. We let our lot carry on taking the piss. British workers still haven't recovered the same living standards as they had before the banking crisis, no other country is in that state. Corbyn I grant you is a bit of a wanker, but I think he is basically a decent man. Politics isn't a case of black and white. I genuinly believe i
  2. In one of his Spectator columns Johnstone described working class men as "drunk, criminal, aimless, feckless and hopeless and perhaps claiming to suffer from low self esteem because of unemployment'. His arrogance is breathtaking. This is a man who described his £250000 annual fee for writing a weekly column in The Spectator as "chickenfeed". His £145000 cabinet members salary as "inadequate'. When informed that the Confederation of British Industries were terrified at his chaotic brexit plans. He said "f**k business". That's your jobs and small businesses lads! This is a man who was sack
  3. Yes a lot of greyhound blood in those deerhounds.
  4. My head says Joshua. My heart and love of the underdog says Ruiz.
  5. Bill Doherty used to course with his Doxhope deerhounds. I'm sure he stated that some of his dogs could take brown hare. Be interesting to know if he has any footage or photographs.
  6. Competitive coursing is like alcohol, it brings the worst out in some people. People even go apeshit at lurcher shows if the result goes against them. All three are best avoided if they bring out the worst in you.
  7. That all sounds familiar. Unfortunately we once told the bookie our dog wasn't "trying". We ran him behind a mini van on the sands to tire him and fed him loads of tripe. We thought that would slow him down big time. Damn me the bugger won the race! The bookie thought we had double crossed him and was literally after our blood.? Took a lot of diplomacy to get back to normal with him.?
  8. Do you think AJ was keen to fight on or did he want out of the fight? I've watched it a few times and I'm not sure.
  9. Personally I'd like to see the little fat fella put AJ on his arse again. It was the size of the fight in the dog and not the size of the dog which gave us the last result. AJ has to prove this time that he's not another Mike Tyson, good at handing out punishment but not so mentally strong when the game plan backfires. Anyway, Ruiz seems a cracking family bloke who comes to fight and give his all. Bit of a throwback to the old fashioned heavyweights. Go on my son!
  10. Yes you have made the qualifying rules very clear. I understand that jobs in France come with pension entitlements just as many public and private sector jobs in the uk. The state pension in the uk is a flat rate pension but is paid pro rata according to the number of qualifying years. You don't receive it as a freebie. It is also paid at 67 years of age, whereas in France the state pension age has recently gone up to 62. Pensioner poverty in the uk is mainly caused by retirees who have little or no pension entitlement because they worked in jobs which provided no pension. This is scandal
  11. No, I said I did not understand you. I will ask you again. Please keep the debate civil.
  12. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/02/retirees-in-these-countries-receive-100-of-a-working-salary/
  13. I don't understand you NP. I'm not into point scoring and insisting on the last word. You win. I'm having a dram and going to bed. Good night.
  14. Good point fellow chuckle brother, but in the past Russian involvement only involved a few dodgy MPs an odd whore like Christine Keeler shagging the defence minister and a ruskie. Influencing the way people vote and think by the internet is a lot more sinister. Let's see what the report says. I may be a complete red herring ( no pun intended).
  15. And further..... if Wilf and myself can reach a " chuckle brothers" relationship on here I am sure there is hope for you NP.
  16. 1I think you are very unfair. You are presupposing what my opinions are. I have never called anybody bigoted for exercising their democratic right. I fully accept flooding a country with 3 million immigrants with no extra infrastructure is completely bonkers.I do know, that meddling illegally in another country's internal political procedures is definitely not diplomacy. I like to see a fair playing field. I think you are very quick to defend the indefensible. When I pointed out that the UK pension was one of the lowest in the OECD. You pointed out that one needs 42 qualifying years to gain
  17. I hope you are right NP. It will be interesting to peruse the report into Russian involvement in Brexit which was due to be published in October but which has been withheld from the British public until after the election.
  18. NP they are not my allegations or insinuations, they are all in the public domain. I think there are legitimate concerns about the man whatever one's political beliefs. I was surprised you dismissed the FBI's interest in him. Concern about Russia's involvement in both brexit and the US election is an ongoing, real and genuine concern felt by supporters of true democracy on both sides of the Atlantic. The Russians have a vested interest in the UK leaving the EU, Putin is an on record supporting brexit. Farage worries me, he's dodgy. Lots of people are saying 'move along, there's nothing to se
  19. Dido I don't know what Corbyn and Abbot have said, I'm not a Labour Party member. However anybody legally living here, who has citizenship should surely be entitled to a vote. If by kids you mean sixteen year olds, then, again I would agree they should be given the vote. I don't see how Corbyn or Abbot could support free movement if and when brexit finally happens. That would be impossible. Does that qualify for the fifty quid?
  20. Agreed free movement will stay if there is a second referendum and remain wins, but that's always been part of the deal for remaining in the EU. IMO that's at the heart of the EU argument.
  21. 10 pages long this thread and not one personal insult aimed at anybody. A THL record.
  22. Bob just because the poster states that it is real does not make it real. I've just read the manifesto none of that 'fake news' stuff is in it. In any case the pressure group "labour for free movement" is only a fringe Labour party pressure group it does not write Labour Party policy. I clicked on to "Labour for free movement" and that poster you show is not present there.
  23. Nicepix I think you must have been a good cop.? A bad cop would ask Farage the following questions: 1) In 2008 why was he the only MEP to remain seated in The European Parliament when Prince Charles delivered a speech encouraging international cooperation on climate change policies? Does he have "dirty industry" financial backing? 2) If he hates the European Parliament so much why has he taken £2 million in wages from them? 3) Can he name anything positive he contributed to the European Parliament? 4) Why did he fail to declare £205603 in gifts during his time in the Europ
