They want access to the single market, this in spite of the fact that we actually buy more from EU countries than they buy from us.
Let us get right out...not one foot in and one foot out...but totally completely out of it.
We share a house with 27 other lodgers, but pay half of the rent...that is the main reason they do not want us to leave and Labour would show their hand of cards before they get to the table.
This is clearly not what was voted for at the referendum. But of course these elite politicians believe that they know what is best for us.
Have to disagree Margaret. they know whats best for themselves not us.

Yes, we both KNOW that, but they believe we are too dense and I'll informed to determine what is good for us.
Not really too different from what is happening in France.
The people are being hoodwinked by their politicians too.
They have a choice. They can vote for someone who is not in the mould of previous administrations, or they can keep to the status quo and nothing will change for the better.

We have a choice too on the 8th of June. We can vote for someone who will take us right out of the mess that is the EU, or we can vote for the banner not the man (the man is clearly not fit to lead) and get a government which will do what other Labour governments have done.( they may need coalition help to do this, which will hamper their proposals)They will spend silly money that they have not got, with no ideas as to how to get it...they will borrow money that our children will spend their lives paying for.
So we are (almost) in the same boat.

Oh deary me, the poor little frogling "flocon de neiges" aren't happy bunnies! They don't like the options on offer so are going to boycott the vote ...... hmm, sounds vaguely familiar somehow.

Re: General Election called

The media are full of criticism of Keir Starmer and his shambolic speech.
This is the 'would be' leader of the Labour Party.
He is also the Shadow secretary for Brexit, and yet he wants to keep the single market, but says they will curb free movement of people. So he wants to be in the EU and out of the EU at the same time. How will that work?
And does he know how daft it sounds.
This is something I commented on yesterday(are the journalists picking my brains - no, of course they aren't). I do not reckon I am particularly smart, but if I can see how daft it all is why can't those in the political parties?

Re: General Election called

Cashy, you are right, but they treat us like we haven't a brain to bless ourselves with.
They have a lot of highflown ideas(and some of them would be very good if they could tell us how they would be funded) but not a lot of common sense.
Are they seriously thinking we will swallow this garbage.
They talk about Theresa May being unreliable because she changed her mind about calling an election.
She changed her mind because the circumstances changed.
If you were the Captain of a ship and you saw a huge iceberg heading right for you...you would change your direction of travel(well, you would if you had an ounce of sense).
So many people were telling her that she did not have a mandate for this...did not have a mandate for that, she was not elected. this was not in the manifesto.
The only way these critics will be silenced is if she goes to the country and asks them if they trust her to get us out of Europe(so far I do - she has brooked no interference from those who would thwart the will of the people, even though she said she was a 'remainer').
This is the only way it can be settled.
If by some chance Labour get into power we are all stuffed!

This is like Joseph Hellers Catch 22.
If you can determine you are dumb, then you aren't really dumb.
It is those who are dumb, but think they are smart who are the really dumb ones

Labour & SNP mad mohammedans kicking off & playing the race/religion card because they know they're on their way to a damn good hiding in the elections. How very predictable to say the least!

To be fair, I don't suppose we'll be likely to have an election on 25th of December that is a bank holiday and all us bankers will be nissed as a prat.

Re: General Election called

Thing is Less it runs for a Month, Christmas is just a day, on top of that they're expected to carry on as normal except for filling their faces with Kebab during the day.

Seems it's just the followers of the great sky pixie on his unicorn once again trying to subjugate the British way of life to suit their plans for world domination.

Ramadan: A Month of Fasting and Introspection

Ramadan is the ninth month of the 12-month Islamic calendar, which is lunar and based on the phases of the moon. The lunar calendar falls short of the solar calendar by 11 days. As a result, Ramadan doesn’t start on the same date each year and instead passes through all the seasons. Ramadan is celebrated as the month during which Muhammad received the initial revelations of what became the Quran.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk each day. They are supposed to avoid eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activity, as well as unkind or impure thoughts and words, and immoral behavior. Ramadan is a time to practice self-restraint and self-reflection. Fasting is seen as a way to cleanse the soul and have empathy for those in the world who are hungry and less fortunate. Muslims go to work and school and take care of their usual activities during Ramadan; however, some also read the entire Quran, say special prayers and attend mosques more frequently during this time.
All Muslims who have reached puberty and are in good health are required to fast. The sick and elderly, along with travelers, pregnant women and those who are nursing are exempt, although they are supposed to make up for the missed fast days sometime in the future or help feed the poor.
The first pre-dawn meal of the day during Ramadan is called “suhoor.” Each day’s fast is broken with a meal known as “iftar.” Traditionally, a date is eaten to break the fast. Iftars are often elaborate feasts celebrated with family and friends. The types of foods served vary according to culture.
