Bruce Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Extreme bureaucracy is way worse than Thalidomide ever was and the EU is too bureaucratic by far. The remaining German glider manufacturers complain bitterly about it. But I wonder just what the poms are going to export to pay for all the asian cars and the Australian meat. TV shows?
old man emu Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I wonder just what the poms are going to export to pay for all the asian cars and the Australian meat. TV shows? I don't think that anyone with a modicum of common sense would deny that the first five years post BE (Britain's Exit) will be trying times as Britain kick starts an economy that is not Euro-centric. However, I'm sure that there are many opportunities available in the 2010's that were not around in the 1960's. Perhaps the British Bulldog has remembered the tricks it learned before it became a Common Market cur. OME
Yenn Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Stay in or leave if Britains government is anything like ours, the country will be stuffed. What all countries need is politicians ready to look after their country, rather than brown nose the rest of the world. Just one little item mentioned on this forum. Antiobiotic resistant bugs. When I went to Agricultural college in 1951, we were told not to use penicillin indiscriminately, because the bugs would build resistance. World governments of all persuasions have allowed pharmaceutical companies to sell antiobiotics with no restraint, so the superbugs are really the product of bad governmrnt. Britain used to be a thriving place (until I left) then all its industries seemed to collapse. Do you ever see a British car on the streets in the UK?

willedoo Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 THAT. . . . . . is a risk some of us are prepared to take. Regaining sovereignty will always cost. You can give it away, but you'll always have to pay to get it back, whether in blood or money. It all comes down to how much the majority of U.K. citizens value it.

Britain used to be a thriving place (until I left) then all its industries seemed to collapse. Do you ever see a British car on the streets in the UK? I work in manufacturing / toolmaking. When you see the taxes and 'safety' nonsense we have to adhere to, you'll see why industry is vanishing. Ten years ago we received a leaflet telling us that 1) we need to buy carbon credits 2) if we go over our carbon allowance, we'll be fined 3) if we don't reduce our energy used by the following year, we'll be fined This was an EU initiative to 'promote clean energy', or was it to kill manufacturing? How on earth does that encourage growth? How are solar panels and windmills in the middle of a city going to power heavy industry?Thankfully it seems to have gone quiet on that nonsense. Initially I contacted the local police as I thought it was a scam letter
fly_tornado Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 But leaving the EU won't won't make manufacturing competitive, you are still stuck with high English taxes to pay for your monarchy. [ATTACH]47919._xfImport[/ATTACH]
spacesailor Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 bureaucrats! Is it a real word or a French nondeplume, Buy an EPIRB to save your lift only to cop a fine if not registered, just why do you have to register it, if you dont use it on a regular basis. Just a thought. I was the guineapig for a terminal disease, good job I wasn't alergic to penicillin!. spacesailor
Phil Perry Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 Lady MP murdered by disturbed man with history of mental illness. Mentally Ill Lefty / Remain supporters on Twitter blaming the killing on the vote Leave / Brexit campaign. Mainstream Media led by the BBC ( natch ) reporting the same ballache all day and night, before police have even made a preliminary report, "It's a Political Assassination Waaaaaaah ! " Government orders No Referendum Campaigning until Saturday as a mark of respect. Mine worker gets killed at work - same day. Hardly a mention in the media and No Mining operations closed for 36 hours. Just an observation. . . . No cynicism intended. Condolences to the family of the MP.
Marty_d Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I'm sure the mine worker wasn't shot and stabbed because of his job.
fly_tornado Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Phil post Brexit, you can kill as many women as you like, as long as they had it coming because they mouthy bitches!
old man emu Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I'm amazed at the strict censorship the media has enforced on this issue in Australia. We are getting virtually no coverage at all. I think the issue of Britain's leaving the EU will have more impact on Australians than the actions of some armed nut case in Florida and the Yanks' out-dated claim to the right to own and use any sort of firearm. I agree that we will be affected by the results of the US Presidential election, as we would with the election of the leader of China or Russia. Too bad I can't say that the election of a new Australian Prime Minister will be anything earth shattering. Same sh|t, different coloured tie. OME
fly_tornado Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 actually its not getting censored, you're just not reading the news. Buggers me its on every Australian news site
Spooks Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I'm sure the mine worker wasn't shot and stabbed because of his job. Unfortunately some people are using her death for political gain. I think that is the point that Phil is making? The likes of the Guardian were busy circle jerking themselves into a frenzy in excitement of the Remain propaganda opportunities before she was even dead. Some are using it as opportunity to demand the referendum is cancelled. An EU minister suggested this is what happens when you don't want unity with the EU. From what I have seen in the media, they're generally glossing over the fact he was known to be mentally ill/unstable and concentrating on his Brexit and Far right links (because everyone wanting Out must be far right). As much as I dislike the hatred preached by the likes of Britain First, I can see government using this event to implement more draconian laws on those questioning certain policies. They've not even confirmed he shouted "Britain First", they are now suggesting he shouted "Put Britain First" which is a world of difference. It is terrible that she lost her life and it is so senseless. However with politics becoming increasingly poisonous and abusive, I expect more incidents in the future. The Remainers declare that those wanting out are thick racist thugs, the Outers declare that those wanting to Remain are traitors to the UK. The EU debate hasn't been a debate, it has been a series of events where opposing sides hurl their views and abuse at each other with neither even intending to consider their position. On social media you see idle threats from each side, people threatening to 'unfriend' or 'out' those with opposing views - what the hell happened to accepting differing points of view? I'm not a fan of Breitbart, they're the right wing equivalent of the Guardian. However this piece is quite good and highlights what is going on. Project Grief: Remain's Dirty Politicking Has Hit an All-Time Low Neither side is innocent in this campaign. Both have stirred and encouraged hatred.
Marty_d Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Spooks, I tend to agree with you that politics is scoring below the belt more often than not. On this side of the world we had the somewhat ridiculous situation where both sides of politics raised sensible policies which the other side actually agreed with, but the other side chose to vociferously oppose the other's policy in order to try to wedge them. I also agree that when you get an already unstable character and bombard them with violent dogma then you shouldn't be surprised if something bad happens. Perhaps I should be more interested, but I really don't give a damn whether Britain stays or goes. It's up to you guys to figure out what you want. Yes it may have implications for other countries in the EU who are considering leaving, but I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen. My response was simply to Phil's comparison of the murdered MP and the mine worker, who I assume died in an industrial accident. The sad fact is that one IS far more newsworthy than the other.
Spooks Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 We get the same over here. Rather than looking for the benefit of the nation the politicians are more interested in insulting each other or opposing each other's ideas, no matter how good they are. I agree that the death of the MP is more newsworthy. I did wonder if Phil was referring to the miner who tried to save her? Retired miner who tried to tackle Jo Cox's attacker was also hero of colliery disaster
Marty_d Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I wasn't aware that he died. Last I heard on the radio (could have been yesterday) was that he was seriously injured.
fly_tornado Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 this is the guy who shot Jo Cox the origin of blood and honour Hitler Youth knife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Time to build a wall
Spooks Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 The Muslim chaps in the background had a stall in Birmingham around Christmas last year. They were obviously promoting the faith, but they were also trying to show that they're not all muppets intent on blowing themselves up in eager anticipation of their 72 computer programmers in the afterlife. A shame that they had to suffer a protest from Britain First who are too cowardly to confront those preaching hatred.
