Very noble of you. We all have our different reasons for posting, some discuss football, some troll, some be use they’re bored at home or work, some to use it as a platform to show how lovely or clever they are, some because they think they’re solving all the worlds problems one post at a time. In truth it’s a melting pot of mediocrity where only the talented excel

...and back to the topic of the thread:

Quote

European farmers have threatened to blockade supermarket deliveries and leave shelves bare as part of their biggest tractor protests against the EU yet. They are furious after Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, announced a free trade agreement with the Mercosur trading bloc of South American countries.

The deal, which farmers fear will leave the EU swamped with cheap beef and poultry, requires the sign-off of bitterly divided European governments which could veto it. Negotiations had dragged on for 25 years before Mrs von der Leyen swooped to sign the deal when France, the most influential member state opposing the deal, was engulfed in a domestic political crisis.

So, here's a question for the deluded Remainers still squawking about Brexit, while Democracy was the main driver: "Who the fuck voted for Ursula von der Leyen ?"

We are so well out of the EU, despite suffering from the temporary Marxist hell I warned you lot about. So, for the next 5 years, Trumpland here I come!

Good !

Just STFU and go.

 

Hopefully Trump will build his wall, and make such a good job of it it blocks transit both ways.

I don’t do it for the glory, the likes or the lol emojis, they’re just a bi-product. I don’t do it to win the internet. There is so much spreading of bad news on here I’m just a guy assigned male at birth trying to give something back in my own way. I’m grateful for every like or lol I get as it means I’m doing something to make this world a better place

And the owner of the Ugly Inside decided that that forum would be a better place without him.

I could post that today is Saturday or just Happy Christmas and the usual suspects would still find an issue with it.

And despite being told countless times about the ignore function it seems they still fail to understand how it is used (and I am supposed to be the thick one).

Frankly I am sick to death being followed around by people with nothing to do other than have a dig, so yes, occasionally I have a bit of a laugh at their expense. They really need to ask themselves why they read and respond to my posts so frequently if they find them to be such a problem for them. Surely they should just put me on ignore and carry on in blissful ignorance? It is the same people and it has been the same people for years (apart from nic who is a recent addition). Why bother? I would prefer that they didn’t read or respond to my posts but unfortunately there isn’t a reverse ignore function. 

What is particularly sad is that they don’t realise that they all come across as needy stalkers.

Two unprovoked attacks in two days and then plays the victim, poor old SOG followed around by people who just wants left alone by 

what a bullshitter

Are they applying it to second homes? Or are they applying it to non EU citizens buying homes for profit?

The latter clearly, however the reasoning could be applied to second homes in any country to counter ‘rich landlords and poor tenants’

Well I wouldn't support that obviously. I'd definitely support British citizens getting preferential treatment in general though. That should include first dibs on homes.

Let me help you … the MEPs voted for UvdL. The same sort of way the leaders of our own political parties are chosen.

How the President of the European Commission is elected.

So, ladies, it looks like the two threads, Trump and the EU are going to intertwine in a predictable fashion. 

  1. Trump threatens tariffs and the EU backs down, thus protecting US jobs.
  2. The UK negotiates a trade deal with the US, thus avoiding tariffs...thus protecting UK jobs.

As I posted at the outset of this thread:

Quote
  1. The U.S. and the U.K. should negotiate a free trade area based on the principles of national sovereignty and economic freedom.
  2. For both nations, the barrier to this goal is the European Union. Britain cannot negotiate unless it leaves the EU, while the U.S. has wrongly supported the EU over the sovereignty of its member nations.
  3. The U.S. policy of using Britain as its Trojan Horse in the EU is wrong in principle and doomed to failure in practice.
  4. The U.K. must ensure that its referendum on EU membership offers a real choice. There is no reason why the U.K., the world’s sixth-largest economy, cannot negotiate trade arrangements outside the EU.
  5. The benefits of an Anglo–American free trade area would be both economic and political. It would insulate the U.K. from the damaging effects of further EU regulatory interference and signal the two countries’ shared political commitment to their close relationship

Still can't argue with any of that and I have a feeling that unprincipled snake, Starmer will be following it in supplication to his new master, Trump, with Lammy and Mandelson bowing down behind him.

There is more chance of GM becoming a non drinker than a trade deal  between us and the USA.

UK economy 6% smaller than 2016 - let that be the Conservative and Reform UK legacy.

Although John is trying his best to close some of the gap just in alcohol purchases. 🍻 

Cheers - hiccup. I would add a vomit emoji for normal drinkers but I suspect John is well past the hangovers and sick stage. His house must be a right fucking mess though when he sobers up occasionally.

No way the British will countenance US involvement in any scale in running and procurement of the NHS - given the dreadful state of the health systems in GOP states quite rightly. The public are not keen on food deals either from a food standards perspective - see chlorinate chickens and hormone-fed beef stories. Look at their obesity rates. That would enough to turn most of our citizens vegetarian if not vegan.

As I said, predictable to anyone with an ounce of common sense, which is sadly lacking among the posters on this site.

I was wondering whether the Russians had developed new bots as the antithesis to AI, AS, artificial stupidity.

As for sucking up to Trump, somehow the dumbest man on the planet has found himself, again, with an awful lot of power. Knocking the narcissists off his pedestal might be satisfying for 5 minutes but the EU and the UK need to find ways of dealing with him that don’t wreck our economies and defensive capabilities until the US comes to its senses again and elects a President with a brain that functions normally. Blowing smoke up his arse is currently the best way forward.

Turkish had it right I reckon, Nutty Nic = Dune. Wouldn’t be surprised if him and GM are drinking Vodka in the same bus shelter in Bursledon. Not sure what time Tesco opens to serve but I’m sure GM has a ready supply.

That tweet is the online equivalent of spraying political Fabreze (other air fresheners available of course) on the sofa he’d planned to share with Trump contained by Vance’s/Musk’s behaviour and which smells unpalatable to the British public. He can see the UK has moved closer to Europe again and for the long-run as NATO changes trajectory. Starmer won’t be unhappy with it at all as it backs up his bridging approach to date.
