Today Brussels has told Britain we must pay 20,000 euros to 6000 criminals who got indeterminate sentences, as it is against their human rights, the victims of their crimes dont get anything. That is over 100 milion pounds
Who said crime does not pay.
We should use europe as a Nuclear testing ground.

Sadly John this is what the great British show has come to, contoled by foreigners, the very ones who tried to get rid of us back in WW2. But the media, including BBC will do anything to get copy sold. They have no scrupples when it comes to a story, remember what happened to Dianna? In my opinion most of them are nothing better than scum bags and should b etreated as such. I see in your latest opinion polls Labour has a 15 point lead. Of little value to you or the general public because if they get in next time thye will continue in the same vein as last time nad the country will become mired in more debt.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Yes John and most of those strangers are in countries thta have either a Labour or Socialist style government. We have the same problem here in Oz, the mantra of the Labour party is control of the people, control in what they do, where how and when. Divide and rule is the way they go.
Happy daze John in Oz.

re. Prince Harry
Hi David and good morning to you.
appreciate what you said, but the last time he was out there he was bought home when thinge started getting hot. It was made public knowledge that 'they', the M.O.D. etc would not allow him near a battle zone. If that is the case, what the hell is he doing out there? The last time he was there, he was filmed manning a machine gun and and casting determined glances all around. What was that for? Presumably then, if the enemy had appeared, he would have been whisked away to a place of safety, putting more of our forces at risk. In essence, you either go to war to fight, or you go as a pampered passenger!
Certainly his predecesors led their courtries into battle, Andrew flew helicoptors in the Falklands, and Philip done his bit. So what is the difference with Harry? If he is not to have his life endangered, then he should resign his uniform and be given a safe 'shore job'.
To me, this is nothing more than a flag waving exercise to fool the public that he is doing his duty. The same guy appears to have little or no respect either for his position in the Royal Family--i.e. dressing up as a Gestapo, two timing his girl friend, and the latest flashing his royal xxxx for all the world to see.
I know what you are thinking, and your'e quite right, I am not a royalist!!
Regards,
Colin.

DRESSING UP.
Hi Colin.
You mention "dressing up",what was wrong with him doing that.
All the people who knocked him for dressing up seem to have
forgotten the fact that Freddie Starr made a fortune from dressing
up as a gestapo officer (Adolph Hitler in fact),I cant recall any bad
comments about that.Everything that he has been in the news for,
we all had done at his age (or wished we had),so bloody good luck
to the boy.

As said earlier the boy is most welcome in the Llynges Frenhinol Gymreig - Royal Welsh Navy.
His mum is fondly remembered as Princess of Wales:
Which got him in most hot water the dressing up or dressing down ?
Other Royals get in trouble, do not look at the attached, if your not happy with this topless pic of Kate, press the like button if you do !

Fighting for whose country???
Brilliant pics, Keith and Gulliver. Just about fell off my chair laughing.
I fail to see why any of us ("us" being the UK, Canada, the US, etc.) are still in Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the Middle East for that matter, especially when half the Middle East population have settled themselves into our countries. Our troops go over there and fight for their rights and what do they do? Leave. I say, enough already. Bring our troops back home and fight to keep our homes our own, maybe even wage war on the media instead.
Regrettably, I have not yet seen the pics of Harry in the buff and I'm not sure I'm too excited to see a topless Kate. Regardless, what on earth makes the media think the world is that interested in and needs to see pictures of nude royals? What a strange and ridiculous world this is...

John your views are what most believe. I said in a previous post that I would not speak on politics or religion which I wont. This does not exclude me in agreeing with your post however. Cheers John Sabourn
