Absolutely Brian, The Wops are getting a cheque for a billion Euro,s. I done a search for a guy for a lady I know very well her uncle was in the pioneer core she had no idea were he fell only that they lost him during W.W.2. He fell in Anzio the brits and yanks landed in the January late 1940s he gave the ultimate 4 weeks later in the Feb, Looking at this club we joined up to the E.U. it seems you are better off on the bones of your a*s rather than creating growth bloody crazy.

Re: Pirates of the past.
As I see it the'club' is another form of socialism. The concept being thta all members will be equal. But to achieve equality you must first find a common level, a level at which all will live. Those at the bottom must be brought up to that level. But the sad part of this is that the ones who have done the hard yards to get ahead must come down to that common level. This I believe is the long term objective and with the Frogs, biggest solcialists in EU and their Kraut mates the objective may well be achieved. So then the UK must come down to the level of Greece and all the other pigs.

Re: Pirates of the past.
I saw on TV yesterday, in Brussels,.. George Osborne, was in a conference with the other european finance ministers,
A reporter asked the german Finance muinister if he thought it was fair that Britain had to pay the extra TWO BILLION euros,
The german , who is getting a BIG Rebate was Laughing and said Yes.
THEY WERE ALL LAUGHING AT BRITAIN.
.
. Time to put the RAF on standby.

Re: Pirates of the past.
Every Cross Channel Ferry should have some Royal Marines or Ghurkas on board.
I saw yesterday on Russian RT TV , [NEVER SHOW IT ON BBC] all the immigrants fighting to get on board our Ferries.
Now they were all young men of a fighting age,. So scenario.......
they get on board , have a bomb vest on and they hijack the ferry with a thousand passengers on board.
What are they going to do now?????
.
How many, apart from being ISIS Terrorists, that are now spreading through europe, have Ebola, ?????
Does the Government have No Idea what is going on in this world today??????
.
Just heard on TV News today, A Libyan, terrorist was lifted in China and sent back to Libya, to Ghaddafi.
He has just won his case in London and will now Sue the British Government for allowing it.
The usual price is One Million Pounds.
OF OUR TAX PAYERS MONEY.
