Re: Britains Maritime trade
Cheese, lots of cheese from France the so called land of cheese.
But of course all the real big cheeses are sitting around a table at a meeting, a cheese meeting.
No blue cheese though, in case some think macron has taken his shoes off.
Swiss cheese maybe as that can be melted, or maybe some smoked Austrian to smoke out the opposition.
All washed down with some Greek ouzo just to make things go well.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Britains Maritime trade
Oh, didn't Harold Wilson lie to us in 1975 when before thereferendum he produced a paper stating that he had won a better deal for the UK.
Truth is Lewis, no politician of any color or Creed has told the truth to the UK about the EU.

Lew, Buyer beware mate, The court of human rights is there to work for or against you, My worry with the Tories having full control of our laws and legislation is that if reelected we could all end up on a bowl of rice a day to live on. I wouldn't rule it out by no means. We need more transparency on there way forward not leaks on Tory drafts that they allow us to view. Terry.

Re: Britains Maritime trade
Vic , Ted Heath was the man that signed us in and the bent basta-d took a £35,000 back hander to do it. Getting the UKinto the EU or EC or EEC had nothing to do with a Labour government. It was the Tories, so be man enough to own up to that fact without blaming the Labour party, they had nothing to do with Britains initial corrupt entry into the Club.

Terry the Conservatives have about as much chance of winning the next general election as my ass has at winning a grouse shooting competition.

Re: Britains Maritime trade
There has been very little honesty shown amongst any politicians since the war years. They can't even claim honesty among thieves. They get in through making invalid promises and then claim the previous government left them short. They already know the state of the till before taken over, so why tell lies in the first place. No matter what party they call themselves, they are all tarred with the same brush. People today don't vote on their policies anymore, they only vote for them and how they look and how good their publicity is. People only vote on who they think will do the least damage to the economy. As far as I am concerned they are all at fault as they have all played follow the leader. If they are willing to put the countries future into the hands of not so long back enemies just shows how little they know. The whole of Europe with very few exceptions succumbed to German rule and was well in hand to succeed this time, but for a few honest polls who stood up and spoke the truth. When foreign countries are able to make laws for others is time to say stop, and that has been the attitude taken by the British people irrespective of ignorant pollies. JwS
