Re: The Letter That Should Stand For Ordinary People
Hi Terry
No Fish anymore at Fleetwood.
The European union has banned all the fishing, hundreds of fishermen and shore people unemployed. all the trawlers forced to be scrapped. These are the people that Miliband supports because he is a european by blood, both his parents are from Europe. He will NOT give a referendum of getting out , I always thought that to deny the people a Vote that is a Dictatorship , am I right?
Is that what you want ?
Now they have made hundreds unemployed in the fishing industry and the Irish Sea and Morecambe Bay is full of Spanish , Belgian and French trawlers taking our fish. It is little wonder that the Fleetwood people Vote for the Conservatives.
Miliband is a dedicated European, by blood as well as by thought..
So sorry Terry, no Kippers for you today unless you go to Belgium
Cheers
Brian

Re: The Letter That Should Stand For Ordinary People
Yep and Icelandic, Spanish, French and Portuguese trawlers landing fish in Grimsby to be processed at the fish factory owned by .................................Icelanders!
Hull fish docks (once the largest dedicated fish dock in the world, there were more deep water trawlers registered in Hull than Grimsby and the acreage was more as were the fish sales and distribution ) now a shopping centre and industrial estate
Ain't life wonderful when our politicians of all hues give away our heritage to feather their own nests

Re: The Letter That Should Stand For Ordinary People
If I had a vote my one main argument against the present government is that unless I am totally incorrect, was the argument when he went in was that he was going to have a referendum on Europe. If correct and has failed to do during his term of office he has lied knowing he was lying when he said it. I may be wrong and he didn't say. Putting him back in therefore is just repeating and amplifying the untrust he will have with the people. There is no place in politics for a person who lies on the drop of a hat. We all know they twist words to suit the occasion. Nixon found this out the hard way. JS

Re: The Letter That Should Stand For Ordinary People
The obvious answer is for them to all take lie detector tests and the one who lies the least gets the job. They should all submit a CV the same as anyone else seeking employment. The one in the Queensland government recently sacked or maybe still trying to sack had a criminal record, think but not sure but was for wife beating or something similar. Some of them get government positions having no knowledge of the subject they are responsible for and when they leave have exactly the same amount of knowledge. I personally think by reading the overseas papers that it appears to others that the UK s election will be fought mainly about the referendum of staying or leaving Europe. JS

Re: The Letter That Should Stand For Ordinary People
That is a good idea John
Every time a Politician makes a promise make him take a Lie Detector test, if he fails Sack him
I believe that two thirds of MPs here have some kind of Criminal Record. Get Rid of all of them as well,
These are OUR Employees , Not our Rulers. Tell lies sack them, fiddle expenses , sack them, commit any offence, Sack them . None attendance in Parliament, sack them.
It would not be tolerated in Business.
If they do not like it, sack them.
My LABOUR, Pa kist anni, MP, ponces about in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, Where is my Democracy?? Would you vote for her Terry????????????????
Where is my Democracy??
My LABOUR Town Councillors are from Pa kist ann, again where is my Democracy??
You want me to vote for them???
NO CHANCE.
Brian
Off to sunny Fleetwood for a few days.

John, I stand to be corrected, but it was in this term of office he said that if re-elected in 2015 he would hold a referendum in 2017, however as we all know Force Majeure may change the promise
