Exactly. Labour are a confused clueless mess who will take us to ruin. Johnson is a lying bastard who will ruin us with Brexit. I kind of prefer the Brexit ruination, I think it will be exciting.
No, Labour are the expert fence sitters, aiming to collect as many from all opinions as they can in order to get elected.

That will be the more exciting since none of us has much of a clue what they'll do apart from nationalising rail and water.

How do they pay for that and other promised measures? How about backtracking on the purchase of Trident, that would be right up their street of what they really want to do.

Check this before they take it down
Slagging Boris's deal Farage now supports
"
Can any Brexiteer inclined to support this Treaty honestly say that it amounts to a proper Brexit? A Clean-Break Brexit remains the best deal for Britain. We need a General Election for a Leaver alliance to win a big majority and make Brexit a reality.

And now Nige is backing Boris?

There are lies
Damned lies
And Leave politicians

And Nigel confirms he changed his mind because Boris lied to him yesterday.

Scammer Farage will not refund Brexit Party candidates - Nice littler earner for him

One of the effects of Nigel Farage's announcement that the Brexit Party will not be contesting 317 seats currently held by the Conservatives is that many of his candidates are being stood down.

That has brought an angry reaction from some who have already spent a fair bit of time and money on their local campaign.

Speaking to LBC's Eddie Mair, Mr Farage says he has no plans to compensate those candidates.

"I'm sorry for people who have put their time and money on the line," he says, but adds that he "warned them all face-to-face that if circumstances changed" then the situation would be different.

"I'm not going to refund their money. They put their faith in me to do the right thing and the vast majority of them, this afternoon, agree with what I've done."

In the interview, Mr Farage also reveals that 3,000 people applied to be Brexit Party candidates at the election.

Quite extraordinary!
Fingers is on to something, there really is a market for magic beans!

This from the New European
"
"Lord Farage" started to trend on Twitter after the Brexit Party leader confirmed that he had been offered an honour by the Tories.

Speaking to the Mirror on Monday, he was asked what had been promised in return for dropping Brexit Party candidates in Conservative-held seats he insisted: "Nothing, and I have asked for nothing. I don't want anything."

Pressed further on the matter, he was asked if he had been offered a peerage, after previous reports suggested the Tories had tried to use one to broker a deal.

The Brexiteer went on to admit: "I was offered one last Friday."

"That ain't working
That's the way to do it
Money for nuthin
And the lordship comes free"

Oh dear, wrong again. Never mind, we are used to it. You should go on Mastermind with specialist subjects of getting things wrong and the bleeding obvious. You’d do very well. The population is rising not just in the east, but in the West as well.

People need to stop having as many babies and the more obstacles and difficulties governments can put in the way of having children, the greater the chance we have of reducing environmental damage. That’s the issue, anything else is niff-naff & trivia.
This is getting beyond wearisome. However I would be prepared to accept an apology.. there are at least two you now owe me...but then facts are not your strong suit.
Global population at my birth was estimated at 2 billion it is now 7 billions. The population of Western Europe has jumped from 500, millions to 700 millions .. depending on how many countries you include . The population of Asia was estimated as 1.5 billion at the time. Their population is now 3 times higher, ..or 300% , whereas Western Europe has increased by 40% .
Now there was a war just concluded, and Russia had not fully recovered from their experience in scientific agriculture, so the population was slightly suppressed . But the figures are there ..

Thank you for confirming that I was correct.

You were NOT!... Read the sequence of posts.. you know its not difficult. You read the words, the difficult ones you check with a dictionary . The 40% increase in Western Europe ,from what was a depressed post war population was never going to cause a problem. It is the 3 fold increase in Asia which puts the major pressure on resources.. particularly as they were coming from an energy poor level.

People should have a licence to breed.

I’m right aren’t I?
Maybe a test, to see if they can put their hat on the right way around, wax their moustache properly, that sort of thing. If they succeed, they may make a satisfactory parent.

Any democratic party would be stuffed and unelectable with population control as a policy - Govts can barely control car usage as folk view having kids and cars as a right rather than a privilege.

China tried to limit population growth though a one-child quota system with mixed results.

Russia that curbs immigration and whose population is declining is trying to get Russians to breed more like rabbits.

How would you limit population growth Fingers?

There is no shame in getting things wrong, so admit it.

I was just teasing our local Oswald. It’s a right wingers dream to hand out breeding licences. It ensures only the right type of folk can have children.

If you catch my drift ;)

Have a massive Barclays Bank?

Of course.

I’m guessing you would volunteer to take their test to see if they could pump enough seed money to satisfy your objections-as to whether they are allowed to breed?

You have all the right qualities to check if their seed is the right sort.

He’s just winding you up Dan.

Don’t bite.

He is an Little Englander.

He bought the Brexit thing not because of conviction but because of a bus and the promise of less brown people.

He is archetypal of why the boomer generation are so mocked. They are happy and comfortable so let’s stop the world now.

Sad.
