Terry, the EU is hardly a failed institution, or the argument would take a different form.

The euro crisis is leading to a two-speed Europe, and more centralisation of power within the EU is on the cards. The bureaucratic monstrosity of the EU is very dangerous, and is going to get more bureaucratic.

Waving a Union Jack is creating a prejudice,…[Read more]

Momes. Terry…

Momes, if the economy can get going, then the deficit will disappear as a problem pretty quickly…

I think asking for social cohesion while the economy is flatlining, or possibly plunged into a new crisis (the US fiscal cliff or a eurozone crisis will knock the UK economy flat) is whistling lin the wind. When faced with real…[Read more]

at least this thread is starting to get funny… :)

i can’t say I’ve followed this story enough to claim accuracy, but my understanding is that the family had his headstone removed because it was attracting a circus..I think that’s part and parcel of respecting the visits of others to their loved ones, not an admission of guilt on their…[Read more]

Lol. Sorry but I’m off the menu for any form of human consumption.

panda, I’m so pleased that you have a clean and decent, Christian mind…

as otherwise the implications are quite disturbing :shock:

Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing when it comes to rags like the Mail talking of free speech..as momes says, free speech for whom, for what? They attack free speech for their opponents, demand free speech for themselves.

Free speech is inviolable to me – it’s crucial in cases where people oppose you, not just…[Read more]

God, you’re going to make people sick when they find your remains…

you must have human mates, panda. When people don’t have a family, their mates become their family.

Of course, your dogs and cats are your mates, but real mates don’t eat you when they find you dead….

do they?

look out for small, out-of-the-way cafes…much nicer atmosphere

long time no speak..

but can you be forgotten??..Hardly!!

Happy Birthday, Moosey xxxx

Momes, an intelligent post, but I don’t agree.

I think there’s a growing awareness that austerity leads to a vicious circle of more poverty and more austerity, and the Greeks and Spanish are living examples of it.

But the sort of spending stimulus you’re talking about is actually taking place – the Bank of E and (especially) the US Fed have been…[Read more]

I thought the family denied the allegations and took down the headstones because they were attracting vandalism?

That’s what the Mail online seemed to be saying

I was led to the existence of this evil little filth-site (Mail online) by chasing up dave lee travis to find out where cosy appeared. I read two or three pieces from links and felt a…[Read more]

that’s great Mrs T, or Granny T as we should be calling you???

teh ebst thing about being a grandpa or granny is that you get the sweet wihtout the sour when it comes to the babies….

I think :-s

I’m not a grandpa yet :(

but one day???

If all the accusations against Savile are correct, he’ll be regarded as the worst pedophile in British history, using his positon to roam at will (goes back to 1958!!) and the consequences for institutions like the BBC and NHS will be far-reaching. There are some very important questions to be raised because of this.

There is also a witch hunt…[Read more]

There’s no difference between UKIP and the Tory right wing fomr what I can see, when it comes to leaving the EU. Some ministers like Philip Hammond, the Defence Sec, are already saying that the UK should leave.

The political landscape is changing a lot, and Cameron is aware of it (actually, Cameron may well be a lazy git more interested in games…[Read more]

‘and some the laughing stone disable’

Once the laughter (from some) dies down, there remains a rather serious business…we live in a different world since Lehman…

I don’t think the Tory Right is the way forward, even when it dresses itself up as a clown.

a trying-to-relax mood…a refusal-to-get-annoyed mood..had a long long day yesterday, my sleep loused up by workhours, trying to get back to some sort of normality for a while before my work really begins.

I think, know, a number of people have withdrawn from this thread because they feel it’s become quite personal.

ah, sorry, cosy, I looked in various places, but couldn’t find anything..
