I do like splashing out for a pearl necklace

Lol, this is about three minutes of the new Liberal MP getting owned. It's well funny. [ame] [/ame]

Cheer up, is Saturday night not bath night? That pretty East european girl will be along in a minute to give you a wash.

Zac fought a London mayoral campaign that was quite "controversial", have you considered that might be why he lost his MP's seat?

So why do countries like Peru and Canada get free trade agreements with the EU without freedom of movement?

Yeah, I see people on this website selling cubic metres for £60 and I wonder if they really are cubic metres. Perhaps trading standards should investigate some log merchants?

OK, the EU politicians play hardball and start a trade war. That means millions of car workers/ wine growers/ cheese makers/ watch makers etc in the EU lose their jobs. You really think a French politician wants to see a car plant close because they can't do a trade deal with the UK? You think the Spanish want to lose British tourists because of a trade war? You think the Germans want to close a steel plant because they no longer sell goods to the UK? You think Europeans are happy to lose their jobs so politicians can make a point? Do you think unemployed EU citizens might vote for politicians that will get a free trade agreement so they get their jobs back? This weekend the Austrians are having a Presidential election, the likely winner is a right winger that wants a referendum on the EU.... The EU is dying....

With the greatest respect, your forecasts are terrible.... I don't think the EU have many cards to play.... Their economy is a mess, if they start a trade war millions of EU citizens will lose their jobs. Millions of EU migrants work in the UK, if we kick them out they will be unemployed in the EU. Russia is becoming increasingly belligerent, if Poland etc fall out with the UK they can't expect much military help if Russia invades them.

See if we don't get a free trade agreement with the EU, it means we charge tarrifs on their goods and they charge tarrifs on ours. Since we have a trade deficit with the EU it means we will be quids in. That's what I call a result.

I don't know about anyone else here. But I'm getting mighty @&£)&@& off at european politicians threatening us over Brexit. If that is their attitude they can £@&£ their cars and they can £&)( their beach holidays.

I believe TATA are now going to invest £100m into their steel plant in Wales due to sterling going down in value. Before brexit they were going to shut their plant. If that is "economic suicide" you can put me down for second servings. Cameron bleated on about brexit meaning war and an emergency budget the week after Brexit. He's been proved a liar. If you bremoaners love the EU so much you should emigrate there.

Yeah, I think you're right. I think the problem the Guardian has is that they do not have the money (staff) to monitor the comments. I also think they don't like comments on certain articles as the articles are torn to shreds by the readers. Before I was banned, by the Guardian, the most "recommends" I ever had was 400 happy days

When my dad done that the garage took the mix and burned it in a heater to heat their workshop.

It's good to know imported logs now cost 23% more I can see Brexit being really good for UK forestry

Perhaps any discussion on the relative costs of wood/ gas or oil heating should include boiler replacement costs? From what I understand a modern gas boiler will last 10 to 20 years. I can't help thinking a decent log stove should easily last 50 years.

An armed man has entered a retirement home for monks in France. At least one dead. Ffs, I hope France isn't in the process of suffering another horrific terrorist attack.

Just because women now work it doesn't mean that household income shoots up. It's likely that by the time the household has to pay for childcare that household disposable income hasn't really went up. It also seems like people fritter more money away nowadays. If you ever go to a council tip it's amazing how much new looking furniture is thrown out.... As another example weddings seem to cost more as people want more things. My mate got married and spent £200 on matching ties for him and his ushers. That's over a days wages for most folks ffs!

I'd imagine that GCHQ would use an automated programme to find suspicious behaviour. Before the Internet there was a list of books that if you borrowed from the library the Intelligence agencies would be informed.... If someone has decided to commit a terrorist attack it's likely they will look at certain websites. Maybe a website on making wills? Maybe a bomb making website? Maybe they have suddenly insured their life?

tbh, if it makes us safer I don't have a problem with the security services looking at our internet history. Let's face it anyone googling "how to make a bomb in your kitchen" and "kill infidels" should be investigated.

I think everyone hates their job at times.... Why not look into other careers? Paramedic? Nurse?

Spending 3 months designing road signs. My first job after uni was working for a clothing chain. Sometimes when the clothes came from India they had the wrong material label inside. Our job was to get a label saying "100% polyester" and placing it over the label saying "100% polyamide". On the bride side I can honestly say I've had my hands in 1000 bras in a single day

Does anyone use a dehumidifier in a kiln? I can't help thinking that heating a kiln then venting the humid air out loses a lot of heat.... Why not heat the kiln and have a dehumidifier inside to remove the moisture? A little known fact is that a dehumidifier produces more heat than the electricity put into it.... You should get at least twice the heat from a dehumidifier as the electricity put into it.

So African migrants in Norway are 3 times more likely to commit crime than native Norwegians.... You won't hear that on the BBC... "A 2011 report by Statistics Norway found that immigrants are overrepresented in crime statistics but that there is substantial variation by country of origin.[74] The report furthermore found that "the overrepresentation is substantially reduced when adjusting for population structure – for some groups as much as 45 per cent, but there are also some groups where the overrepresentation still is large."[74] According to the report, the data for 2009 shows that first-generation immigrants from Africa were three times more likely than ethnic Norwegians (or rather individuals who are neither first- nor second-generation immigrants) to be convicted of a felony while Somali immigrants in particular being 4.4 times more likely to be convicted of a felony than an ethnic Norwegian was. Similarly, Iraqis and Pakistanis were found to have rates of conviction for felonies greater than ethnic Norwegians by a factor of 3 and 2.6 respectively. Another finding was that second-generation African and Asian immigrants had a higher rate of convictions for felonies than first-generation immigrants."

The fact remains that many migrant groups commit more crime than native Europeans. I don't like crime and I don't like criminals, that's why i don't want migrants from backgrounds that are more likely to commit crime.. We've all got sisters/ daughters/ mums/ nieces etc. Is anyone really happy about letting in migrants that have a 23 times greater propensity to rape than europeans? I know most migrants won't rape, however that's not much consolation if your daughter has been raped. If we're being intellectually honest we'd admit that some countries are cr4p because of the people and culture in them. Yet somehow the Liberals believe that migrants from these countries magically become "european" when they come to Europe. In Nice someone drove a truck along an esplanade and drove over families because his culture told him that was the correct thing to do. Europeans have got to forget the "all cultures are equal" cr4p that the BBC have been telling us.

The BBC only started talking about Rotherham when it became too big a story to ignore. I know people love slagging off the media etc, however they do an important job in a democracy. It's scary that they ignore stories due to political correctness. I can't help think if the BBC had done their job a lot of kids wouldn't have been raped. I watched a BBC show on migration. They said migration didn't lead to an increase in crime. That's an absolute lie..... I've seen evidence that in Sweden some migrant groups are 23 (twenty three) times more likely to rape than native Swedes...
