Out of the mouth of babes..... There all the same, "After the horse has bolted", they do this all the time and will carry on doing so. There all the same, yesterdays people who can never see no further than today; hence always surprised by what tomorrow brings.

Well we know what tomorrow's bringing..... Most probably is a practice on the real thing. If we leave the ECM the Brussels Commies will send over the French to invade us, and guess where? yes, you've got it, at " Gosport". I expect we will be waiting though. There'll always be an England.....Scotland, Ireland & Wales of course, not so sure though about France, Germany etc. The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.

There are those here who dislike my posting style, especially when it comes to "knocking" their country...... ....they fail to see that I'm not knocking the country but highlighting the indifference, incompetence, gross negligence, corruption & sometimes the plain stupidity of those in charge...... Thank god I'm no longer a serving serviceman as I can guarantee that had I been one, a G4S nincompoop would be receiving at least 12 months sick pay....... This is an Absolute Disgrace At least the US gets it right......  ID: 1344501 · |

Those people doing the cheering and giving the discounts are the very ones that were spat upon and called baby killers when they came home from serving in Vietnam. They refuse to allow that to happen to another generation.

Hmmm, interesting week..... ..just what are you up to Germany? My warning to Britain followed by... Germany warns "Britain quitting Brussels would be a catastrophe" A comment from the second link tells me I'm not alone in thinking on these lines.... "these are very interesting remarks ,coming from Germany. I think the gremans can see the writing on the wall.it becomes more and more obvious every day the eu is finished .it cannot work and it has always been a stupid idea.the eec was ok and that's all it should have been ,not the eu shambles. I think Germany may now be looking for a way out and hoping to put much of the blame on others. conspiracy theory ,maybe ,but the germans havn't made this sort of admission before." Come April, could they become Germany's version of UKIP? Would be nice if they both linked up...... Germany's new Anti-Euro Party Big Bang coming your way in 2014... Del-boy loses 2015 Election!

Worth a watch....just a shame the other parties don't do the same and discuss things openly like the UK IND appear to do...can see why the voters are progressively warming to them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=udHqO6kJDbw&feature=endscreen The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.

4 inches of snow last night bought most of the south-east of the UK to a standstill. Someone forgot to send the gritters out and thousands of motorist became stranded. Has our P.M. stood up in parliament today requesting someone's head on the block for this?

That is just just your own opinion. Obviously we need a permanent Civil Service, which maintains the fabric of the country, whilst politicians and their parties come and go. Of course we all accept that they are over staffed and inefficient, but more changes have been made over the last 20 years than the last 100 years, and will continue to happen at an ever growing pace, as they get dragged into the 21C. We all know that you have a bee in your bonnet about this particular issue, but it doesn't help your cause by using untrue flowery language to try to get your point across. The Civil Service & Reform Comment from Lord Bicard, a former PPS.... "But whatever the state of that relationship the real concern should be that the service is no longer fit for purpose for a modern society because: (see report for full list, but no 6 is strong medicine, think Sir Humphrey ought to be taking some of it) No 6: It is centralised, hierarchical and riddled with status." There you go Sir Humphrey, care to comment? ID: 1346054 · |

OY! Stop doing that, it's not good for my health! It's impossible to disagree with that. However, the changes have to sweep right through the whole organisation, no half-measures! But the over-riding change that must take priority is their I.T. system. Many are complaining that its too old & slow & it must be allowed to link in with HMRC & Police databases, that will cut fraud by at least 50% if not more! ID: 1346080 · |

I said stop doing that...:) Agreed, but where tax,N.I & DWP systems are concerned they don't infringe on national security so that is not an issue. However, if we want tighter security, then the govenment has to stop passing downright stupid laws like R.I.P.A where even the local councils can use that to their own advantage & have been doing just that!

As the DWP & HMRC in a manner of speaking are part of the Governments treasury, one collects & the other payouts. Can't see where the DPA is an issue here. AS for RIPA it has been flagged numerous times since its enactment. Several councils have been using RIPA to snoop on their residients & use surveilance to determine if they have been truthful in their declarations of school placement requests. There has also been other reports of various deeds by the councils. Bit naughty don't you think? ID: 1346100 · |
