Hi Guys!
Sorry I haven't been around lately, things just keep getting busier.
Any how just stopped by on my way through to remind you to use the term "Great Britain" as much as you can over the next few months as it will shortly be reverting solely to its original geographical meaning.

Maybe we should keep all the resident EC nationals currently in employment and deport the misery-a*se remoaners ?

It's much more than that and things just keep happening!

Misery-a*se remoaners are EC nationals too, for at least the next two years.

Give Mrs Krankie her wish. If the Scots vote for independence they will be the ones to benefit or suffer the consequences and it will shut the whingeing little nationalist up. The rest of us will be rid of her.
If the Scots reject independence again it will almost certainly be the end of her and hopefully she will disappear into the ether.
Either way it's a win, win situation and may force Daffodil Lil's hand who seems to copy Mrs K at every opportunity. If our neighbours no longer want to be part of the Union why prolong their agony?
However can you honestly imagine the EU wanting to accept more little countries who may not be swelling the coffers of the EU as much as the UK has?

Then she'll want to nationalise the Tower of London (although I suppose they don't bang up traitors there any more ?)

Your last sentence is worrying me, that if Krankie gets her way she may want us to pay Scotlands annual EU fee in place of the £1000pp extra tax spend that the Scots currently receive from Westminster!! :o

Sounds like this woman needs to get out a bit more if she couldn't find anybody in favour of Brexit but for me she exemplifies another good reason to be out.
Thankfully her mother must have been there to give her a thunderous round of applause. :roll:

Breaking News:

"Theresa May abandons plans to raise national insurance in this Parliament in wake of Tory MP rebellion"

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03 ... arliament/

Well, that was a right bloody fiasco. Did no one actually think that one through before the budget ?!

I think they did think it through BUT couldn't predict the petty minded response.

In my opinion it was an ' adjustment ' for a particular group of people rather than an increase given that the base rate was not amended in any way ... pure opportunism by the usual suspects.
