    Why? Doesn't he deserve the honour? If she is and he bought it clearly another man of vision and principle. Last I heard knighthoods did not guarantee you a place on the lifeboat when 'the Great Britain' goes down having been holed below the water line by saboteurs an assortment of Irish terrorists, cowardly nutters who are mindful of the potential risks to their leadership ambitions should they actually stand, be counted and lead from the front, and an army of revolutionaries and apparatchics hoping to seize power through the ballot box.

    Seems France is descending into chaos...... I do admire the French way of protest.
    As Paul says (quite often) that’s the way it should be done over here.

    Don’t like it? Make a noise. Street democracy.

    When the youth here had the chance a few years back they were more interested in looting ‘Footlocker’ and ‘PC World’ :)

    I guess smashing up shops, burning cars and injuring police is the way forward. <doh>

    Well marching on the streets waving a placard does **** all to change anyone’s mind, mate. As been proved on more than one occasion.

    TBH mate I think the only way to protest is in a peaceful way. Let's say someone gets injured or killed... we need to be realistic about these things. The best way to sort this is to vote him out.

  17. Totally agree. One thing I really like about living in London is there's marches pretty much every week and most are fairly small but the people on them clearly care. Sure some may get out of hand but generally they're good natured. I do an ultra walk every year so do most of my weekend training there as I have an appalling sense of direction and even I can't get lost up there - and the parks are great.
    Where else would you see 500 people dressed as giant pandas walking along the South Bank for WWF? :)

    Mmm? I think many got to know more about Viet Nam, and to a lesser extent Prague, and as a result minds changed.

    Get your harps out...Junker just said "its a very sad day and he feels for our (UK) grandchildren". <laugh> Then a Belgium MEP responded to a question if we decided to stay in the EU said "We would want the money spent on negotiations from the UK"...So desperate for money.

    To feed the unelected gravy-train !!

    Parasites, the lot of them, gorging at the expense of the hard working people of Europe.

    I remember reading somewhere the pensions MEPSs receive, its obscene !!
