  1. Chickens coming home to roost? We can live in hope. This will dent the Far Right Brexit coffers.....

  2. And more revelations.... This time about a Tory MP with not only his fingers, but both hands and forearms in the dodgy financial cookie jar..... and with more links to Russia...

    Funny how so much Tory ****ehousery can be narrowed down to the same thirty or forty names, isn't it?

    Same with all the parties mate, that's why I have always suggested every ballot paper should have a 'none of the above' option. If 'none of the above' wins, then that constituency should remain unrepresented and all of the candidates should be barred from standing for that paeticular constituency for life. Let them stand elsewhere, no problem, but not in the same place. Once a sh!tehawk gets barred from 3 or 4 constituency's, people might get the message.

    Doesn't need lies, just two short words, 'It's fekked'.

    Alternatively, 'It looks like the Confederates might actually win'.

    Instead we seem to have ballots that may as well say "None of the below" when you see some of the majorities - not votes, majorities, that some of them get
    Theresa May - 26,457
    Frank Field - 25,554
    Nadine Dorries - 21,983
    Margaret Hodge - 21,608
    Chris Grayling - 20,475
    Kate Hoey - 20,250 (although this may tie in to the reasons she was slapped with a No Confidence vote last year...)
    Priti Patel - 18,646
    Liz Truss - 18,312
    David Davis - 15,405

    Do the constituents actually see their names on the ballot and think "Hmm, they look like somebody capable of operating a washing machine without burning the entire town to the ground"? It's enough to make you wish the dinosaurs had a do-over...

    AFAIK, no.

    The UK did have a big debt burden from the USA due to the war
    (which AFAIK the USA did not impose high interest rates on) that
    took several decades for the UK to pay off. ***


    *** The material cost to UK industry/tech post-war due to the "box of tricks"
    etc has been a matter of historical debate.

    Just the largest share of any European nation with a tidy 26% of the $12bn - while in comparison France received 18% and West Germany 11%

    "Britain actually received more than a third more Marshall Aid than West Germany - $2.7 billion as against $1.7 billion. She in fact pocketed the largest share of any European nation. "

    Switzerland, meanwhile, didn't receive a penny for several years. Probably something to do with all that Nazi gold that was just resting in their accounts...

  17. Yeah - but apart from that - what did the Marshall Plan ever do for us?

    On the subject of people who demonstrate that at least 20,476 residents of Epsom & Ewell should be stripped of voting privileges as they can't be trusted, reports are saying that Chris Grayling has been banned from Calais by port officials

    Although he could merely be at Dover waiting for a Seaborne ferry that doesn't exist...
