LESBOS RESURRECTION THREAD

We did not vote to enter the E.U. ...... we voted to join the Common Market, and the people who voted to stay out, accepted the vote, and not behave as the remainders of today. It was called Democracy then. ...... We were conned and dragged into the newly formed E.U., Without the people having a vote at all. Was that Democracy. ....... I don't know how everything will turn out, but at least I will be free of unelected faceless people telling me what to do. ........ My Wife does enough of that ! ! ! ! ,

 

There is a simple solution to the benefit scrounges that can’t or won’t work......cut the benefits and pay them for the hours worked

 

From my personal POV only those that couldn't accept a democratic vote were branded snowflakes. Not those who disliked the result but those who refused to accept it. But anyway, it's all over now and we must all get on with it together.

Are you saying you were personally targeted? If so, then yes that was childish.

 

No I wasn't personally targeted, I just found all the name calling and accusations quite childish considering what was at stake.
I just wanted it done as quick as possible once the result came in - for better or worse - just get on with it already.
I think the time it took is how a lot of the animosity built up.

Ah yes the Guardian aka Owen Jones the moral compass of the country I was rather hoping that since Brexit he would have disappeared back into the ranks of the unimportant non entities but not obviously not

 

He was recently on the Jeremy Vine morning programme on TV - this last week, I think.

My wife was watching it and she said “Oh, look - there’s that fella you don’t like....”

 

**** the anti white anti Britain bbc

 

The sooner the licence fee is scrapped the better.

 

O dear

A year ago, did anyone look like they would come out of Brexit better than Leo Varadkar? Here was a leader of a small country on the fringe of the EU suddenly catapulted to its centre. He was the one pushed forward by Juncker, Barnier, Merkel and Macron, as they sought to leverage advantage from the tricky problem of the Irish border. Not only was Varadkar seen to be standing up for the Republic’s interest, but by driving a wedge between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, he seemed to be setting himself up as the instigator of possible Irish reunification – he was drawing the issue away from the nationalists.

Last night, Varadkar resigned as Taoiseach after a humiliating general election defeat two weeks ago. Hardly any voters seemed interested in rewarding him for standing up for Ireland’s interests in the Brexit negotiations, and while Brexit seems to have rekindled the nationalists’ hope of Irish unity it wasn’t Varadkar and Fine Gael who prospered – it was the full-fat nationalists in the shape of Sinn Fein.

But the humiliation is not entirely over for Varadkar. For the moment, he stays on as caretaker leader until a government can be formed. In that capacity, it has fallen to him to negotiate the EU’s budget for the next seven years. These were never going to be easy negotiations given that the EU’s coffers have just been left with a Britain-sized hole. But if Varadkar was expecting any favours from the EU for his role in Brexit negotiations he has been left sorely disappointed. Ireland has been asked to pay more into the EU’s coffers while suffering sharp cuts both to payments for farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy and to infrastructure under EU cohesion funds. Varadkar has called the proposals ‘unacceptable’, but is unlikely to win any concessions given that Germany and a bundle of other Northern European ‘frugals’ are holding out strongly against any increased burden on them.

The sad thing is that Varadkar was exploited and now he has been hung out to dry. During the Brexit talks, he was drafted in to do the EU’s dirty work for it. The EU hit upon the issue of the Irish border as a device to try to trap the UK in EU regulations forever and Varadkar was used in order to help exaggerate the border issue. It never did make much sense why Britain would have to remain in full alignment with EU regulations purely to avoid a hard border in Ireland when Switzerland has a free-flowing border with several EU countries in spite of not being a member of the EU, the single market or the customs union. Even so, the EU nearly pulled off its trick. Had parliament voted for Theresa May’s deal – which even Boris and Jacob Rees-Mogg did at the third time of asking – the EU would now be rubbing its hands having neutralised the threat of a competitive, free-trading and deregulated Britain.


But the ruse failed, and with it, Varadkar’s stock has taken a horrible plunge. Let his fate serve as a warning to the leaders of other small EU countries – don’t expect any reward for acts of loyalty towards the EU’s leaders.

Yes, They are clear with a white rectangle in the middle.

 

I think it's a great thing. No need to attach 'racism' to this product.
Plasters are made in 'skin tone' with the idea to minimise how noticeable they are. Doesn't work for those with much darker skin.
At least they can buy something closer to their skin colour now. I have no problem with that - why would anyone ?
I'm just surprised it's taken this long.

We've already had shampoos specifically for blonde hair - Timotei, and I'm sure there are other colours available. Nobody has said Timotei is racist have they ?

I use headset microphones a lot in my job, we have 2 colours - a beige colour and a brown colour - nobody makes a deal out of that.

This is the same as that Afua Hirsch woman seeing racism in everything.

It's just a plaster - in various colours !
