Couldn’t put it better myself, Bob.
Those ****s are laughing at us and roll out the same old line that if they had to pay more taxes then they would **** off elsewhere.......**** ‘em....they are taking the piss.
If they're not going to pay taxes then they can **** off for all I care. I bet their employees pay tax!! Bit of a dilemma really cos I ****ing love Cadbury caramel
 
And apparently (don't know how true) Trumps visit cost the taxpayer £18m ?!?!?
That's a small percentage of what cadburys tax bill should have been!! Bastards

On the Saturday he was here I had a job in the flats next to the embassy off Nine Elms Lane at 7.30 that morning, there were already at least 15 riot vehicles with about 100 riot police sitting around with the road entrance blocked, he wasn't due till the afternoon and there was already a helicopter floating about so with that much overkill it's no surprise...

Chequers is basically tieing us to EU laws and a Customs Union Lite without the membership benefits, how that can be sold as an acceptable deal is frankly ludicrous. The fact that May was a remainer who kept her head below the parapet during the campaigning to steal the leadership when Cameron disappeared to count his money means she had no clear strategy from the start other than to dither and then call the election when she was already pissing everyone off. She is without doubt the worst post-war Prime Minister by a country mile as every decision she makes is the wrong one at the wrong time. She seems set to confirm that again in the next week...

We'd have been better off with Arlene Foster negotiating. Tough nut, she'd have had Barnier and Jean Claude Drunker eating out of her clenched fist!
 
Funny they post the Trump bill.. What about the Saudi or Obama? I can see sometimes why Trump has a gripe.
18 million just to stop a few would be Citizen Smiths kicking off <doh> I do agree with your other point though.

Thing is looking at the bigger picture. A trade deal because of the visit will bring in more money, that is if we are ever allowed to leave.
There’s a protest tonight outside the Natural History Museum against the Saudis.....are any 606 ‘s going ?
<laugh>
Only if Trump was there!
On this £18M thing for Trump...I think we are missing the bigger picture. We looked after him and get a great Trade deal worth a lot more than £18m...If we are allowed to make deals that is?
 
on another note I hear some Russian rocket failed today and they are launcing a 'criminal investigation'. I wonder how long it is before we start getting blamed? I am sure some of our comrades will start pointing the finger.
