Off Topic The Politics Thread

Neglected ? If found to be true then that’s absolutely appalling and those Doctors and Nurses deserve everything that’s coming to them. However, as I’ve personally witnessed, there are always two sides to every story.

 

Seems our government was doing it in the 1930s, Os.

Ramsay MacDonald? Wasn’t he Labour? And that nice Mr Attlee?

Is this ‘that was then, this is now’ politics?

 

Funny that.....Shetland has recently had a by-election, won by Lib-Dems, closely followed by SNP



Both strong remain parties, see the Tories and UKIP did well in that constituency - not! The views of a few fishermen get the press, whilst the majority people on the islands are ignored?

 

Ah, yes, that well known Nazi, Clement Attlee

 

Except that Adolph Hitler wasn't asking for a General Election, and those opposing him weren't enjoying not allowing one to take place

 

I didn't know you were that old...

 

It would not surprise me to find the fishermen of the Shetlands to be in the minority.

Lefties apologise & are immediately forgiven.
Anyone else must be hounded from their job,
never allowed to work again,
and they must be ostracised forever.
The new rules seem a tad biased.

EU’s Free Trade Agreement With South American Countries Blocked

please log in to view this image

The EU has been working on a trade agreement with the Mercosur countries; Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay for over twenty years. The deal has hit roadblocks today after left-wing and protectionist parties in Austria voted to reject the deal, which would wipe away the EU’s tariffs. Anti-free trade Europeans voting to keep export tariffs as high as 35% for goods such as cars and clothing…
The EU is traditionally slow at signing FTAs because all 28 disparate member states must agree, and continental, more agricultural economies tend to be more protectionist than the likes of the traditionally free trading UK. Once the UK has left the EU it will have the freedom to unilaterally cut import tariffs, without the Austrians vetoing it…

 

Tail wags dog comes to mind...

 

wont happen when they get rid of the veto
then pissy little countries like austria will be told to **** off
deals getting done
