Phil Perry Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Brexit court defeat for UK government - BBC News So they're now saying that the will of the British people needs a further vote by MPs to be legally binding. So much effort was put into trying to scare the populace that I imagine they thought a 'remain' vote was a certainty. Let's face it, did anyone ever really think the UK would be allowed to leave the EU? Not a chance mate. . .it was never going to happen. Too many noses in the EU trough. The three judges in the high Court action are all involved in 'Closer EU legislative policy' so no axe to grind then, The Supreme Court will, of course uphold this decision. This is part of the Govrenment leaflet every householder received prior to the referendum. . . meaningless twaddle. [ATTACH]48024._xfImport[/ATTACH] Interestingly, the Lady who instigated the High Court case has some interesting support. . . "This woman is a George Soros sock puppet. The True and Fair Foundation run by Gina Miller has a trusteeship, [ see links below. ] That trusteeship is with the "Philanthropy impact", it says "Inspiring philanthropy and social investment across borders, sectors and causes", guess who runs "Philanthropy impact", yep you got it. George Soros. Why does this man's name keep cropping up I wonder ? True and Fair Ms Miller ?. This clearly shows the connection to Philanthropy impact. http://beta.charitycommission.... http://www.philanthropy-impact... Philanthropy impact is owned and run by George Soros." But of course this is all 'conspiracy theory nutterism' and pure coincidence. . .I mean, that nice Mr. Soros would NEVER interfere in the constitutional business of Sovereign nations and groups would he ? ( apart from the USA and the EU of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Other way around, Rodrigo is ridding the country of the mass murderers by declaring them outlaws. You seem to get many things ass about. I'm enjoying this Marty. The media is toast also, their influence is gone, as is much of their income. Oh yes, getting rid of the media is a sure-fire way to a free and fair society.... As for your "mass murderers", do they include the many drug addicts that are being executed? Not a very christian attitude there old boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarly Gnu Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I didn't mention getting rid of the MS media but pointed out they are getting rid of themselves. Again, you tend to perceive things ass about. The program is tackling the supply side (outlaw dealers), addicts are being given free rehabilitation treatment by the Philippine government and nearly a million have joined the program now. It is very successful and both the clean up program & the President are hugely popular with locals. See the problem with living on a diet of Fairfax & ABC is you won't get told any of this stuff or about the utter misery, corruption and violence the drugs and drug dealers have inflicted on that country, you will be told the opposite (many of their staff are users for a start).

old man emu Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Guardian of Friday 4/11/2016 carries a disturbing story that the Brexit result will cause the demise of the High Street Indian Curry house due to an inability of owners to replace the original cadre of Bangladeshi curry cooks who are now reaching retirement age. It seems that the children of these pioneers have succumbed to the opportunities of the Mother Country and refuse to work in the steamy kitchens of these eateries. The Young Ones are pursuing careers in the Law, Medicine, Engineering and Finance. As a consequence of the Brexit vote, skilled culinary experts from the former minor jewels in the Imperial crown are no longer free to pass through the gates around British points of entry. The Guardian was able to obtain a comment from the Royal and Ancient Guild of Cod Cookers. "We rejoice in the result of the recent Referendum. Not only will it see the return of traditional British fare, but will reinvigorate our glorious naval heritage through the freeing of our fishing fleets from the shackles of EU restrictions. Let us march towards a new, glorious era crying "Two cod 'n' chips". OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OME Here is a non-Grauniad link so you don't have to suffer their pretentious drivel https://www.ft.com/content/e72be378-a0ee-11e6-891e-abe238dee8e2 The curry sector backed Brexit and were hoping for easing of immigration restrictions. Currently a non-EU migrant needs to earn about £30k a year to work here. To be honest I am not sure why they need to import workers, plenty of people work as chefs in the U.K. and could be retrained in Indian cuisine.

old man emu Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Phil, When the wife and I were travelling through Yorkshire, we went to a chippy one Friday night for a Pommy baked dinner. The locals were ordering theirs by asking for "something n chips twice". The "something" wasn't "cod" or "haddock". Do you have any idea what that word might be?

I just remembered feeling a bit baffled a number of years ago when my friend ordered it (he is a Yorkshireman). It is the scraps of batter mixed with chips.

Rarely go to Yorkshire . . . the four types of fish usually served at our chippies are Cod, Haddock, Hake and Plaice. Due to EU fishing quotas, Real COD is rare, and is substituted with Pollock, which looks the same, has the same consistency, but is not encumbered with any taste. . . If you had said that your visit was very recent, I'd suggest 'Kebab' meat + chips, very popular now. . .Usually smothered in hot chilli and curry sauce. . . . Yorkshire is indeed a strange area,. . .with it's own variation of English. For instance, ( I read this somewhere earlier today ) : The definition of the word TWERK. 1) Writhing about and wiggling one's derriere in an overtly suggestive manner, usually to accompanying music. 2) Somewhere to which a Yorkshireman goes every day between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM. . .

old man emu Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Looks like I'm going to have to phone a friend ... I'll contact the chippy in Pocklington and get the answer from the Head Fryer.

Apparently 'We the people' own the damn pile. . .not Her Maj. So if we are the landlords, then we have to pay to fix it I guess, altough the lying slimeballs at the 'So Called BBC' ( 'So Called' being their favourite phrase for all the sayings that they make up ) omit to mention that we have to pay a mere £70 Mill of the total bill for refurbing Buck House. . . the rest is coming from the Royal Estates. Estimates have been around the £2 Billion mark in real terms. I dunno, me and a gang of mates from here 'Oop North' could shave a ffew hundred thou off that cost easily instead of using them overpriced cowboy London builders . . .

Too right Marty . . . since most of the expensive areas in London are now owned by ( Mainly ) Arabs and ( Some ) Russian billionaires, you can drive around at night in any of these areas, Mayfair, Park Lane, Notting Hill, Hampstead, most of Islington etc. . . and rarely see any lights on at all in the properties, having all been bought as 'Investments' and left vacant . . . if we, the landlords allow sections of Buck House to be flogged to rich people as fancy apartments, ( With a 'Rear' entrance of course. . .cough cough. . . they obviously won't want to move in any tenants, as that's never the plan. .. this means that the electricity / gas bills will be a lot lower. . .
