Wonder why Johnson has just pledged 16.5 Bln to the Armed forces just before crunch day, 1st jan.

[emmie]

To protect us from Johnny Foreigner if they try to get uppity.

Jack//To protect us from Johnny Foreigner if they try to get uppity//
And, if necessary, to prevent personae non gratae from returning to the UK after living abroad.

[Jackdaw33]

Yes Danny, also to rid our seas of illegal immigrants and foreign fishing fleets.

Gulliver won't be coming back, danny. He's worried about the cost of living here.

[dannyk13]

[emmie]

[allenlondon]

Damn me emmie, read back and look at the insults 'lobbed' at me!

[emmie]

no need for it really

[allenlondon]

But there IS emmie. I object to be called 'anti-British' (for example).

I am absolutely pro-British.

Were the White Rose called 'anti-German'? I bet they were, and yet they were the most PRO-German group in the 30s.

because
he and others independently of trump and or biden have realised that the cold war is not dead any more

and he has also realised that China in the transition ( power vacuum presently in the US of A ) they can expand very cheaply indeed

and so has Putin in the east ( clearly west for him)
and the lucky lucky poles are feeling the icy siberian draught ....

and this will be Trump lasting legacy

//But I do call a spade a spade,..//

I beg to differ. From reading your post on which I commented (09:01) I think you'd have difficulty identifying a spade from a JCB. Your "calling a spade a spade" seems to consist of simply chucking childish and insolent remarks at anybody who doesn't agree with you. As it happens I don't agree with you but I wouldn't dream of chucking insolent remarks about.

Alas for you, supporters of remaining in the EU lost the vote. You don't have a clue why people voted the way they did. I and others on here have explained why they did often enough and they don't concur with your reasoning. Even when it is explained you don't understand it. But it's water under the bridge; it's done, it's dusted, we've left. Henceforth every problem that the UK faces will be attributed by some to the fact that we left the EU. I can live with that.

erm 40s and the suthorities didnt ezactly agree with that one
and we dont know really because
no papers exist
none of the trial
it is all transcription of peoples memories in the late forties

in front of Freisler who was notorious at sentencing people to death whilst shouting at them. The white rose convicts were guillotined later that day

// //But I do call a spade a spade,..//
nope
no no no ( sozza PP has been watching scully as thatcher)
in a thatcher voice:
"this phrase is FORBIDDEN my lord on order of one andie hughes!"

"remember my lord rule 1 for Ayyyyyy Beeeee
Mr Hughes writes and then moderates the threads on Ayyyyyy Beeeee as your good friend bobbisox will verify"

PP stops doing his thatcher impression as he is not very good at it

erm no gully - or scully or whomever
I think people want Brexit
The french have given up on fish and the yaaarting is about the armed forces and whether a section will be led by the EU hence the expenditure
