  1. Not really. Membership benefits are pretty much the same for all countries. its a standard package.
  2. True, but neither is "if you don't give me what I want I'll jump off the cliff" Thats why, despite what the Brexiteers want to believe, the EU hold all the cards. This will prove to be, at best, a whole waste of time money and reputation, and at worst a **** ****ing disaster of monumentally epic proportions.
  3. Dont forget GM's original: Its their own fault for being drug dealers
  4. The police seem to have become extremely slow in releasing the names of those injured and suspected killed in incidents. At the Westminster and Borough market incidents and now this you have worried relatives scouring hospitals searching for their relatives and the police refusing to release any names. I guess its to ensure nobody gets wrong information until everything has been treble checked - but if my kids were missing and the police were refusing to tell me if they were in hospital or if they were suspected dead I might storm the town hall too.
  5. Ooh look. It seems like mighty Theresa couldnt bully 27 countries into agreeing trade talks first after all. Qu'elle surprise. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40303761
  6. Is that the one about their profits doubling?
  7. Moonraker talked about meeting with victims. I talked about meeting with victims. You're the only one who has mentioned hugging. Lets add inability to follow a sentence to the rap sheet.
  8. Of course, I never said otherwise. But not even speaking to any residents during a visit creates the image of lack of empathy which is fatal for an elected politician. Thats the point sour mash couldnt grasp.
  9. Presumably for insulation and to reduce heating bills - but exterior cladding is expensive, especially on a tower block. Would have been safer and cheaper to line the exterior walls from within the flats
  10. If you think showing empathy for voters who experienced bad times isnt a key skill for elected politicians then you are even more odd than I thought.
  11. We know you have an empathy deficit / personality disorder, so its no surprise that you dont see the need for meeting with people affected. The majority of voters do.
  12. How can you have strong views on the EU when you clearly have absolutely no idea how it works? http://www.europeanlawmonitor.org/eu-policy-areas/in-what-areas-can-the-eu-legislate.html
  13. It is symptomatic though - she isnt leadership material. She's a gurning introvert who still thinks she has a mandate to do what the eff she likes, a vicar's daughter who is out of touch (in different ways) as the Bullingdon boys .
  14. Thanks for the info Fizzy. Appreciated
  15. Its going to be another long close season as four top managers names are leaked as being considered alongside an one random with a patchy record. Against all the odds the random will come out on top and be appointed. Again.
  16. I insulated the inside of my house with PIR. I had no idea it was flammable - just assumed in this safety conscious, regulated world products by reputable brands bought from reputable suppliers would be safe. This is the first world in 2017 right? "Our records show a Celotex product (RS5000) was purchased for use in refurbishing the building. Full technical information on all of our products is available here on our website. If required, we will assist with enquiries from the relevant authorities at the appropriate time. Due to the nature of this developing situation it would be inappropriate for us to comment or speculate further on this tragedy."https://www.celotex.co.uk/
  17. Its all those bastard youngsters unfairly envying people whose only contribution was being born when governments built houses.
  18. You really are an utter utter ****wit with no redeeming features. "The key strength of the Network is its membership which is primarily, though not exclusively, formed from fire and rescue services from across the UK. Through regular meetings and networking, the NFSN had been highly successful in collating, sharing and disseminating pertinent information which is used to promote the wider use of water-based fire suppression systems. It also actively lobbies for the effectiveness of such systems to be more widely appreciated both at local and national levels. The Network remains free from commercial interest with a view that the development and increased application of fire sprinkler technology will be an enhancement of the public good, helping to reduce fire losses within the UK and beyond." http://www.firesectorfederation.co.uk/membership/members/national-fire-sprinkler-network-nfsn.php
  19. No. what is disgusting is that an urgent safety review report was sat on by the government for four years despite a previous fire which had killed six people. One of the ministers who failed to act is now the current PMs chief of Staff. http://www.lbc.co.uk/news/london/west/kensington-chelsea/government-sat-on-tower-fire-report-four-years/
  20. Corporatism is a bigger threat to democracy in Britain than Corbyn
  21. Agree with both. Only 20 years ago as a single bloke on slightly above average wages I bought a 3 bed flat in central Brighton with a mortgage of only two and a quarter times my salary. It was a choice between that or a one bedroom flat in Mayfair (I know, I know). The Brighton flat is now around 15 times average wages and the Mayfair one about sixty. Totally unaffordable even to most dual income couples. We need around 2 million quality houses. Building 100,000 shoeboxes a year and slapping yourself on the back isnt going to cut it.
  22. Thats one thing you're right about (stopped clock and all that). Norway......still Norwaaaaay http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/12/tory-labour-mps-plot-secret-deal-ensure-soft-brexit/
  23. One variant I heard discussed prior to the referendum is that you retain freedom of movement, but you have to have a firm job offer before you move. Mostly window dressing but could satisfy both sides.
  24. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour now has a six point lead over the Conservatives as one in two voters think the Prime Minister should resign, a poll shows. Theresa May's party slipped three points to 39 per cent with Labour up five from the election on 45 per cent, according to a Survation poll for the Mail on Sunday.The Lib Dems were on seven per cent, while Ukip was up one on three per cent. Survation was one of the few polling companies to predict the closeness of last week's General Election which returned a hung parliament. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/general-election-polls-jeremy-corbyns-labour-now-have-six-point-lead-as-one-in-two-voters-say-a3562166.html
