They don't have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.

I can see the pens from our sea wall.

If Russia is a threat to the UK then surely it is just as big a threat to Germany. How does Germany deter the Bear ? Where is their MIRV arsenal stored ?

Only to be expected - "protecting" members' jobs in the defence industry.

Bloody heck - a sensible skate.

Why do we have it ? To deter ISIS ? It sure came in handy in the 2 Gulf wars, the overthrow of Ghadaffi, and the Balkan conflict. It's a drain on the military budget that would be better spent on beefing up the surface fleet.

Keep on thinking free. ( I think that's enough of the Moody Blues appreciation thread ).

Did I read the same article ? "That is not going to be the end of the action though in terms of incomings, and with Puel back in England it is set to accelerate things further."

Well, they might kick us out for breaking the rules.......Maybe thats a way of avoiding the 2 year delay with A50.

The pony wants to know what deal would this be then ? "The first calling point of the UK's negotiator immediately after #Brexit will not be Brussels, it will be Berlin, to strike a deal".

"The EEA Agreement provides for the inclusion of EU legislation covering the four freedoms — the free movement of goods, services, persons and capital — throughout the 31 EEA States. In addition, the Agreement covers cooperation in other important areas such as research and development, education, social policy, the environment, consumer protection, tourism and culture, collectively known as “flanking and horizontal” policies. The Agreement guarantees equal rights and obligations within the Internal Market for citizens and economic operators in the EEA." As EFTA member states are also members of the EEA, they are therefore bound by the 'four freedoms'. http://www.efta.int/eea

"Of course you are, my bright little star.......". How does it feel to be magnetic ink ?

Never heard of the Crusades?

Just answering your question. "By 1000, according to Ronald Segal, some 5,000,000 of Iberia's 7,000,000 inhabitants, most of them descended from indigenous Iberian converts, were Muslim." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors#Moors_of_Iberia

The Moors used to run Spain.

I see you are being careful not to stereotype.

But in the EFTA and bound by the convention on the free movement of labour.

Somebody on BBC radio yesterday said that Foreign Secretary, whilst one of the "great offices", really amounts to very little these days. Trade & Industry, Defence, and in the new setup the 'Brexit' jobs, are more important.

Do you think there will be a position for Jezza ( Hunt ) ?

GO comment on 6 years at the Treasury - "I hope I've left the economy in a better state than I found it."

Any extra effort that Froome expended in today's break is compensated by the 6km being cut from tomorrow's climb due to the forecast 120km/h winds.

I wasn't aware that Fantasy Island had made a comeback.
