The subtle difference Drunker doesn't acknowledge is that US voters have an actual choice as to who governs them. The Brussels apparatchiks were never too keen on referenda, but now they are totally outlawed by diktat, because they are very unlikely to deliver the "correct" result. We are out not a moment too soon!

It's wrong to blame everything on Brexit when we know fine well it was the Russians every time!
Naah... it's all due to "Climate Change"! Mind you there are serious clams that CC caused Brexit, and I suppose "The Russians" could e-a-s-i-l-y be behind CC, so everyone is right, really!
Also... CC is causing everyone to go a quite mental (except me and you of course), so that has to fit into the big picture - somewhere.
Climate change can take a toll on mental health, new report says-

And... the great occasion slips into history without even a comment from me - must be slipping folks! Actually, I blame Bre..., no, I mean the crappy keyboard on this temporary replacement tablet computer (as if my normal spelling correction quota wasn't bad enough!).
Some excellent comments elsewhere. Best one of this morning from a DE poster:
QuoteTough times ahead? only if you don't mind having to wash your car yourself, and picking the odd potato or two... whoever thought Brexit was going to be this much fun, we get to leave the stupid club, bathe in liberal progressive tears, and witness daily the self-righteous 'woe is us' meltdown of the liberal remainers. If this carries on for too much longer, I run the risk of seriously overdosing on popcorn. -- Harri
Even the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation is now entertaining. The sight last night of Heseltine being shown how a staunch Tory behaves properly by "young upstart" Rees-Mogg was easily worth sitting through all the other "uncertainty" drivel. Hessa's face at the end said it all. His mace-waving days are long gone, and it seems he's the only one who doesn't know that he should have retired gracefully in the last millennium - where his views belong!

From today's Telegraph:
QuoteSamsung DeX can turn your phone into a computer
The announcements are coming thick and fast. Samsung has a phone dock called DeX that turns it [the new Samsung S8 and S8+] into a desktop PC when you plug it into a keyboard, screen and mouse.
It's a very impressive demo, and a cool idea, but personally, it's just hard to see catching on.
This statement will quite probably rank in the history books with:-
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977
Maybe the "personally" is the get out clause?

QuoteCut all public funding to Tony Blair - This to include protection & expenses
Tony Blair is costing the taxpayer millions of pounds a year in police protection, as well as blurring the line between his work and his business interests. Tony is too vocal trying to split this country asking for EU remainers to rise up against democracy, he needs to be stopped.

Major roads projects could be cancelled because David Cameron rushed out a £11.4 billion roads strategy months before the 2015 general election.
Mr Cameron, the then prime minister, unveiled the Government’s five-year Road Investment Strategy in November 2014, proclaiming it as the “biggest, boldest and most far-reaching road improvement programme” for 40 years.
However, Highways England and the Department for Transport are now exploring whether to cancel, delay or redesign some of the 112 schemes unveiled in the strategy....
Beware Politico's "big bold announcements" because they won't be picking up the bill - we will! Most things Dodgy Dave did weren't properly considered, and his "shoot from the hip" style was all about perception.. May is fully aware of this, hence her frequent "politics is not a game" utterances.
Cameron is rightfully gone, but Gideon is aiming to make a comeback. Anyone who votes for anything that will facilitate this needs be aware of Osborne's political games. The fact that Heseltine is now advocating that he's competent and capable says it all! We elect Eton bully boys at OUR COST!

Right conclusion Eggy, but I'm a little confused as to how you got there!
We took an archaic system (hereditary peers who gave their time for free) and replaced it with a system which encouraged cronyism on an unprecedented scale, then called it progress. Next time we need to a lot less gullible, and a lot more aware of the self-rewarding games our elites get up to! I'm told about thirty of these lords-a-voting enjoy fat EU pensions which are contractually tied to doing nothing which the EU even mildly disapproves of - yet, have any of them declared this fact?

Peers debate second referendum
Lord Newby, the Lib Dem peer, is now proposing an amendment calling for a second referendum.
It reads:
No agreement with the European Union consequent on the use of the power under subsection (1) may be ratified unless it has been approved by a national referendum.
He insists "we are not sidelining parliament" as he addresses peers.
The peer says parliament should not make the final decision without a final vote from the public on the terms of the agreement.
"Parliament should debate and vote on all the options at the end of the agreement", he says.
It's the usual EU elitist tactic of keep on voting until we hear the answer we want to hear, and then stop for evermore - because you'll never be given a second chance to escape.
If their senilityships REALLY cared about what the country wants they'd stop trying to dilute and emasculate what the public voted for. Dodgy Dave made it very clear (and spent over £9M of OUR money doing so) that a vote to leave meant leaving the so-called "Single European Market", so all the rest is pure waffle and obstructionism.
I'm beginning to believe that abolition is too good for them!-

From a friend who saw it recently with family:
QuoteI've seen La La Land, the "huge, smash hit". Almost the worst film I've actually sat through to the end. Plotless, wooden acting, and a screeching, often flat, female lead. If that's what's going to inspire movies going forward Hollywood is going to become a 2nd rate Bollywood.
Pity, it could have been Eggy's fave film, apart from Singing in the Rain that is.

Still a bit pathetic considering the outrage against the will of the people currently being perpetrated. But, there's three months to go, so it will likely get to the magic 100,000. Heseltine getting up to speak is probably worth another 10,000 signatures!

I think you've given us info indigestion again CL!
Maybe you can tell us what's wrong with this recent very readable article?
It is written by someone who is allegedly there, and who seems to be - at very least - putting on a rather convincing act of political balance. Please have pity on everyone and do this in as few sentences as possible.
It's good that Sweden has seemingly managed an 80% reduction in numbers. That's because the number of "refugees" entering Europe illegally looks set for a really bumper year (one wonders where all these new wars are!). Tolerance here is now wearing as thin as the Italian government's cheque book, and a lot of that tolerance was only ever due to far too generous payments to the stressed communities, plus - of course - the fact that the illegals are simply transiting and can soon be regarded as someone else's problem.

Last time I glanced at the Johnston Press accounts they were akin to those of Greece (but without a compliant ECB) - something like £250M of debt which there is no possible way of repaying. This month's ABC circulation figures for their titles are also a disaster, and the group can't struggle on much longer. They've likely already lost the journos who ensured some sort of political balance.
A yesterday post from the ADVFN financial board says it all:

I know that most of you are getting excited re upward share movement but pause and reflect on latest ABC figures where JPR lead the way. For example- Wigan down 35% Hartlepool down 22.8% South Shields down 22.3% Blackpool down 16.9% Sunderland down 15.9% and the mighty Scotsman down 14.5% These falls are seriously bad news for viability of the group. I stick to my opinion that these shares have no value.

Replace the unelected House of Lords with a publicly elected body
The House of Lords is being abused by our elected officials by filling it with cronies. It costs our taxpayers around £100 million a year (probably much more) The House of Lords is the largest parliamentary chamber in any democracy. It is surpassed in size only by China’s National People’s Congress.

Re Oddfellows Arms Hotel: My Great great Uncle - Edwin Taylor Dale - took over the hotel in 1867, as per attached snippet from Newcastle Daily Chronicle. This doesn't show the location of the hotel, but I found a photograph from Northumberland archives dated from 1974 which suggests that the 'corner' building was The Oddfellows Arms....
I can confirm that this was The Oddfellows Arms by virtue of having handled the original deeds myself at some time in the mid 1970's.

Labour for Trump - Funny old world!
in Chat Central
Posted
So... 25 Labour MPs have just signed a motion which indicates that Trump hasn't gone far enough in launching 59 cruise missiles, whilst parties "on the right" are urging caution and saying that he's acted prematurely, and that we need proof.
If you'd even suggested such a possibility a few weeks back you'd have been labeled a fantasist. Should I now suggest that Sweden's terminally deluded liberal-left elites are starting to think rationally about the horrendous problems they alone have created in their formerly idyllic country? Naah.. you can probably take this fantasy thing too far!
