Spot on. In fact, I'm nicking that. Thanks!

Other Internet search engines are available. I asked Bing. Still no further forward. It was all a load of indecipherable gobbledegook.
Much like a Jeremy Corbyn speech in all fairness.

| There have been several posts in this thread that mention the gap widening between rich and poor in our society. I don't disagree with this assertion.
However it needs qualification. There needs to be a distinction and acknowledgement of increased numbers of genuine deserving poor and those persistent and undeserving poor. The latter choose to live by the "society owes me a living mantra" and freeload off society by choice, contributing nothing and squandering every opportunity put their way by intent and consistently skewed poor judgement. Is it fair to keep on feeding this mindset?
Similarly, some inherited wealth among the rich is ill-deserved if it is squandered. Conversely there are many rich people who are self made, creative, hardworking and deserving of their rewards. Is it unfair to make them overpay for this success to pay for the undeserving poor?

Adey alert.
Either that or one of his bitches.
However, resorting to articles in The Mirror and that Taj Mahal of the printed press, The Grimsby Telegraph shows a certain desperation TBH. I am sure we can all find our own slant in a paper of our choice to back up an argument.'"
Deflection,smokescreen & illogical conclusions?
Eddie alert.
Once again, no contribution of any moral or intellectual substance to the attempt to discuss privacy & freedom of the press. Just a vague and pitiable attempt at an insult. So pity it is then. I am sorry for you ME and I hope this shallow persona you put out here isn't totally representative.

There is no direct comparison to be made between May and kim, it's simply that he is the major (I know there are others) current, well known, dangerous dictator; everyone's bête noir if you will. So anyone who shows narcissistic tendencies, dictatorial traits and has numerous soundbites on tap May be lumped in with him ( did you see what I did there).

Well he is cut from the same cloth then. Maybe they share each others' Cornflakes or something.
Quote: Bullseye "Anyway. Anyone bored of politics yet?'"
Now this is a very pertinent question. I think that we up here certainly are. Since November 2014 we have had Indyref, a General Election, The Brexit vote, Council elections, the spectre of Indyref2 and another upcoming General Election. It is complete overkill and it is only serving to divide people more IMO.
I am all for democracy and for the people to decide but when the people DO decide then the losing teams seem to be incapable of accepting the result and so it all comes round again.
Scotland has 45% of its electorate incapable of accepting a NO vote, the UK has 48% incapable of accepting a Brexit vote. The SNP blame Westminster for some reason for "taking Scotland out of Europe against the will of the Scottish people" whilst conveniently ignoring the will of the Scottish people to want to remain part of the UK!
It is all getting a bit too much.

When you quoted me for your post about North Korea & UK being different places...

And I don't own, and have never owned Bradford Bulls either, just to clear that up as well.
As you were also.

| Quote: Highlander "rlSupreme leader Mayrl
I found it amusing, especially the last paragraph about Lynton Crosby. It is interesting that the "strong & stable" soundbite has been less prominent recently. The Tory polling data must be showing some negatives building up with it, although it was obviously polling well to start with.'"
"Strong and Stable" was being lampooned. When you realise you are becoming a joke, I suspect even May could see where it was leading.

I too, am for democracy. The leavers complained incessantly about us joining the EU in the 1970's, they couldn't accept they lost and it took them 40 yrs to get a 2nd vote which they then won. It would be hypocritical to not allow the remainers to complain incessantly, based on the leavers example, until a 3rd vote is allowed....
Best of 3

It won't be just our decision though - the other 27 (currently) members would have to agree to our request. If I were them, I'd be thinking long and hard before allowing a state, which doesn't know when it's well off, back in again. If it goes through, I fear we'll be out for a generation, at least.
