Yes - I just read that May will be our new PM subject to the 1922 Ctte approving it. The odd thing is the scale of the **** ups. Leadsome is clearly inexperienced to say stuff that got used against her AND to not be able to dig herself out. eg the "mummy stuff" could probably have been solved with a decent proper apology. But added to the CV fiddlery it was getting harder. She probably did the right thing by stepping down. Give might have been a candidate with some merit, if he had not made such a hash of stabbing Boris in the back after saying for ages "Not me, I'm not PM material" Boris is just Boris - no one really expected much else, except that he might actually attempt a leadership challenge. On the day after the referendum, I tweeted with an @BorisJohnson (or whatever his handle is) "Do you have the balls to trigger Article 50?" Apparently not... Crabb made the huge mistake of being a Christian then doing a Danczuk. So - pretty feeble showing overall... Or pretty standard for politicians. |

I just wrote elsewhe I'm idly wondering if there's space for the UK to position itself as a "not EU" location, and appeal to companies that are wary of putting all their eggs in one basket. Makes more sense for them to stay where they are coming from if they want to do that. If I was a cynic, I might suspect that a hidden motive of Brexit was to allow the big boys in various industries to play a non-EU UK against the EU in a Dutch auction (no pun intended). Nothing to auction. |

As an aside I saw a bit about Denmark and Danish bacon earlier today. Apparently, after some troubles (involving Germany or Us or summat) they turned some poor sandy ground into pig farms and we stopped bothering growing pigs ourselves and bought theirs instead.

Even more mindlessly silly than usual from the turnip. The whole thing was a complete charade, to eliminate all of May's competition. Some of this was opportunistic and some of this was to plan. I don’t believe that. May is just one of those people who has enough sense to adopt a low profile but make it clear that she has real balls and let the other pretenders blow their own feet right off without her actually doing anything. It was deftly executed. Yes. Machiavelli would have approved. Nope. IMO she is nothing special, not bad on actually getting things done but nothing special policy wise. And it makes no sense to have someone who would prefer Britain remains in the EU deciding the detail of how it leaves. Too much risk of her actually being stupid enough to cave in to the EU on the stuff that the EU considers to be non negotiable and end up with something like what Norway and Switzerland have and ending up with **** all that the majority who voted to leave want. Corse the problem for the Torys is that there is no one anything like her on the leave side in the Tory party. It remains to be seen if she has the balls to tell the EU to take their negotiations and shove them where the sun don’t shine and that Britain will trade under the WTO rules just like all of the USA, China, Korea, Japan, India, Canada, Australia etc etc etc all do fine and wait and see if the eurozone does implode completely and that sees the EU with one hell of a bomb under it that may see them get a clue and realise the the basic structure of the EU isnt working and fix that and then Britain can join again if it chooses to. |

If you look again, you'll see that this is what I actually posted (Before you altered the attribution header) quote "hango" wrote in message ... Even sillier than you usually manage. Why do you even bother ? michael adams /quote The point I was making is that its pointless Speed going to all the trouble of dreaming up yet another new nym, "hango" in this case, when he immediately gives himself away by resorting to one of his bog-standard clichés When had he been careful, he could have strung people along for days or even weeks, as he sometimes does. A point which seems to have flown straight over your head, given you saw fit to forge a new attribution header. Otherwise, asking him why he bothers is no more useful a question than it is when asked of any other Usenet poster. You for instance, why do you bother posting on UseNet ? Or maybe more to the point why does someone like Tim Streater bother posting on a d-i-y group when its fairly evident he has no interest in d-i-y at all. But like one or two others, is merely seeking to push a particular climate change agenda and in the process boring the pants off anyone who doesn't share this particular obsession. Or hadn't you noticed this ? nobody knows. He goes to huge lengths to prove what a jerk he is. Nobody knows ? Really ? I'd imagine Speed posts on Usenet same as most people, as a means of passing the time. Like all trolls he doesn't actually care whether people think he's a jerk or not. A point which seems to have completely escaped every self-appointed "Trollfinder General", since the inception of UseNet. And why should he ? Why should anyone make it a be all and end of their lives, to be liked or admired by a group of total strangers on UseNet, people they'll never ever meet, many of whom may be stupid beyond belief, for all they can tell? This may indeed be the basis upon which most social media, and resulting fortunes are based; but that merely shows how insecure many people really are. Maybe you're to young to remember the wrestling on Saturday afternoons. There was one guy I remember Adrian Street; looked like a prototype Peter Stringfellow with long blonde hair. He dressed in bright coloured lycra and spent most of the time prancing around the ring running his fingers through his hair, whole making dirty moves behind the referee's back. He was often matched against "Honest Joe Hardcastle from Bradford" types who wore plain trunks and boots and were no match for Street. Anyway the women hated him. Week in and week out they'd be there, screaming at him, pointing and shaking their handbags at him. Maybe if they caught him outside of the dressing room they really would have handbagged him to death. And Street just lapped it all up, same as many other wrestlers who forged a career out of being hated. Well that's who yourself, Tomlinson, Huge etc most remind me of, to be honest. A load of old women sat ringside, jumping out of your seats screaming and pointing and shaking your handbags; as Speed prances around the ring running his fingers through his hair.

Yes the playground is now Westminster, which I've often likened it to
before. The public in general are taking the **** both here and in the states by voting people in who are disliked by their parties or who just happen to be around when **** happens. Who needs big brother when its all happening in the corridors of power around the world. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

If you look again, you'll see that this is what I actually posted (Before you altered the attribution header) quote "hango" wrote in message ... Even sillier than you usually manage. Why do you even bother ? michael adams /quote The point I was making is that its pointless Speed going to all the trouble of dreaming up yet another new nym, "hango" in this case, when he immediately gives himself away by resorting to one of his bog-standard clichés When had he been careful, he could have strung people along for days or even weeks, as he sometimes does. A point which seems to have flown straight over your head, given you saw fit to forge a new attribution header. Otherwise, asking him why he bothers is no more useful a question than it is when asked of any other Usenet poster. You for instance, why do you bother posting on UseNet ? Or maybe more to the point why does someone like Tim Streater bother posting on a d-i-y group when its fairly evident he has no interest in d-i-y at all. But like one or two others, is merely seeking to push a particular climate change agenda and in the process boring the pants off anyone who doesn't share this particular obsession. Or hadn't you noticed this ? nobody knows. He goes to huge lengths to prove what a jerk he is. Nobody knows ? Really ? I'd imagine Speed posts on Usenet same as most people, as a means of passing the time. Like all trolls he doesn't actually care whether people think he's a jerk or not. A point which seems to have completely escaped every self-appointed "Trollfinder General", since the inception of UseNet. And why should he ? Why should anyone make it a be all and end of their lives, to be liked or admired by a group of total strangers on UseNet, people they'll never ever meet, many of whom may be stupid beyond belief, for all they can tell? This may indeed be the basis upon which most social media, and resulting fortunes are based; but that merely shows how insecure many people really are. Maybe you're to young to remember the wrestling on Saturday afternoons. There was one guy I remember Adrian Street; looked like a prototype Peter Stringfellow with long blonde hair. He dressed in bright coloured lycra and spent most of the time prancing around the ring running his fingers through his hair, whole making dirty moves behind the referee's back. He was often matched against "Honest Joe Hardcastle from Bradford" types who wore plain trunks and boots and were no match for Street. Anyway the women hated him. Week in and week out they'd be there, screaming at him, pointing and shaking their handbags at him. Maybe if they caught him outside of the dressing room they really would have handbagged him to death. And Street just lapped it all up, same as many other wrestlers who forged a career out of being hated. Well that's who yourself, Tomlinson, Huge etc most remind me of, to be honest. A load of old women sat ringside, jumping out of your seats screaming and pointing and shaking your handbags; as Speed prances around the ring running his fingers through his hair. Either that or standing outside the hall in the rain, with big notices saying "Don't Go In, Its All Fixed". As if anyobody really cares. michael adams Lol |
