Christ it must be awfully dull where you stay - I drive into central Glasgow most weekends just to watch the fights.

You aren't the Governor-General by any chance, TB?

I suppose there is a compulsory election date in 2019; but what happens then will be down to the vote. There are no guarantees in democratic politics because [so unfair] all the idiots have votes, not just enlightened and well informed people such as we.

Ah yes, but I have to cope with living in a democracy of people educated in the British education system, whose main sources of information appear to be social media and television programmes such as The Jeremy Kyle Show.

Never mind; just fake an illness and think of the pension.

Italy Juncker: Italians must work harder and be less corrupt

How does anyone reply? Like this? "Ok, we'll go to work more often, and try not to be so corrupt. We can stop saying we have 6 bambinos when we only have 1. Maybe we'll say we have only 3 or 4. That's less corrupt"

What is he expecting them to say?

Coming from Junker that is rich.

Juncker is a pure 100% self indulgent twat, enough has been said of his idiotic ramblings here previously. He's the EU's version of Boris Johnson

As an allegedly semi intelligent person he should know not to group a whole group of people together as taking generalisations from that is an insult.

I know an Italian who lives here in the UK and works between 50/70 hours a week in a busy restaurant as head chef and when at home looks after his grand children and has very little time to himself. I am pretty sure he is not the only one. I'm sure many of us know of other examples.

Juncker should take a good hard look at his useless self in a mirror.

US Plods release this video of the recent high profile New Jersey arrest, as far as I can see their own video proves they were being very over officious, she had passed the breathalyser test and their gripe appears to be she disrespected them.

You can read the text of the video here

She disrespected them .. wow what a bunch of pompous idiots. They should have walked away after she passed the test and agreed to differ. Isn't there enough real crime for them to investigate in New Jersey?

To be clear I'm not dissing US cops in general as we have issues over here with way too much police time being given to petty offences like ridiculous claims of hate crime when it involves a mild insult rather than what most of the public want Plod to be investigating. All to appease gobby moaning minority interest groups.

Sometimes you have just to agree to disagree and move on.

Sheesh, it's getting to the stage where we cannot even trust Politicians


Mariano Rajoy: Spanish PM forced out of office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44327573


Looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride for both Spain and the EU over the next year or so, let's hope Juncker doesn't choose to insult Spaniards as well

"Mr Sánchez is expected to be sworn in at the weekend and to name a cabinet next week.
Although he leads the Socialist PSOE party, he is not a member of parliament. Correspondents say that with only 84 lower house seats, the party will struggle to find allies to get legislation enacted.

Great speech from Pedro Sanchez.


Vote for Pedro!

I remember first thinking exactly that in the 1970s about Gerald Nabarro MP and then Jeremy Thorpe MP, who were both pretty disgusting excuses for politicans. Nothing much has changed since then I'm afraid.
