Beckham..what an example of modern day celebrity. His neck is now tattooed so much it looks dirty. He looks like an ex prisoner or old sailor, or deckhand. Blockhead Becks is an ad for Tattoo laser removal which will be a business of the future.

I saw a very attractive young lady this morning, she looked like she was wearing Paisley pattern tights until I realised her legs were packed full of multi coloured tattoos.

A silly girl who has to wake up in the morning and be reminded how to mutilate your body with awful tats that will forever mark you as a simpleton.

There will not be a second referendum on Brexit. The campaign for this has no base of mass popular support and has been rumbled even by sympathetic media outlets as a front for Continuity Remain and a handful of vainglorious professional opportunists. Besides, its organisers – who never expected to be taken literally, seeing their operation as simply an elaborate way to stall Article 50 under cover of a faux-democratic initiative – are beginning to get cold feet, suspecting that an actual second referendum would produce a result remarkably similar to the first

Pete

From the National.

"THERESA May has been accused of trying to buy off her critics after one of the country’s most prominent Brexiteers was given a knighthood in the Queen’s New Year Honours list.

John Redwood, who claims the economic consequences of crashing out of the EU without a deal will be “wholly favourable” to the UK, is to become Sir John.

And, there was surprise too when late on Friday afternoon, Downing Street announced that Sir Edward Leigh was to become a member of the Privy Council."

Why we voted leave
By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 23, 2018
On 23rd June 2016 17.4 million voters told Parliament we should leave the EU.

Leave voters voted to take back control.

We voted to take back control of our money, our laws and our borders.

We voted to be a sovereign people again.

The overarching aim is to restore our freedoms

To become self governing as we used to be

We wish our Parliaments to frame our laws

To levy and spend out taxes

To make our borders safe

To award the precious gift of citizenship to those we choose to invite

We did not vote in the belief that future Parliaments will always be wise

Nor that they will always get it right

We voted to restore powers to Parliament because it is our Parliament

We can lobby and influence it

We can dismiss it and replace the MPs when they no longer please.

I find it surprising that some find it difficult to understand this overriding wish

For it is based on our long standing pursuit of freedom

It springs from our history

The history of the UK is the story of the long march of every man and every woman to the vote

The story of asserting the rule of law against all, however mighty.

We prize the gift of freedom under the law for all on an equal basis

We share an aversion to slavery

A dislike of military rule

A resistance to arbitrary government

A rejection of the patronising errors of elites

A distaste for overmighty bureaucracies cramping our freedoms

A belief that we should be free to do whatever we please unless the laws prevents it

The signposts to democracy run through Magna Carta to the first Parliaments

From the 1660 settlement to the Glorious Revolution

From the Great Reform Act to the triumph of the suffragettes

We carelessly lost some of these freedoms,

casting away much of the power of our vote and voice

by passing powers to the European Union

We allowed the EU to impose laws we did not want

To levy taxes we disagreed with

And to spend our money as they saw fit

Brexit is designed to recall those lost powers

#241055 very interesting stonedyou. That's essentially the same story as the one from the Telegraph I posted first thing.

Could it be that the forces of decency and honesty are finally making a stand? That they are saying

1. This deal may be well-intentioned but it's a disaster. Let's not say any more about it.
2. The idea of a second referendum is both ludicrous and morally wrong, and it doesn't even serve any real purpose except kicking the can down the road.
3. The disagreements we have with the EU are absolutely fundamental. They simply cannot be papered over and it is high time we recognized this - something which, to its credit, the EU has recognized for a long time.
4. We got along just fine without the EU for many centuries. No doubt there will be difficulties in the immediate aftermath of leaving, but in time we'll again get along fine without the EU as we did before.
5. The people have spoken. If their voice is ignored, no-one will ever again believe Britain is a democracy or anything like it.

Better a no deal than a bad deal.
Well this Ms May is a bad deal so cut to the quick and get out of the EU once and for all.

SCOTLAND THE FULL FACTS:

In recent years more money has been spent in Scotland than has been collected, whether or not you count money collected from the North Sea oil and gas industries.

This has also been the case over the last 18 years if you look at the revenue collected and money spent per person in Scotland.

That said if you look at overall spending that hasn’t always been true. At times Scotland has collected more in total revenue, including that from the North Sea, than has been spent.

Just read the latest, coincidentally, that 2 drones were found, neither of which was deemed to have been involved. Plod reckons that definitely there were rogue drones, but they go on to say that police drones might had led to some confusion...

Only good thing to have come out of all this is that airports and planes should become safer - in the UK at least. Frightening things drones have turned out to be, as many of us would have realised long, long ago.

[cheshire pete] 29/12/2018 11:08

Anyone heard how the Gatwick drone investigation is going or seen photos of the damaged drone said to have been found?

[cheshire pete] 29/12/2018 11:05

BB: Don't agree with your comment about Redwood being bought by the knighthood. He has stood firm since fighting against Major and the Maastricht Treaty in 1993. Never wavered and 100% top man. Contrast him with some of the turncoats and ditherers in the cabinet trying to position themselves ahead of May's demise.

[bargainbob] 29/12/2018 10:30

Oh you really lost it today Stoned you for the record .

100 per cent Scottish .
Not Minerve

A levels Maths not what it used to be in seems :-)

[stonedyou] 29/12/2018 10:26

minerve is Rat-Bag-Bob

[stonedyou] 29/12/2018 10:20

So 55% don`t think like you.....There`s an awful lot of Scottish people

who don`t think like you isn`t there Rat-Bag-Bob.....And being you ain`t

Scottish either!! You could wonder why are you advocating Scottish issues....

. . . . . . not being a Scot and all?????

[bargainbob] 29/12/2018 10:15

Need to go fun talking to you today Stoned one . Sure Minerve not stopped laughing yet.

[bargainbob] 29/12/2018 10:11

Stoned one the question was on the EU .

As you clearly cannot add up ,instead of saying sorry you bring in another question to divert your mistake. Everyone knows that the 2014 ref was 55 to 45. That's a hundred in case you need help adding .

[stonedyou] 29/12/2018 10:07

So 38% of Scottish voters wanted Brexit and you still haven`t divulged the

% for the Scottish independence vote.....Why would that be???? You`ve said

your good at FIGURES!!!!
