We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Or perhaps you would just like to leave it there. In the mean time I think Hoof wants your source for the Grant quote. Thems the rules I understand Edited by Sedlescombe (26 Jan 2017 1.05pm)

Sorry Sedles.... but if the right posters make an assertion about anything, they have to provide proof by way of a link or unique reference to justify that what they are saying is true otherwise it is laughed away by your lefty chums. Fairs fair mate, you MUST provide irrefutable evidence that proves that you are not just making up what you've said above. THese are now the rules of engagement everybody... no quotes without proof (and Wiki doesn't count as it is all made up). Go on then. Justify your position that it is immigration not lack of investment that is causing problems in the NHS and Housing with the research that backs this up.

A frequent denouncer of racial discrimination, she stood accused of it when she complained in 1996 that the 'blonde, blue-eyed Finnish girls' in her local hospital in east London were unsuitable as nurses because they had 'never met a black person before'. I took it from the Guardian so the source could not be denounced She's an odious woman, but, you know what, I don't know that she is a racist just based on gaffes she's made, but I believe that about anyone really. Saying something stupid doesn't make you anything other than someone who once said something stupid. Same with her "West Indian mothers would go to the wall for their children" remark. I know what she's saying, but if Farage, for instance, had said something similar he'd be hung up by his saggy face for it

Thems the rules I understand Edited by Sedlescombe (26 Jan 2017 1.05pm) I merely quoted what he said in support of Diane Abbott's racist remarks about Finish Nurses. However, as what he said was just as racist as what Abbott said, I'm happy to label him racist too. Although I would add that I think the term 'racist' has lost any specific meaning anyway. It's just used to attack anyone you oppose who makes any comment that has any sort of racial connotations. I think Grant's tacit support of people who try to chop of policemen's heads far more serious a matter. As for sources, just Google these quotes and you will find a plethora of material from newspapers etc of the time - don't be lazy.

You are right, she has said all of those things, however taken out of the context of the situation/conversation (or whatever) they can be used to mislead those that blindly believe what they read in the paper - especially if it repeated over and over again.
6 lines!!! Might as well have written, Dear parliament, vote for us to do what we bloody well want. Edited by nickgusset (26 Jan 2017 3.51pm)

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

No, David Davies is the one wot wrote it. My apologies Nick but either way I think he did a fantastic job in making it short and sweet which will make that awful woman Gina Miller think again plus Tim Farron who is another first class idiot.

The muppets on the left can't vote down Article 50, especially in the Lords, because they will be signing their own death warrants if they do. A large proportion of people want hard Brexit and more significantly, the Tories will win a massive landslide victory with that promise if an election is called. I love politics.

You are right about the UK but it's a whole new ball game on the continent. Can't wait to see Johnson's 'punishment beating' dvd probably be an import from Amsterdam cheap as no tariff on single market goods. Still we have our new trade deal with Papua New

Because Remainers and economists have got it so right so far haven't they. (That's sarcasm for those who don't get it)

Like many you associate leave with leaving the single market and customs union. Why? Our total trade with the EU is approaching 400 billions annually in the single market. The EU are not anti-UK they are bemused as we have been so successful why would we change that. Simple. Because the single market comes with a free movement clause and people mainly voted Brexit to reduce immigration. If Europe want us to stay in the market then they only need to remove that ball and chain and let us set our own levels. The next sensible objective for UKIP will be to campaign to get all immigration reduced IMO.

I agree with you why most people who voted Brexit did so.Difference is you view it as a positive thing whereas I see it in as a negative genie out of the bottle moment because IMHO isn't the root cause (as opposed to blame) of most people's woes..Interesting to see if UKIP go your way and become a modern day NF (but cleaned up for public consumption like the modern NF in France)campaigning almost wholly on an anti immigrant platform.
