    BREXIT

    Then why didn,t you suspend the person who caused it this time? I,m puzzled, I was suspended for far less ! The news of Boris’s planned prorogation has naturally sent Remainers into hysterics, calling the move “undemocratic“, “outrageous” and comparing the PM to a “tin pot dictator” – all for using a bog-standard procedural technique. It’s set to be an entertaining day… As Guido has reported before, prorogation has historically been used by Attlee, Major and Canadian PM Stephen Harper for political purposes. The move is even less surprising when taking into account the UK is currently enjoying the longest Parliamentary session ever since 1653, so a Queen’s Speech is long overdue. Whilst everyone else is losing their heads, Guido thought it would be helpful to remind everyone that John Major’s prorogation – which he used to cover up the cash for questions scandal – lasted from the March 21 until the 1997 General Election: a period of 6 weeks, compare this to today’s announced prorogation that will result in Parliament losing only 4 sitting days. One rule for remainers, another for Boris.
  2. As did almost every other "name"......and prior to Hull, Eley made them.
  3. The John Wilkes name is that of one of London,s top gunmakers!
  4. Who takes a pitchfork to a gunfight? No doubt about it! And that could be passed on to their supporters, too!
  5. Our "closest partners " geographically, but not politically!
  6. Correct! I,m puzzled.....You keep saying "we"......but don,t you live in Saudia? or is it Thailand? And not coming back here anytime soon? Correct!
  7. A deal with the USA has nothing to do with it! They do not force people to eat rubbish! and some of the celebs (horrible word) and Yvette Cooper saying that illegal economic migrants can move into their house? Maybe that day will be delayed, when the NHS gets back ALL the monies owed by foreign health tourists?
  8. Problem is, our health is going the same way, because we give people CHOICE! Unfortunately, they eat what they like, and to hell with the consequences! Healthy food is widely available both in the USA, and here.........................so why do people eat carp? Advertising, poor food education? Warnings are given on packaging, which people ignore. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink!
  9. Vince, we have found, on all our visits to the Western States, that Walmart have a very wide selection of fruit and veg ! It,s almost first port of call on our trips, we fill up with loads of fruit, which is fresh, and cheap!
  10. Check food standards, and animal welfare in Slovenia, which has open access right across the EU........ I wouldn,t bet on it!
  11. Ditto ! I have visited the USA many times, across 14 States, and have always been impressed with their food standards! Just more scaremongering from Remainers!
  12. Well said, Vince ! The record-breaking migration numbers seen by the UK before the Brexit vote has often been cited as a leading factor in the public’s decision to leave the EU, however the ONS have now realised they have been hugely underestimating migration numbers incorrectly for years. If the public had known in 2016, the Leave vote may have been even higher… The ONS have recalculated net EU migration from 2015-16 to be 16% higher than previously thought (a 29,000 difference), with the incorrect methodology having been used by the statistics authority for over a decade. The ONS have further added to the embarrassment by saying there’s “significant uncertainty” about their estimations since the EU referendum too. Further lays waste Source: Guido Fawkes A new study by researchers at Oxford University has found that the UK and the US are the countries with the healthiest packaged foods. The study notes that “The UK, USA, Australia and Canada ranked highest for overall nutrient profile” in that order, whereas the study found that Slovenia, an EU country with unfettered access to the UK market, ranked far lower. The lead author of the report, Dr Elizabeth Dunford, said that “Our results show that some countries are doing a much better job than others.” Remainers would do well to see how well eastern European countries rank compared to the American food they love to scaremonger about… So much for the scare over chlorine washed chicken!

  13. I think that the VAT is on the commission, not on the hammer price.
  14. 😅 It says, "Take out the nearest one first......" Put it on Ebay, with a reserve.
  15. Better than having a brain that,s stuck.................. Remainers pointing to soft economic numbers in the UK should note that trade between euro-zone member states fell by 6.6% in June compared to the same period last year. That was the fastest such contraction since 2013. Exports from the eurozone to the rest of the world also dropped by 4.7%, the fastest rate since 2016. The EU can’t blame the fall in intra-bloc trade on China… This is massively under-performing compared to exports of goods and services from the UK which grew 4.5% in June, the most since October 2016. Shipments of goods in particular surged 7.6%, driven by machinery & transport equipment. The euro looks over-valued… Source: Guido Fawkes..... What a bunch of no-hopers!
  16. Possibilities......not probabilities? It,s Project Fear again, on a grand scale.....one last desparate effort from Remoaners.
  17. Project Fear on a grand scale....and just as accurate as last time................................. Y YouGov has asked the public the question that has been dominating the political news agenda this week. By a whopping margin, Brits prefer a No Deal Brexit to Prime Minister Corbyn. Of those with a view, 58% would rather leave the EU on WTO terms… Source: Guido Fawkes
  18. Hi Dave, How many 26g, and .410 Winchester & Remington once fired do you have? How much?

    Probably fake news! He is constantly chasing press coverage. A useless wonk. If it really happened! Correct! Correct!
  20. Fresh from sensationally revealing that Conservative Party adverts “were highly partisan”, Sky News Technology Correspondent Rowland Manthorpe has compiled a report on young people and political adverts. Strangely the only two people interviewed in Manthorpe’s ‘focus group’ are political activists for the Second Referendum campaign… Matilda Allan (titled by Sky as “Teenager”) set up an organisation called “New Generation for a People’s Vote”. Athian Akec (titled by Sky as “Student”) is an anti-Brexit ‘Our Future Our Choice’ activist and (naturally) a Member of the Youth Parliament. The other two members of Sky’s ‘focus group’ were cut out of the report. Presumably what they had to say didn’t fit the narrative… UPDATE: Guido has seen Whatsapp messages from Our Future Our Choice coordinating their spokespeople for the so-called ‘focus group’.
  21. As Greta Thunberg continues to poo in a bucket across the Atlantic, it has emerged her trip is not nearly as environmental as she first made out. Nobody could have seen this coming… The €4 million yacht she’s sailing on is made of carbon fibre – a material with a carbon footprint 14 times higher than that of steel, and that “spews out a significant amount of greenhouse gases” during its manufacturing. It’s always worth reminding Greta that flying only accounts for between 2 and 5% of the world’s carbon emissions… GQ’s ‘game changer of the year’ clearly putting carbon fibre over moral fibre… UPDATE: It transpires that the five people bringing the boat back from NYC will first fly over to the States, meaning in total Greta’s PR trip will end up creating six timesthe emissions it would have done if she’d just flown over to begin with
  22. Didn,t the Guardian and Independent morph from the Dandy & Beano? Boris has directed Stephen Barclay to sign the official order to end EU law’s supremacy in Britain, a move that Steve Baker described to The Times as “absolutely totemic”, proving Boris is “willing to leave on a fixed date with no question of extension. It’s the do-or-die pledge in black and white”. Just one of the many jobs May never got round to doing… Whilst MPs voted for the EU Withdrawal Act in 2018, which repealed the original legislation making us members of the EEC, it required a “commencement order” to come into force, which Barclay is expected to sign imminently. Not only does the Government’s move show Boris is totally serious in his Brexit pledge, since it does not involve MPs – by which Guido means Remainers – Parliament cannot interfere with the process. Surprise surprise, Dominic Grieve is not happy. The Tories’ wannabe Remoaner in Chief begrudgingly admitted that he can’t stop the order being signed. He’s reduced to admitting he will have to try to reverse it retrospectively… Source: Guido Fawkes.....again! What,s the betting this NOT reported on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation news? Or Sky? Channel 4?
  23. The EU’s trade relations with South-East Asian powerhouse Indonesia have come under renewed strain with Indonesia preparing to slap a 20-25% tariff on dairy products from the EU in response to the EU whacking 8-18% tariffs on Indonesian biodiesel. How dair-EU! Indonesia’s population of 260 million is over half the size of the entire EU, it’s currently the 16th largest economy in the world and growing at a pacey 5% a year. Indonesia’s trade minister is so cheesed off he’s ordered dairy importers to find new suppliers outside the EU. Indonesia is the fifth largest non-EU importer of dairy products in the world so this is no trifling matter. After Liz Truss’s big cheese push at DEFRA, it just so happens that the UK will in a matter of weeks be the third largest non-EU exporter of dairy products in the world, and is about to regain control of its own tariff schedules, putting it in pole position to cream off the the EU’s market share. Brits get cheap biodiesel and textiles, while Indonesians will get top-quality Cheddar, Stilton, Yarg, Brie, Wensleydale and clotted cream. Perfect! While Civil Servants have been dragging their feet when it comes to Brexit, the Foreign Office has notoriously been the worst when it comes to accepting the result of the referendum. However, it appears that with Boris Johnson now in Downing Street and Dominic Raab in charge the penny has finally dropped at the FCO that Britain is leaving the EU on October 31. The foreign office’s mandarins realise that after 46 years they will once again be able to unilaterally decide Britain’s trade policy. In preparation the department is now procuring £500,000 of training in ‘Advanced Trade Policy’. Better late than never… The winner of the contract will need to “Design and deliver a bespoke, class-room based, Advanced Trade Policy (ATP) training programme” in order to “to ensure civil servants improve their trade policy expertise” and will endure for two years following its award. Unsurprisingly, the FCO has confirmed the contract is not being financed by EU funds… There is no such thing as "EU Funds"................it,s OUR MONEY! Source: Guido Fawkes
  24. It,s because she personally hates Trump! Nothing to do with the backstop, or Brexit, just personal hatred of Trump! She,s a Clinton pal.....says it all, doesn,t it? Correct!
  25. Turned out to be the small spring that pushes the firing pin, broken, now replaced. However, got another problem, previous owner tried to remove cartridhe follower, and slightly damaged it!
