To be honest, I'm not arsed if his employer benefits from EU money.

It's legitimate, and to be honest, I don't see anything untoward.

There could be an argument that some of this stuff illustrates the unnecessary spending of the EU, and I'd rather that be highlighted as a whole as an illustration of the benefits of leaving.

Not suggesting something untoward on an individual level.

Do what I do 

 

don’t fucking read them. 
 

Why sit complaining about about something when you have the power to avoid it? You’re not stupid I don’t believe yet you repeatedly do something that winds you up. Why. I learnt this along time ago and it really helped me 

miamis links are the perfect example. I choose not to read them like anything political on here as it will be spun one way or the other  

you and many others read them get your knickers in a twist scream and shout and get into a frenzy  

don’t read them it’s really that simple  

 

I didn't read them. Anywhere. Miami claimed her family had coined in "4M from the EU". I ignored it as bullshit given the source and thankfully was correct. But the worrying thing is how many people take what these professional liars churn out as gospel? Loads I reckon. Shows how easy it is to convince loads of people of anything if you message it right.

Happens in everyday life. 

I see adverts most days telling me Macdonalds is delicious. It’s fucking grim

They're utter shite - but they do taste good in the right context. 

As in the day after a session when you've not had one for at least 6 months.

Bollocks. Prefer one on the way to the game rather than a dried up macron meat and tato growler.

Fries are sometimes hit and miss.

Not sure what the article is trying to prove, Transparency received 3.4 milllion of EU money whether it’s the U.K. or Berlin office does not matter. Seems a long winded article for no real reason. 

Exactly mate, they received the money, that is a proven FACT, just as I posted weeks ago.

What you posted was that "Swinson's husband's company got £4M from the EU". 

a) its an international NGO not a "company"

b) he works for the UK branch which seemingly received a few thousand of the total

c) its not his "company"

Apart from that - which represented the entirety of your post - it was all fact. Blank space tends to be.

Thanks for that, I’ll sleep tonight.

Shall I respond with the cock up Mrs Swinson did when she was torn apart by Ridgy or whatever her name is on Sky the other day ?

Don't waste your vote on them fella, they’re going nowhere.

There's a trick to getting decent fries. Ask for fries without salt. Guaranteed to be straight out of the fryer. Then get the small packs of salt and salt them to your taste rather than theirs.

I note Juncker himself said yesterday we’d be leaving on January 31st, anyone else share his point of view ?

As much as I’d like us to do, I can’t it happening just then.

I think most of us would like to (if we are actually going to leave) , although like you, I can see it being kicked down the road again. I'm not really interested in much Juncker had to say, as he's as full of shit as our politicians

Listening to some comments this morning about the brexit party, they may have problems. Banks has criticised Farage, and some of his guys have decided not to stand.

Apparently, plenty didn't bother to applaud at times during his speech.

Convinced he'll back down somewhat as time goes on.

If he doesn't, and they do manage a few seats, we may well be delayed again.

Ad serving has changed. It’s naive to say you are not susceptible, whatever you do online, it’s followed. It’s tracked. And companies like mine serve via programmatic, bigger data feeds.

The only way you don’t get served, is don’t go online (oh and while you’re at it put a blinker past your next 48 sheet)

You then become the most hated man in maccies as they have to pack up all the fries currently in the hopper, which then go cold and end up in the bin. Wipe it down then add new fries, remove your unsalted ones then salt up the rest of the batch. All while everyone else is waiting.

I've no idea what that even begins to mean? Is it summat to do with 48Crash by Suzi Quatro? Indeed, is it one of her lines to the song?

If it wasn't, it would be now.

I bet she's still mucky

First anniversary yesterday of the French yellow vests movement marching every weekend

That takes some serious commitment to do that for 52 weeks continuously

I wonder if /when they will give it up as a bad job, clearly they're not getting anywhere with it, or are they?

Not just the vest movement but Macron and Co a tad miffed with the new EU wench, on my dear.......echoes of the 1903's again.....we need to learn our warning from history, and avoid what happens when the Frogs clash with the Krauts.

only realistic measure of how any political party is doing I would say 

Let's see how the polls go over the next few days, could be an interesting end to the campaigning
