So why does UKIP bother trying to cook up 100 reasons, when there are only two: leave EU; and control immigration. Both policies easy to implement wih no complications, honest!

For an intelligent person, your doing a really good impression of a simpleton.

Indulge me and I'll resist correcting your grammar.

CBA. (You're just not worth it)

Back to fracking, has a small earthquake here last night, 3.8 apparently, nothing dramatic.

Contrast this with the hysteria over the 3.3 one in blackpool blamed on fracking, where it's the end of the world etc etc.

That's more like it - it's better to raise a smile than to be ignored

Thanks also to TB - shall we book the 10 or 30-minute argument?

Put 'em up, put 'em up!

You can't even blame that on grammar. It's completely the wrong word.
I'm glad I didn't do that whilst simultaneously calling someone else a simpleton.

I can blame it on a number of things, but so what?

at least I can understand a simple statement made both in print and spoken interview without acting like some drama queen.

Yes, I am not a typist, using tablets with auto-correct is sometimes less than great, and yes, being dyslexic does not help, however, even a simpleton can understand the message, but no, that's asking too much apparently, it's obviously more important to have a go at somebodies grammatical errors.

It's pretty childish and pathetic when the message is drowned out by the grammar pedant.

Right, knock yourselves out on this one now....

Stop trying to dismiss this as nothing. You called someone else a simpleton whilst simultaneously using 'your' instead of 'you're'.
Trying to wriggle out of that by attacking the people who laugh at it is ridiculous. If I had done that I would be laughing at myself too, not getting angry with others.

and it would appear you can't read either?

ie. if you're going to get pedantic, at least get it right!

It's not that I can't laugh at myself as you put it, more that I am frustrated by the pathetically absurd posts he put's up, clearly demonstrating that he either can't understand a simple statement, or, IMO, he's just trying to be a clever dick.

Have I walked into the grammar nazi thread?

Pretty horrifying article over on the Telegraph explainig some of the dubious recipients of Dave's ring fenced £10bn foreign aid budget. £27m of which sat idle in a bank account paying just 0.016% interest that no one even noticed for almost 2 years..

Boris and Farage are way out front in the most recent study looking into 'Britains most Trusted Politician'

CMD, Clegg and Milli are all slithering together.

Only a 33,000 person global survey.....

EtA, ffs! Here is me getting all excited thinking I have found the study to end all studies and its detailed in Torygraph link above.

Edited by steveT350C on Wednesday 28th January 19:51

So a global survey?? Why would any one outside the UK have any interest in Farage?

UK participation was only 1,000 and seems it was an internet poll so means less than zero.

Quite surprising, I thought they had spent it all in a hurry to meet targets, rather than, y'know, being conservative with it.

That was also noted in the last paragraph £1.7bn blown in 8 weeks. They must have been throwing it away. s.

The Conservatives promised a vote on the Lisbon treaty. However, the Lisbon treaty was already signed by the time they came to power so any referendum would have been a complete waste of money at a time of serious economic difficulties.

Why can there not be a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty after it has been signed? Why can it not be 'unsigned'?

It cannot legally be "unsigned". We'd have to leave the EU.

Dear God.

I go out for a little walk in the countryside - and I come back to this utter horseste!

We don't have to "unsign" the treaty. We can "revoke" it. We have done this many times before without any problems... as you well know.

If we revoke the Lisbon treaty, then we would have to re-negotiate our position within the EU, or leave.

I'm quite happy with the "leave" option because I don't subscribe to the "ever closer union" option.

I log off for an evening and then find this rubbish posted!!!

I cannot think of any instant where the UK has revoked an international treaty without agreement of all parties.

So you accursed CMD of reneging on a promise of a referendum on the Lisbon treaty.

I pointed out that such a referendum was pointless since the treaty was already signed.

You now suggest in the middle of a massive financial crisis the Conservative party should have effectively had an referendum not on the Lisbon treaty but on leaving the EU.

Then have done so by revoking treaties without any agreements with the other members of the EU.

You really are a kipper.

You do realise those of us who actually want to leave but realise winning a referendum is going to be complex like the Lisbon treaty?

Yep we had that as well I was playing GTA with mates and thought it was a sticky bomb with exceptional performance from my Subs

Puts the fracking nonsense in perspective though when a 3.8 quake can be mistaken for a special effect in a game
