Brexit

[Andyww]

The UK governments of the past 30 years love immigration as it increases economic growth, which we are told is a good thing. Although its not.

China has cancelled one-child policy and certain religions increasing in popularity promote having large numbers of kids. In some countries, women from lower social classes believe its their function to serially produce as many kids as possible throughout their fertile lives.

Its a global issue but largely ignored while golbal warming gets huge amounts of attention. 

I have discussed this with some left-wing people and their reasoning is that all of these people dont consume much, so its all OK. That seems a crazy argument to me because China is consuming more and more. For example Chinese people now use air travel so much they are building 50 new airports and expanding 300 more. While people lie down on runways here if we want to build just one more runway.

I'd have to agree, I could be a nice thing taking granny and grandad down to the local extermination clinic  for a lethal injection on their 80th birthdays.

That's the problem with middle class left PC Brigade. Their thinking is shallow and it just beggars my belief that tgey don't understand the issues. The established affluent western middle class consume vast quantities of resources. The explosion in growth of the affluent middle classes in The BRIC countries especially, but also the Middle East, other parts Asia and even Africa is creating the same volume of consumption per capita but at hugely increased numbers of people in the category.

It really is a global issue but greed, business profits and backhanders are the short term goal of the few that will kill the many.

"Left wing people" and "crazy argument" in the same sentence???

Who'd have thunk it!!

Failed again.  

If no deal is taken off the table tomorrow then the Government is not representing the people.  Expect civil unrest, yellow jacket style.

A cull? FFS Didn't Hitler try that?

Traditionally, as the population has expanded beyond what could be sustained at the time, a cull has happened. When population density exceeded limits that medicine couldn't sustain then there would be mass infections, when population exceeded what poor levels of harvest could be achieved in bad years, then people starved, or when population either just go too dense for comfort or even good years of harvest were not sufficient, then wars happened. 

So, yes Hitler tried that but not just by religious / racial persecution but more generally by the military actions designed to spread out the area that he & his followers could claim.

That link was already posted a week ago.

[JG220]

And it didn’t get much traction. 

 

[ChrisJ]

Was it - signatures almost at 100,000 now, where they have consider it for debate in parliament - that should one of the more fun items on the agenda, although I doubt it would be debated, but stranger things have happened.

[JG220]

The debates though on recent 100k signatures have amounted to little more than a question in parliament.

Look at how successful the top 10 have been (0-10 in case you don’t want to click the link)

17.2 million people couldn't sway the minds of the majority of MP's so a petition is a waste of everyones time.

The only thing that will grab their attention is not being re-elected in a general election.

I think there will be carnage come the next GE - on both sides of the house. They all sound know it all smug bastards when being interviewed on the Radio but how many will actually be out of a job come the day for not delivering what the electorate told them to?

Good lubrication will stop that problem 

 

My lube of choice will be a couple of bottles of Chillean Merlot that my daughter brought me back from a recent trip to Santiago.  A nice alternative to my usual French Claret that may struggle with supply for a couple of weeks.  I believe my planning has been rather exemplary as. I also have some nice English Cheese, South African seedless grapes and finest Scottish oatcakes to complement it.

 

Can't see what all the fuss is about.  Chin chin

Inserted or ingested? Confused of Norfolk 😘

[Kimbers]

I took your suggestion for using it as lube. It doesn't work..........Owch.

Just to check I wasn't using it wrong I used it to shave with.....it definately doesn't work though it hides the gushing blood.

I tried it on my bike chain....nope

On my locks and door hinges......what a mess

I then realised you meant to use it as lubricating your throat. Sadly I was in jail by then on suspicion of drink driving cause I smelled like a brewery!
