The government simply lets the message seep out over the tv that British people despite being an island race don't like fish. I and most people I know love eating fish. My father who was born in 1939 says that fish was the only decent protein you could get during the war and long before the American invasion of KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds wasn't fish and chips our favorite food? hmmmmm, feeling hungery know just off to get a haddock and chips...what do you mean that will be £8, bastards!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388697157749171410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-38658402152232107492010-02-05T11:57:52.540+00:002010-02-05T11:57:52.540+00:00OFT but I see Greece has been taken over by the EU...OFT but I see Greece has been taken over by the EU, effictively, under a clause from that fucker, the Lisbon Treaty.<br /><br />Not a good sign of things to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-2334863198269567642010-02-05T11:14:26.856+00:002010-02-05T11:14:26.856+00:00In a small act of defiance against EU rules, this ...In a small act of defiance against EU rules, this very morning I threw a failed eco light bulb into the general waste wheelie bin.<br /><br />I have not taken it to a recycling centre.<br /><br />My bad.RantinRabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557178651491442917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-3168988035135995742010-02-05T10:56:58.500+00:002010-02-05T10:56:58.500+00:00The German Dr Death who is carrying on where Hitle...The German Dr Death who is carrying on where Hitler left off is another example of the EU madness.<br />EU doctors can work over here with no checks carried out into their competence. Not even whether they can speaky the ingrish. Of course there are rules that are ignored as there's no political will to enforce them. A bit of buck passing until the sheeple back down. <br />And here's the best bit. When they kill folk they can scuttle back to where they came from and we can't even charge them. Doctor Death in Germany is still practising over there after getting a small fine from a German court. He wasn't even a real doctor but some kind of cosmetic specialist.<br />But it's just small fry compared to the global warming scams and corruption that are all sanctioned by the EU.vote UKIPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-3852447350314731902010-02-05T10:47:37.885+00:002010-02-05T10:47:37.885+00:00I despair of the whole EU thing.
