Interesting to see how all the Leavers are now being described as Racists in some quarters. A cheerful young feller apparently said that if you are white and old you should be dead. I would like to have that conversation with him toe to toe. :)

After all, by his terms I'd have nothing to lose.

Ah! The racism card,i've seen that thrown on the table a lot since Friday.
It's a lazy argument,the person throwing it usually does not have the means of winning any other way.(verbally or physically).
And there is no answer to it.

Noticed in the News that certain people/places had been attacked, putting it down to Racist Brexiteers, wouldn't surprise me it was more down to the Leftie Anarchists, who are trying to get the blame put on us.

The interesting thing is that the Scots clearly have a leader who is trying to look after their best interests. She's looking into every little legal loophole that will advance their case, and is working very hard at it. In a strange way you have to admire that.

Who is doing this for England right now?

But - she is tough, argumentative and trying to do the best she can for her people.

Who do we have? How do we kick back without a leader?

Do we really want Boris? If only Gisela Stuart was a Tory!

I think that Andrea Leadsome could go toe-to-toe with Ms Sturgeon and win!

It's about time.

I've just heard that we have been beaten by Iceland.

Strong leadership needed!

Well one thing is for sure, we need a leader from the leave campaign to take control now, and as for sturgeon, yes she is fighting for what she thinks is right, but she needs to accept the fact that as a whole, the British people voted out !
As For The Vikings. well ! Need i say more :laugh:

Always been the norm from North America, think I have only had the odd one that doesn't attract VAT if item value is over £15 then VAT is payable on the full cost including shipping (but they sometimes don't include shipping).
Problem is they are honest on the import form about the cost unlike the Chinese who normally tell a fib on theirs.
These 3 that I've paid duty on are amongst the very few from the US that it's happened with for me. I must have been lucky with which retailers I've bought from, and every time I've bought from them has been the same low value declared.
Suppose I can't complain that since they've had the new regulations looming, some have tightened up in order to stay the right side of the law, but definitely not one of the regular ones I've bought from.

Your parcel was valued at between £20 and £25 (about $28+)
$54 plus shipping.

When I suspect I may be dealing with such a company, I try to make it worthwhile or stay no more than around $22 (or did) ...but the postage has to be reasonable for that! :)

As if them saying 'out' were all old, poor or dim wasn't bad enough!

I know a chap with a big gun who'd be happy help :laugh: - joking aside, I totally agree with your sentiments!

It's a disgrace that a small minority can make this country appear so shameful.

I see that the sweaty socks are still at it, in saying that Scotland never voted to leave !!! Well i`m sorry but i thought they were a part of the UK, and the UK voted to leave, so that is that. Not to mention the 1 Million scots who DID vote to leave.
Really Pissi*g me off with all their hot air...:-x
She really does seem to think she can stamp her foot and get her own way - hope that yet again, she's thwarted!

Not an unthinkable idea!

It's the one aspect that exonerates her - she does make a stand, and mostly doesn't bend the truth - but she does seem to ignore the fact that she does go against part of the voters.

Here is a Scottish SNP voters opinion.
Edit:You may want to scroll to around the 9 min mark.
It's good to hear one of them being positive and not in a panic!
They may have voted to stay part of the UK last time, and that could be much different a second time - but would they really want to be under EU rule and have to use the € .....I was under the impression that they were after independence!

Talking of leaders, if they'd been in evidence over the weekend, if only to reassure us and the rest of the world, it would have been a far less tense weekend.
It really did feel that as soon as the vote result was announced, they all went into virtual hiding and left the whole thing hanging in mid air. Whether he likes it or not, Cameron is still the PM until a new one is elected, or he appoints a 'caretaker'. The chancellor became invisible - why didn't he say that he would be number crunching or whatever all weekend, and would be making a statement on Monday. ...and Boris played cricket!
They surely knew there'd be many questions, yet none were saying anything, and some just disappeared!
It's painfully obvious that they all arrogantly expected 'remain' to win, and Boris perhaps thought the result would be the reverse of what it was, and a good weapon to use against Cameron so that he could hopefully take his place. Whatever, he did seem rather subdued when glimpsed over the weekend. Still, he may be best of the bunch as long as he allows a proper exit from the EU.
Theresa May was still silent. Not too sure about her because she was a 'remain', but there's speculation that she'd have voted out were it not for loyalty issues. Who knows. I'm not keen on a remain voter for PM this time around.
(Seems Osborne has ruled himself out according to tomorrows papers).

I can't help thinking that an election on Monday would have been far better, and given the rest of the working week time to let the dust start to settle and the anxieties to be addressed.

Do we really want Boris? If only Guiesela Stewart was a Tory!
Boris seemed to go into shock over the weekend- more and more, it seems that they all got a surprise!
No-one had a plan for the immediate aftermath! So now, and after reading the article Boris just wrote for the Telegraph, I'm not so sure.
Gisela Gschaider Stuart - personally, I know little about her apart from the fact that she's German, so her policies are pretty much unknown to me.

I think that Andrea Leadsome could go toe-to-toe with Ms Sturgeon and win!
It's about time.
I've just heard that we have been beaten by Iceland.

I've seen her name mentioned a couple of times on the news sites.

Well one thing is for sure, we need a leader from the leave campaign to take control now, and as for sturgeon, yes she is fighting for what she thinks is right, but she needs to accept the fact that as a whole, the British people voted out !
As For The Vikings. well ! Need i say more :laugh:
I agree about the new PM being an 'out' voter - but I'm not too sure about Boris's intentions since reading yesterdays column: I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe – and always will be
It appears to say that his way, apart from making our own laws and regulations, means little else will change. I read it twice, and it still didn't 'feel' quite right.

They have obviously understated the amount then, otherwise you would be paying about £16 (£8 VAT + £8 RM)
I normally just wait until I need a big enough order so that the shipping gets swallowed up and makes it worthwhile.

And in the News:
maybe we should stop paying sports professionals silly money, give them just a living wage and then a bonus if they WIN

We DO NOT WANT the latest contender for PM the man needs the initial of his surname changed from H to C, he tried to destroy the railways, now doing the same with the Doctors - he definitely gets my vote if I had one for the Back Bench :grr::-x

Last but not least: New study: 6.1 million Europeans have quit smoking with the use of electronic cigarettes

Vapemail: istick Pico (black with black end cap). What a dinky little feller! A doddle to use - nice clear screen. apparently you can upgrade the firmware, too. I'm impressed! Looks especially nice with the Nautilus x-tank on it.

I don't use mine yet, but I was impressed too - my rebate points are almost at 10 again, so I'll get another!

I've always said that there's far too much money involved ...and many undeserving.

I know strange things happen - especially in politics, but he voted to remain, and to delay article 50 - and I'm not sure about either, so hopefully he won't get anywhere.
I still don't know what to make of Boris since reading that article he wrote at the weekend.

That's great news! Perhaps we can get the silly TPD at least rethought once things settle down.

One plus point,it was'nt the French in the next round.
That would have been too much,just now.
Hence my comment above about sports professionals :laugh:
Can the 75 be used the same as the 200 Bob,is it only the amount of watts that are different.Do all profiles etc thru' escribe work the same?
Yes, but found out when I tried to connect it, you need to upgrade to the latest v1.0.51 software, which has quite a few differences
