Hi All,
Agent K – Do you happen to know where I can view MEP’s attendance records ? I have Googled but for the main just keep getting news articles no official site comes up in the search. What I did see how ever was an article claiming that all MEP’s from the UK have a bad record for voting as an example, but admittedly this was an old article so would really apreciate to see an up to date figure please.

Bruce – What do you class as hate speech apart from the obvious please as I was banned from another forum for using the term snowflake, so not wishing to go the same way on here would please give some parameters ? …..:eagerness:

Geoff.

Hi All,
Fingers crossed looks like it’s some good news about this working airfield at last, This below from the XM655 http://www.facebook.com/avrovulcanxm655 ……:eagerness:

11 March 2019 Press Release

Stratford News

[HR][/HR] Stratford-on-Avon District Council’s Cabinet has today, Monday 11 March, approved a report giving authority to make, confirm and implement a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to acquire Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield.
Cllr Lynda Organ, Resources and Property Portfolio says: “This is the next major milestone in the Compulsory Purchase Order process. Negotiations have been ongoing with the owners, which is all part of the CPO process, for the voluntary acquisition of the Order Land.
“However after today’s decision the CPO will now run in parallel to the negotiations in order to guarantee acquisition of the land and safeguard its operational use. The Order Land is an important employment site, of which there is a shortage within the District, supporting a number of local jobs.”
The District Council has been negotiating with the landowner about the possible voluntary sale of the land – a legal requirement before any CPO can be launched.
The District Council has also investigated how the airfield would be managed in the future and consortia that could operate the airfield in partnership with the District Council – providing a financial return – have already been identified.
The District Council’s budget for the next financial year next year (2019/20) has approved funding to cover the legal costs associated with the Compulsory Purchase Order and support a key part of the District Council’s adopted Core Strategy of committing to supporting aviation activity at Wellesbourne Airfield. Also in the recent budget consultation, 61% of respondents supported the District Council’s proposals for Wellesbourne Airfield.

Hi All,
IMHO the biggest ally they could have used in the negotiations never got a look in Mr Farage. Though many cannot stand him he has been banging on about Brexit for many,many years and for the most mocked by all sides before the referendum. He understands more than any for the most the workings of the EU (Unelected) Parliament, especially of the so called conservative Brexiteer’s IMPO and would have been such a great advisor in the Mrs May (Remainer) discussions had she indeed been genuine about her alleged 100%commitment to escape the shackles of the EU.

You have to wonder deep down if all this indecisiveness is planned ? If it isn’t then it really just shows how inept the conservatives are at running the government and should vacate so we can elect a new government. Despite her and others claims all she and the conservative Brexiteers have done have suddenly jumped on the popularity Brexit campaign that was started by Mr Farage then claimed it as they’re own idea and plan.

Hi All,
Now the colour! As always Michaels detailed scenic background brings the Jag’s in the foreground to life even at this early stage………….:cool:

The new Jaguar painting has paint on it now. I lay it on and scrape it off until I get the effect I want. Later, I can overpaint to correct mistakes. The first person to see this said it made her slightly uncomfortable looking at the skewed horizon and the gaggle of jets. Hmmm, that’s good but not good enough; I want it to make the viewer Very uncomfortable when looking at it. Ideally they will reach for a wall to steady themselves.

I have covered the background with paint but will continue to change it until I like it. The bottom left needs to be darker to stop your eye from falling off the picture, the edges need to be less sharp and I don’t like the little Jaguar at the far end of the loch, so that will be scraped off and replaced with a different drawing.
The sky is a bit of a flexible feast but it is getting to where I want it. The whole thing looks a bit too comfortable for my liking but I can fix that.[ATTACH=JSON]{“alt”:”Click image for larger version Name:t55916130_10156242608107825_9190489887495684096_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-lht6-1.xx&oh=e721a5e65762f7c7c28fcfdef4c72af1&oe=5D3FB17B.jpg Views:t0 Size:t104.6 KB ID:t3857727″,”data-align”:”none”,”data-attachmentid”:”3857727″,”data-size”:”full”,”title”:”55916130_10156242608107825_9190489887495684096_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-lht6-1.xx&oh=e721a5e65762f7c7c28fcfdef4c72af1&oe=5D3FB17B.jpg”}[/ATTACH]

Hi All,
Unfortunately both sides of the argument have attracted radicals to each IMPO, it just ruins the core of what the referendum decided sadly, if no deal is to be made then let’s just leave simple. The UK can always survive by making alternative deals separately with individual countries, the only reason the EU do not want the UK to leave is because of the financial contribution this country gives IMPO.

Why should we be governed by unelected ministers that enforce they’re Rules/Regulations and Laws ? that are abused I mean we cannot kick European criminals back home because it is they’re human right to be here even if they break the law, never mind the justice system in the UK being a joke. Before anybody screams whatever just imagine your the victim of someone who has no right to be in this country, dare I say experiences a family members loss of life etc. etc. you may think differently.

Also I will point out that I am in no affiliation with any group political party etc.etc.etc. just a plain speaker who thinks enough is enough!

Hi All,
Finally I have watched ARRIVAL 2016 (Via Netflix) Not every Sci-Fi fans cup of tea but I really enjoyed this movie……:eagerness:

A very different type of time travel film just a good down to earth what if movie without too much CGI that seems to accompany this genre at the moment. I don’t mind CGI when it is essential and good but some are really atrocious (Black Panther) even though having millions spent on them.

Starring:- Amy Adams,Jeremy Renner,Forest Whitaker,Michael Stuhlbarg,Mark O’Brien,Tzi Ma,Abigail Pniowsky,Julia Scarlett Dan,
Jadyn Malone and Frank Schorpion.

Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind.
