Gourd, anyone?
trekbusterTrekkie,
I might have guessed that you’d arrive at the front panting to make some mischief.
Well greenie, if you will lead with your chin……..
I Thought your original question was why he wasn’t on the box on that day, all of mine were at least plausible, not a rambling set of quite frankly laughable assumptions of what he might have said if he had not been thrust to one side on that broadcast date at least
trekbusterBarry was more interesting? Just a guess, whether a reasonable one I’ll leave you you to decide
Or perhaps Nige was worried they would have a clip from his last speech in the European parliament on in the background
Or perhaps because he would be asked awkward questions about the EU money UKIP MEP’s including Nige have been accused of using to pay staffers supposedly working on EU matters but instead were used to manage national campaigns?
Or perhaps because he had spent some time campaigning with Nuttall in Stoke at about the time some shady goings on by the latter about registration of his address on the nomination forms came to light.
Seriously for moment, I have no idea and it would have been interesting to see and hear the exchange between those two, but the last one may be relevant?

trekbusterAccording to BBC Newsnight, over his stance on Brexit: –

I deplore the alleged attempt, which apparently has not been the only time a prime minister has tried to exert pressure on owners to remove editors, even in the case of The Fail. A Completely innapropriate attempt if even elements of the story are true of politicians attempting to control the media.apparently cameron has denied it but Rotheremere and Dacre have not… ( see below)
However it must be said that Paul Dacre is a foul mouthed (according to those who work with him), apparently hypocritical (look at all the money he has taken in EU subsidies for his grouse shooting estates) and thoroughly obnoxious individual who has undoubtedly in my opinion done irreparable harm to the NHS through the stance he has taken on doctors amongst others.
And it may well be in Dacre’s interest that this has emerged now. conspiracy theory anyone?

trekbusterSo to say I’m behind the times (and seeing as the Independent article was only posted late today, your claim could be regarded as ‘alternative’ fact.
Errr, have you checked today?
As of now, the BBC news website has no mention of Obama’s comments).
See above
But that is the problem (as we can see from the Brexit thread), you and your like are not keen on evidence that is actually (erm, what’s the word), factual!
Cheers
Paul
My like??? And what would that ‘like ‘ be exactly?
Classy
The alternative facts are coming from Trump not the media
trekbusterSorry Paul, you are a bit behind the times

Or for those who only believe the Torygraph

And whilst the countries in the current executive order were identified by Barak Obama the method was certainly not. Amateur Hour describes the Trump administration quite well on this one
trekbusterReported by whom?
It has taken just 8 days for the majority of Americans to disaprove of Trump. A record.
trekbusterYou obviously think differently but, don’t be overly impressed by grand titles such as The Supreme Court.
I do think differently and I’m not overly impressed about your (erroneous) perspective on the structure of the Law
Just thought you would like to know:eagerness:
trekbusterOK
Back to the politics without mentioning the 2nd amendment it is. Oh damn, I just did
There appears to be some confusion at the White House regarding green card holders. The WH chief of staff has said the ban won’t apply to those from the seven countries who hold them which seems to contradict the executive order
trekbusterThere is a two page section in William Green’s ‘warplanes of the third reich’ on the Ha139
There are also 5 images and a small amount of text in the Crecy ‘Luftwaffe seaplanes’ by Goss and Rauchbach
Also (for what it is worth) an entry in ‘flying boats and seaplanes’ pocket encyclopedia by Kenneth Munson.
All the above from my limited book collection so I would guess there would be other published texts
trekbusterYes, they are post 911, but it could be argued that the changes made to US Homeland security since then have made the chance of being killed by terrorism in the US so tiny so why has this order been enforced now? As I said, logic doesn’t come into it
But he won’t look into the armed toddler issue as it might annoy the NRA
trekbusterThere is no logic to the ban if its intention is to prevent the deaths of american citizens in their own country, as statsitically you are much more likely to be killed by a US citizen. it would be much more effective to ban all US citizens from entering the country

trekbusterThe problem arises partly because the question on the referendum paper was too simplistic for the eventual outcome and therefore open to very different scales of interpretation.
Some people voted to leave because of sovereignty
Some voted to leave because of immigration
Some voted to leave because of the single market
Some voted to leave because they thought they would be better off.
Some voted to leave because they thought their children would be better off
Etc.
Now it could be that many voted for a number of those reasons, but is is also true that some who voted to leave wanted to do so to get away from the institution whilst still remaining in the single market or the customs union.
The question did not allow for such subtleties and so the actual nature of the way the leave decision is to be implemented was not voted for. Therefore a very poor contract if that what it was, (a point of view I disagree with) or a very good one depending on your perspective of how contracts should be written.
So to say it was the will of the majority of those who voted (not of course the majority of the people eligible to vote) for what is now known as a hard brexit, the one the government appears to want to pursue, is not likely to be accurate.
It Is therefore entirely legitimate, in my view, for the elected representatives of those voters, and those who voted to stay, should scrutinise the government on this issue. this point has effectively been conceded by TM by the Bill announced last week and promise of publication of the white paper relating to it
trekbusterJust look what happens when one hands matters to the ‘left’. Education in crisis. That means we have insufficient capability to properly educate our children.
NHS in crisis. Patient waiting times stretch to infinity. Operations rationed. Ambulance arrival times not what they should be.
Trains in crisis, Greedy left wing trade unions punishing the customer – who else ? Why does the taxpayer pay compensation for a reduced service or, no service when it should be the unions ?
Performing arts. Left wing luvvies Living ever higher on the taxpayer funded hog.
None of this ever involves those on the political right. Perhaps we know how to do things properly.
Or
Education in crisis because of right wing austerity cuts that is having a devastating effect on recruitment and retention of staff. If you cut the budget of schools and colleges by 20% and 80% of the budget is staff salaries…..
Only yesterday grammar school heads were up in arms about the revised funding formula, with many ‘flagship’ state schools asking parents for ‘voluntary’ donations for basics such as books.
NHS in crisis due to right wing ideology forcing market forces into trusts. They bemoan the number of managers yet this is one of the inevitable consequences of such an approach. Waiting times have lengthened , many more operations are cancelled and ambulance response times have dramatically deteriorated since 2010
Trains in crisis due to greedy corporate owners of corporate rail companies forced onto the public by right wing ideology who are only aiming to improve their bonuses and shareholders pockets rather than consider their customers the paying public. When the East coast line was taken back into public ownership due to the failings of a private company it was much more efficiently run, it was only ideology that made the (right wing) government hand it back to their cronies
Arts funding has been dramatically reduced under right wing governments.
So, yet again John, your interpretation is not the only one.
trekbusterYou forget John, that legally the referendum was advisory. It was not a binding vote, So I fear that it is you who are not correct.
Even David Davis said it was appropriate for the supreme court to take a view, that the governement would respect it and that the judgement has not, contrary to the wildly inaccurate Daily Wail headline, made any real difference to the timetable.
