  1. You know what they say ; check, check and check again ! Cheers.
  2. I wonder what happed to him ? He told me he had been a Colonel in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. I said should he really be advertising that ? Cheers.
  3. Absolutely off topic but someone mentioned Stan Boardman on here the other day. Hes 87 and I’ve just watched him being interviewed on tv. They asked him about his family, he said his grandson said “ grandad can you make a noise like a frog ?” He said “ why” ? The grandson said “ mum said when you croak, we’re going to Disneyland” ! I cracked up laughing, tears in my eyes perfect timing, the old ‘uns are still the best, the jokes and the comedians ! Cheers.
  4. That depends; if he was poaching my permission I’d be reaching for the black cap ! Cheers.
  5. I’ve told this tale on here before; my brother was called up for jury service and the case was an old man accused of stealing a packet of bacon, (this was many years ago, now the police wouldn’t have turned up never mind it going to court). At the jury deliberations, my brother told the other jurors it was a disgrace the case even made it to court, the old man was either hungry, or forgetful and there was absolutely no chance of him finding him guilty. The jury passed a unanimous not guilty verdict. Cheers.
  6. It’s gone up by 300,000 in four hours ! Cheers.
  7. Someone should tell that plainclothes FBI man it would help if he didn’t have “FBI” emblazoned on his sleeve Cheers.
  8. Isn’t there a law about pissing in a reservoir ? I know there are local laws here about gutting fish in the water. Cheers.
  9. No I won’t. Of course there’s murder and other serious crime in Saudi and there is undoubtedly miscarriages of justice. Crime IS low and punishments are as harsh as you get, but one thing is certain, if you are a murderer, paedophile, rapist or, strangely enough, a poisoner of wells, you certainly will never recommit. If you are a thief and have been found guilty of the crime three times, with at least three witnesses each time , you lose your hand, which I guess is a very good deterrent for you recommitting . Cheers.
  10. I’ve never believed “innocent until proven guilty “ . If that were true ,logically , no one could be held on remand. If “innocent until proven guilty” were true, a person on remand , who hasn’t been found guilty of a crime, would therefore be an innocent person illegally held ! Of course you can’t let someone charged with a serious crime free to walk the streets, but “innocent until proven guilty” simply doesn’t stand examination! Cheers.
  11. I’m for the death penalty when it’s beyond ALL doubt, as in the case of the murder of those children, the Moors Murderers, the Wests, etc. Problem is the law as it stands says it must be beyond REASONABLE doubt. It could raise the spectre of two tier murder charges/sentencing, as in a defence lawyer could say “ if you are not going to impose the death penalty, you must have some doubt as to the guilt ! “ It opens a legal can of worms. Cheers.
  12. As long as they don’t include Lidl ! Cheers.
  13. Just gone over 1,000,000 signatures in less than two days ! Cheers.
  14. He said it was mandatory for ALL UK citizens. One of his MP’s said today “ it can be used to access government services” . Cheers.
  15. A spokesman for the Tony Blair Institute has just let the cat out the bag ! He was being interviewed and was trying to justify digital ID as stopping illegal immigration, but then said it would help get your child into a good school and help you to shop at Sainsbury’s!!!! Chinese Social Credit Scheme on its way ? Cheers.
  16. Fujitsu has already been mentioned ….anyone remember the Post Office scandal? Cheers.
  17. I tried to link it but couldn’t. Just Google “digital ID petition” Cheers.
  18. When I signed the petition yesterday it was at 300,000, this morning it’s over 700,000 and going up at over 1,000 a minute . Cheers.
  19. And as soon as their benefits don’t go into the bank or you can’t access your bank account or you go to A&E or your doctors or dentists and they won’t see you or you can’t renew your bus pass/driving license/passport what do you do then ? Labour have made it plain , this ID will be MANDATORY ! Nothing short of a general strike will stop them, but sadly I’m just watching a LibDem woman on tv saying what a wonderful thing digital ID will be !!!! Cheers.
  20. It gets complicated with Ireland being in the EU but also in the CTA. At a guess a citizen of Ireland will have to have some type of digital ID whether issued by Ireland or the UK. Who knows ? Cheers.
  21. I had a Saudi iqama, resident permit, that’s fine with me, a foreigner in their country. I was born in England and got by for 73 years without carrying “papers” , why should I need them now ? Cheers.
  22. I’ve got a birth certificate, a driving license, a passport, a bus pass, a NI number, a NHS number, what more do I need to identify myself ? If they insist on this digital ID, why not just give it to immigrants ? I don’t need it. Cheers.
  23. They are trying to link it to stopping the boats, but I can’t make the connection ? If digital ID was simply amalgamation of passport, driving license, bus pass, NI number, NHS number, I could probably accept it. But what’s being proposed is you need it to open a bank account, access the National Health, buy, sell or rent a house, access benefits and any other government services. This looks more like controlling the people of the UK, not controlling illegal immigration. Cheers.
  24. I think it was actually first mentioned in the bible , Solomon comes to mind ? I haven’t read Littlejohn for a while, I don’t buy newspapers and he’s been put behind a “paywall” on the Mail Online. Cheers.
