Exactly, but the tax man would, why can't they be chased out on the laws that we are ruled by. A simple parking charge.
Once saw that done with two police cars, four car park wardens and a senior member of the district council to give them a parking ticket!!! cmon I would have done it for free.I have just had a fixed penalty fine for half parking on a grass verge think I might plead Roma!

Well if we'd have done that the Americans could never have won the war all by themselves, as it was we had to drag it out because you were late for the first one so we knew you wouldn't get there on time for the second one.
And since then, well you've been kicking off & starting them yourselves & then we've been getting roped into them, seeing as how we're your mates ? So be nice to us.

Remember SJ you ran away from Vietnam and Mogadishu, although you did manage Panama and Grenada on your own

I had a chat with a Brit the other day (not surprisingly in a pub). He wants to move to Canada; but, he is overwhelmed by the hoops he will have to jump through to get in .... And here's one for Jaysay. Over here it's the tories who are super tough on immigration. I guess the bottom line is: if you don't have the cash to support yourself, or you don't have skills we need, you don't get in. Well, not legally anyway. There are, of course, exceptions. Haitians got a break, and thousands moved to Quebec (it's a French thing). Race, religion, nationality are not an issue.

Yes, but they don't stay long in Quebec because you have the stupid language thrown down your throat at every turn, because most of the immigrants that come to Montreal or the rest of Quebec have to learn French, most of them go to other Provinces to start business and speak in English. And we don't let any Tom Dick or Harry in Quebec! we do have laws too.

Haitians already speak French. And I don't see a problem with immigrants having to learn French .... I would love to see, in the rest of Canada, immigrants forced to learn and speak English (There's not much call for French in Calgary ) Whenever I cross the border into the US, I always speak French to the US Customs; it underscores my identity as a Canadian.

The trouble is the French always thought they should be top dog in Europe, we thought we were. We were both wrong. After 700 years of fighting each other what do you expect?
But give them credit, they follow EU rules they like and ignore the ones they don't like, result-they don't get put on or messed about with like us.
How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris? We don't know, they've never done it.

Ya Gordon its always made me wonder why the French always want to be so lovey dovey with the Germans, after all it was the Brits they turned to in both World Wars to help bail them out

Re: Frogs boot out Roma
I see the EU has now put the boot into the Frogs over their policy of sending home criminals. The Frogs, will of course ignore it so I wonder now if we will see a few EU flags being burnt down the Champs Elysee? If there is a planned demonstration agaist those parasitic idiots in Brussels, then I may be tempted to join them.

Are you sure it wasn't Queens Park Hospital? BRI never had a maternity unit....though I guess you could have been born in Casualty.
