There's been more rational thought posted on here by us plebs, than there has been by Grahan Jones of late.
Some were almost surreal works of fiction.
I might gather them all together, and put them in their own little thread.
Unless I do that nearer to the next election.

Re: If there was a snap election tomorrow
Bosnia, Serbia, Albania and Montenegro are set to join the EU.....it will take turkey another 15 years to satisfy the stringent political and financial criteria.
Turkey should think itself lucky...they have 15 tears to think of a get out clause.

It might even go viral.
All the fame he ever hungered for.
Up there with Palinisms, in the snigger stakes.

The question is if everyone thinks the same, what happens to the Drachma and the Greek economy, Greek banks? Can any of them survive? Will the position not be cataclysmic compared to where they are now? A run on the Drachma that would resemble a run on the Zimbadwean currency?

PM TO EMBRACE 'MORAL MARKETS'
David Cameron is to stress the need for more "moral markets" in an attempt to avoid political fallout from the ongoing protests outside St Paul's Cathedral. The Prime Minister - borrowing the phrase from a speech that David Miliband would have given had he won the Labour leadership - is looking to reclaim the "responsible business" agenda and Ed Miliband's comments that the Conservatives concentrate on helping the "wealthiest one percent of society". His stance has been echoed by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who told The Times that the Government must look at ways of creating a "kinder, gentler capitalism".

The first four- that's another million workers. Turkey- another five million?
None of us will need to work- none of us will be able to work!

Turkey's population is just under 73 million, at present.
The majority of the country's in Asia.
Israel's hoping to join the party too.

We fund most of that shindig too, through our BBC licence fee.

Yes, there's definitely comparisons to be drawn.
Another failed Internationalist experiment, where we pay for the privilege to be unfairly dumped on.
Time for us to be Makin' Your Mind Up, before we're forced to meet our Waterloo.

Ya but UKIP will not be in a position to change anything, Labour and Lib Dems don't want to change anything, at least we may have some of the legislation foisted on us by Brussels rescinded and brought our Parliament remit

Yeah, you keep on believing that, mate. There is no chance of rescinding any EU legislation - that's not the way the EU works. David Cameron knows it, too, he's just offering empty promises to his Eurosceptic wing.
