"some of the girls are into prostitution "
There is a little bit of the Attenborough in each of us, it seems.
I remember reading about POWs abandoned mid-march at the end of WWII. In Sam Kydd's "For you the war is over". A Tommy in the midst of the post-war chaos, I have no wish to fall into the trap of making a determination as to the reasoning behind the behaviour of both male and female at that time, except to consider that chaos can grip the mind of any of us when so little of the world around us makes sense.
For any woman to give of herself freely is common enough, but it is certainly men that bring money into the equation.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

#38, Alex, I presume the PM of the day, and, yes, a quick trawl of Wikipedia confirms: "Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the United Kingdom did not take part in the main ceremony, and instead signed the treaty separately a number of hours after the other delegates. A requirement to appear before a committee of British MPs was cited as the reason for his absence."
Of course, subject to the usual caveats regarding Wiki-accuracy.

Well put Roger and Barry.
This country is one of the most tolerant in the world with regard to immigrants that is one of the reasons so many come here. The only problem is when they do not follow our laws and customs after a period of time when settling, the excuse of not speaking the language is just a convenient excuse when most of their or even their friends' children speak almost perfect English.

Peter, I seem to remember at the time it was said he did not want to be in the photo call with the rest of those that signed.

Just read this thread for the first time...sorry for being a bit slow.
Nice to see the EU running UKIP's campaign on their behalf. Nigel's boys won't have to spend very much to get elected at this rate.

Thank you

Absolutely agree that it is about behaviour, however we should not tar all because of the behaviour of a few as Barry's post clearly demonstrates

Peter, a rather sticky situation.
You wrote:

According to my information, t'was the head of state which signed the Lisbon Treaty

All we need is commonsense politics
Get out of the EU.
Withdraw the rights to employment, NHS, education, and benefits
To non UK citizens.
Nothing for them, they will slowly return home,
wages will rises the unemployed will come of benefits and return to work.
Some business will complain, but good business will adapt, re-skill the workforce hovering up the young and getting them in to work

No Man Is An Island
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
We would not be able to stand "alone" at all. Unfortunately the Brits are built on, a lower strata to feed the system!!
Unless you understand the interaction of it all, you will wither.

OK. Here is the dilema. Highlighted by the views on this forum. Australia embraced an all Caucasian White Pure Policy. For a while, it could not be supported. It even prostituted a £10.00 over-all passage to fill Australia with European Whites, in fact, anything to stem the Far Eastern element on their door-step. It could not, did not work.
Have you been to Australia, Keith Sansum1?, I think not. Keith Bibby would curl up and disappear.
I have, many times. It has a multi-cultural community and it works.
It works, because it is tolerant, and understands its tiers. It understood, its tolerance to its neighbours, it had to share its wealth.
The UK, could not function with the Brits running the country by themselves.
For one thing, alone, they are class concious and lazy.
Look at the tiers of class and superiority in Dover alone, and look at what it has produced in the years since the War?
