Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July to all my American compatriots!  Grin

We have our squabbles internally but it's good to remember and celebrate the things that bind us together. We're not Englishmen! Go blow something up and/or go shooting (safely of course).

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.

lol yeah politics over here hasn't exactly been anything to hold up as an example the last couple of years.

I still blame Cameron.
Why agree to a referendum if you already knew you were going to have a hissy fit and throw your toys out of the pram when the inevitable happened and you lost.

Given that he only agreed because of pressure from the leavers - it wasn't exactly a difficult thing to predict.

Should have seen the results, signed article 52 the very same day and just got on with it.

Instead we've had 2 years of complete and total chaos.
If you don't agree or intend to abide by the results of  a vote - Don't bloody take part in it !

A lot of people voted out because we trusted cameron to do the job properly.
Oh well.
You know what they say: does not matter who you vote for: the government always gets back in.
And: 'you know when a politician is lying: his lips are moving'.

I hadn't heard the former expression until you said C_A. Has become one of my favorite political sayings.

And don't forget the etymology of "politics"
"Poly" meaning many and "ticks" which are blood sucking parasites. Wink
