Farage was bang on the money about the Ukraine. It seems our "democratic" EU are in favour of democraticly elected governments being overthrown by mob rule and then giving support to the mob. Just because Farage said something controversial doesn't make it any less true.

Of course, political coward David Camoron (he bottled the EU debate with Nigel Farage) has no intention of giving us a referendum on EU membership. He loves the EU because his Tory land owning mates in the country get massive EU agricultural subsidies. The recent proof: Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy during the signing ceremony of political provisions of the Association Agreement with Ukraine at EU council headquaters in Brussels, Belgium, on March 21, 2014. A nice round of applause can be seen being given by David Camoron........

:laugh: no assassins, just the EU were happy to engage with Ukraine on the run up to civil unrest. The EU president was trying and other EU counties were actively trying to get Ukraine to speed up its integration with the EU dispite the west of the country being 50\50 split and the Crimea being 70% anti the idea... Then the pro EU people a minority started protesting and we know how that escalated. Eventually the president went loopy was over thrown by a pro EU minority and then ... Russia annexed the pro Russian Crimea.

Indeed, I believe that Nigel Farage was 100% right on the Ukraine and Crimea. The EU's relentless creep East into the Ukraine, was more than Putin was going to stand for, and the EU's interference in the political regime of the Ukraine, was always going to get a reaction. What we've seen in the Ukraine is a coup against a democratically elected, though corrupt, government this coup backed by the EU that is seeking geo-political advantage. Remember that Russia and the Ukraine entered into a treaty which allowed Russia to station up to 25,000 troops in the Crimea and the Ukraine was handsomely rewarded for that. Also, the Russians have a long standing naval base in the Crimea for their Black Sea Fleet. The re-annexation of the Crimea by Russia (it was only transferred to the Ukraine in the 1964) has been grossly mis-reported in the Western mainstream media that plays to the EU tune. Anyway, if we leave the EU then the rest of Europe - and the Ukraine as a potential new EU monster member state - can continue with their untreated obssession with making a reality of George Orwell's 1984 and becoming the playthings of bureaucrats and technocrats. Personally, I don't want to be standardized, homogenized and harmonized under an EU 4th Reich jackboot.

Nothing stopping us both being away on the same weekend. They will probably be expected to change to a Friday / Sunday in the event of us both being at home. If we are talking about 4 fixtures, liklihood that would be 2 games, fully expect Rovers to move to their Friday night slot.

I don't know the EU was largley self serving in its engament with Ukraine. Not that I think he's right but its not clear cut.

Right now Auntie Beeb isn't in my good books as it is nearly giving one of my staff a breakdown with incessant faffing and bureaucracy, but for what it's worth, here's what that famously left-wing cultural Marxist magazine The Spectator had to say about bias recently. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/03/yes-of-course-the-bbc-is-biased-against-you/

That's how referendums work, matey. You don't have new votes every year to allow for the fact that a new crop of 18 year olds have become available! Of course, you could well argue that once Maastricht Treaty was signed, we should've had a follow up as a different framework was being constructed - but that doesn't mean there was no mandate. One had quite clearly been won. I'm not sure what Paxo's views on the EU are - and neither are you. He published a book on Englishness, didn't he - that should appeal to you. Still, if you will slavishly follow a "public school toff" with a French surname, who spent his working life representing French and American firms and then married a German and started to work in Belgium, you probably aren't very impartial...

Plea to all football fans - VOTE !! At any election, local or national, VOTE!!! Who for? Anybody but the Greens. They hate football and its fans, and they do their utmost to prevent any stadium developments anywhere. Apart from them, it's your choice but, if you love football, kick out the Greens.
