      Isn't it more worrying for me that Mr Pee and I think alike, rather than an issue for him?

        He has "issues"....................
        but either way it's a chilling thought !
        I'm sure he will love your latest Lou Reed CD

              Who's got what? Come on; tell us all. Do you believe that, just as it is said that "no man is an island", no island belongs to a continent? - so that the various one that I mentioned and others that I didn't are not "part of Europe" purely on the grounds that they are islands? If that's the case, then presumably Australia and New Zealand are not part of Australasia...

                  Actually, I did play a Green clarinet for a while. How did he know:-

                    Understandably so Beefy - but how are you going to promote UKIP with any credibility with that albatross round your neck?

                        That would appear to place you in a most unenviably dangerous position.

                        Anyway, back to more serious matters. Note the first paragraph in http://connexionfrance.com/Cameron-E...w-article.html in which the French are seeking to offer an open-door olive branch to Brit companies to relocate, in direct response to Cameron's speech; this sits rather amusingly (or perhaps worryingly, depending on your viewpoint) alongside Cameron's own pledge in the opposite direction as reported at http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...nch-tax-exiles and indeed gives a whole new meaning to the in-out-in-out-shake-it-all-about jibe, n'est-ce pas? In this instance, however, it is those French who think this way that are making fools of themselves and Dave that's got it right, as demonstrated by the background to his invitation to French businesses to relocate to UK as a tax haven (well, at least as a lower tax régime than where they are now, which indeed it most certainly is).
