E U. Should we stay or should we leave.

200,000 signatories say that the government shouldn't be spending public money to support the campaign to stay in the EU.

posting it back to either my local m p as she is a Cameron ar$e licker or posting it to conservative h q, by freepost.

 

Now that is a good idea, I'll find my nearest conservative MP and post it off to him/her too

You could label them, "Confidential - Government documents received in error"

 

 

Which, depending upon your point of view, is quite correct - they should never have been sent.

 

 

Exactly where you should send them I will leave to you.

 

 

Just a little anecdote. We suffered from a self-opinionated sanctimonious hypocrite at school who taught us "R I "

Anyone disrupting his class was considered not mischievous, but blasphemous, and punished savagely.

 

We had endured a long sermon from him on the evils of betting, with promises of eternal damnation for punters, with accompanying perpetual roasting and prodding with hot forks.

 

It didn't put me off, merely irritated me, and my revenge was to send him an addressed but unstamped envelope, no return address, and a message inside "Bet you tuppence-ha'penny this has cost you fivepence" (Postage due was then double the normal postage rate)

 

BTW I was put off betting by an enlightened maths master, who showed us the mathematics behind running a book.

If you are going to post your leaflet back, post it to conservative central office, your local MP's constituency office or Cameron's constituency office.

Do not send it to the houses of parliament or 10 Downing street as doing this will attract more costs to the public purse.

My Dad just used to say:- "you'll never see a bookie on a bike"

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

 

The Scots have raised their threat level from "**** Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

 

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

 

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

 

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

 

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

 

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

 

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

 

A final thought - " Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC".

France in 1914 had a population of just under 40 million and an army with a mobilised strength of 1.1m. By the end of the war France had mobilised 8.6m men and lost 1.39m dead and 4.25m wounded, almost 100% more dead and 150% more wounded than comparative figures for Great Britain, with a population of 45m.
