Yes, he is obviously short of words, or at least wise words, therefore he reverts to using emoticons. !!

The odds are still shortening. It's 1/7 in places now!

Getting back to 'Brexit' ........ or not :roll:

A radio interview discussing the origins of the idea of a Federal Europe ...... I thought it was the Americans but this guy goes back to the Nazi's ..... the US just carried on from where the Nazi's left off ...... apparently!

What BBC won't tell you about Brexit: Decline of Britain since 1973 EEC Tony Gosling. Why leave EU?

Video (1h:30m) on how the EU is controlled and by whom .......... certainly organisations I have never heard before even though many of these company's are household names.

I see nothing to suggest that the other members of this forum are just accepting what you pronounce and taking your corner ..... another wild illusion on your part I think?..... in fact IMO they enjoy the entertainment your obsessions provide .... as I do!. I keep telling you, I am smarter than you because I take trouble with my posts, I don't just spout off on an opinion after reading the first sentence ........... I also check when I am not sure of my facts. I am no cleaverer than you just more pedantic in making sure I know what I am talking about. :roll:

Your problem is you cannot refute the logic of my arguments with your own an explanation ....... you just spout the arrogant 'WE' boastful bravado. That's why you are sulking!

All you can do is to reject any information that originates through sources that you consider 'left-wing-loony-pro-Putin-Pro-Assad sites' (although they are not) and make wild pronouncements from news sources that are usually very right wing, anti-Assad, anti-Russia and provide sensational 24 hr lifespan headlines. When they then turn out to be a long way off the facts, when those facts start coming through from the conflict zone...... they never go back on old stories and admit they 'got it wrong' because old-news is not news. As you know, having to admit you maybe got it wrong is difficult .... when you boast a lot and proclaim expertise/knowledge you don't have. But anyone can be wrong, the polite thing is to admit it when you are proved to be so!

But unfortunately, you are unable to give a reasoned view because you lack the ability to compare several reports/views, draw a reasoned conclusion of your own, from known facts and the application of a bit of common sense. Honestly, anyone who believes the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights is a reliable source of unbiased information, has no credibility. :roll:

I am sorry to disillusion you but I am afraid most of what you spout is either simply your badly supported and ill-informed opinion or propaganda straight out of the tabloid headlines. :x

BTW: Were you not told your emoticons have a shelf life? Look at your friends post's and they are all blank .... he now has to rely on the forum Smilies! :lol:

Sorry if this is becoming a bit of an obsession (but I can't help feeling it is a good pointer), but money keeps piling on stay with the bookies. It's 1/8 in some places now.

BFBS Radio every morning at 12 are talking to people on the street to get their views on Brexit and it is not clear at all which way this will go. Very, very few have any real clue as to what it is all about but Cameron's campaign of fear seems to be having an influence way beyond its credibility. I will wait and see!

BTW: I have it from a high authority in the Cyprus civil service that the Brexit vote will have no effect on our entitlement to getting healthcare here, either way. The 'arrangement' they have is with the UK NHS and awards ALL those pensioners living in Cyprus entitlement to be treated EXACTLY the same as a Cypriot National, The EU bit is what that means in Cyprus for ALL those entitled to healthcare in Cyprus, irrespective of where they come from.

I make no apology for posting another 'banking' related article as the contents apply to what is happening now in Greece and beginning in Cyprus (a mere side show) and will happen globally eventually!

Greece is being looted today ..... now ‘they’ have started the sell-off infrastructure (Limassol Port)in Cyprus, with Spain. Portugal, Italy, even in the UK and the US and others will follow. Maybe a good idea for the UK to get out of the EU now and tackle the root of the problem ..... the banking system.

I keep getting shouted down by certain parties lacking any knowledge of the system ...... but I have been pointing this out on the forum for a very long time only to be told I am a ‘know-nothing idiot and a conspiracy theorist’ by those that do not understand even the basics of how the system works! This article explains, in brief, what the overall plan is for not just the countries mentioned but the global social structure as a whole and the author is well positioned within that system to know all about it.

Just how much more proof do people need to see the root cause of all these problems? :roll:

We Have Entered the Looting Stage Of Capitalism — Paul Craig Roberts

The banks don’t want Greece to be able to service its debt, because the banks intend to use Greece’s inability to service the debt in order to loot Greece of its assets and resources and in order to roll back the social safety net put in place during the 20th century. Neoliberalism intends to re-establish feudalism—a few robber barons and many serfs: the One Percent and the 99 percent.

The way Germany sees it, the IMF is supposed to lend Greece the money with which to repay the private German banks. Then the IMF is to be repaid by forcing Greece to reduce or abolish old age pensions, reduce public services and employment, and use the revenues saved to repay the IMF.

As these amounts will be insufficient, additional austerity measures are imposed that require Greece to sell its national assets, such as public water companies and ports and protected Greek islands to foreign investors, principally the banks themselves or their major clients.

OK, and what about those of 'us' who are not retired and are working or are self-employed here in Cyprus?

Your posts are fine. No need to apologize. The odds tell a story.

At least you don't change the subject and compare the EU to US Federalism, Nazis and Zionists! :lol:

Soon it will be about Cspitalism and then Banking. The odds on that are even shorter!'

Oops, it's already been done...
