Cobra = COBR = Cabinet Office Briefing Room

Wouldn't pass the anti-slavery legislation either

Now you're just making stuff up. Anyway, this whole schtick about darkies overrunning the borders is very two years ago. Now it's all about socialism...

Did you see I went to Dealey Plaza and the museum? It’s convinced me there’s no way Oswald was the only shooter (if he was a shooter at all).

It has some decent art, particularly sculpture and a burgeoning food scene. Houston is better on all fronts and the smaller cities are better still....

Nobody goes to Dallas for a holiday or for fun. It's all bidness. Also, no Texans live in Dallas.

I was there a couple of weeks back and gave the metro a whirl. Very impressive. Lots of little Indian chaps hopping on and off at stations. It was...

Women in Dubai can move freely around with no control over themselves or their dress. A third of Dubai MPs are women. That is not slightly less...

No. Turkey could reasonably be described as a 'moderate Islamic country'. Dubai is a slightly less hardline Islamic country than Saudi or Iran....

Everywhere has all-year-round weather, 7s. :shrug:

Quite right, 7s. :nod: It's a moderate Islamic country which is technically advanced and offers the conveniences you mention. Dubs :cloud9:

Yes but the malls, discounted top notch jewellery, first class hotels and all year round weather mitigates that. 😀

Not being as bad as Iran or Saudi is setting the bar pretty low, though isn't it? While it may offer greater licence than other Islamic societies, it...

If by muslim-dominated you mean the people that run things are muslim then yes. But the culture there is nothing like in Iran or Saudi where women...

I certainly don't think we should be risking life and limb to go rescue her, especially at cost to tax payer. If she finds her own way back, good...

Personally I'd make the customs part of the border as lightweight as possible and if that means that some goods pass through undetected then so be...

Oh I don’t think for a second that anybody really thinks it will see a return to the Troubles of the past. It is just that one side don’t want a...

. . . . . . . .

He's currently going big on the 'funny tinged' thing. Can't say I blame him. If you're going to stand up and denounce the Labour Party's racism, it's...

Ummm...its legal system is based in large part on Sharia law. So, whatever else you want to say about it, it definitely is muslim-dominated.

One issue that needs to be cleared up is his injury situation and if Unai has been possibly protecting him. Seen all sorts of stories and rumours....

This is utter nonsense, we play nothing like Stoke and at times this year have played some of the best football I have seen in years. And if there is...

As someone on Twitter pointed out "Issuing a first apology 5hrs and 29 minutes into a political grouping's existence must be some some sort of...

Who voted for it isn't the point. The point is that civilised people can get along whether there is a border or not. If you put a border between the...

Dubai isn't a Muslim dominated third world sh1thole. :shrug:

DO YOU FÚCKING MIND! This is your mess. You all voted for it. The only people who want a border are a small diminishing number of Huns in the...

I can only guess there is a lot more to it than we all know. A top level manager so bereft of apparent creativity yet he is being seen as going...

I've very little idea what I posted, but I always felt that the EU would capitulate to the extent required at the last minute although I'm not...
