I know I'll regret this, but enlighten me. The washing removes a natural protective barrier. That's why they have to be kept in the fridge. But the point that i was making is that you can't buy fresh eggs. And frankly, there's nothing better than a fresh egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Elitist remoaners like myself and PK just make do with cavier, served to us on silver plates on their hands and knees by plebs who went to slightly cheaper schools than Eton, like Sir James Dyson, Baron Digby Jones, Tim Martin and Sir Nigel Garage. Miserable peasant leavers that they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's complex and you really have no idea. The height of arrogance and naivety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about some wise comments from IOM residents as to how they think Brexit might impact on the Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nanny informed me this morning, whilst delivering my freshly ironed morning paper, that the EU has ruled that Gibraltar is a colony of Britain whose sovereignty is disputed by Spain. Nothing much Spain can do about that of course whilst the U.K. is still a member of the EU and protected by that darned Lisbon Treaty.

I should take no notice of nanny as she is obviously leading you astray. Next thing you'll be jumping into pavement paintings and flying up chimneys. If I were you, I would ask mummy and daddy to buy me a book on the history of the Iberian peninsula. What do you reckon "Spain can do about that" with or without the Lisbon Treaty? Gibraltar has been British since 1704. Longer than it was part of the Kingdom of Spain, longer then the United Kingdom has existed, longer than the USA has existed. For centuries, through 15 sieges, Spain has contested British sovereignty of the rock, despite ceding it to Britain in perpetuity in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. Whilst claiming Gibraltar, of course, Spain keeps very quiet about its enclaves Ceuta and Melilla, which it claims are not colonies in North Africa, but Spanish cities! Madrid is not embarrassed by double standards any more than is Brussels. Nowadays, it is not so much the Rock, but the right to self-determination of the Gibraltarians, who voted 98.9% in a referendum in 2004 reaffirming their right and desire to be British, at the time when the hideous Blair was trying to promote a deal for shared sovereignty with Spain. The Rock also hosts an RAF NATO base and guards the strategic entrance to the Mediterranean, so don't expect change any time soon. As ever the EU does not have a role other than that which it assigns to itself in its arrogance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Yeah. Facts are the EU has ruled it’s a colony. The rest of Europe is signed up to protect the status quo, but thanks to some very expensive impending tax bills for some very, very rich people, a lot of money has been spent on convincing you and your fellow travellers that the status quo isn’t as good as an economic, cultural and strategic catastrophe. Baaa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Indeed. I don't suppose that the advent of the European Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive would only have been at the back of one or two of Brexit proponent's minds would it, Jacob and Boris?
