And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -

Blimey, the Telegraph is on the ball! This was reported some months ago and talks were held between the German government and the EU about it. Maybe someone at the Telegraph did't get enough discount on their new Mercedes. Maybe Mercedes will charge the EU full whack for their limousines to ferry the overpaid mandarins around (surely they should all be travelling by public transport / foot / bicycle / environmentally friendly vehicles / pick your choice by now except that wouldn't befit a senior European Civil ******!)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

In the “old days” I used to get stopped and turned back if I attempted to drive through France with German Zoll plates however, when I bought a car in France on TT plates they told me I could drive in any country. One time I was caught with a new BMW sneaking across from Belgium to France on a on Zoll plates on an unclassified road; I was held by the border police for six hours until they get fed up and wanted to home. They told me to go back to Belgium. The French have always been the ones to pick and choose EU laws.Originally posted by SimonMac View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

There's always the Oostend to Ramsgate ferry, to avoid France completely. Did you try that?Originally posted by Paddy View PostComment

Yes, but they were very slow. In those days there was l’ hovercraft taking about 45 minutes or an old rust bucket run by Belgian Railways (RMT) that chugged along so slow it took 4+ hours!Originally posted by KentPhilip View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

I took the Oostend to Ramsgate ferry a couple of times 3 years ago. Run by eastern europeans it was stuck in a 25-year old time warp.
They ran an old Townsend Thoreson ferry, the sister to the Herald of Free Enterprise which capsized in nearby Zeebrugge.
I could only hope the bow doors were shut..Comment
