Theresa May will lose the vote on Tuesday.

Do you agree?

And then what will happen next........let’s see whose prediction is the closest. Perhaps let this thread run about 2 weeks and see who got it right, or nearly right.

Declare a winner just before Christmas.

Over to you ?

Not sure what people you mix with trisher but not one of mine, or any family members have those views.

And for the record my neighbors are Asian Muslims, very good friends, lovely family and extended family.

Just certain countries or any countries?

oldbatty Sun 16-Dec-18 17:19:07

voted to leave and also voted UKIP in locals. Reasons? Immigration from certain countries

Like where?

trisher Sun 16-Dec-18 15:01:28

It's easy really- who are acceptable immigrants? Anyone who is willing to work for next to nothing if we are paying - so Polish/ Any nationality builders, decorators/plumbers/ electricians/cleaners etc.
Who aren't acceptable? Anyone who happens to live in my street/neighbourhood/town. or who has the nerve to expect education or healthcare (even if they have been paying taxes here for years and years)
That seems to be the general way it works anyway. hmm

Olbatty, you could be waiting for a long time for such an answer.

With regard to the Nothern Ireland Border thread, those who have stated they in favour of leaving on the forum have been asked to provide their answer to that problem, but nothing has been forthcoming over very many weeks.

Yes I wonder which immigrants are acceptable and which are not. Hopefully the ones who are keeping our NHS afloat, the ones who are picking our crops, the ones which are cleaning our buildings, the ones who wait on us in restaurants and of course those earning more than £50,000 a year.

My DH is quite worried as she does not earn the above amount so she thinks she may be kicked out!

Still waiting for news on which group of immigrants are unacceptable.

oldbatty thankfully UKIP is dead in the water. Misguided members have either seen the errors of their ways and the more entrenched fascists have defected to Britain First.

Oh we must have secured the last two.

Eat your way through a F&M hamper while you wait oldbatty

£6,000 - and sold out shock

oldbatty Sat 15-Dec-18 15:30:51

This is all very jolly but I await Gabriellas information on which immigrants she dislikes and the merits of UKIP

Anja Sat 15-Dec-18 15:04:47

What a shame they are out of stock Jalima that would have been ideal ?

Jalima1108 Sat 15-Dec-18 11:03:46

Bombay Sapphire for me nigglynellie wink
I can tell the difference!

Although some of the supermarket gins came out tops!

nigglynellie Sat 15-Dec-18 11:02:19

Jalima, Like decanting cheap gin into a Gordons bottle!!! ??

Jalima1108 Sat 15-Dec-18 10:46:30

Anja You could, as an alternative, have sent them an Imperial Hamper each, but unfortunately they are sold out.
Only £6,000 - each

Jalima1108 Sat 15-Dec-18 10:43:58

Actually it was an old article from about 2014; I'm not sure if Fortnum and Mason are still selling these very special beans.
They could have a few tins lurking in a dusty cupboard somewhere, probably out of date - but tinned food lasts for years, doesn't it?

Alternatively, you could buy Waitrose at 32p a tin and replace the labels with something classy wink

Anja Sat 15-Dec-18 08:53:29

Jalima I have seriously considered you request. Could you please provide me with a link so I may investigate further.

oldbatty Fri 14-Dec-18 22:02:33

Please tell me which immigrants you object to? Which countries?

GabriellaG54 Fri 14-Dec-18 22:00:25

Stop hangin' in my space. Don't respond. grin

GabriellaG54 Fri 14-Dec-18 21:57:20

Well, ya know what to do then don't ya...? grin

GabriellaG54 Fri 14-Dec-18 21:56:26

I voted to leave and also voted UKIP in locals. Reasons? Immigration from certain countries and the continued string pulling from Brussels bureaucrats who seem to be in bed with those in France and Germany.

'Toxic hot air'Gabriella
Not nice to be around....

GabriellaG54 Fri 14-Dec-18 20:13:36

I've made Tom Kerridge's recipe for baked beans on sourdough but couldn't eat them as they had crispy lardons in it. Mind you, after taking the bacon out they were pretty delicious but Waitrose has the edge for time taken to 'cook' and value...IMO, of course. grin

GabriellaG54 Fri 14-Dec-18 20:07:30

lemongrove
hmm
I bought 4 tins yesterday and the price has gone down to 32p. shock Unheard of for quality beans.
If we get a Brexit agreement before December, then we can claim early.
As someone said upthread, beans = hot air. Well, that's good news IMO as hot air rises and also keeps you warm. winkgrin
