THE FIRST OLYMPICS JOKE?.

 

It's 2012 and it's the Olympics in London .

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman want to get in, but they haven't

got tickets.

 

The Scotsman picks up a manhole-cover, tucks it under his arm and walks to

the gate.

 

" McTavish , Scotland ," he says, "Discus," and in he walks.

 

The Englishman picks up a length of scaffolding and slings it over his

shoulder.

 

" Waddington-Smythe , England ," he says, "Pole vault," and in he walks.

 

The Irishman looks around, picks up a roll of barbed wire and tucks it

under his arm.

 

"O'Malley, Ireland ," he says,

"Fencing."

I think voting should be compulsary, you would get a better idea of the true feelings of the country and I think Mrs T was a good PM, in that she said what she felt and stuck to her guns.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

This is racist. Where's the Welshman?

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

Strikes are more to satisfy the ego of some communist union leader than about any rights or conditions of workers.

 

They still get their 100 grand per year.

 

The rules should be changed so that a ballot is not legal unless a minimum of 60% vote in the ballot.

 

 

The rules should also be changed so that if some tosser of a Union leader calls a strike and does not get at least 50% of the ENTIRE WORKFORCE, then said tosser should be sacked immediately.

if the people who didnt vote for the strike or just did not vote, there is nothing to stop them from working on that day...

the union held a ballot and the ballot voted for strike action, it is up to the individual whether they wish to withhold their labour or not.

personally i would like to see the whole country out on a general strike and get rid of this lot, and if it upsets 'their' olympics so be it.

polls show 80% of the UK do not give a damn about the games, that leaves only 20% who do, so perhaps we should call the whole thing off?

No problem with that. Would you be saying the same if Gordon Brown was still PM though?

also people talking about 20-30 % turn out on ballots

 

lets look at what our polctical parties get in the share of the vote in elections, an mp being elected with say only 30 % of the vote

 

where do you draw the line

 

you cant have one law for one and not the other

 

voter apathy needs to be tackled in all walks of life

 

lets see an MP get more than 50 % of the vote to get elected then

yep i dont care who is in power they are all a bunch of to**ers, but we need a govt that is at least voted in

 

Well I agree there. That goes too for the organisation that passes most of the laws we are governed by - the corrupt and undemocratic European Union.

guess who has a seat

 

thats right

 

the corrupt uk that paases those laws and the likes of hague are saying europe takes away from us

back to the G4S fiasco

On Thursday the home secretary said she was told of a "possible temporary shortfall" in G4S security guards for the Olympics on 27 June, not on 11 July, as she previously told Parliament.

In Ms Cooper's letter to Ms May, she says that with a week to go until the Games begin reassurance is needed.

The letter goes on: "Once the House of Commons returns in September, however, we will need full disclosure about the events leading up to the G4S problems, and Parliament will need to scrutinise in detail why things went so badly wrong.

"We will also need to know why you gave such an incomplete and selective account to Parliament, which gave people the wrong impression about what happened, and why you waited until after Parliament had risen to admit that the Home Office had in fact known about G4S problems two weeks earlier than you had said."

In the letter Mr Cooper urges full disclosure of the meetings and discussions that took place around G4S in the run up to the Olympics.

for gods sake and the country's Ms May please resign!!

Yes. AFAIC they're all as bad as one another when it comes to imposing this farce on us.

Saw a similar one on another forum:

OlympicSecurity.jpg

 

It's uncannily like the real private security guard in my experience. I bet if you could see the feet he'd be wearing trainers.

I wasn't going to mention this, but I don't see the harm as I'm not mentioning any names - an old ex of mine worked for G4 Security, he had a criminal record for shop lifting - from the very shops he was supposed to be guarding :lol:

 

The guys he worked with were a mixed bunch, and all had very colourful backgrounds so to speak :roll:
