He often looks as if he might be wearing one!!! Lucky bastard to still have blonde hair at his age!

What's lucky about that? I have lots of blond hair. It used to be brown when I was younger.

At least it appears nonchalantly unkept. Contrast that with the French President's hair:

Quote

A receding hairline and budget cuts won't stop French President Francois Hollande from keeping his well-paid hairdresser by his side. People are reacting with shock, anger and humor since a government spokesperson confirmed the existence of an official presidential hairdresser who makes 9,895 euros ($10,994) per month and travels everywhere with Hollande. On an annual basis, the taxpayer-funded salary works out to nearly $132,000 a year. That's roughly five times the salary of a typical French hairdresser.

After the tragic events in Nice it is likely that France will need all the friends it has, getting stroppy with Britain will not help their cause.

Silver grey comes to mind, not as preferable at blonde!

But those who met her seem to suggest she quite feminine and not above using womanly wiles to persuade.

Personally, I think she was just a force of nature and her gender was irrelevant. Sure and confident in her beliefs even if you didn't agree with them. Pity she went potty at the end.

What she'd make of Corbyn I don't know but in her pomp she could destroy the current lot and not break sweat.

Yes indeed, the EU is a liberal and democratic construct that should warmly welcome new members of similar ilk, like Turkey for instance, who Germany would wish to embrace in mutual admiration and usher into the fold!

Errr.... Hang on a minute -

Yes, but even if her health hadn't let her down in the end, her party did for her perfectly well. As with the lot of the breed, so evident these past few weeks, they are pretty much all driven by gigantic ego and self-centred desire. Party choice, it seems, is practically irrelevant -all it does is provide platform and power base. They suck - from one extreme right through to the other. I have never felt so disillusioned with politicians - and voters - as I do right now.

Famously, [Kirsty] Wark confronted Margaret Thatcher in a BBC interview in 1990. Downing Street demanded a replacement, insisting that the Prime Minister would only be interviewed by a man.

Let's represent this issue with a couple of symbolic photos.

The first one is 'Before Brexit'. The second one is 'After Brexit'.

Shots taken through my kitchen window.

Rob C · « **Reply #516 on:** July 18, 2016, 04:01:20 pm »

Ray, where do those big rats keep their tits? Could make the second image take on a dfferent hue.

Always look on the bright side... (Of course, that's just advice that I like to offer: I personally doubt many bright sides ever exist - and of those that do, probably temporary ones at best, just like flashes of happiness!)

I've mentioned the arrogance of the unelected EU commission several times and especially its president, Jean Claude Juncker who had the hissiest of fits when the UK voted to leave and wanted to punish them for being so disobedient to the great European project. It seems that I was not alone in my thoughts -

One man, in fact, has made me more certain than anything else that we have made a difficult, painful, but correct decision. That man is Jean-Claude Juncker.

If ever there was a symbol of the arrogance of the European Union, and its utter contempt for its citizens, it is this man.

If only the great British public had known!

But then again your Euros will buy more pounds anyway.
