Bristol North West MP Charlotte Leslie backs referendum on Europe

“jimwormold - "@jonboy "... queueing - the only word with 5 consecutive vowels"

Amongst others I'm sure, there is also "miaoued""

Queueing”

“And Sgt_Pepperoni, if you check out my website, you will no longer have to guess.”

“Mr Charlespk

We as a generation (as I am guessing you are also a gentleman of advancing years, shall we say) can often be found decrying the conduct and attitude, toward courtesy, respect and hard work of the young.

For that very reason, may I just say why do you find it so necessary to denigrate others whose only misdemeanour is to disagree with your own views? Patronisation and disdain will never instill mutual respect, and actually dilutes your own arguments. You set a poor example, sir.”

“I was pretty confident that my statement was correct as it was something that made an impression at
the time. Additionally I have first hand knowledge of a Labour MP who was a character and also involved with the LGC. He frequently had keys cut for new premisses and it may have been more that coincidence that he often turned up at the same time as another character turned who was fond bragging quite loudly about the number of properties he had bought,which was an ongoing process. This was several years before the 1997 General election and I have often wondered since if this could be the catalyst for the eventual exponential rise in house prices,that is everybody getting on the band wagon. Not only would the increase in immigration put pressure on the supply but New Labour were also demolishing row upon row of terraced houses all over the country which also were never replaced.

Quote: ''Council house – Decline
Council housing declined sharply in the Thatcher era, as the Conservative government encouraged aspiration toward home ownership.
Rules restricted councils' investment in housing, preventing them subsidising it from local taxes, but more important, council tenants were given the "right to buy" their council houses on very attractive financial terms. The Right to Buy Scheme allowed tenants to buy their home with a discount of up to 60% of the market price for houses and 70% for flats, depending on the time they had lived there. Councils were prevented from reinvesting the proceeds of these sales in new housing, and the total available stock, particularly of more desirable homes, declined.'' Quote

As I have already said this state of affairs persisted until the collapse of the housing bubble, that is after the potential to squeeze blood out of a stone had been exhausted and only then were calls made by politicians to build more.”

“@Robert h
You are wrong Maggie wanted everyone to have a chance of owning their own home ,the idea she had was for the council to put half of the money from the sale of the Council house in a big pot and the other half in the normal fund ,the monies from the big pot was to build more Council homes .But that never happened that was the Councils fault not magpies .”

“@ Charlespk Perhaps you'd like to look up obtuse and abstruse and try to understand the difference, if you can.
@Phurr What border controls have we lost to the EU? Are you serious?”

“Thank you Robert. . I sometimes feel I'm a voice in the wilderness; particularly in Bristol. . What should be made very clear to everyone is that the established, lawful, always very hardworking immigrant population who we all know, respect and depend upon here in Bristol, are as equally perturbed by this state of affairs; as it also threatens what has always been their tranquil and welcomed contribution to the mosaic of our Great western City.”

“The main focus for discussion here has been on immigration,which is valid, but is far from the whole story. Yesterday I saw an article in the Daily Mail talking about the fact that the Borders Agency has been failing to conduct background checks on non EU immigrants and for these there are special rules to ensure that they are able to sustain themselves without becoming a drain on the welfare state. It seems that hundreds of thousands of these have been allowed into the country which of course will impact on residents already here.

This article seems not to be available on line in the original form that I had read in the hard copy. Instead I found the article below and the second one which inadvertently demonstrates that this is a cross party issue. To support this idea further you can see evidence of what this entails in the Youtube video from 31:06

“Charlotte Leslie says according to you 'Dennis' :- "I'm for the referendum - whatever it proposes".

So she has decided to see what the outcome is, and then support a referendum on it.

An eminently sensible position to take wouldn't you say?

The problem is, your generation (I'm guessing of course) have now been so brainwashed by these control freaks in Brussels, that now any who saw, and can now see all the problems are labelled as racists.”

“To Charlespk. Sadly I do believe in democracy but not in voting for the hell of it without any idea what your voting for. Let's debate it when we know what we might be voting for!

PS Do note that the spelling is "Dennis" - to rhyme with tennis. But it does show how little you care about getting the details of what you write right.”
