        Giving stuff away because it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling has seriouse consiquences . They will hate you if you just give without asking for anything in return because they see it as colonial condesending and they will hate you if you give less because you are over privilaged b stards.

          Oh come on. The only way we can protect our people is to have more money or might than thoughs who wish to rob us.

            We will have a class of non workers in the UK at some point in the future Duke. We are increaecingly moving to a point where you have to be smarter than average to earn a living in developed countries. Not everybody  is so we as club GB need to be able to support that kind of society. Giving our money away and importing the the down and outs of the world will not help.

              How about starting a peoples leave party Duke ?

              They could focus on not giving the peoples money away to the EU, not allowing EU migrant workers to under cut working class British workers and introducing selective subsidies to support British industry at will. Just a thought but thats not the liberals ?

                Ah yes, Cameron’s leaflet. I read that through thoughly and then  sent it back to No 10 with a short note that just stated “Lies,dam lies, statistics and now this”. At the time I thought that at least the bit about respecting the once in a life time vote was true but I turns out my statement was accurate after all.

                  Also Dave, where do you get the bit about having to apply the same tariffs to the whole world if we do a deal with the EU ? Individual deals between nations are common in the WTO and are often used to overcome objections to charter ratification.

                    Im getting the WTO terms from the WTO web site, did you read the link I posted a few days ago ? If you like I can post it again. We will be trading with the rest of the world under WTO rules even if we stay in a customs union with the EU because that is exactly what we do now. So little has changed in our draft charter that it caused New Zealand to reject it because we are also keeping our EU quotas on lamb imports. The EU is NOT one of the few countries to oppose our WTO charter so we would trade with them under that until they come to their senses and offer talks about a proper trade deal. The only Zero tariff  deal on offer anywhere at the moment is the customs union we have with the EU and its just not worth the cost.

                      I do keep pointing out that the draft schedule that we submitted to the WTO last year is almost exactly the same as the EU one we are trading under now. Apart from with the couple of countries that have raised objections those are the terms we would trade under if we just leave the EU.

                      Two can also play at the legal challenge game. If MPs try to force us into a deal with a customs union but no voting rights like the backstop will ( why will they not put a time limit on that if, as they SAY, they never expect to use it ?) then court action is promised.

                        They like to chance their arm too. I have 34 years of contributions and in the last 35 years I have missed 7 months in potential contributions. Last year they wrote to me asking if I would like to make a one off payment of £800 to bring my contributions up to the maximum. Why would I do that when I am still 16 years away from the new retirement age ?

                            Infact if Mrs May was a leaver then her best bet now would be to run the clock down. She could spend the next 70 odd days split between pointless discussions with the EU and proposing useless tweeks to her deal to the house. When we then hit the deadline and the default no deal kicks in she can rightly say she offered the best deal the EU would give but it was rejected.

                            Come to think of it im not sure thats NOT what she is doing?

                              Corbyn had to table a motion of no confidence after the government suffed such a historic defeat, it is the default course of action, especially after Mrs May dared him to do it. What I dont understand is Labours threat to table more motions of no confidence in the run up to March 29th. Do they not see that this is time wasting that makes the Brexit they dont want even more likely ?

                                I was slightly inaccurate when I said that exclusive mode bypasses the audio engine completely as it still uses the device pipe portion, its the stream pipe bit that gets left out as the diagram in the link below shows.

                                An APO is an Audio Processing object and it represents anything that might be plugged into the audio pipeline like a codec or effects module.

                                  Some more about WTO schedules written by the WTO attatched.

                                      The video is again full of if, maybe, could happen, worst case scenarios. None of it can be tested till we leave. I really like the bit about us imposing trade sanctions upon our selves if we start from a WTO rules base though. Apparently we will join the ranks of north Korea and Russia as a rogue state. WTO rules are only the start of proper trade negotiations but even under them we are not going to put in a schedule that slaps a 40% tariff on all imports and exports. That is the MAXIMUM we could apply and still remain within the rules. 40% is for silly buggers who impose it on our exports first.

                                        The only reason to visit PC World is to pis… Ahem the only reason to visit PC World is if they have a really good deal on something specific that you knew you wanted anyway and you don’t want to wait for a delivery.

                                        If at all possible reserve online, get in, check the contents of the box, pay and get out. Batting aside the sales people as you go ?

                                          Dire financial predictions are all they have left VFM as they cannot be proved one way or the other until we actually leave. All other objections to leaving can either be solved quite quickly after Brexit or are non issues in the first place. One absolute concrete financial certanty though is that if we leave with no deal we will no longer be paying Billions a year to be told what we can and can’t do.

                                            Is there a version of the logitech webcam software for linux ? In the past I found that just installing that got the camera working with everything else on Windows. Something about the kernel mode driver needing a user mode program to communicate with other user mode programs. I believe the problem surfaced again on some systems after the Spectre Bug fixes. Not on mine though.
