Does the UK need another political party?We could do with one that LISTENS TO THE PEOPLE AND OBEYS THEIR WISHES INSTEAD OF UNDERMINING THEM. SO My answer is YES BUT NONE OF THIS LOT QUALIFY!ViewDate:

Do you have enough facts yet to make your decision about the EU?Why would they all be out of work? Those european companies chose the uk to set up business in because it had advantages for them-if there had been the same advantages in europe they would surely have set up their companies and offices ON the actual continent of EUROPE not a little island just off the coast. They would have set up in france or germany, denmark or sweden. Norway and iceland are NOT members of the EU but they still get along very nicely thank you AND THEY HAVE TRADING AGREEMENTS WITH THE EU. Even Switzerland (a nicely rich country) is not a member of the EU. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Ukraine, Moldova, Iceland, Belarus, Russia are NOT members of the EU and neither (YET) is Turkey- god help the uk if we remain a member when Turkey are allowed to join!ViewDate:

Do you have enough facts yet to make your decision about the EU?India and china have both also said they will be happy to trade with the uk OUT of the EU. The USA only want us in to make it easier for THEM to trade with the EU, trust me it is NOT FOR OUR BENEFIT! Do you seriously think that the USA- in pursuit of mighty dollars would cease trading with the UK? NO WAY. And we would be welcomed back into the commonwealth with open arms, many of our ex-commonwealth have already said they would welcome the uk back- and at least those ex-commonwealth countries actually like us- you cannot say that about the french and the germans!ViewDate:

Do you have enough facts yet to make your decision about the EU?The IMF want us in the EU so they can keep lending us money at their lovely interest rates- which the uk government in their wisdom then GIVE AWAY in foreign aid, while we the british citizens have to repay both the initial sum borrowed (to give away) and the interest on it. They did a wonderful job of supporting greece- NOT.ViewDate:

Are you drinking more or less alcohol as you get older?In my younger days, yes i used to drink quite often, not every night of course, just the usual weekends and maybe occasional midweek if there was a group playing at the local WMC. But these days, i drink very very rarely. I have had one pint of beer this evening which will only be my third pint since new year! In all that time i have shared 3 bottles of wine with my wife and drunk a glass of whisky ONCE. (i hate whisky lol, but it really was for medical reasons, i had a sore throat and rotten cold and whiskey is a great throat soother and germ killer, and thats the only reason i would touch the stuff. So my alcohol consumption is very low and i'll be honest i don't miss it, its nice now and again but not essential and i'd rather have a flavoured milk or glass of orange or cherryade.ViewDate:

Is it ever acceptable for a man to be unfaithful to his wife?It's not something i have ever really thought about, but having seen the question, i think there are good reasons for both sides of the argument. Equally, there may be a medical condition that can prevent a man having sex with his wife- the obvious one is sexual dysfunction, but again illness and such like can affect men just as it does women and prevent the husband from having sex with his wife, so it may be her than needs to fulfil her desires. Its not a plain and simple black and white answer as many of you seem to have expressed your opinions based on a normal health and marriage situation. Admitedly Mr Fox has put the case badly, and made it seem more like the need to sow his seed than anything else without even contemplating any other possible reason, but at 78 you have got to have some give and take for his mental functionality. Some people do have very open marriages and go off with new lovers- both men and women, and some men and some women are bi-sexual and can have a partner of the same sex!!- but still return home to their own "nest" because they love their partner, their husband/wife and sex is just that sex, it is a different kettle of fish to making love as in the marriage concept, and if they are happy with that, well thats up to them (it's not my choice of lifestyle just to make it clear lol). So there is in my opinion two sides to every argument and you should try to view the question from all sides, not just your own perspective and especially not if you are still youngish and healthy. Somebody said no its a sin. Is it? in some societies and religions men have much more than ONE wife, all marriages are legal- IN THAT SOCIETY- so what are the thoughts on that? A man sleeps with one wife one night and a different wife the next- which one is he being unfaithful to? Supposing he has 3 or even 4 wives? all legal marriages which which is he betraying? his first wife? or all of them with each other? Is it still a sin, even though it is allowed in that culture or that religion? who or what defines it as a sin? Food for thought ladies. Food for thought! (oh and i still can't make my mind up which side of the fence i'm on, so sitting right on the fence, just throwing out a few ideas. )ViewDate:

Should Britain agree to take more refugees?Germany may already be regretting taking in Syrians, it seems it is only Merkel and co. that wants them there, not the majority of the actual german people. (Is this what some of you are wanting and asking for in the uk too??) An Afghan man who tore pages out of the Koran and threw them in a nearby toilet ended up making a decision that almost cost him his life, as an angry Syrian migrant mob reacted by chasing him through the streets of a refugee area in Suhl, Germany, this week. In total, over 17 people were injured during the incident, including six police officers and members of the press, according to reports. It remains unknown if the Koran-desecrating man would have survived had there not been a police presence in the immediate area. After the Afghan man ripped up the Koran and discarded its pages in a nearby toilet, dozens of Syrian refugees began to chase the individual who had purportedly ruined their holy book. It took a team of armed guards to stop the rioting men, who then began pelting the policemen and security officers with rocks and steel weapons, local reports stated. “The Syrian men, armed with iron rods, bricks and concrete blocks, then they went completely berserk. They smashed doors, windows, police cars chased the journalists and tossed about with furniture and other things,” read a translated report from DKA. The violence has continued into Tuesday, the Daily Mail UK reports. Migrants “smashed car windows, ransacked buildings and demolished the walls which divide the shelter in the rampage which lasted several hours,” the report stated. The refugee camp has taken in approximately 1,700 individuals, which is five hundred over what is supposed to be its maximum capacity, local reports said. In order to try and prevent future hostilities, German officials are planning on dividing migrants by their ethnicity. Germany expects that about 800,000 migrants will have arrived by the end of the year, quadruple the number in 2014. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has continued to demand that other European nations follow Berlin’s lead in absorbing the hundreds-of-thousands of Middle Eastern migrants that continue to flood into Europe. “If Europe fails on the question of refugees, if this close link with universal civil rights is broken, then it won’t be the Europe we wished for,” Merkel said in a news conference on Monday. “Europe as a whole must move,” she added.ViewDate:

Is it right for the EU to impose refugee quotas on the UK?No, they should stay in their own countries and sort out the problems there. Running away will sort nothing out and it will just carry on forever. The UK already takes far more than any quota both in legal and illegal immigrants. Poland, Romania, and the east european countries must be about empty by now as their citizens all seem to have headed to the uk, so send these other immigrants there to re-populate those abandoned countries. Or send them into the rich arab countries - Saudi Arabia, Dubai etc where the cultures are much more similar and the rich arabs live let them house them all. Just where do the EU propose that the uk keep housing all the immigrants they want to keep sending us? In the council houses that cameron and co. are wanting to kick the existing tenants out of on their proposed 5 year tenancy limits? where will they go to school? in schools already full to bursting? How will the hospitals cope? where will they find jobs? will tax payers have to pay even more tax and see living standards fall even further to keep these immigrants in comfort? Will the food banks grow at an even more alarming rate and form queues as these people join the end for their handouts? None of these eurocrats even think of the problems they cause with their ridiculous ideas and proposals, of course they don't need to, because none of them will affect them, they will be safe and secure in their own private little world, isolated from the reality that affects normal people. Fight and kill ISIS in Iraq and Syria - they who behead babies, men, women and children without exception (and i have seen some more of the atrocities perpetrated by these ISIS scum this evening- they deserve to be wiped out) and create a land for these immigrants and asylum seekers in safety there.
