EU Referendum

[Doon frae Troon]

Behave yourself

It doesn't take a label for any sensible human being to understand the dangers of swallowing a lot of stuff.

I was not talking about sensible parents.

And so pray tell - what do some have against manufacturers having to put a warning on a packet? To some it might seem a bit unnecessary but no harm done to the manufacturer of said packets - just a few more words on the packet. The real harm is where you get the likes of BoJo twisting and dissembling on this sort of EU measure to make it seem something that it absolutely isn't. And when he is pulled up for it he laughs and with a bit of BoJo bluster he dismisses those critisising him and simply moves on - as if telling these wee porkies is OK and just a bit of fun. Well you know Boris - it's not OK.

Verily I sayeth unto thee that though shalt not putteth balloons up thine nose, in thine ear or up thine bum. Though shalt not flicketh them at thine wife, thine mother of thine wife, thine child, thine neighbour or thine neighbours ass. Any person found stuffing balloons with any substance such as blancmange, custard or any similar substance and then dropping such stuffed balloon from buildings, bridges, cliff tops or any other promontory in such a manner that it could cause distress or suffering to third parties; will be taken from this place to a place of confinement where they will manacled, hung, racked and their bits and pieces will be barbecued before them. For a second offence the punishment shalt be a day trip with jeremy Corbyn.

Good imitation of Blustering Boris there SR.

Im not suggesting that the warnings on packets aren't always a bad idea, I just think that the many millions the EU spend on putting it into legislation is a waste of my money. If your happy with them wasting your money then that's ok with me.

So you think that spending a few million Euros to save children's lives is a waste of money.

£85,000,000.00 for Gareth Bale is probably OK though

What does Gareth Bale have to do with anything ?!

How many lives have been saved as a result of the EU insisting on labels on balloons?

Didn't realise that Bale played for the EU - what a waste of a point.

The point is, balloon labelling is just one very small example of how the EU have created a giant monster to consider regulation and warnings on the most absurd things, spending millions in the process each and every year to justify their existence.

Genuinely - how many people on here actually read the warning labels on anything, apart from to have a laugh at the wording. It's not about protecting humans, it has more to do with protecting companies from the litigious nature that society is becoming - all started by some muppet in the USA suing McDonalds for not telling them that the hot cup of coffee they just bought was hot.

Ah that old chestnut. Of course the facts are quite a different matter.

Good read, is this one of the advantages of your Missus being a lawyer?

It is the same story with the wee lassie that was scarred for life by a dinner lady giving her a bowl of soup that was microwaved to a crazy temperature.

Cases like these highlight the need for a basic degree of care.
The ''Boris's' of this world need to grow up and start learning.

How many folk on here do not wear a seat belt ?

Basic risk assessment is just the same as plain old common sense, we use it every time when approaching at a roundabout.

Who is a "Boris" ?

And I expect the majority 99.9% wear seat belts now

If your the kind of guy that needs notices because you don't have the sence to spot it yourself you obviously need all the help available . Please take care while crossing the road, it's mayhem out there.

.

I don't know, do tell. Please be careful when using the hot tap when you wash your hands, the water is ---------- hot.

Nigel has some views on the current Turkey arrangement.

[video=youtube;u-6VpOK2nOw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-6VpOK2nOw[/video]

don't normally agree with many of his views but its great to see him pointing out some of the issues with turkeys possible membership which i dont believe should or will happen

only marginally related to the subject of the debate and he seemed rather unprepared for the debate-related question at the end

sending boats back was a pr exercise in australia and was not as successful as the media published

it would be even more difficult to police in the med

helping to stop the need to become refugees in the first place is a better idea imo but also hugely difficult

I don't need them but there seems to be at least a couple on here who clearly do.

99.9%...that is good because when the seat belt laws first came in many 'nanny state' thinkers were unconvinced of the need.

BTW my Scottish fitba blog vote is standing at 81% stay 19% leave. Feels about right

I guessing then that you are of the sort who will think that carrying out and publishing risk assessments and mitigations/guidance for players for each hole on your course is a waste of time. Nanny stateism and elf and safety gone mad. And yes - my club has one. And we have appropriate guidance and warning notices at the tees on higher risk holes.

UK.And thinking on security mattes and whether leaving the EU would reduce the risk of terrorist atrocity in the EU. Not sure how greater control of our borders will help. Many terrorists are unknown to security agencies - and so could just be visiting the UK for a holiday. That they are telling a fib and might get found out and thrown out of UK is hardly going to worry a suicide bomber coming to UK to do his worst using a device made in the UK by sympathisers. So what real security benefit even greater control - if that can ever come about if we wish access to the single market - which is very debatable.

Best not to guess then as that's not what I said.
