Look on youtube and see how many nutters still believe the earth is flat and nasa is lying to everybodyJust the fact of how satnavs work proves einsteins theory of relativity and proves the earth is round

They work due to the fact time runs at different speeds depending on gravity hence different distances from earth as in the satellites that they use for gps

Defeating flat earth is very, very simple and takes about 30 seconds.

Find someone on the internet who is roughly the other side of the world to you, get them to take a photo of the moon for you, compare it to wqhat you see, it will be upside down to you because they are standing upside down relative to you.

Why this is never used I don't know seems so obvious to me. What possible explanation can you have for that other than we are on a ball?

 
Just had a farmer drive past me on his tractor shouting if we leave the euro its the end of the world.

I think it was farmer geddon /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
Cadbury moved factory to Poland 2011 with EU grant.

Ford Transit moved to Turkey 2013 with EU grant.

Jaguar Land Rover has recently agreed to build a new plant in Slovakia with EU grant, owned by Tata, the same company who have trashed our steel works and emptied the workers pension funds.

Peugeot closed its Ryton (was Rootes Group) plant and moved production to Slovakia with EU grant.

British Army's new Ajax fighting vehicles to be built in SPAIN using SWEDISH steel at the request of the EU to support jobs in Spain with EU grant, rather than Wales.

Dyson gone to Malaysia, with an EU loan.

Crown Closures, Bournemouth (Was METAL BOX), gone to Poland with EU grant, once employed 1,200.

M&S manufacturing gone to far east with EU loan.

Hornby models gone. In fact all toys and models now gone from UK along with the patents all with with EU grants.

Gillette gone to eastern Europe with EU grant.

Texas Instruments Greenock gone to Germany with EU grant.

Indesit at Bodelwyddan Wales gone with EU grant.

Sekisui Alveo said production at its Merthyr Tydfil Industrial Park foam plant will relocate production to Roermond in the Netherlands, with EU funding.

Hoover Merthyr factory moved out of UK to Czech Republic and the Far East by Italian company Candy with EU backing.

ICI integration into Holland’s AkzoNobel with EU bank loan and within days of the merger, several factories in the UK, were closed, eliminating 3,500 jobs

Boots sold to Italians Stefano Pessina who have based their HQ in Switzerland to avoid tax to the tune of £80 million a year, using an EU loan for the purchase.

JDS Uniphase run by two Dutch men, bought up companies in the UK with £20 million in EU 'regeneration' grants, created a pollution nightmare and just closed it all down leaving 1,200 out of work and an environmental clean-up paid for by the UK tax-payer. They also raided the pension fund and drained it dry.

UK airports are owned by a Spanish company.

Scottish Power is owned by a Spanish company.

Most London buses are run by Spanish and German companies.

The Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to be built by French company EDF, part owned by the French government, using cheap Chinese steel that has catastrophically failed in other nuclear installations. Now EDF say the costs will be double or more and it will be very late even if it does come online.

Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock. Not any more, it's Bombardier in Derby and due to their losses in the aviation market, that could see the end of the British railways manufacturing altogether even though Bombardier had EU grants to keep Derby going which they diverted to their loss-making aviation side in Canada.

39% of British invention patents have been passed to foreign companies, many of them in the EU

The Mini cars that Cameron stood in front of as an example of British engineering, are built by BMW mostly in Holland and Austria. His campaign bus was made in Germany even though we have Plaxton, Optare, Bluebird, Dennis etc., in the UK. The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.

Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn't paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK. Name me one major technology company still running in the UK, I used to contract out to many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc., and now we don't even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.

I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.

I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany.

Find something that's gone the other way, I've looked and I just can't. If you think the EU is a good idea,

1/ You haven't read the party manifesto of The European Peoples' Party.

2/ You haven't had to deal with EU petty bureaucracy tearing your business down.

3/ You don't think it matters.

 
Are you really going to use a billionaire jeering at fishermen as a pro point for staying in the EU?
The bloke is complete ****.

Not at all - I'm not even wanting to stay in the EU & haven't ever said so.

For the record Geldof was jeering at Farage

(btw, Geodof worth is 0.15 billion. Small point but its nice to post facts[emoji6] )

I posted cos i think it's great that in Britain we poke fun at ludicrous self serving politicians [emoji106]

I would send Geldof out on a 10 day fishing trip in force 10 gales and let him see first hand what it takes to be a fisherman, he is a total *****.

Yes I heard what he was saying.

The footage was on the BBC also YouTube.

Geldofs not exactly a paragon of virtue either, spent his life by releasing 1 mediocre song, is or at least was, a Non domicile & then spent the next 30 years telling us to give our money to Africa.

Bono is another one!

Farage pretends to be a man of the people, representing the regular working Joe and yet is simply another self serving politician, who looks out for Nigel & that's about it!

Needs to be called out on it, failed businessman, stupendously failed MP - his record says it all.

I have a lot of respect for Farage to be honest, he more or less paupered himself to follow his beliefs, he spent a hell of a lot of his own money in his persuit to bring us out of the EU.

Not to mention putting his life at risk. Always funny to see the very people that preach peace love and harmony, are the ones that will shout over and stamp on free speech, or even resort to physical attacks.
