Patriotism and Brexit

Image
 It's been very easy for Brexiteers to claim that Pro-Europeans are un-patriotic or even traitorous . Who wouldn't want to "break free" of a "foreign power" and make our own way in the world? This is very disingenuous. By entering in the EEC/EU the UK agreed to be in partnership with other countries and share rules.  So it wasn't a case of "them ruling us and we can say nothing", and if it was wished to be simplistically stated, then it would "them ruling us, and us ruling them back"... "however much Germany [or insert other country] is ruling us, we are ruling them back in equal measure". I recently watch a documentary on YouTube about the Windscale disaster.  Click the YouTube video that is set to the part in the film where it is recounted. In 1946 the Americans' policy on nuclear secrets changed.  Britain was no longer allowed to share or participate in what the USA was doing in terms of nuclear weapons. This came as ...

Live Aid Nice logo

This is the logo from the Live Aid concert's back in the 80s.  I just thought it is such a smart logo that I'd put it here and say that.

Dog Saga... Some relief!

So those of you avidly waiting for the next update about my long running dog saga will be pleased to know I have some good news! Their owner has bought another house in our street, and moved the dogs up there!  That deserves another exclamation mark! So, how bizarre. - She says she "doesn't have a lot of money to put a nice wall in" - yet is capable of buying another house in cash - I know this because it was auction sale, and you have to deposit 90% of the cash before they let you bid here in Andorra. - Her new immediate neighbours are a fiesty french-woman, and a vet.  Both of whom will now, in turn, be highly unimpressed with the dogs antics when she is out of the house.  The vet has been trying to sell his house for many year now.... that's even less likely to happen now. - I doubt she bought the additional house so I, and the other neighbours this end of the road, could get some peace; but it does make me wonder if she's actually not selfish - jus...

Jon Danzig explains why the EU was created

This reason alone is sufficient for me to wish that the UK rejoins the EU.

Why we will be back in Europe and surprisingly quick

1) Take away Brexit Boris, and all you have are "swivel-eyed-loons".  Think about it - who is in any way "normal" in the current Brexit party - sorry Conservative Brexit Party?  I mean look at them.  What a bunch of awkward misfits...   And in the ranks... all those odious backbenchers like Mogg, Baker, Jekin, Cash, Redwood, Bridgen & Francois. It was Boris what won it.   And Boris is going to come seriously unstuck....   Either he goes soft brexit, so then what was the point?  Or he goes hard, and boy it's going to be hard; and with it an economic hit. You see the problem?  Boris has nailed the Conservative & Brexit party flag so hard to the "Outside Everything"-mast; that he can't possibly go back. 2) All the Labour party have to do it get someone vaguely presentable, certainly Starmer would be fine, or Nandy or Thornberry and propose a "EFTA"-like trading arrangement.  That's back in folks, and as far as ...

Types of Link Partnership

Image
Before Google hit the scene big time in the early 2000s all linking partnerships between sites was for traffic reasons. You might find a site that offered a complementary but non-competitive service and do a link swap (reciprocal link) between the two sites. Since the rise in dominance and importance of Google, it is necessary to employ linking strategies that avoid direct reciprocal links if maximum value it to be achieved. That is not to say that a good traffic bearing or similar themed reciprocal link is to be avoided. If you can arrange different types of links (like those listed below) your site, and your partners will appear higher in the search engine rankings as a result. One Way Link Partnership This is the simplest type of link. You have got a one way link to your site from another. You are not giving a link back in return. This is the best type of link.  For a link like this from another site look at submit article - you control the content of the ...
