A friends wife who is originally from Sweden now has to fill out a 200 page form (yes 200 pages!!!) to prove continuous citizenship, regardless of the fact she is married to a UK Citizen, completely disgusting from the Civil Servants who run the Home Office and a disgrace to our nation.
Caroline Noakes, the immigration minister, appeared on Monday to admit deportations have taken place, saying in an interview with ITV News: “There have been some horrendous situations which as a minister have appalled me.”
Vorse ;ok ;angry
Back to Back Promotions for the Fleet potentially.
Come on you Reds, Come on the Fleet, Wember-ley !
Is that what government policy was at the time then?
Colour me surprised.
But then again I work for the Bavarian government
The last time they did was in 1871!
I thank you madam, I have, without remorse, regard or limitation already plagerized the above quote,
;bowdown
Initially France declared war on Prussia alone but the other states joined in because they had secret treaties. The whole thing started because Spain asked Prince Leopold, a relative of the King of Prussia, to be their king and France didn't want Hohenzollern-ruled countries on two sides.
The French were hoping for war, demanded that Prince Leopold decline the offer and the King of Prussia initially agreed because he wasn't too fussed about it. The French were disappointed until Bismarck threatened to resign, the King changed his mind and the war was back on.
Ironically Prince Leopold never wanted to be King of Spain in the first place and five months after war was declared the Spanish gave the crown to the Italian Duke of Aosta.
Germany was unified under the Prussian king on 18 January 1871, ten days before the French officially surrendered.
Germany won several wars between 1871 and 1914 in much the same as Britain won many wars during the same period by ensuring that they had guns while their opponents didn't. See Blackadder goes Forth for more details of colonial warfare
Too much time on my hands.....
Do you read while your driving the trains, or just when everyone is minding the gap?
I work late shifts 99% of the time, mostly starting after 3pm (3:49pm - 00:11 today) and I was up early this morning. Thankfully I'm off tomorrow so I can watch the footie with a pint (or several)
That was an interesting read, thanks for sharing your knowledge ;ok
So yes, technically it didn't exist but I still count it as a German victory.
History teaches us who we are, what makes us as countries, so not useless info at all.
James Collins - Rating: 73. West Ham have not had a vintage season, but the 34-year-old centre-back proves his value when fit. The Hammers win 34% of games he plays compared to 19% when he is sidelined.
