Well this thing needs to be replaced at some stage.

I know the chap who owns it. You can rent it for £250k a week, not including fuel, or almost everything else. I'm guessing Her Maj gets a healthy discount, he's good mates with PhilTheGreek.

So why did you say...





Not everything is because of Brexit, you know. I expect darmy just posted that as cretin-bait, to see who would wade in defending high parking charges, on the grounds that their aim is to kind of encourage people to you know leave the car at home and use public transport when going into city centres - or some tulip like that.

Oh ok - that is good to hear because everything seems to be despite brexit if it's good and because of brexit if it's bad.

So high car park charges are not despite brexit or because of brexit which is good to know.

Here's a meme for you:

No - I think the desire for a company to make profits is driving NCP's pricing.

Is this because of brexit?

So you’re saying that voters don’t know what they wanted when they voted? That sounds rather arrogant.....

I said "not necessarily", the implication being that they didn't care what the voters wanted. You could take your head out of Juncker's arse once in a while and have a look around, but I don't imagine you will. Now that is rather arrogant...

[meridian]

You might as well apply for the head of PR for the EU, you'd be a shoe-in. The EU dangled a stick, rather than a carrot, and the Irish voters crapped themselves. They voted for what the EU wanted, not necessarily what what the Irish voters wanted. Project fear in action, and winning for a change.

If you’re inferring, for example, Ireland, there were substantial amendments between the first and second vote. So in that sense you are correct, the Irish people did keep voting until they got the result that they wanted. True democracy in action.

"Keep voting until we get the result we want". True democracy in action. And now you're going to tell me I missed something...

Satire is in general not using others material, but making your own material based on someone else's. These stupid memes are mostly the former and therefor copyright infringements

I think I had that wrong and it is parody that is protected as fair use, not satire.

A 'One does not simply ban memes' meme is a parody so should be protected although it would need an expert lawyer really.

Another person who doesn't quite know how the EU is run...
