    It would also be a first for a shallow Westminster focussed political inbred.

    Absolutely! I'll bet you a quid Baron von Lotsov is currently expressing exactly the same view.

    I thought Roadhog was suggesting Cameron didn't veto anything in the first place, not that Cameron would relent later on.

    Aha! The spelling no less valid, just not current. But I always thought it was because of Bosch being involved in munitions in the war (as was regaled to me), but not only is it related to "cabbage-head", but dates back to 1870! The things you learn!

    I was agreeing with him (RH) that Cameron could not be trusted on the EU (whom BvL defends to the hilt).

    How the millions who died at the hands of the Boche will be laughing with you at your insistence of being correct in referring to a current manufacturer of quality household appliances with the German Army and their atrocities during both world wars.

    The British Security Service during WWI formally used the term Boche in their intelligence consideration of aliens and others, "B" and it was in common parlance for the British people over several decades.

    Roadhog made a big issue about suggesting Cameron didn't veto anything and he made numerous posts arguing that nothing had been done at all.

    If he is now saying that what he really meant was that Cameron can't be trusted, my response is that I very much doubt there is anyone on this forum that would suggest any politician, including Cameron, that can be trusted completely.

    So in essence you are saying all his posts were just to say politicians can't be trusted? Hold the front page....
