  1. yea such rubbish that newspaper clip, the Sun aims to have the highest editorial standards such lies
  2. we are also discounting the different 9's used throughout as well
  3. but there are many different styles of 3 for 1863 as well there is 1864 coss 1864 plain and the wide date which is noticeable, but Haven't seen one in a decent grade/price to examine the type of 4 that is
  4. lacquered 1916... but a nice detailed obverse (and poor reverse to make up for it ) 1862 Penny, I in BRITT is aligned to the first T and also points to tooth 1861 penny with I over lower I in BRITT something down at the bottom of the date area cant really tell.
  5. stumbled across this the I is pointing towards the tooth, in hand its not easy to spot though oddly, depends on the light (shadow makes the teeth look like they point slightly between I and T due to the angle of the I), however the key noticeable feature is the fact the I and T are completely Parallel, made noticeable by the Bottom of the I touching the tail of the R and the top of the T If you look at other 1862's there is always a slight angle, so the I never touches the T
  6. so yea Blair said he made his decision based on facts, because his job is to do so, Cameron takes facts about Britain going down the shitter, loses a vote he can ignore and resigns.. instead of doing his job of making the choice that is best for the country.,
  7. its not English... its Venetian i think
  8. will post for various rare coins
  9. except the Note has other non-EU countries on it
  10. I found some nice things in junk bowls 10p for a 1958 50 franc, low grade 1758 sixpence for 25p.. about 20p for my 1903 open as well. I did see an interesting 1863 with a die crack going up the middle of the date... makes you wonder.
  11. just ignore the stupid vote and get on with our lives.
  12. where was this triple tie ribbon.. been after one for ages if you dont want that 1869,
  13. I am still looking for die #1 they are rarer then the halfpenny die letters by far.
  14. for all this brexit stuff, Jean-Claude Juncker telling us to get on with it.. what can he do if we don't activate Article 50?
  15. ok then I will raise you, these from the other week £9.94 thats with the postage
  16. there are some listed in Groom.
  17. yes but this isn't helping the Scotland situation
  18. would they? Farage said he would push for a second referendum beck in may, if the result was 52-48 remain. From the guardians comments section: If Boris Johnson looked downbeat yesterday, that is because he realises that he has lost. Perhaps many Brexiters do not realise it yet, but they have actually lost, and it is all down to one man: David Cameron. With one fell swoop yesterday at 9:15 am, Cameron effectively annulled the referendum result, and simultaneously destroyed the political careers of Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and leading Brexiters who cost him so much anguish, not to mention his premiership. How? Throughout the campaign, Cameron had repeatedly said that a vote for leave would lead to triggering Article 50 straight away. Whether implicitly or explicitly, the image was clear: he would be giving that notice under Article 50 the morning after a vote to leave. Whether that was scaremongering or not is a bit moot now but, in the midst of the sentimental nautical references of his speech yesterday, he quietly abandoned that position and handed the responsibility over to his successor. And as the day wore on, the enormity of that step started to sink in: the markets, Sterling, Scotland, the Irish border, the Gibraltar border, the frontier at Calais, the need to continue compliance with all EU regulations for a free market, re-issuing passports, Brits abroad, EU citizens in Britain, the mountain of legistlation to be torn up and rewritten ... the list grew and grew. The referendum result is not binding. It is advisory. Parliament is not bound to commit itself in that same direction. The Conservative party election that Cameron triggered will now have one question looming over it: will you, if elected as party leader, trigger the notice under Article 50? Who will want to have the responsibility of all those ramifications and consequences on his/her head and shoulders? Boris Johnson knew this yesterday, when he emerged subdued from his home and was even more subdued at the press conference. He has been out-maneouvered and check-mated. If he runs for leadership of the party, and then fails to follow through on triggering Article 50, then he is finished. If he does not run and effectively abandons the field, then he is finished. If he runs, wins and pulls the UK out of the EU, then it will all be over - Scotland will break away, there will be upheaval in Ireland, a recession ... broken trade agreements. Then he is also finished. Boris Johnson knows all of this. When he acts like the dumb blond it is just that: an act. The Brexit leaders now have a result that they cannot use. For them, leadership of the Tory party has become a poison chalice. When Boris Johnson said there was no need to trigger Article 50 straight away, what he really meant to say was "never". When Michael Gove went on and on about "informal negotiations" ... why? why not the formal ones straight away? ... he also meant not triggering the formal departure. They both know what a formal demarche would mean: an irreversible step that neither of them is prepared to take. All that remains is for someone to have the guts to stand up and say that Brexit is unachievable in reality without an enormous amount of pain and destruction, that cannot be borne. And David Cameron has put the onus of making that statement on the heads of the people who led the Brexit campaign. this has brought up discussion elsewhere.
  19. and counties that voted out want the EU money... seriously.. do people not think. oh and these fools and their stupid protest votes. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-anger-bregret-leave-voters-protest-vote-thought-uk-stay-in-eu-remain-win-a7102516.html wow petition up to 2 million, was 1 mill this morning
  20. there are a lot of annoyed 16-17 year old's who couldn't vote due to age, this process will take years, in that time those people could vote, we would lose some 65+ what then? this could start when there is a swing back to remain again. this is not reversible remember, this has to be done right, oh and those morons who wanted to remain but voted leave to pressure the government, seriously?
  21. and how many of those were for "immigration" without thinking about anything else or the drawbacks of such a vote.
  22. older people, who would be swayed by money being put into the NHS, (the lie) and only concern with the EU would be immigration? yes they are people but those where it matters are being shafted, in 20 years time then what? Boris and Trump.. what an exciting prospect everyone now has with these 2 blond pillocks running countries.
  23. I'm not, but its more how close the results are that such lies could have swayed the result of something more important then an average election.
