Fancy a spot of lunch ?

CHRIS REID P.P.C. for Hyndburn

Roman Abramovich in the company of Dasha Zhukova and his son Arkadi and three business partners stopped over for lunch at restaurant "Nello" in New York “It was obvious from the start that the high quality and type of food would take priority over cost.” said restaurant owner Nello Balan. Mr Abramovich began his meal with carpachio with white truffles followed by Milan lamb with pasta and parmesan. For desert Mr Abramovish tried delicious tiramisu. They were drinking champagne and expensive wines. They looked no different than New York tourists, said the waiter. Drinks included 2 bottles of Chateau Petrus, 3 bottles of La Tache Romanee Conti pinot noir and 2 large bottles (1.5 litre each) of champagne Cristal Rose ($5,000 per bottle). The wine only came to $35,000. Pregnant Miss Zhukov was drinking $16 mineral water. Mr Abramovich’s face did not change when he saw the bill, said the waiter. He only asked if the service was included. The owner of the restaurant gave Mr Abramovich a soccer ball as a memento for being a special client, and suggested he should buy New York Yankees. Mr Abramovich replied - no thanks, I have plenty of problems with Chelsea. ( More off the pitch than on it.) The total sum came to $47,000 US in just 1hr and 18min, and included 20% tip, however they generously gave the waiter another $5,000 in cash.

Let’s just have a look at this one.

At the current exchange rate of 1.54 that converts to:

£33,729.

Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

I have lived and worked in the Hyndburn area which includes Haslingden nearly all my life. I have the same sense of being let down as many of you, taken for granted and ignored by the career politicians. I want an immediate referendum on this country’s relationship with EU as promised. I want common sense politics and a purge on political correctness. The English Democrat Mayor of Doncaster has shown that we do put local services first above our own self interests. Our common sense approach will blow you away. Equality within the U.K. means - English Parliament to look after England’s Interests. Regardless of your colour or religion if you were born, live or work in England then your taxes should be used to benefit the community that you live in. It is time to reject the Cliché-ridden politics of yesterday, and to look to the future. Let’s make these changes together.

Back in September ‘09 we ran an article about The Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies, who happens to be an English Democrat. He was on a mission to slash council spending, clear the streets of yobs and ditch politically correct services. Within his first month in office he was to cut the number of town councillors from 63 to just 21 saving the taxpayer £800,000, and came out with an all time classic. “ If 100 Senators can run the United States of America, we don’t need 63 councillors to run Doncaster.” He has received messages from well - wishers world wide for his no nonsense approach. He also wants tight immigration curbs, an English Parliament, and a law to force every public building to fly the flag of St George. Nothing wrong with a bit of patriotism, and we are sure he would enjoy our little patriotic poem on page 14.
