I see it’s being reported in the Press that up to 50,000 people will have to be recruited to carry out customs paperwork under the government’s preferred Canada-style trade deal. That’s four times as many people work in U.K. fishing and a serious drain on the economy. So much for the much trumpeted ‘bonfire of red tape’ the Tories promised post-Brexshit.

Once again you try to belittle my post. This is not a sudden whim it is a thought I have had for a few years. When they come out of the millitary they miss the comradeship. Regimentation and the uniform.do I know you? Have I offended you in another life or is this your normal behaviour to people you don't agree with.

Regimentation and the uniform.do I know you? Have I offended you in another life or is this your normal behaviour to people you don't agree with. Not trying to belittle you at all, but in the harsh new world of the Tory Brexshit you voted for, there is no room for the economically inactive, be they single mums, homeless ex-squaddies or pensioners. Tories have secured their tax havens so someone has to pay for them, and it ain’t going to be them.

So am I. I spend my money. The money I have saved over the years by being frugal. I don't receive benefits and never have. But by spending what I have makes me financially active. I buy an occasional new.car or go on a cruise so my money goes round. Every body has different aims in life.. i am enjoying not getting up 5 30 travelling 70 miles working 10hrs and 70 miles back home

Maybe that is why I never had to claim benefits Or maybe it’s because you’ve been fortunate enough never to be a single mum working a 40 hour week for low pay that still isn’t enough to live on? Or perhaps it’s because you’ve never suffered from a chronic illness or lifelong disability that prevents you from working? Perhaps you’ve never been made redundant because your workplace has gone bust and you’ve had to downsize into a Council house because you couldn’t afford to keep up the mortgage payments? Just a few thoughts. I’m glad I’m not like you, and I have some compassion for people in need instead of branding them as alcoholic smackheads.

Born in a slum in Newtown. Lived in a council house for twenty years. Bought a house couldn't afford it moved to cheaper one. Built my own house made redundant 5 times. That could be 105 times because I didn't count the times on contracts when bosses said we don't need you next week. Can't help you with the baby thing. I haven't branded any body any thing mearly stating that maybe this is why I was able to save for my retitement

Well how do you expect me to respond to your statement. No drama. I don't know the rate of n I payments now. but when I retired I was paying £330 per month so maybe I should get something back. I get on really well with German people as I lived there for three years. I never defeated anybody and have never heard of geoff boycott

Treasury adviser: farming and fisheries are not important
Goes to show what some of us already knew - “thanks farmers and fishermen for your votes when we needed you, but all we want to do is turn this country into a little tax haven for ourselves and we don’t give a stuff about anyone else.”

They, allegedly, can't even show respect and courtesy to the people they work with, so how anyone can expect them to show any kindness to the public is beyond me.
Laughable reading The Spectator's resident windbag Rod Liddle arguing that Priti Patel can't be a bully because she's a short woman "from the colonies" - the argument a bully himself and an insight into the mind of someone who sees certain groups as there to be picked on.

Listening to the Today Programme this morning I nearly crashed the car when I heard that Health Sec Matt Hancock has been stopped by No. 10 from going to a European meeting to coordinate the Coronovirus response. No doubt some of the Gammons on here will be telling me to get over it snowflake and it’s what we voted for, but I’m struggling to see any sunlit uplands from here.

Acting against the warnings of senior law enforcement officials, the Government are also withdrawing from the European arrest warrant.
Making our country less and less safe in all ways and potentially turning us into a safe haven for EU criminals, and for what? To keep their offshore tax havens.

People are about to find out that it's the height of the floor, not the ceiling that matters when it comes to healthcare. Even more acutely when it comes to viruses and pandemics.
The people, many of them old and most at risk from coronavirus, who have continuously voted for a party that has dramatically and systematically weakened the healthcare of the weakest members of society are probably about to start paying for those decisions with their own lives.

One of the first things I learned when I started in Construction. Don't build on flood plain Don't build on sand Don't build close to water Not difficult but it still goes on. They have been trying to build houses on clifton drive blacon since I was a kid I've seen that area under 2ft of water. Applications for planning still going In

Applications for planning still going In I daresay the country's housing needs have changed a fair bit since you learned that, as has the climate. In coming years there might not be much that isn't "close to water".

There is plenty of land for houses it just seems that planning is given for any where. The land I am on about all so backed on to our old ground. Seems to be called blacon meadows now the uni own it. It always has been a flood plain. There is a water cause way named finchets gutter runs through it. It has an outfall on the kop. I have lost count of the planning applications applied for. for this land. All it takes is brown envelopes and then you have another flood waiting to happen.
