    It’s embarrassing to say that the inventors of football haven’t won a trophy for nearly sixty years. Sadly I don’t have high hopes for England this time

     

    Well that could all change 🙂

    Anything that's imported in small quantities is going to be expensive because of higher shipping and distribution costs. It's not rocket science. 

     

    Sure but that's taking the p@@@

    You can pick up a can for less than £1 in the UK, even if you double the price to add freight/duties and double again for profit, it's going to be nearer £4 / 180 baht.

     

    Years ago, I saw the same thing with Haagen Daz where a tub cost £18!!

    According to the Flag Institute, either Union FLAG or Union JACK is correct.

    The FI seems to come to a pragmatic solution to this controversy.

     

    That's not how I read it. It's accepted that the two are interchangable in today's society but not necessarily correct.

    Anyhow what does the Flag Institute know about flags ? 🙂

    No, I didn't.

     

    You missed that it won't be "Every" voting mother and father.

    However, if the "darling child" in your comment was sarcasm, I agree. 😅😅

     

    I don't think it's an own goal, not yet anyway.

     

    If it's announced those entering uni or those in full-time employment are exempt, I think there's milage in the plan.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yes I understand the article. I should have put "every voting mother and father of a child that's 18 and leaving school" but most people would get what I mean 🙂

    I reckon they've just lost the vote of any parent who's child is under 18.

     

    If this is all about the unemployed/unemployable then I'm voting Tory 🙂

    I thought conscripts were kept away from the career soldiers.

    It may help with the drug problem too, teach them a bit of respect that they may not be taught at home.

    Fewer yobs on the street sounds good to me too.

    As for the infrastructure, loads of ex military bases not in use, oh, except for the illegals..😉

     

    Yes, great idea as long as it's not your son or daughter...

    In their private 40-page plan, the advisers argued that the growing threats from countries like China need to be addressed by strengthening the Armed Forces.


    What an idiot. The threat from a country like China is economic and technological, not military. Looks like the MIC has gotten their claws into the British government as well.

     

     

    You assume that they will be trained with a gun and a tank ?

    Tell that to every VOTING mother and father who's "darling" child must now do National Service. I agree with you but it's a total own goal for the Tories.
