  1. Candidates for the post are now promising tax cuts, without explaining how these tax cuts will be funded.
  2. Why does it bother you so much? I get through the day without fretting over how others live their own life. It’s easy, effortless even.
  3. But not against the law or regulations in place at the time. As the police clearly and unequivocally stated ‘No case to answer’.
  4. I’d agree, that is veering off topic, set up by you with your ‘our cousins across the ocean’.
  5. I think it had a lot more to do with his lies and a string of bi-election defeats. The Tory press turned on Johnson because he’s an asset to the opposition parties and a threat to Tory chances at the next election.
  6. I’ll write what I want to say, it avoids you adding in stuff that I didn’t say.
  7. I didn’t even mention the previous PM in my post you have ‘replied’ to.
  8. All of which fits the Government of the past twelve years, and all candidates have been members of that Government. That said, I think ‘internecine knife fight’ better describes the Tory leader selection process. And before the resident pedants take umbrage, no, nobody is actually wielding a ‘knife’, though backs are being stabbed.
  9. She frequently embarrasses herself by revealing a total lack of knowledge on any subject she happens to be pontificating on
  10. Did you check the ingredients to see if there’s actually any prawn in them?
  11. You read the headline and from that you think the ‘WP seemed to agree’.
  12. ‘Seemed to agree’. But no confirmed facts, just repeating what ‘Conservative Critics’ ( The clue is in the name ) are saying.
  13. ‘Conservative critics’ saying stuff. Well they would wouldn’t they?!
  14. I’m sure I did mention scapegoating immigrants in the post you ‘responded’ to. It’s a thing.
  15. Well almost, the Navy had second thoughts. My bad: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Navy
  16. It’s none of your business what part of the UK I reside in. But let’s be a bit broader and look at how others are fairing. I volunteer at a food bank twice a week, I deliver good parcels to people who can’t afford to feed themselves and can’t get to the food bank to collect the food they need. I see first hand, face to face, the poverty here. This place is falling apart. In the past two months demand at the food bank has gone up and I’ve been asked if I can spare more time. But there’s no need to go to a food bank to see how this place is falling apart. The signs of this Government’s failure and the impact of this Government’s Brexit are everywhere to see, there’s no need to know what part of the UK it’s observed. The country is facing a cost of living crisis, poverty is at a level not seen in living memory, homelessness is on the rise, the NHS is near collapse, the Police (what Police?), aren’t dealing with crime, the lost goes on. Meanwhile the Tory Government PM is brought down by lies, which only put an end to his incompetence and corruption. The ruling party are st each other’s throats and when not stabbing each other in the back all they have to offer the nation is ‘Culture Wars’, scapegoating immigrants and the finger. No policies to help people, nothing.
  17. Seems to me you don’t know how the EU works. But please come on over, get a close up look how post Brexit UK is working out. Its not a pretty sight.
  18. There is no defense for Johnson’s lies, incompetence and corruption so when it comes up for discussion on this ‘expat forum’ his supporters attack the people pointing out the observable facts that they don’t like to hear about. It’s this Tory Government and their Brexit that is ‘trashing the UK’ not comments on observable fact, regardless of who makes the observation or where they are from. Here’s a fact, topics open for discussion on this forum are open to all forum members regardless of any other consideration than that they are forum members. It’s purely - case of ‘don’t like the news, blame the news bringer’.
  19. There’s no need to your self confessed ignorance of the ins and outs of what’s going on In ‘England’ persist, come visit and see for yourself. The country is going down the pan, while the Government takes every opportunity to grasp the ‘post Brexit bonus’ of stripping workers rights, civil rights, strips back consumer protections and moves towards downgrading food safety and hygiene standards. The fox is I charge of the henhouse.
