  1. All examples of processed highcalorie, high glycemic index, high sugar foods marketed to the poor. So no, not wrong. From the UK: https://www.verdict.co.uk/fast-food-outlets-are-on-the-rise-in-england-especially-in-poorer-areas/ https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kfc-mcdonalds-target-poor-fast-5705820 Repeated in NZ: https://i.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/82926715/fast-food-chains-target-poor-areas--marketing-expert Repeated in Australia: https://www.9news.com.au/health/sa-uni-study-finds-fast-food-outlets-more-likely-to-be-built-in-poor-areas/00266ad1-120f-4c73-bb13-caa49b108ff6
  2. Why not take time educate yourself on the the problem rather than trotting out gross pejorative generalizations? https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/news/health-inequalities-and-obesity
  3. Wrong. Poverty reduces choice and the high calorie, high glycemic index, high sugar foods are cheaper, hence the choice available to people on low incomes. Hence “The impact of deprivation on obesity rates is deeply concerning, with adults in the most deprived regions having almost double the prevalence of obesity compared with the least deprived (36% compared with 20%). The effect of deprivation upon childhood obesity is even more alarming. In 2018/19, the prevalence of obesity in children aged 10–11 was 27% in the most deprived areas and 13% in the least deprived areas. The gap in obesity prevalence between children from the most deprived and least deprived areas is stark and growing, with an increase from 8.5% in 2006/7 to 13.9% in 2018/19.” https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/news/health-inequalities-and-obesity
  4. What on earth does ‘a decent working week’ mean? Meanwhile: Those that hold Government to critical account are exercising their democratic rights to do so.
  5. I wonder where the Government think their overt anti-immigrant rhetoric is going to lead to? While Braverman and Patel have been at the forefront of this rhetoric, the Government have stood on a platform of ‘controlling our boarders’. The problem is, the Government has failed to ‘control our borders’. The bigger problem is, the voting public have noticed the Government has failed to ‘control our borders’. So the question arises, how does the Government, and Tory Party, think they will benefit from the anti-immigrant rhetoric?
  6. Legutko, another far right talking head. On the upside, he has absolutely nothing to say on why the UK is struggling more than countries.
  7. How funny is that. Fat people to laugh at. Better still, most the fat people are poor, eating the cheapest food available which is always processed, high carb, high sugar, high glycemic index food, on special offer, churned out by the processed food industry and marketed to the poor. Have good laugh why don’t you?!
  8. There is only one guarantee in financial investments, the fees.
  9. The standard advice is ‘Make sure you have travel medical insurance’.
  10. All peachy then. Until you need a Dentist, a GP appointment, the Police to attend a crime in progress, care in old age, a job that pays a living wage, an affordable home. All peachy, and when it’s not there are food banks used by working people who can’t afford food.
  11. I wasn’t relying on anything in the media, I was seeing it firsthand.
  12. I blame all those black and white movies that were fed to the Brexit voting generations as they grew up.
  13. I was there all this summer, it was a shocking experience. What a mess the place has become.
  14. It’s a leak ( by definition anonymous), it was widely reported and Rees-Mogg among others took it seriously. If you don’t think it a matter of concern, don’t let it bother you. But take note ( or disregard if you wish) the criticisms of Brexit from business leaders, from former backers of Brexit, from the critical financial sector party and within the media are very steadily growing. Polls on public opinion are drifting against Brexit and towards re-joining the EU. The UK is in desperate need of economic growth and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has clearly stated ‘unfettered trade with the UK’s closest neighbours would be good for growth’.
  15. Rees-Mogg couldn’t find any BREXIT opportunities. Is he a remainer?
  16. It would only take one example to prove you wrong, here’s seven for good measure: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/27/brexit-has-made-britain-the-sick-man-of-europe-again https://www.express.co.uk/latest/brexit https://www.bbc.com/news/politics/uk_leaves_the_eu https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11468625/NATO-ally-Belgiums-eco-party-uses-Brexit-rules-BLOCK-export-critical-nuclear-arms-tech-UK.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/26/brexit-should-have-gone-swiss-now-have-no-option-go-singaporean/ https://www.ft.com/content/75a84b97-d0d4-4117-b20f-ea4323ff637c https://www.itv.com/news/brexit And yes, these are the ‘Consequences of Brexit’. Brexit has happened, the UK is now facing the consequences.
  17. You had two cracks at that. Perhaps you too, like Rees-Mogg, are taking this seriously.
  18. Rees-Mogg took it seriously. Now while I regard Rees-Mogg as an idiot, I do accept he’s nearer to what’s going on behind the scenes in Government than anyone on this forum: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1699166/brexit-news-eu-swiss-style-deal-trade-single-market
  19. As I stated, the UK were denying the leaked information.
  20. One sides ‘porkies’ are damaging the economy, and it’s not ‘Remain’s’.
  21. I think some would, but I think many would not. Regardless, they have no say in the matter, they’ve handed power to the ERG and the ERG aren’t interested in anything short of zero connection to the EU.
  22. During the run up to the referendum ‘Brexit leaders’ repeatedly made public statements in which they stated a post Brexit UK would get a favorable deal with the EU; Norway Deal, Swiss-Deal, Canadian Deal etc That is what the electorate was told. It was a lie. It was called out as a lie by ‘Remain’ leaders. And here the UK is with its economy hampered by self inflicted trade barriers with its largest trading partner.
  23. The polls are repeatedly returning results indicating the collapse of support for Brexit and growing support for rejoining the EU. So let’s run with this ‘will of the people’ thing. Since you mentioned Farage, I’ll remind you what he had to say: “In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way.”
  24. Boris Johnson was a hardcore Brexiteer, he promised an ‘Oven Ready Deal’. Now if you are accepting that the Brexit leaders were lying to you then yes, I agree, I said so before the referendum and right through to Brexit actually happening. And here’s the best bit, they are lying to you now.
  25. You got your BREXIT, it’s not working out as you hoped and you now resort to the latest version of: ”It’s always somebody else’s fault”.
