    I think you’ll find, I and others, have been discussing the failures in UK policing for a number of years now.

     

    So your only posting here to take the micky out of her and not discuss her points on the polices reluctance to intervene in burglaries etc, as you've done it all before and you've been to the UK............:saai:

     

     

     

     

    She’s at least 10 years behind the curve.

    Its just a  floated talking point atm from a party that is toast but I believe by the end of the next term it'll become reality.

     

    As for the cost ? its already being talked about in the private sector as  inevitable industry  tax costs vs profit. If the math works in their favour overall the big players will agree readily and they set industry standards  .. SME in most sectors dont stand a chance of keeping up and are already collapsing faster than in our history.  IMO & sadly the trend will continue. Just take a walk down a high street or industrial unit centers  in the UK  or look at the state of empty office accommodation to see it. 

     

     

    I would certainly agree that the Tories have failed to grow the economy.

     

    Offering National Service funded by taxes in place of real jobs with real training and of course zero hour contracts.

     

    Sunak and his failing party are stone tone deaf.

     

    It’s time for a change.

  3. Sunak’s idiot idea is being roundly mocked from all quarters:

     

    Nigel Farage, the honorary president of Reform UK, told the BBC that the proposal was designed to appeal to his voters but ultimately a “joke” and “totally impractical”.

     

    Although Farage seems to also be implying that Reform voters are attracted by ‘joke’ policies that are ‘totally impractical’.

  4. The whole idea, which isn’t going to be implemented anyway, is being roundly ridiculed in the media.

     

    Maybe a few of the octogenarians who saw national service think it’s a good idea, or at least those who thought it was a good idea when they went through it.

     

    Anyone with any critical faculties left will ask the obvious question - where’s the money coming from?

    What elections….lol There are polls that have already been quoted. If you have now decided they have no legitimacy then that’s just trolling

    Precisely there are no elections

     

    Therefore no claim to Hamas being the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

     

    Polls - your having a laugh.

     

    Hamas have the people of Gaza in an open grip of tyranny. Hamas frequently murder Palestinians who speak up against at them.

     

    Your poll needs printing on soft paper.

    Yes, but new jobs are often created, at least for younger workers.

     

    A good example is the Internet, which killed a lot of jobs, but created a lot, as well.

     

    The internet is an example of a platform on which automation has been implemented and thereby stopped out jobs.

     

    Online banking, flight bookings, hotel reservations being common examples.

    Why do the majority of Palastinians support Hamas. 

    Unless you can show me the result of recent free and fair elections I do not accept they do support Hamas.

     

    Hamas has an iron grip on the people of Gaza, they are not free to choose.

     

    Not an argument that finds favor with those support the continuing carnage and collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza but very clearly Hamas hold Palestinian la in Gaza under a brutal regime of control.

    Hamas took control of Gaza and became the legitimate government without any help from bibi

    And tossed opposition off the top of buildings cancelled elections and used the money Netanyahu help provide to them to fund the building of their terrorist organization.

     

    Palestinians have absolutely no control over Hamas.

    Not according to the governments of Ireland, Spain and Norway. They have legitimised (in their tiny minds) a Palestine state headed by Hamas. That's what the story is about. 


    No they haven’t.

     

    They have stated they shall recognize  Palestine as a state which is their right to do so. 
     

    Netanyahu backed funding to Hamas to thwart the right of the Palestinians to self determination and their own independent state.

     

    So yes, bring on the Netanyahu lead Israeli propaganda.

     

    The real story is Israel’s growing isolation from nations that were formerly supporters of Israel.

     

    Netanyahu’s conduct of this war has done a great deal to promote Palestinian nationhood.

       All Pollical parties support Palestinians  over Israel .

    Doesn't matter in Hamas or the P.A win, both parties want an end to Isreal


    If the claim is that Hamas represent the people of Gaza then there needs to be evidence that the people of Gaza had a say in the matter.

     

    unless of course conflating Hamas with the people of Gaza is a justification for continuing the ‘carnage’.
