    Brexit has lead to labour shortages.

     

    Not all workers can do all jobs.

    Did it also lead to Germany's labour shortages?

    I would argue a bigger factor in labour shortage is importing a load of unskilled immigrants while skilled professionals like me grow sick of the place and go and work for a multinational in Thailand where some semblance of sanity remains.

    I doubt the Germans are too thrilled either.

    Weren't you telling us that Brexit was going to lead to massive Labour shortages? Not unemployment. Shall we file that in the same wheelie bin as your prediction for a May election, or a different one?

    I like that painting alot, it's dramatic, very unconventional, and very cool. Kudos to the artist and kudos to the monarchy for not going with something more traditional, conventional and boring. 

     

    Traditional, conventional and boring is exactly what the monarchy should be going for.

     

    This isn't the Kardashians we are talking about.

    I’m sure Old Wykehamist Sunak and his Etonian chums would very much prefer that the leader of the Labour Party they will face in the election that Sunak can’t run from for ever didn’t posses acute intelligence, and a first class academic education, let alone superb legal training and experience.


    Nah, they would much prefer Labour to be led by an uneducated, cap doffing pleb.

     

     

     

     

     

    Sunak doesn't care about the opposition. 

     

    Using Starmer's story telling 'style', I would have to describe Sunak as a hard working, self made Indian immigrant who married his childhood sweetheart and very much dotes on his father in law, a humble man who runs his own computer shop. 😃

    I think ran his own workshop would be a better description.

     

    I thought he worked in a factory? It seems to change every minute, like many who lie about their background. In reality, Starmer's father was the owner of Oxted Tool Company who was able to give "poor Keir" a cosy private education and put him through Oxford University.

     

    Hardly Oliver Twist.

    The ‘Sir’, a life long member of the Labour Party, son of ordinary working people who cut his legal teeth as a young lawyer working pro-bono cases and worked for everything he has, including his knighthood, and who has consistently demonstrated his commitment to improving the lives of ordinary working people.

     

    Son of "ordinary working people"?

     

    Starmer is a classic champagne socialist. Always claiming his father "worked in a factory". That's kind of true, what he negates to mention is that his father owned the factory that he worked in 😃.

     

    Always hamming up their "working class roots". 

     

    I wouldn't trust this fraud as far as I could throw him.

    Now they are in a partnership with a Nigerian charity.

     

    What could possibly go wrong?

     

    A more pertinent question might be, what already went wrong.

    Time to shut down Archewell. It's clearly been set up as a tax dodge anyway. 

     

    Good to see Markle in Nigeria this week, celebrating her roots. As a proud feminist, she obviously avoided mentioning the countries issues with the mutiliation of young girl's genitalia and child brides. I guess she didn't want to spoil the party atmosphere.

    Your posting history of grossly generalized pejorative views direct at immigrants, in your latest offering extending to generations of their offspring, is all the explanation I need of the cause behind your ‘strange logic’.

     

    By their offspring, I assume you mean the 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants that are perpetrating the majority of the knife crimes.

    We can of course come back to this the next time you kick off about immigrants, I doubt it will be long coming.

     

    Indeed, I'm sure we won't have to wait long for some more stabbings.
