Joe boy
You have a problem pesky - where
looking at my posts?

Snige

Go work in France and enjoy it is your want

Then good luck to

Sorry Joe

Fuxk the mortgage - and people had more time. The labour governments imposed horrendous increases in Business rates to fund their welfare programme.

Why should government fund childcare/ Can't afford one - don't have one.

We are in a sxxt situation

Actually, there may be another way to reduce the uncertainty and to banish many of the fears of Remainers about the costs of Brexit. It has been advocated by David Campbell Bannerman, the Conservative MEP, and is supported by the academic and entrepreneur Michael Burrage. They point out that it is possible, if both the UK and EU agree, for us to carry on trading with each other without imposing tariffs while an FTA is negotiated. Under World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules this is permitted by Article 24 of the GATT Treaty. According to the legal expert Martin Howe QC, we can even achieve this result by operating a provisional or temporary FTA involving zero tariffs.
If we did this, the anxiety about tariffs being imposed on our trade with the EU would go out the window. Equally, the absence of tariff barriers would reduce delays and frictions at borders.
So why didn’t the Government pursue this option straight away? And why is it not pursuing it now? Is there some legal barrier that would prevent us from doing so? If not, did the Government eschew this route because it thought that Mrs May’s “deep and special partnership” with the EU would be preferable – and that it would be achievable? Or was the Government worried that a temporary FTA with the EU would prevent us from signing FTAs with the rest of the world? Or is this apparent rejection of the temporary FTA option simply another manifestation of the establishment’s wish to sabotage Brexit altogether?
Let us be charitable. Perhaps the explanation is that the Government believed that the EU would never agree. If true, this would be highly significant, for European businesses would have strongly supported a zero-tariff temporary arrangement and surely they would have put intense pressure on their governments, and hence on the European Commission.
Moreover, if the EU really wouldn’t have agreed to it then and still wouldn’t agree to it now, I can think of no clearer demonstration of warped EU politics trumping economic self-interest.

How can you disagree?R Bootle serious and knowledgable

or that isn't
like the Emperors clothes!

And Joe

Entry requirements are strict - got to be under a certain age and be able to suit employment categories. Over 30s??Unless you have money money

I think a lot were dumped on fear.
Sit tight and wait for the uplift LTHs

EU policy so to do

And
Then came China and India and the others.
Bigger clubs - bigger buggers - more corruption
Never pay a man not to produce - EU policy. Agriculture & farming
Always insist the man is given overtime tho he is not needed - France
Always resist any challenge - Luxemburg in charge.
Above all stick together as we did during the last 2 wars (didn't)- not history as per snowfolk -but these wars are the reason you exist

It may be before your time and experience. The high street was full of shopkeepers offering individual services such as greengrocery, butchery, bakery.

Then came Tesco - pile it high and sell it cheap. Wow said the people - get on their free bus. The butcher, the tailor, the candlestick maker, the baker , the green grocer , the hardware shop, and indeed the chemist all fell foul of big bully.

This all happened in socialist? times.
not just Tesco but all did so .

it was something that I saw when visiting France - Leclerc and Supermarche got rid of the butcher' the grocer and the candlestick maker - all part of the idea. Villages were destroyed

Tesco to close all fish, meat, bakery & delicatessen counters - sod you then. Nothing for the people then - but was anything for the people but pure lies.

Yes Joe
Prices more than double here in UK and salaries similarly so. Bottle of white wine Chardonnay 18 20 dollars.
Much of the economy built on Rio T and minerals.

Yes Joe OZ is fine but costly

You present the facts - but they are slow learners.

but if you had A* A levels and a first class degree - wouldn't you think you knew best - even though Enid blyton was something you nothing about and didn't ever enquire - the famous 5 now the elite 27

"to get a deal through Parliament, it is the only thing that is fair to all"
Nothing can ever be fair to all. Harold Wilson policies were not fair to all. Tony B Liar policies were not fair to all - nothing can ever be fair to ALL. Putting a tenner on Arsenal on Friday could never be fair to all - or to either the punter or the bookmaker.

There are always winners and losers - as we all know from Lloy investment.

The SNP victor by 2 votes votes against his constituents! Referendum result - we leave- hair brained Junker doesn't want a deal that satisfies the referendum - them we leave without one.

I can remember when the Euro was first introduced and we were holidaying in the Canaries - all the shops carried Peseta prices - use a calculator - easy peasy. Year 2000 - all computer systems will fail. No they didn't.

All things are soluable - even snowfolk

Yes- but mine was a cut and paste from the TGraph- and yours were your own words.

Then don't believe it. Nothing to do with the referendum - Nothing to do with the EU - just blinkered LA planners. Ever worked alongside them? - they are absolute madness!

Those Leave-voting constituencies now being represented in Parliament by irreconcilable Remainers will be able to wreak vengeance not just on their own MPs but on the whole governing consensus that has let them down. The elections scheduled for this May to that ludicrously overblown Strasbourg Parliament are already expected to favour populist, nationalist candidates even from the countries whose governments cleave most strongly to the centrist project like France and Germany, let alone the acknowledged troublemakers to the East.
And there would be Britain, imprisoned but unbowed, with its enraged population urging it on to give respectability and coherence to the resistance movement. The argument for “reforming” from within was lost long ago. Now there could be professionals to organise rebellion and systematic obstruction from within. Britain would have found its natural role in Europe. Message to Brussels: is that what you really want?

Seems there may be discontent or Qs being asked. Janet daley - we must leave - posts a relevant comment-
Well, I wonder. Is it possible that the more comprehending brains in the EU outfit might have come to another quite startling conclusion?
Maybe they have got over their initial shock at the visceral and unrelenting determination of the British to persevere with their resolve to leave, even in the face of the most deafening orchestrated campaign to terrorise them into submission, the sheer, absurd crassness of which has taken so many of us by surprise. (Leo Varadkar wins this week’s prize for gross irresponsibility with his assertion that No Deal could mean an “army presence” at the Irish border, a hysterical claim which, given Ulster’s tragic history, truly beggars belief.)
So could it be that, having looked at this phenomenon and contemplated its consequences, those sensible EU officials heads of state might be thinking: is this plan of threatening and blackmailing and conniving with a black ops, back channel political campaign to keep the British locked into a system they now hate more than ever, really such a great idea? Never mind the possible damage that could be done by the UK coming out of the club. What kind of hell could they create for us if we succeed in making them stay in it?
After all, the leaders might be speculating in their darker moments, these are the British we would be dealing with – not the poor bankrupt Greeks, or the anarchic populist Italians, or the notoriously illiberal Hungarians, or the autocratic Rightwing Poles. No, this is Britain with its huge economy, its flourishing IT industry, its unique security connections with the Anglophone Five Eyes network, its global defence capability (matched in the EU only by France) and its world-beating financial services expertise. What if all the eloquence and diplomatic finesse of its highly experienced government operators (who, in spite of their recent apparent incompetence are still a class act) were dedicated to – as the Trotskyists used to say – boring from within? Suppose that, licensed as they would be by a furious, galvanised public sense of disgust at having been cheated of their promised exit, the British representation within the EU concentrated all its efforts on organising the resistance to European centralisation? Good grief.
And is that not, when you think about it, the likeliest outcome if, indeed, Continuity Remain gets its way? Far more likely than rioting in the streets (to which the British, unlike the French, are largely disinclined) is the prospect that we would simply take our revenge in the great democratic tradition: by electing to Westminster and to the EU parliament the most ferociously unrepentant Brexit cohort of representatives imaginable.
Those Leave-voting constituencies now being represented in Parliament by irreconcilable Remainers will be able to wreak vengeance not just on their own MPs but on the whole governing consensus that h

If the snowfolk on this board could manage to design a phosphorous match that passed the EU fire regs - I would applaud them. But they can't and WONT recognise the contributions to UK by people like JD.

When confronted by the ramblers association of Dorset -Dyson can't win - you have seen all the info on this BB.

There is everything wrong with the thoughts abounding here and widely reported - history started but recently.

But if you have never experienced - hardship or pleasure, help or goodwill you may not be human. - sad eh?

The Gov't agency was the Audit commission and that did more of a political job with dear Gordon B insisting on "light touch " auditing. That quango no longer exists. All tick boxes - verbal assurances. Maybe that was GT also.
