"David Blunkett, the then-home secretary, argued the economy needed the "flexibility and productivity" these new workers could provide."

To be honest these folks came here to work, have boosted our economy and increased our competitiveness.

My mate Sadiq Khan called for an end to British politicians’ “vow of silence” on the ill effects of leaving the EU.

I imagine that within 10 years we'll be back inside the EU.

Will pop!

"If the consensus on “American exceptionalism” is so overwhelming, who is left to hop on the bandwagon and inflate it further?"

"The longer a trend lasts, the more confident investors get, and the more indiscriminately they buy into the mania.

In the late stages of a bubble, prices typically go parabolic, and over the past six months US stock prices have outgained others by the widest margin for any comparable period in at least a quarter century. When flying in such thin air, it doesn’t take much to stall the engines. All the classic signs of extreme prices, valuations and sentiment suggest the end is near. It’s time to bet against ;American exceptionalism'. "

Popcorn anyone?

Shoppers are buying like they were in the great recession of 2008, IKEA CEO says.

Let's hope 2025 is the year that Keir and Ursela find a room on one of his flying visits overseas, and he seals that special EU-UK relationship.

Having been to the vigil mass, clear Israel should be struck from the bible and replaced with the holy land, given the ongoing genocide and war crimes by Isreal, as the very name of the country defiles the holy book.

Christmas greetings to Tories, Labour and Brexiteers.

I will quote radar, as he expressed it so succinctly, "playing cards you are clearly on your own here with your unwavering support for the Israeli murder machine so I suggest you take a break from posting and do some reading that is available and not suppressed by the Israeli murder machine.

When you are more educated in what is being visited on the Palestinian people you may be in a more enlightened mind frame because at the moment you seem completely twisted."

If they murder innocent civilians?

Only about 45,000 so far, along with the other war crimes they are perpetrating.

Harris is my hero!

Lloyds shares should bounce back and push higher again driven by a resurgence in loan demand and strategic hedging. If Lloyds wasn’t already well represented in my portfolio, I’d buy more.

Yes I agree the irish government, president and in fact the entire irish people should utterly condemn this awful attack!

The attack was carried out by a zionist, by all accounts.

Zionist responsible for the awful attack in Germany, it appears!

Yup, that is what the right wing nutters do, come on here and moan, moan and moan some more, day after day, ad infinitum!

But you do plan to leave the UK, and by the sounds of it, if you had obtained an Irish passport, you'd be gone already. So, why is a committed brexiteer and Reform UK supporter abandoning the UK, to live in Spain (the EU), when that is your very nemesis. GateBoy, you're a bundle of contradictions!

The forumis 90% deluded/disgruntled Reform UK/ Tory/Brexiteers! By definition, they don't agree with my views!

Anyway GateBoy, you're bailing out of the UK, and will be gone to Spain by the next general election, so what has what happens in the UK after the next election got to do with you?

That would be a flawed logical fallacy GateBoy.

It's the thin wedge GateBoy.

When will you stop trolling this site GateBoy with your right wing nut job views?
