Using the words “Eritrean Gimmigrants” is racist . There’s no other way to say it , it’s racist . How ever much you want to hide from the fact . Nobody thinks you’re funny apart from yourself . You could of just apologised or even made up some bullshit that you accidentally typed in an extra ‘G’ by mistake . Yes , leave my wife out of things . Very emotive, I hope you've calmed down in time for work tomorrow. I take it you accept you introduced your wife and her occupation into this little bit of nonsense, only you seem to have forgotten to mention it. And still you go on 🥱 |

It's also circumspect that you talk about there being very high unemployment in Spain although the pay there is very poor. Why is Spain suffering such low wages and unemployment. Could it be because they're part of the EUand in the Euro? I work on the railway. There are numerous Spanish and Portugese people working with us, plus a multitude of Eastern Europeans. Many of them manage to send money home to help out. Whatever next, Iberians and Eastern Europeans all working over here and sending money home and poor old 365 can't get a job that pays him enough. Your argument is taking on the appearance of a colander. You’ve blown my argument apart (using the 12 billion housing benefit bill as evidence of low wages and cost of living) using an anecdote about people you work with whose finances you don’t have access to that they might have surplus income to send back home? Ok then. Just what they've told me old boy. But please, feel free to disbelieve me if it doesn't fit with your theory of children still being sent up chimneys and down the mines. |

You might want to rephrase that for the sake of the mods. A public accusation of murder might cause them a problem. So, public accusations of falsifying official government documents to enable someone to kill many thousands of inocent people by prosecuting an illegal war is all OK? Interesting. I believe it was Stalin who said that one death is a tragedy but a million is a statistic. Oldgas I believe you are in danger of transgressing the laws around slander and defamation by making a public accusation that states as a fact that someone had arranged for the murder of another. My advice is to edit. |

Hopefully short term, hopefully..... www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55530721Some specialist online retailers in various EU countries have said they will no longer deliver to UK addresses because of tax changes due to Brexit. Bicycle part firm Dutch Bike Bits said from now on, it would ship to every country in the world except the UK. "We are forced by British policy to stop dealing with British customers," it said on its website. Another firm, Belgium-based Beer On Web, said it was now shunning the UK "due to the new Brexit measures". The companies are angry because they now face higher costs and increased bureaucracy in order to comply with UK tax authorities. The moves follow changes in VAT rules brought in by HM Revenue and Customs on 1 January. VAT is now being collected at the point of sale rather than at the point of importation, a change that HMRC says will ensure that goods from EU and non-EU countries are treated in the same way. This essentially means that overseas retailers sending goods to the UK are expected to register for UK VAT and account for it to HMRC if the sale value is less than €150 (£135). 'Not what we wanted' "For providing this service, [HMRC] intend to charge a fee to every company in the world in every country in the world which exports to the UK," said Dutch Bike Bits on its website. "Clearly this is ludicrous for one country, but imagine if every country in the world had the same idea. "If every country decided to behave in the same way, then we would have to pay 195 fees every year, keep up with the changes in taxation law for 195 different countries, keep accounts on behalf of 195 different countries and submit payments to 195 tax offices in 195 different countries, and jump through whatever hoops were required to prove that we were doing all of this honestly and without any error." Dutch Bike Bits said it had many customers within the UK and would like to be able to trade with them. "Not being able to send parcels to the UK does not work in any way in our favour and it is not what we wanted," the firm added. "If you're angry about this, and you may well be so, please contact your elected representative in the UK." Temporary? Other firms held out the hope that their ban on exports to the UK might prove to be temporary. Scandinavian Outdoor, which is based in Finland and sells outdoor clothing and equipment, posted a message on its homepage saying: "No delivery to UK just now." In a further message explaining its decision, it said: "Due to Brexit, we have temporarily closed our store from UK-based customers. Ordering will be possible as soon as our UK VAT registration and the overall process of selling to the UK post-Brexit has been sorted out." The BBC has approached HMRC for comment. |

Another one flees Brexit Britain .....
A former British member of Parliament who helped lead efforts to bring the United Kingdom out of the European Union has been tapped to take over a local conservative policy think tank.
On Tuesday, the Mississippi Center for Public Policy announced that Douglas Carswell had been appointed president and CEO of the organization.
Carwell served in Parliament for 12 years and was a co-founder of Vote Leave, the official campaign that won the referendum for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.

Thing is in this, (not that I’m defending them) but I don’t fully understand how it’s the EUs fault. Obviously there is a correlation there, but if the NL really sat in their own vaccines for 2 weeks - why are the EU to blame? France have had a lot of criticism that has nothing to do with the EU, it’s been their own decision. Yes the EMA took longer to decide on approval, but countries have had the vaccines for a while now, that’s surely down to their own individual problems? If it’s a supply issue, I’d need to read more into is as I don’t see why Germany (as an example) can’t vaccinate more people with a few million doses. Something doesn’t quite add up |

Something doesn’t quite add up I think, without evidence to prove it, Governments over promised on numbers and underestimated the logistical problems around the Pfizer vaccine. It happened here but with a very centralised NHS we were able to mitigate to some degree. Remember that when the next funding row erupts |
