Social justice, fairness hate what the Tories have done to this country, anti Brexit. Sailing and Ipswich Town.

Madness! Becoming a bit like Refuk is not how to beat them. Who do Labour expect to do these jobs - many of the local population would rather sit idle than wipe and elderly person's backside! Sorry Labour, you're going to lose my vote. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Possibly not. Most likely destination (if competitively priced) is wholesale butchers and hence the catering industry.

Disingenuous is a very kind word to use in the context of Trump. He is a serial liar.

donovantim.bsky.social @donovantim.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
What trump is quoting is trade defecits which aren't tariffs. If the EU (and this country) sell more to the US than we import from them then perhaps US manufacturers need to improve the quality of their offerings. Cadillac or Mercedes..... doesn't take long to decide.

donovantim.bsky.social @donovantim.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Because the EU doesn't impose 39% tariffs. Trump is lying (as usual) and is not to be taken at his word. There is a 10% tariff on their cars (which are inefficient crap) and a little over 20% on some agricultural products but typically tariffs are negligible.

Supporters probably won't travel in numbers for early rounds of the club world championship this year so stadiums will be sparsely populated in the early rounds. By the time the competition gets to it's later stages it'll likely be South American and European teams left.

We'll only be accepted back once the EU believes the country is united in rejoining. They won't want our membership to be down to the whim of the governing political party. It's going to take at least a generation.

Logic would suggest your argument be extended to Devon and some of Somerset as they too were in the Celtic kingdom of Dunmonia. I remember years ago being told by a Cornish woman that her mother was Cornish but her father English!

This is actually a decent guide to Plymouth but you'd wait a very long time at Marylebone for the train to take you there! You'd think basic stuff like the correct departure station would be fairly routine for the writer. (Paddington is your departure station). www.forbes.com/sites/lewisn...

How do you propose we deal with opportunistic rioters? That's a serious question. Fines wouldn't work so what else? A stern telling off? I'm fairly liberal but having witnessed the aftermath of rioting and looting in Plymouth last year I think prison best.

The problem with the proposal is that within a couple of generations the amount of actually farmed land (and therefore food produced) could be drastically reduced. Even a modest 100 acre farm could find itself caught up in this. To pay the tax land would have to be sold.
