Brexit costing us ?350m a week in lost output:

... by the time we get to the end of the transition period, things could have swung significantly in favour of remain.

I think it's partly the result of people turning 18. As more and more young people join the voting age population, the split moves in favour of remain.

?Will of the people? seems to be shifting https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-second-referendum-latest-poll-remain-ten-points-leave-bmg-a8114406.html%3famp

The other thing which can effect the pay gap is outsourcing something like maintenance or catering (which may have an over representation of either men and women on low pay). This is the problem with reporting the gender pay gap without any analysis. You may have lot's of low pay cleaning staff, who are predominantly women. Outsource the service and suddenly it looks as though you've drastically cut the pay gap. In reality no one is better off.

TheCat is right. These are two different things. One is an example of a female employee being paid less than men doing the same job (which is unlawful). The second figure relates (presumably) to the gender pay gap, which tells you the difference between the average pay of all female employees and the average pay of all male employees (which is about representation). A couple of highly paid executives of either gender can skew the latter.

It's not just cigarettes, it's any kind of littering - except dog poo, for which the fine is only ?50 bizarrely. Personally I'd rather pick up someone's sweet wrapper than their canine's excretions.

We don't want no foreign cheese anyway. We want Austin allegros and dairylee.

When we were kids we all had the full name, address and date of birth of one of our ex-classmates (he'd moved school) memorised. If ever we were asked for our details we'd reel it off without hesitation. He must have quite the record by now.

BTW - The 'redevelopment' of Denmark Hill was originally a ?4.18 million project to make Denmark Hill accessible. The works overran by more than a year and cost an additional 2 million pounds. It was a disgraceful example of mismanagement of public finances and from what I can tell, no one was ever held to any kind of account for it. We've been left with a station that is an accident waiting to happen.

It's only a matter of time until people get hurt I fear. I cannot understand why they didn't put another entrance / exit on Windsor Walk

So ?50 if you leave sh1t on the street, but ?80 for a cigerette butt?

I have a little penknife key ring on my keys (like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-Classic-Swiss-Army-Pocket/dp/B001BRTVZ6/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_lp_img_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DCRT2471HFQF4GQCN8VC ). I use it all the time.

What about spitting? Swearing?

The Irish Government has done more to protect the interests of UK citizens than our own representatives.

No one should drop litter and people doing so should be challenged. But ?80 is not a trivial amount of money for many and seems quite disproportionate.

Camberwell still not having a tube station after 60 odd years of campaigning is ridiculous.

In almost any other part of zone 2 /3 London you're a short walk, or bus ride from a tube. I don't expect to have a tube station in ED, but how does anyone justify the fact that 90% of SE London is completely absent from the tube network and there is no plan to address it (indeed we keep adding new lines to already well served areas)?

For someone struggling to make ends meet, getting an ?80 could really tip them over the edge... just for dropping a chip. It's ridiculous.

It's the snow in your glove box the police are more interested in.

?80 is a lot of money and could really hurt some people. Surely giving people a warning and making them dispose of it properly would be more proportionate.

...Much like Dulwich Fox.
