"The boat people you referred to are economic migrants who probably have more money in their pockets than you or I." am I missing something? why is this remotely relevant. If you are on a dinghy, risking life and limb (and rejection) to get to a country surely you can accept there are bigger issues in their life? Why are they coming here? Because they may have family here? - because they can speak English and not German or French? And why does it bother you SO MUCH?

Blah Blah is, for the record, playing a blinder on this thread Not saying anything remotely controversial, sticking to facts and evidence and science And yet it remains "controversial" for some

Once again, we seem to be having an insular debate without reference to rest of the world It's a global pandemic - most countries dealing well with it use masks without all the pointelss debaites about liberty/but how do I/why should I type questions

Fair enough Foxy - was just asking on the back of a lot of people complaining about being forced to wear a mask

It's about reducing risk - if people are all wearing them in shops and on transport you have reduced the risk You can't elimate ALL risk if infections ris after the facemasks then we could be looking at another lockdown (as per other countries) But what is teh point of the OP? IS it to complain about the masks being compulsory? Or not being universal? It's not clear

from the spoons website "Breakfast served 6am ? 11.30am. Main menu served 11.30am ? 11pm."

ties in with 'spoons breakfast club doesn't it?

Plus there is the knowledge/feeling that having pubs survive might be a good thing, and that?s less likely to happen if we don?t spend any money there

3 kids!

my favourite bit about this thread is that someone who started it because although they agree with bulk of the message feel the manner in which it's conveyed puts some people off, has spent 8 pages yelling at people that they aren't getting HIS message

As long as he keeps posting on here how can we stop talking about him? Oh. You don?t mean unc

+1 j.a.

? But what on earth possesses anyone to spend that sort of money anyway on their backward beliefs.? On the 4th anniversary of the Brexit vote, a timely question

Hands up everyone - who believs tomdhu genuinely isn't aware of Hopkins and some of the thinsg she's written? Anyone as anti-eu as tomdhu will be well aware of the online opinions and campaigns this whole "I voted leave for genuine reasons and shucks gee I don't even know anyone who holds vile opinions" is so disingenuous as to be insulting https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-4633332/KATIE-HOPKINS-stand-strong-Brexit.html https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/04/18/katie-hopkins-russell-bra_n_7091674.html

" so-called far-right " just keeps giving Glen - are you saying they weren't far-right? It's a confection? Like - what would people ACTUALLY have to do for you consider then to be genuinely far-right?

Not sure where unc would be on the scale

I?ll take a top 5 From ?a little bit worse? to ?how the hell are they allowed on twitter or even society??

Out of curiosity. Who is considered ?more dangerous on twitter? than Hopkins and her ilk ?

?I think people might be calling you a racist unc? ?TO MY KEYBOARD. I?LL SHOW THEM !!!?

Plus those bulbs were for sale aaaaages after the supposed date. These directives are never as problematic as many like to make out

"It is acknowledged in the industry that the optimum power is around 1200Watt as this gives worthwhile suction. With 850W it takes twice as long to do a decent job - so the energy saving argument is negated." This sounds like a load of hot air Nobody sane genuinely takes twice as long to vacuum their house since and I've not noticed ANY difference at all - you are manufacturing outrage (and again you try and lift this navel-gazing nation's attention and speak to friends and family in other eu countries - no outrage. No bother. so what IS it about the English and their outrage at the EU eh?)

And there was nothing stopping uk producers doing the same before Brexit was there It?s not that it?s unfathomable. It?s that it?s overhead in costs and red tape - which is the opposite of what was promised by leave. But the leave have broken pretty much every promise so just add it to the list I see the government are planning 4 months of ?shock and awe? information campaign to wake people up to the fact they need to prepare for end of transition I?d say anything that needs shock and awe is probably best avoided

Yess every country try in the world? You didn?t need to inflict all that economic damage on yourselves Fresh air mate! I mean, it didn?t help the millions who died in the early 50s, but still

I suspect jimlad doesn?t agree, to be fair

I did wonder. I?m annoyed with myself
