There are so many factors, it's difficult to be balanced. Yes, immigration has undoubtedly out a strain on infrastructure - however there is a contribution from tax these people pay. The NHS does not recover as much as it could to cover additional costs of short term visitors, but other facts - including increased costs are making the NHS unstable. Accusing someone of being racist for stating fact is hardly helping. It would be better to point out the gaps in their arguments (eg that many migrants work and contribute). Investment is required for public services - schools, police, roads, NHS. Where will this money come from? If you increase tax on the rich, they will be incentivised to leave. If that happens, there is less money, so something a little more clever is required. What about ensuring companies pay the tax they should, or that foreign investors into housing have to contribute (it's a great deal for them with weak pound etc - which actually increases prices of the stock), or better yet, we invest in growth, property, development... Whether you like Boris or Jeremy, you have to think further ahead - and take other people's views into account - you may develop a wider understanding.

I agree that Corbyn is bringing the labour party down that Boris has taken dishonesty to a new level; it is hard to think ahead, but none of the parties manifestos will be achieved in the next few years, but a lot of damage can be done. So, please think further ahead than Jeremy or Boris.

it's labour intensive but shouldnt' be that much. Although it depends on the state of your garden. Get agreement for complete work, rather than "pay by day" as you can guess which would take longer

Perhaps another letter is G The gullible amid the public who believe what the media tell them, unquestioningly.

You're voting for a party, not the current leader.

Really interesting how differently everyone thinks. If a working mum needs some help, so what? Who here struggles but also gets food delivered? It's the same thing. Stop being so judgemental.

You need the other leaseholders/ free holders on your side, so maybe start with a meeting and some suggestions of alternative arrangements

They get paid a day rate and if it's quiet they're sent home without pay. They get to keep any tips, so please don't take advantage of them

Carwashes and other services are lowly paid. Tip your attendant, ad you would your waiter or hairdresser.

Do people know why we have trees and wreaths at Christmas? Or do they just buy them? I would suggest largely the latter.

too funny.

The park is pretty muddy already in places. While I don't particularly care for them in terms of the occupation of public space for a business venture, it's a double standard when we buy our bread and veg in M&S, walking past our local grocers.

A slap and a kick for being so quick.... Not sure about the violent conatations though, sorry 😄

Christmas doesn't even get a look in at our house until Dec 13th. We have birthday to celebrate first. And get netflix, you can watch whatever you like.

you should steam clean them - and preferably in summer on a nice breezy day so they will dry

darn, I bought a coffee and apple juice in The Love Cafe (lovely place). Was planning on buying dinner later. Do those things count?

yeh...next month

Too early. Clearly just looking ta the materialistic side of the Christmas hype

oh dear. I hope you're ok? Don't feel too bad - these guys are well practised in tricking people and know exactly what to say to make you believe them. Have you reported this to the police? I hope you do - there are other reports of this in the area

you can still use the park, although I would hope it's not there again next year. I will buy my tree from the local sellers I always get them from. And I hope many people in our community remember to support our community as well

What is wrong with someone trying to make money out of Christmas - taht's exactly what it's all about If you feel very strongly about buying locally, then please also remember to support local shops instead of teh big supermarkets. Same principle. If fact, just remember - the shopper owns the market.

What school is this for? I have found that students do not want to work with a counsellor in school as they are worried about confidentiality. There is a lot of support available for free and it's important to know this is confidential and non judgemental. https://youngminds.org.uk/find-help/conditions/depression/ Camhs are also great - you need a doctor's referral. If your teen is showing signs of depression/ anxiety/ mental health concerns, please see your doctor. There is a tendency for teens to cope by self harming, so please also watch out for signs - as they hide the mental and physical signs well.

if Corbyn was a wise man, he'd have stepped down to make the party more acceptable to the voters.

I don't think labour are perfect either (selling off the gold etc), but the lesser of two evils and less long term damage
