We've got three of your undercover agents here, Danish. We thought about dismembering them, but the Saudis did this in Turkey and it's hard to keep quiet. Blair, Major and Clegg - we'll send them back to you in a sealed barrel marked "toxic waste". PS I always knew Strolls was a right winger at heart!
Yes, that's what makes me laugh. The Tories have only ever had three strategies. Operation Fear. Tax Cuts coupled with belt tightening FOR THE SAKE OF IT and telling us that it is good for all in society especially the poor. No prizes for guessing which one of those is the perennial lie.
Well said. Still I suppose if the Tories get in again after Brexit we will deregulate massively and all be employed to do the dirty low paid jobs that EU nationals are now doing. For as long as there is money to be made by Tory party donors that's ok.
And yet you still refuse to meet in The Whiskey Belt!! What’s this with quoting continuously of this new svelt figure. An attitude that does you credit - one hopes. They do realise I’m taking the piss - don’t they? McKinsey and BCG have just been in contact with the Saudis - as there having some difficulties with me!! Still here - hopefully catch you for that beer whilst your still allowed to travel.
Got apprehended by a pair of students today doing a qustionaire/poll as part of their course. I was going to just walk by, drinking my latte until they mentioned brexit. The leading question was 'did you vote leave or remain? And would you now on this present day vote leave or remain?' I stressed that I didn't vote but I was allowed to answer the 2nd part of their question. I enquired, up to date, what was the general feeling/results to their question.........wait for it.....leave to leave 63 people. Leave to remain 71 people. Remain to Remain 59 people. Remain to leave 11 people. Interesting stats. Oh and neither of these girls were old enough to vote when the referendum happened.
Ellers, Ellers, you know it makes sense Check your shed Not a Remainer or a Leaver I’m afraid just a selfish bastard looking on with nothing to lose - but winning already. Cushty
Brexit Britain: Wages Rise Fastest in 10 Years, Unemployment Record Low 150EmailGoogle+Twitter please log in to view this image Matt Cardy/Getty 17 Oct 2018197 2:24 Wages in the UK have risen faster than at any time in almost 10 years, just months ahead of the official Brexit date. Pay rose by 3.1 percent in the three months to August, compared with a year ago, while inflation for the same period was 2.5 percent, the Office for National Statistics said. The rise outstripped the growth of 2.9 percent in the three months to July and the 2.6 percent forecast by economists and experts. The new estimates show that average weekly earnings for employees, when adjusted for price inflation, increased by 0.7 percent excluding bonuses, and by 0.4 percent including bonuses, compared with a year earlier. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image It was also revealed Tuesday that there were 832,000 job vacancies for July to September 2018 — 35,000 more than a year earlier and close to a record high. Unemployment was at just four percent, the lowest since 1975. Before the Brexit vote, the Bank of England and the government claimed the nation would lose half a million jobs and people would quickly become poorer. Prime Minister Theresa May commented: “Unemployment is down and wages are rising at their fastest pace in nearly 10 years. Our balanced approach to the economy is working.” ONS head of labour market David Freeman said: “People’s regular monthly wage packets grew at their strongest rate in almost a decade but, allowing for inflation, the growth was much more subdued. “The number of people in work remained at a near record high, while the unemployment rate was at its lowest since the mid-1970s. “However, there was a notable uptick in the number of people who were neither working nor looking for a job, particularly among students.” Sarah Coles, a personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, explained that wage growth has consistently beaten inflation since February. “The news has raised hopes that the lowest unemployment figures for four decades are finally feeding through into higher pay,” she added. “This is fuelling optimism that people will feel more confident about spending, which in turn could push dwindling retail spending higher, and raise the current low growth expectations.”
Great that wages are rising. Think I saw on the news last night that wages are still less than 2008 though. Something like that anyway!! Of course they should be rising in line with the cost of living which I would hazard a guess, has risen more rapidly.
Sorry not 171 it was 71. Typo error. No I was visiting my mother in leeds general infirmary. They were near there. This was at lunchtime so it could have swung the other way by the end of the day. Not that it matters now hey. It is close to the universities so I presume mainly students were being asked.
I was thinking more of Farage. Very influential! He was on Newsnight last night giving your line........ “Let’s just remind people that every single major player on both the Leave and Remain side of the debate said we will leave the European Union, the Single Market and the Customs Union - we couldn’t be any clearer." ****ing liar. During the campaign, he was constantly holding up the Norway EEA option as the best way forward for Britain.
That's it then, that result confirms again the whole exit EU process can be stopped today, with no further ado and a huge saving of all kind of resources.
Yes, let's ruin democracy because 15 students can't accept a result. The problem with Brexit is not the idea but the people negotiating it. We should have never had mentioned the money and on day one said this is what is happening, accept it or we walk. We should have had Trump do the negotiations instead of the weak May. Fortunately for the sake of democracy many Tory/Labour MP's don't want another vote, which is just an excuse to keep us in the dying union. I see May gone soon and a Brexit leader come in and sort the EU out.
Spot on what the Sky reporter has just said. With all the worry for business and citizens the EU heads spent more time in a pub drinking beer than discussing Brexit.
