    I’m No expert but il tell you this, Farage is a ****.

    Farage’s legacy is a failing economy and record immigration and others have to clear up this mess.

    Haven’t heard anyone disagree with you, you need to read other posts rather than just your own <ok>

    Must of slept through the reform government, as far as I knew he's just a wannabe leader that's had NO political power. I must of wasted loads of money as just came back from holiday abroad and had to show passport to get in the country, same when I returned. Did not know only the EU was allowed to stop people entering their area. IF the last gov wanted to stop immigration they could of easily.

    Not even sure if I am working class anymore after this joke of a government's comments last year, the only people that they think are working class are the ones who don't want to work

    Take that chip off you shoulder :)

    This government has one hell off a mess to clear up and the alternative is Nigel the liar who is a major contributor to the state of the country.

    Your obsession with Farage doesnt have to be in every post. The best way to make sure he doesnt get the big seat is for your beloved Labour party to make a good job of government. The evidence so far suggests they are every bit as incompetent as the last lot though.

    Unless my memory is failing me Labour voted in favour of the final Brexit deal under Starmers say so. Same starmer who had previously stood shoulder to shoulder with corbyn saying they would renegotiate.

    if you believe your home has increased in value by 200% you are a fantasist.
    Good luck with downsizing and realising your new found wealth :emoticon-0148-yes:
    But whether or you you, individually are better off isn’t the actual issue though; it’whether as a whole nation we all see the benefits.
    Oh and increased by 200% :emoticon-0127-lipss:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Actually I was wrong ( partly ) as I bought the house 3 years before Brexit but just had it valued and it’s gone up 225% by 3 independent valuers. <laugh> <ok>

    Problem is they are making it worse with their incompetent, take your blinkers off man. The only way is to increase productivity but the luddite unions would never allow that because nobody is allowed to lose there job even if no job there, to have better services you need private business to make things and pay tax not drive them to bankruptcy, remember the majority of businesses in the UK are small to medium family run, not international corporations based abroad, something the left just cannot understand. Both my brothers own their own companies pay all taxes but had to release employees earlier this yes due to tax rises.

    The poster obviously likes common sense more than blinkered right wing divisive nonsense. I have some experience in property and if your home has gone up in value 200% in 8 years I take my hat off to you or suspect you are being economical with the truth..

    Good to see the couple freed today and praising foreign office staff. It’s soooo good to have good government

    Who mentioned unions?

    But since you have we have a lot to thank them for such as health and safety, workers rights, sensible working hours and the like though many would prefer to be in Victorian times.

    Most good companies work positively with the unions for everyone’s benefit. Though I do think the junior doctors have been a little greedy this year but you wouldn’t be complaining if one of them saved your life in an emergency situation.

    Yes private sector unions work with companies as they know go to far and companies go bust as cannot complete with competitors, trouble is public sector unions don't as they know gov will not go bust. I was a union member my whole working life including a couple of years after I retired, started as eng union, but finished as part of unite. Seen how both work at same time, my part of unite working with comp prod improvements required to get rise including job losses, better losing a few jobs to many, at the same time unite CS, want payrise with no improvements or job losses
