    National average increase is ~30-35% over the past 8 years. Some going if you live in an area that has gained 220%, unless of course you've invested heavily in improvements.

    correct - claiming in excess of 200% is either insanity or (bluntly) lying - I suspect (know it’s) the latter.
    Apparently the name calling has begun, as usual - I don’t understand maths so I’ll bow out at this point.
    Final point, to make my position clear -
    The fella is talking absolute rubbish; “look everything’s great - my house has trippled in value!”
    While everything is burning around him..,

    Thanks mate,
    You don’t need the pinch of salt though.
    Labour have only been in a year though so it’s the Tories you should be thanking <laugh>

    The whole factory was unite, and overall I do believe unions are needed but should work with management not against

    He's anti-woman's rights. I fear him more than the foreign men in boats that he bleats on about.

    Name a company who went bust because of unions. Ideally name 2. Give us the detail behind your opinions .
    I heard someone say the other day ‘they come over here taking our jobs’. I’d also like to hear an example of someone failing at an interview because they chose a foreigner instead.
    I’m calling bullshit unless someone proves it

    Farage is flirting with Christian extremist anti abortionists and is considering accepting policy for donations. Does taking choice away from cash empower women ?

    British Car industry gone coal mines gone, plenty of engineering companies (tool MC makers ) to name a few industries. MOST unions though when dealing with private sector realise that you go to far and 100% jobs gone
    They come over here quote, i take it you know nothing about building industry where cheap east EU labour brought into country living 10 to house undercutting bricklayers wages also plenty of documented data about textile industry and slave labour.

    Name the engineering companies and car manufacturers I’ll look into it. In the meantime I’ll look at the timeline for the closure of mines and see if it’s based on reality or a clouded Farage loving version.

    Read this
    ‘About three-quarters of the country's 187,000 miners went on strike to oppose the pit closures, which were expected to mean 20,000 job losses’
    So the strike was about job losses which had been announced. FACT
    Now tell me the name of someone you know who lost their job b construction because a foreigner came in and tell me the circumstances.
