    By not taking back control we’re actually in full control if you think about it.

    Yes, we can choose to give the Europeans an advantage.

    It’s our decision though and nothing is more Brexit than being our own boss even if it means cutting off our own feet if it’s what we choose to do and Germany can’t force us to have feet. They only want us to buy their shoes anyway.

    Problem is Staines I have realised over the years, that the Union I had been in(Unison)are **** negotiators. I have been on Strike 3 times and the deals they ended up accepting were absolutely shocking. I came out of it 2years ago totally disillusioned, as I was always very pro unions, thinking they were on the workers side, but sadly I think they just are on their own side

    Yeah it can feel like that sometimes I agree, and there are definitely good and bad….both high up in the Union and the actual floor reps themselves.
    By the time I left BA I was pretty appalled at the Union that represented myself, for both personal and more wide issues, but in my new job I’ve been very lucky and nothing but praise for our reps and what they do.
    Personally I would rather have group representation for workers, that at least gives some kind of larger say, than many individuals, each saying there own thing.

    BBC News on the Trump indictment - This is looking serious, let's go and ask some idiots what they think.

    Seems Trump will adopt the Johnson defence - you can't actually know what was in his mind when he was plainly lying through his teeth.

    Hard to prove, I suppose.

    Have to say I’m highly offended that a butterfly shoe wearing, cake eating, left wing, conservative humanitarian would make such sweeping statements!

    Have any of the RWBPs you refer to complained yet about the mass denial/removal of bank accounts for lots of Asians. Especially as they are now great champions of the human right to hold accounts at extremely posh banks for the people that matter. Or about Staines' post. It's been a couple of days now. Have I missed them in the floods of protest?

    Isn't that the landslide Labour government that turned a 140+ majority into an advantage of just five within 5 years, and then delivered a small Tory majority the year after that?

    No, I'm an open-minder. Since these are NASA figures posted by what most would agree is an experienced, serious journalist, it is food for thought.
