Council tax isn't cheaper. Even within Durham itself, people in lower economic areas like Horden and Peterlee pay more in council tax than more affluent areas like around Durham city centre. That's bonkers!
Because it broke the agreements in place to control numbers. Read about it. Everyone but Reform know it and say it. It’s not a good look for Farage. It shows how ideology alone cost be responsible for policy.
Control what numbers, are you saying according to the "experts" 900k Illegal immigrants arrived every year after brexit.
I read somewhere that council tax is going up 4.99% in Durham. I paid £1200 in April for this years, so I make that an extra £60 per year, £5 per month. If we can get better services, then I’d be more than happy to chip in an extra £5 each month. I don’t think £5 per month is going to ruin anybody, let’s be realistic.
Would love to know where I can get a beer for £2.50 these days Can’t even get a fish from the chippy or a kebab for that price. It’s £5.60 a pint, in my local, btw. Robbing bastards.
'Spoons.....very often less than £2.50 a pint. Mind you....it's 'Spoons.....in my experience,it's often worth paying double to avoid!
There were people moving in and out before but there were ‘allocation’ agreements before that between partners. Dumb English people thought we got them all when the reality was we got less than others.
Why are English people dumb or is that people who think differently to you and your mates like blondie. Is this the latest fade on the left, D**K swinging competitions.
I wouldn’t profess to know the inner workings of Brexit though obviously the Tories were in power so they could have perhaps done more. May, whether you like her politics or not, was a decent person but it was up to 400k a year on her watch. All I know was the consensus of experts told us that Brexit would make immigration a lot worse. They were right. Moving forward this government inherited an absolute mess not of their making but it has recruited hundreds of border force workers to try and clear the backlog in an attempt to get on top of the problem.
I passed the one on North Road in Durham yesterday. I wouldn’t drink there for free judging by the clientele that was hanging around smoking their tabs and vapes outside
Yep,I was born and raised in Consett,.....so I know rough.....but some of these Spoons venues raise the bar!
Was told spoons pulled the plug on that one marra last year,still has the same spoons vibe inside, aye and you’re right the clientele is a bit different
