JudyJudyJudy Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 33 minutes ago, The Mighty Thor said: They're all jumping in with 'David's Law', even guys like Mark Francois, who enjoyed an extended break from parliament and the public eye earlier this year and in totally unrelated events, around the same time an MP in his 50's was suspended from parliament whilst sexual assault claims were 'investigated' by the speaker of the house and the leader of the house. The victim is still appealing to the CPS as to why the case was not pursued. So yes I can understand why certain people, particularly those with things they'd rather keep quiet, would want social media voices shut down. It wasn't social media accounts calling out the lies and shenanigans of those in power that killed Davis Ames, it appears it may well have been home bred Islamic fundamentalism. Any government should be open to transparency and held to account. This particularly nefarious mob will be moving heaven and earth to prevent that from happening. 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ked Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 On 14/10/2021 at 11:05, Cade said: The problems the Yanks are having is that people coming off Furlough seem to have no interest in going back to their shite jobs with pish pay and awful conditions. This is also the case in Europe and in the UK. But the USA and Europe have far larger populations and will be able to replace the lost workers far more easily than isolated Little Britain. We've seen this already, with the UK government opening visas in a desperate attempt to pull in more labour but hardly any overseas workers taking up the offer, instead preferring to find work where they are. It's debatable whether or not the supply chain crisis in the UK would still have happened purely due to Brexit, or whether Brexit has simply amplified the Covid effect, but the Operation Yellowhammer paper did warn of supply chain problems, and mostly everything else that was in that paper has come true, so take from that what you will. Supply chains were predicted as far back as 2012 to be not fit for purpose. Chinas ports are at a standstill. Brexit has contributed . The bigger picture is concerning. China has control through state owned COSCO of 90 plus ports in 60 plus countries and is set to own Hamburg . Basically a network of footprints around the world without having deployed one soldier is how this has been described. I've posted before that we have a consumer driven economy that has been artificially low in its cost . But high in price paid in the effects it has.

These shitebags are utterly shameless. Using a horrific murder as an excuse to hide what they're buying themselves with our money. *MPs on all sides of the house supported this gobshite.

Come on in the waters fine guys Their relationship was plunged into crisis earlier this month when a Polish court ruled some of Poland's laws had primacy of EU ones. "We cannot and we will not allow our common values to be put at risk," said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. But Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, also present at the plenary session in Strasbourg, hit back. "Poland will not be intimated," said Morawiecki, vowing to defend his country's sovereign independence against the "creeping expansion" of EU institutions. mon the Poles ! Was reading some interesting analysis that talked about Poland's approach post Brexit. Given the world of pain the UK went through it suggested that Poland was unlikely to leave and that by being disruptive within the EU was far more of a threat/nuisance to the structure than the catharticism of divorce. https://www.economist.com/europe/2021/10/14/poland-is-a-problem-for-the-eu-precisely-because-it-will-not-leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Typical of the British nationalist mindset that, now we've left a club that we didn't like being in, we have people who are now agitating for other members to leave as well, just in case the club thrives without us. Farage trying to stir up the Irish now, and this talk of Poland wanting out as well, when around 80% of their population have indicated that they are happy to be in the EU. Still no sign of the bogey man membership of Turkey being granted either. It seems that if the UK can't make the success of Brexit we were all promised before Rees Mogg's 50 year plan expires, we want the EU to fail too, just for our comfort. Global Britain right enough.

NANOJAMBO Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 AN interesting take on the recent budget - The proposal to reduce and remove sparkling wine super tax will cost the U.K. £119m PA approximately, however the new still wine taxes will yield an extra £4.5BN. But the system from an importation point of view will not be workable Currently their are three main tax codes for duty on wine, 411,413 & 415. These are the bands from 8.5% to 22% and sparkling wine in its own band. Most still wine is tax at £2.23 per 75cl bottle and £2.86 for sparkling. Above 15% still is £2.96. The new still wine tax system will tax wine differently at every 0.5% ABV increase from 8.5% to 22%. So as said completely unworkable in the real world and a massive duty increase Its true that fizz having a super tax was a complete nonsense but this is something no government has wanted to change for generations. Bearing in mind Prosecco with 63% of all fizz sales in the U.K. takes the brunt of this tax, one must wonder why it was not changed sooner However whilst the old system was poorly thought through the new system will be catastrophic if actually applied. Moving from 3 tax points to 27 will be impossible to manage or police This proposal has clearly be put together, as ever, by someone who doesn’t actually understand what’s involved in shipping wine. It’s probably the same person who didn’t understand the implications of Vi1 & once the industry pointed the issues out the government u-turned However these basics points still don’t address the massive lie about the strategy to pretend the government has reduced tax on wine. It’s actually the complete opposite. Moreover will make wine in the U.K. the most taxed in Europe. With these new duties from February 2023 a regular bottle of wine of 13.5% will be increasing by over £1.20 per bottle once you add VAT and margins on retail prices There's more but I think that's more than enough.
