The miners were given sufficient severance to retire early to Mablethorpe.

All these previous Leave campaigners around Number 10 look like a bunch of right cronies.


The UK is being run by these idiots? One of them who used to dress as a chicken and follow Cameron around?

Unbelievable!

Oh dear, I forgot, Lloyds killed the adult training centre by using it as a cash cow.

Sorry folks!

LOL!

[minerve 2] 12/11/2020 10:38

Retrain and go and do something else, like everybody else has to!

The miners were forced to do it! Fisherman are no different and nothing special.

I don't get what all this EU/UK fishing malarkey is all about.

If a fish has been living in EU waters and decides to move to UK waters..... Whose fish is it anyway.
All beyond me...

'people of colour' and 'coloured people' are identical in meaning.

bit like the french don't have present progressive tense.

To the shop I go.

I am going to the shop.

'Black and Asian people at greater risk from Covid, study finds'

Saying that is OK, however saying 'people of colour' seems to be a problem.

Being a bit of a thick old git, could someone put me right.

Looking to buy the dips. This market is still bullish imo. Apart from minor slide in GDP for Sep recovery has started. Lots of companies struggling but lots of companies beating expectations. Some of the indices at the top of their trading range and if it hadn't been for the U.S election result and vaccine news it would have adjusted from Monnday.However , the double whammy of a 90% + vaccine (still to be approved) and Eli Lilly's FDA approved antibody treatment means we are winning the waragainst Covid. All of the focus will probably be on the economy now and because people can still go to work, unlike the first lockdown ,we should be ok.Just a question of rebuilding. W.H.Smiths are closing stores but they were doing that before the Covid. Their business like the banks is transferring to the Internet.As for leaving the E.U with a free trade deal it's anybody's guess. It's in everyone's interest that it happens but there are some seriousIssues legal issues centered around Ireland again to be resolved. Good Luck.

dont know bba.

Given the Russian collusion was actually a Hillary smear campaign, and the democrats persistently claimed trump stole the 2016 election and attempted to impeach trump, sorry, lost count, how many times?, it lends credence to the democrats feeling justified in cheating. Not that the socialists actually feel a need for justification.

Tie that with democrat claims Trump wouldn't leave office, Polisi stating the actual votes wont matter and Biden statement that they have arranged the biggest fraud machine ever, you have to wonder. Of cause, it could all be a plan to make Trump paranoid and make him look a bigger idiot. That said, why bother, and in general, double bluffs don't work.

Regardless of all the minutia, democracy must seen to be done. Sweeping the fraud claims under the carpet does not support the democratic process. The claims must be investigated and a clear winner established. Failure to do so will leave simmering resentment whichever the winner.

If it was pre-arranged bbalanjones as you describe, then there may be an electronic footprint which would show up under scrutiny.

The Prime Minister's fiancée, Carrie Symonds, needs to butt out.

Odious environmentalist that she is.

[bbalanjones] 12/11/2020 09:02

What if it transpires that after "predicting" mass fraud over a year ago _ Trumps loyal idiots went ahead and 'arranged' it to be so? Improbable? . . . . mmmmmm?

[ekuuleus] 12/11/2020 09:02

including policy adviser Oliver Lewis, could quit in protest.

Oh, please don't Oliver. I'd really like you to stay. But if you insist, here, let me hold the door for you.

India records "Strong Growth" whilst Russia tap the European money market for the first time in 2020.

As evidence of irregularities and fraud to do with the US election gathers, it would be easy to sit back complacently and say well that's the US...it couldn't happen here though, or could it.
One would like to the think the Electoral Commission is wise to the tricks pulled but maybe if not in place already a continuous review and update process would be good. For example does anyone know if when deaths are registered here a link is sent to automatically update the Electoral Register?
Reports in US of ballot papers being sent to dead people, whilst not only upsetting for surviving relatives, clearly gives scope for fraud.

"Are we living in a soap opera?".....starting to sound a bit like it. But hey no problem as it'll make a change from Corrie.

Boris Johnson's adviser Lee Cain quits Downing Street role after revolt by Carrie Symonds

Fears more aides will follow Lee Cain out after opposition to Dominic Cummings ally being promoted from the PM's fiancee

Boris Johnson was trying to prevent an exodus of Downing Street staff on Wednesday night after a key aide resigned following a public power struggle with the Prime Minister's fiancée Carrie Symonds.

Dominic Cummings, Mr Johnson's most senior adviser, was understood to be considering his position following the departure of his former Vote Leave ally Lee Cain as Mr Johnson's director of communications.

Mr Cain's resignation prompted frantic late night scenes in No 10 as staff were tasked with ringing colleagues to gauge how many of them might quit if Mr Cummings followed Mr Cain out of the door.

It came after reports that Mr Cummings had confronted the Prime Minister in Downing Street after Mr Cain announced he would be leaving at the end of the year.

There were even fears that members of the Prime Minister's Brexit negotiation team, including policy adviser Oliver Lewis, could quit in protest.

Lee Cain being good or not, that is up to the PM. However, how does some unelected/non-appointed 32 year old child have any say in how things are run? Are we living in a soap opera?
