Agreed. Eurostar bankruptcy nothing to do with the Uk - let France or those investment firms bail it out.

Utricky

I have held positions where my opinion has been respected and listened to. Unlike you, who has been ignored from birth! ;)

My views on professional sports are shared by millions and millions agree with me.

Of course there will always be millions like you who will always reroute earnings that could go towards buying children food, clothes and nice little things in life so you can watch millionaire strangers kick balls into nets. Strange, but true.

MEANWHILE, it sounds like they are saying "we're fighting a war by rationing the bullets"! Their logic would be fine if they were running a logistics outfit, and didn't want to buy too many lorries.

WALES GOV./NHS - COVID UPDATE

In the race to become the most incompetent UK organisation, the Welsh Government/Welsh NHS alliance (a deadly combination at all times) have excelled themselves again.
Mark Drakeford himself has stated that a large number of units of the vaccine are being stockpiled in Wales' and not given at the highest possible rate, in order to keep a steady flow of vaccinations until the next bulk delivery. The vaccinators would have periods of inactivity if the highest possible rate was employed.

So now we know that the system runs for its own sake, not for the best outcome, and this stated clearly on live BBC news.

Boris Johnson consults businesses on plan to become Europe’s Singapore


Steven Swinford, Deputy Political Editor
Monday January 18 2021, 12.01am, The Times




Boris Johnson will hold talks with business leaders today about cutting red tape as ministers draw up plans to turn Britain into the “Singapore of Europe” now that it has left the European Union.

The prime minister will speak to 30 senior leaders about topics such as “regulatory freedoms” and reforming EU rules. Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, has been charged by Mr Johnson with leading a cross-Whitehall committee which will require departments to closely examine which regulations can be reformed.

The plans attracted controversy this month when it emerged that workers’ protections enshrined in EU law, including the 48-hour working week, were among regulations being considered for reform. According to the Financial Times options under consideration include changing the rules about rest breaks at work

Why are we waiting?By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 18, 2021I read that the Chancellor has been charged with chairing a Committee to take advantage of the freedoms we gain from leaving the EU. I wish him well, as there are many obvious easy wins which the government should have ready after four and half years delay in our exit. Why are we still waiting for them?The Chancellor in particular should get on with a Brexit bonus budget. He should set out the large savings on our contributions to the EU and how they are being used. He should explain how the sums we will still be paying to farmers in lieu of the CAP payments will be better directed. I want to see more of that money promoting domestic food production. The EU often paid us grants to stop us producing things.He should explain how he will police any residual bills from the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement and what action he will take to get our money back from the EIB and other joint assets we held with them.I want him to overhaul VAT, an EU tax. He could begin by removing it from all green products, and from domestic fuel. That would promote higher standards of insulation, fuel efficiency and more modern controls, and reduce fuel poverty.He should examine tax levels and grants for small business with a view to producing a better package. He needs to promote small business and self employment as we need them to power the recovery from the deep anti CV 19 recession we have been living through.This is not the time time to be increasing tax on the self employed through IR35, nor to be putting VAT onto foreign visitors who used to come here for duty free shopping amongst other reasons. We need a UK open for business and welcoming to visitors with money to spend.

Banks will charge businesses up to 35 per cent interest on Rishi Sunak's emergency Covid loans within weeks, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Data seen by this newspaper shows lenders have used the Chancellor's flagship £19billion loan fund to saddle businesses with 'usurious' rates, which come into effect this spring. Banks have issued £35 million of loans at rates of more than 14.99 per cent – even 34.9 per cent in one case – to firms shuttered by the pandemic, Treasury documents show. - Mail on Sunday

Keep boycotting EUSSR goods and products.Especially Germany and France and Holland

David James17 Jan 2021 8:46PMThe EU is an immoral cesspit. His spin about delay of the EU vaccine is just BS. It is because of EU corruption and the French demanding the French vaccine is bought by the EU. Only it won't be ready till December.So EU vaccination has to wait months. So France can grab cash. The cost is millions of EU people will get sick. Many will die, maybe over 100,000 extra deaths.All because the EU puts French grabbing cash ahead of saving lives and the health of millions.If that had been done by the Tories the BBC and mass media would have made it headline news constantly 24/7 for weeks.It is the EU so the BBC will hide this disgusting EU scandal and pretend / lie that the EU is dealing with Covid far better than the U.K.

maurice daley17 Jan 2021 4:10PMOf course the UK became a "third country" the day after leaving. All our standards were not suddenly downgraded from those enjoyed the day before. But leaving allows the EU to be petty and vindictive. It is what we have come to expect from them and as this ambassador has said we have to get used to dealing with petty minded, vindictive and nasty people. That is the message the EU want to give to any other country that steps out of line. Do as you are told or the EU will punish you so badly - a Dutch customs officer will stage the confiscation of a ham sandwich from a British driver for Dutch TV; I hope the officer enjoyed the sandwich and his moment as a celebrity.The UK position was that standards are the same and therefore a light touch would be applied initially.

Fraid not. Never goes our way:-) Dont think there was even a call for one. Come to think of it cant remember VAR being called upon. Maybe that tells a tale.
