Wonder why Min keeps bashing on about being a 'remainer' ?? There is no such thing, we are out!!

Bitter and twisted and driven to drink.

I will keep him off filter for a while as i need some 'sport' in these lockdown times.

Getting people back to workBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 23, 2020It is time for government to come out with proposals that can make it easier to start or re start a  business and to keep or create new jobs. Unemployment is already far too high thanks to the anti virus policies adopted, and is set to go higher as we limp out of lock down.It is quite clear that there will need to be accelerated change in our economy to cope with the social distancing rules and the other changes that the pandemic has brought on. There will be more on line shopping and less shopping in physical stores. There will be more remote technology working in  health and education, in leisure and office work. These big changes will require large companies to be adaptive, and will require many more new and smaller businesses to offer new models and services and provide the flexibility fast change needs.Let's start with cutting into those great lists of the unemployed. Why not let any self employed person take on an employee or assistant, with the first year based on them being self employed. It is often the hassle of National Insurance, pensions and other paperwork that puts the self employed off expanding a successful business  by taking on additional staff. Give them up to a year to work with someone to see how good it can be and to guide them into the idea of accepting full employer responsibilities. Alternatively it might lead them to adopt a partnership or franchise model with the new person. We need more self employed to expand their often successful businesses.End the threat of IR35 changes. We are losing business to foreign companies, as large groups here worry about carrying on or taking on a UK self employed contractor for fear that their tax status will be queried at a later date.Raise the VAT threshold to allow small business more activity before they need to go through the complex process of registering for VAT.There were around 5 million self employed when the pandemic struck. We need to see them as an important part of our future, and give them every help to get going again and to grow their activities. Sometimes the Treasury seems to see them as a nuisance, seeking ways to tax them into working for a large employer or not working at all. It is a prejudice we cannot afford.

Most Beastly to the Chinese? are you for real lol.

[utrickytrees] 23/5/2020 07:44

FKall to do with the Americans & everything to do with Tory back benchers careful. Expect more of this, evidence must be stacking up on the Chinese. Could be more good news for BT.

I read today that Johnson has bowed to American pressure and agreed to remove Chinese 5G technology.
What a disgrace, the UK being ordered by America to do as it is told.

So much for our freedom after Brexit.

This upcoming American election will be about who can be most beastly to the Chinese.
And the UK will take orders from the White House.

Finally even the slowest on this thread will begin to understand how feeble we are when we try standing alone.
We have lost what little freedom and independence we had left after WW2.

Cities, buildings falling down
Ideal homes falling down
These pictures I see on the wall
Timeless leaders stand so tall
Assassin in a hit and run
Asia steals a new born son
Evacuees and refugees
Presidents and monarchies

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries

Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central Europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Love songs playing in the restaurants
Airport playing "Bi Some Lo"

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns
Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries

Europe has a language problem

Europe has a language problem
America has a language problem
I Travel
Euro-Bureau-Interpol
Making love to the criminals
Asia has a language problem
I Travel
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on

Must be quite difficult for male remainers over say 30 to go out for a social drink in a pub, unless they're going out in drag I expect they'd feel quite intimidated?

Promised you a miracle

The graph
On the wall

Tells the story
Of it all

Picture it now
See just how

The lies and deceit
Gained a little more power

Asa8,
No they'll be given free council housing and money to live off!!!
Nor will they be deported.

Nor are they asylum seekers.

They should be returned to France - dropped at Calais. Told if they're caught entering UK next time it's a capital crime.no exceptions.
