Awful French allowing it to happen. Our friends? lol. Remainers note. Thank goodness we've left.

Heard in the news earlier migrants are still coming...and the Dover MP wants them to be deported straight back to where they came from...agree...

[diku] 07/8/2020 22:35

Maybe the French are directing those migrants to the UK...less burden for them...






Former Border Force officer Chris Hobbs said many of his old colleagues believe authorities on the continent are not stepping up to the plate.

"There is zero enthusiasm amongst front line French uniform police… their view appears to be if some wish to travel to the 'end of the line,' namely the UK, why should they be stopped?" he said."

So there we have it, never trust the French - it's something history has taught us time and time again.

Withdrawal Agreement is the remainers charter. While it exists we haven't really left the EU. Barnier playing on it and we're allowing it to continue and fester.

Declare talks finished and WTO.

Dopey 007: "Back to LLOY. Do we expect dividend to be reinstated at the same levels as previously when they do? If so over 11% yield if bought today"

Difficult to be optimistic Dopey given the record of PPI payments and provision for impairments on the likes of car loans. Message given out is shareholders should take the pain by foregoing dividends. If we don't like it then tough.

Have only a token stake in LLOY. Much better opportunities elsewhere imho.

It's appreciated a little.

We all know what needs to be done.

However the government seems to be incapable of carrying out the simplest of tasks.


We are still in the €U, even though the deadline has long passed.

Remember the "dead in a ditch" quote?


Why is Doris still prime minister, why hasnt his body been found?

Fire them back out of a big cannon.

"Have you looked at the value of your net-worth on the world stage"

M2 - posters here will have no idea what you are talking about - they are almost all Harold Wilson thinkers. Just wait for the blames that will surely appear. Wrong type of leaves by the ton.

And Boycott France and French produce.

Frustrating, but..

"In January last year, the UK government agreed to pay for security and surveillance on the French side to stop people making the perilous journey.

In October, beach patrols and intelligence sharing were stepped up to try and disrupt the ruthless smuggling gangs behind many of the crossings.

Then last month, a new Franco-British "joint intelligence cell" was formed with both countries agreeing that boats in the Channel should be returned to France rather than the UK.

It's perhaps ironic, given promises to "take back control" of borders, that any success the UK might have in stopping migrants arriving here depends largely on the willingness of France to play ball.

Put bluntly, if France doesn't stop the boats leaving, there is only so much Britain can do to send them back.

Former Border Force officer Chris Hobbs said many of his old colleagues believe authorities on the continent are not stepping up to the plate.

"There is zero enthusiasm amongst front line French uniform police… their view appears to be if some wish to travel to the 'end of the line,' namely the UK, why should they be stopped?" he said."

I sympathise MS
Cancer is not a disease - neither is C 19 - but a deterioration of body functioning organs. There is no cure - merely prolongation of life via drugs.
Phps there has to be an acceptance that the NHS is not a means to extend life - at great cost - for those that did not have the immune system to combat - or just failure to manage their life via exercise etc.

[jl5006] 07/8/2020 19:05

If the incidence of death FROM C 19 is small - can PHE etc explain that they had no clue - yet should have and still dont - yet force BJ to pronounce.
Why has ferguson raised his ugly head again - Tower for him BJ
Just suppose - no module -just thought - better than any computer - that 500k ppl died from C 19 - not true of course - and the end product thanks to the media - is a totally fxxked economy.- 60 million
And the sheisters still refuse to let up
Of course hated R4 and Sky cant stop peddling this.
They have no idea how they have screwed the simple minded.

Matthew Smith6 Aug 2020 8:20PM@Green Fly @M Bilewyczits easy to label everyone as an 'arm-chair critic' but when you see people aged 31 die of cancer because their treatment was halted, and you see people slightly older, 46, have a heart attack from stress as business goes down the pan, and you see people at 83 being labelled as a covid death despite not having a covid test, you begin to question the sanity of the actions being taken.450 people die every day of every year from cancer (165k per year)an estimated 20k additional cancer deaths are already expected this year as a direct result of lockdown46k died "with" covid (we don't know how many died of heart attacks but "with covid" because it wasn't recorded).We have spent almost 1/4 of 1 entire year of GDP "fighting" a disease which kills people at the very end of their lives, average age 82.  This disease is simply not deadly enough to warrant the continued measures being taken.That is the problem with it.  Not in March - now.  I can forgive the panic reaction in March - but now, with all that we know - both about this virus and the destruction upon our economy (and therefore, our children's lives) - time for the leadership to admit that it isn't so awful and time for us to get on with our lives as they were before.I am sorry for those who have lost loved ones (including me) but it is time that we accept that death happens - and get on with whatever we have left of our lives.

"Miss Widdecombe"

Tells you all you need to know.

I wonder why?

Check this out: The Lloyds share price is dirt-cheap! This is what I'd do nowhttps://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/lloyds-share-price-dirt-cheap-150303957.html... Yahoo Finance

[chavitravi2] 07/8/2020 16:10

Yep, I remember there was a problem with potatoes for a short will and government
subsidised them but a packet of crisps price went right up and never came down a few weeks after when normality returned. Same with a lot of things, quick to go up but slow to come down or never come down. The point is it sets off a chain reaction of price rises and pay rises the same as we all suffered in the 70's 80's. Nobody was a real winner, all losers cos we couldnt sell what we made, to dear. You put what money you had in the fridge and your Sunday joint if you could afford it in the safe!

Edit, and Corbyn wanted to bring that back. No thanks.

[ekuuleus] 07/8/2020 16:09

hmm, really missing the point of furlough on this thread. but anyway.

[utyinv] 07/8/2020 16:07

Mind you, family went out for a meal at a country pub ( where my son lives with his partner) and prices were the same.

Good food, convivial environment, pub doesn’t need to increase prices as they are busy everyday of the week. They still social distancing and maintain a strict regime of service, which works.

Pubs like this will always survive. They have passion in what they do and the clientele reward that culture by returning time and time again.

[utyinv] 07/8/2020 16:00

Chavitravi2

Absolutely. Look at Cadbury, size of chocolate dairy milk ( family pack), size of the bars have reduced by 25% but still the same price.
They put it down to trying to combat obesity but that doesn’t wash. Doesn’t mean to say if the bars were double the size people have to eat it all at once.

Excuse to profiteer. As a youngster I noticed the same when decimalisation came into play. Prices went up, sizes of portions came down.

Inevitable really.
