BBC always selective.
Produce progs nobody wants to watch and insist that we pay for not watching them.
The unbiased view went a long time ago. The guardian was once a newspaper - now a toilet roll for those that subscribe- Times just as bad and sorry - the rest are just pictorials = mail used to be - but under Geordie just a trash paper -
Into the sewers in such a small space of time - just in keeping with SM I guess?

cheshire - catch up - the brand new HMS Trent would need oars at the moment.

[scruff1] 20/8/2020 21:47

Connection with benefits

[maxk] 20/8/2020 20:53

But the French wont solve it, why should they?

Better still, simply turn off the benefit taps.

[geckotheglorious] 20/8/2020 20:52

Can I suggest mining the English Channel Cheshire? :)
That'll solve the problem.

[cheshire pete] 20/8/2020 20:29

Alphorn: "cheshire - send the brand new HMS Trent. (Look it up)."

Once the illegal immigrants have left French soil to cross the Channel events have shown there's nothing anyone can do. The French know this, the smuggling gangs and immigrants, and so too our Govt. and agencies. Which is why somehow they have to be stopped from leaving France. It is a French problem to solve not a UK one.

Conservative values used to exemplify a "one nation" inclusiveness

How about one nation inclusiveness such as:
marriage is the union of a man and a woman
the country's full, no more thanks
charity begins at home so foreign aid will have to wait
criminals should get a punishment that fits the crime and that can only mean one thing for murderers
we put a Bill of Rights on the statute book centuries ago and we don't need help from foreigners on what human rights are

These policies would command near universal support but the left wing "Conservatives" would be no more likely than Corbyn to introduce them.

HS2 is about 20 years late but even so it's a must.

Why?

In the 19th century railway company promoters were able to say, with our new system journey times will be cut from DAYS to HOURS. Now that was an investment worth making. But billions and billions to cut your journey from 1 hr 45 mins to 1 hr 35 mins - what's the big deal? What's the point?

Dont expect it to be a weight off your shoulders careful.

I am thinking of having my brain removed

Would anyone be able to tell the difference?

[alphorn] 20/8/2020 18:48

cheshire - send the brand new HMS Trent. (Look it up).

[jl5006] 20/8/2020 18:42

BTW - alifish - disclosure of anything not in the public domain is illegal - So what do u want?

All political decisions impact this share.
No divi - day to day flu cases similarly impact.
Or did u not realise how we shareholders are suffering.
Invested Alifish?
And BTW - we know nothing other than what is in the media!

[cheshire pete] 20/8/2020 18:37

So what are we to conclude with regard to the UK Govt's failure to get the awful French to stop illegal immigrants from leaving their shores for UK? What message does it send out to Barnier as he tries through stealth to keep us shackled to the EU?

He'll be thinking we're a soft touch with no bottle to walk away without a deal.

[ali47fish] 20/8/2020 18:28

is board about lloy or a political platform!

A fair comment
And the responsibility - of course - for the failings lies with the CS HO FO - for these are responsible for the day to day workings - or not it seems
The Gov merely endorses.
Has labours HR act so empowered the unentitled that they can demand what they want from the raft in the channel.
NO newspaper carries that challenge as to what really went wrong under Labour. just screw BJ.
A very boring media!!!

Richard Heaton20 Aug 2020 5:51PMThe only thing Boris & his clowns have got right since December is not giving that s.it Bercow a peerage.Everything else has been the wrong decision or/at the wrong time.    Voted for a Churchill got a Chamberlain, government's actions to date make Hapless May look quite competent!Can't have it both ways, they want us to get out & back to work & schools but too many mixed messages & still spreading project fear.    Happy to threaten us with fines for breaking CV19 'law' but can't be bothered to stop illegals down in Dover & even escort them to 5* hotels.    All CON Virus 19 law needs to go NOW.One word sums them up - SHAMBOLIC.

One nation fell apart when Labour created devolved authorities.
Each authority has MPs in HOC and also their own members.
One NS decides to do her own thing - there is no one nation.
drakeford does his -
One nation - no - because there is no acceptance of the concept by the devolved authorities and then the mayoral mayhem
Whoever thought that devolved authorities would result in better government.
just as the Select coms set up by T Bliar - just try to destroy - cos they can.
And the Quangos - cameron said he would burn them - more false words.

[careful] 20/8/2020 17:51

How negative I have become.
I would love to be happy like a Brexiteer.

Dreaming of British greatness and Victorian times.
Nelsons navy, the Dam busters and the Raj.

If only we could send a gun boat down the river as before, like Brexiteers believe.

I have tried to think like a Brexiteer but can't, I am thinking of having my brain removed, I am sure it will help.

I like the bit in your piece above that said an American government sponsored Agency helped them invent the internet.
What a bloody cheek, it was an Englishman who invented the internet.
Sir Tim Berners Lee, a quiet modest Oxford professor.

But the Yanks do claim these things.
But they know how to market them.
Steve Jobs and his I Phone, American ingenuity, (actually he was Syrian mostly).
Bezos at Amazon, (actually he is.......)


This article is over optimistic about the UK. and its potential

Everyone racing to catch up with Korea and China on 5g.
Who would have thought it.
They are all at it, India, China, Russia, Korea...too much competition.

There is a great levelling up going on, we shall all end up being paid the same.

JL5006: Right Wing? Conservative values used to exemplify a "one nation" inclusiveness that started to disappear with Maggie constantly asking "Is he/she one of us?" Things got worse when the coalition muddied the water and moved right ever since. If there was any sense in the Tory Party, instead of pandering to old farts and pocket liners we would not be in the current mess. BoJo is just a weak cipher of a PM who is blown about by any crony in for a buck.
