    The numbers are there though. They have gone up or stayed level for many years. And as it says new buils drip fed to keep prices at a premium. That is why the numbers were so high pre pandemic. It isn't their job to help the government out. But it certainly doesn't help.

    If that is the case it would have been when I had my wobble I said about when all the corruption in the EU was coming out. But I honestly do not remember saying so.

    Again do you trust any political party to finally do something?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour did nothing last time. They had enough years to do something. I have gone past trusting any politician. We would need a massive building program just to keep up with present needs. And even then they build on flood plains. Then you have the NIMBY's. If the housebuilding were forced to...

    Illegal immigration has gone up. I remember the pre Brexit immigration numbers. I put them at between 2 and 3 million. Got told I was an idiot. Maybe I am an idiot. Turned out it was close to 4 million who needed the right to stay.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    IIRC was asked why anyone would vote leave. My point was for my children. At one stage I had a wobble and got pissed off about everything but it didn't last long. I still fear for the youth of today. Properties are getting more expensive and there seems no end to it. Too many people chasing...

    They are much better now but we're a nightmare previously. I once saw a 12 mile tailback of parked up lorries waiting to cross. These days it nearly always runs smoothly.

    Look at how many times I ask those to quote what they imply I have said. It is constant. Not happy now and never have been. What I do remember before the vote was being asked what could be good about leaving. I gave a list including not enough housing for those who have already come to live...

    I see things very clearly. I see things from both sides as well as from the French side. A friend of mine who is French told me he is glad they will never get the choice. Says the EU is as corrupt as the French government. But they are better off in than out. The arguing has split families...

    Everyone should vote for Starmer? Here we go again. I have said since before he git the position that I see him as our best chance. I still do. But he is only the best out of a very bad bunch. And that includes all parties. Or would you like to quote me with what your statement says?

    I am now but had enough of this Brexit bullshit. If anyone knows how shit it is it is me. To keep our dream alive my wife had to move to France with the three youngest in 2019. Then Covid hit. There was 14 months my children couldn't see me. Then we found out my wife had cancer. Then Brexit...

    He even pulled you up for misquoting him and saying at the very bottom of the list as in slightest affect. You came out with quoting him totally differently. One person quoting another coming out with bullshit is ganging up? Yeah OK. Will leave you to your fantasies

    Via a source he won't reveal. Have never seen prices like them before. Just been shopping. No shortage of anything and no restrictions either. Our prices are half the price of those in France on average. Rarely see a cauli for less than €3. See them as high as €10. Meat usually twice the...

    You're deluded if you voted for him.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It is on your list yes. It would be like what you have done with Steve twisting his words. Although nobody has said it is the fault of Brexit you got him eventually to say after many other causes it might be. And put it at the very bottom of any reasons it could be. So then you state he said...

    Very bottom like he has just said. In other words maybe very slightly. Several other reasons. Some are for definite. But they seem to be getting ignored.

    So he said it was Brexit? As usual I come out with the truth backed up with evidence. Not one bit of evidence has been shown where it says it is the fault of brexit. It shows Ireland has the same problem. They're in the EU.
