    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    At the bottom…if you want 😊 We’re three years post proper brexit. It’s not happened since so can only presume the other issues are the primary drivers

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ive not said it’s had no impact, it might have had a minor impact but people latch onto this as the reason. Just pointing out the nonsense

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Supply chains shouldn’t have changed. Next year maybe. The fact that it’s probably far easier to supply to nearby countries on mainland appears to be missed. ‘Policy adviser Ksenja Simovic said: "It doesn't help that the UK is out of the EU and single market, but I don't think this is the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Oh I was talking about the great tomato shortage. Not defending the government at all. I think they’ve made an absolute shambles of stuff post brexit. My point is people trying to blame everything on Brexit is a bit weird

    Come on Clint. I know everything’s brexits fault but not this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64718826.amp There’s plenty of genuine issues/challenges without people making bollocks up. There’s been this constant drip drip of misinformation still, not sure why ardent remainers feel it’s...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    looks like a big spike since 2010 which was post financial crisis (not sure if that’s relevant or not) and following large population growth in U.K. (5m) Germany and France have only grown by about 2m each and Italy decreased by 1m since 2010. Since 2000 we’ve grown by almost 9m, Germany by...

    I think the OBR are 22bn out on their forecast borrowing figure provided in Nov ! This is hot on the heels of BoEs forecasted eight quarter recession in Nov, which had already shrunk to 3-4 quarters by last month. Its why I take forecasts with more than a pinch of salt ultimately though this is...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I’ve not seen anything that has been substantiated or even fully justified but did see someone from BoE say about 3% per annum food inflation, not total inflation. Not sure how when there are no tariffs and we’re not checking any goods until 2024 (so no extra cost for EU exporters caused by...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Im not sure if you’re kidding but I’ve heard Labour would support the proposals so they could get through. Sunak would still be in the shit though. He really needs DUP to support them which would probably dampen down ERG/nutters arguments a bit

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree mate. Pre Brexit both ours and many European countries would swing from minority in support of EU to minority against it. A lot of this will depend on people’s individual circumstances, the performance of the economy etc….as well as some external persuasions as you say. My frustration...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Hmmm, I understand what you’re saying but i wasn’t being disingenuous. The fact is it would be a minor voting issue for most people (until 2017). When the referendum finally came half the public voted out so were obviously not happy with what it had become. From memory I think France, Ireland...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Most don’t/didn’t want to be a part of the political institution the EU had become, one which continued to get ever closer. We signed up to be part of a trading bloc and ended up being involved in something very different. You can blame the politicians and the EU as an institution as much as...

    Yeah, mentioned that the other day. Will be interesting to see their response !

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Hopefully he’s the equivalent of some of the ERG nutters in the Tories. The DUP leader was making more positive noises last week. Nice to see Johnson sticking his oar in yesterday…they’re trying to clear up one of the turds you left so maybe best to keep it buttoned for now

    Fuel prices

    Yeah, I try to keep petrol/diesel and home energy separate. Either way both should be coming down ! Im sure it will improve soon Wingy

    Agree with that but by all accounts the petrol stations are making more than double usual profit per litre since pandemic

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve used plenty in clubs over the years and was more than happy….the state of gents toilets these days are usually a disgrace. My point is that I’m not sure a majority of women feel the same, certainly not in all settings. Also most places if you take the urinals out, the queues will be round...

    Agree with the final paragraph but I suppose the flip side is why try to alter various things for such a tiny proportion of the population 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans man. 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans woman. 30,000 (0.06%) identified as non-binary. 18,000 (0.04%) wrote in a...
