  4. I think you should take your own advice, and provide evidence for your claims.

  5. It wasn't known...? The Register is on the Internet. And Kier Starmers been an MP for donkeys years. Get real. This is another faux argument, and Duffield is a joke.

  6. I'm sorry, but Brexit was an idea. You voted for an idea, not a credible plan. You were delivered something that couldn't work, as it was made up as they went along. That's why every prime minister since Brexit has had it blow up on their faces. The city of London lost a huge chunk of their derivatives trade, and so that sector has cut jobs, and cut people and branches. Brexit is a story about emotion trumping intellect. Feelings over facts. By rejecting the facts, there was no other outcome possible.

  7. Sophistry 101.

  8. The country isn't hearing from Ms Braverman. They're hearing from her backers, who are paying her to talk such claptrap. It's a distraction from the real, concrete injustices that plague our society. And she's just grifting as usual. That's why she in the US, because that where the money is coming from. And that's why she was spouting such bilious nonsense. I hope her constituents are pleased with their choice.

  10. Jumping the Starmer ship? This is not football. He's not on anyone's "side". How can he be when they're two cheeks of the same backside?

  11. Your change of having a pay rise matching inflation for the next 4 decades or so. By that time your current equanimity will be a long forgotten memories as you scramble to stay alive. Happy days? Right?

  12. How sad.

  13. Perhaps the cathedral spire is bent? Or some big government honcho is in town, and his security team alert level is paranoid? Who knows? Go ask them.

  14. Politics is the process how any community decides who gets what. That means that exposing and dealing with the shenanigans of the power hungry is part of the process. Until one secures power, one cannot run it. So, choosing who will run the country comes before being able to run it. Separating the two is naive. In 2016 and 2019, the country fell for the Get Brexit Done shtick, which was nothing to do with running the country better. It was a load of rich people trying to get their way. And they won. And look at the result. Just getting rid of that bunch is a relief. Now, we have a government explicitly trying to serve the best interests of the country. In that, they've already begun to succeed.

  15. Is that why our food exporters have gone out of business then? Badenoch can't even lie straight in bed.

  16. And who is in the economy. Isn't it people? Markets are made of of people, so might not be the problems these economies face reflect their priorities? Perhaps they should have a hard look at them.

  17. Please Google "Parliamentary Sovereignty". Then you might be better informed before you opine again.

  18. And how can we trust you? Or anything you say? Just a thought.

  20. That's the problem with our political class. Their inability to be responsive to the economic failures of the last 5 decades, created the space for institutional distrust to grow, and politician entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of that to fill the gap. The British Establishment, and establishments in developed countries, have lost the means to force the beneficiaries to stop being parasites, and prefer to spend the money to manufacture consent for them having even more power. Why? When people realise that it's not the Scapegoats of The Week who are breaking the Social Contract and normalising increasing poverty, increasing wealth and income inequality, and removing all safety nets over time and the infrastructure needed to be a functioning member of society, who is healthy, secure and stable, their will be political and economic disruption. And they want to neuter that by denying that the problems, deflecting from who's benefitting from these failures, and divesting the public ability to protest against that. Sooner or later, people will figure this out, and they'll realise that all that's on offer is hard or soft technocracy. They want you to believe that There Is No Alternstive, when there are. We can do things differently if we we want to.

  21. Well, being "sick of the political elite" is a self-inflicted wound to a large extent. When these "sickc people were voting them in, why didn't they get sick then? Perhaps they thought the cruelty their chosen representatives often indulged in wouldn't be applied to them? Weii, obviously not as now they're following a real grifter who convinced them to vote for Brexit. I say, that instead of cursing the darkness light a candle and look in the mirror. And think carefully what they can do to improve thing because voting for NF isn't one of those things. And because of who and what this country has voted for over nearly 5 decades, there is no quick fix. It's time for the Sick to be honest and question their role in laying out the carpet for the political elite they keep turning to. And BTW, NF is the political elite, and those backing Reform think they are essentially special too.

  22. You are being either disengenuous or unable to understand irony. The interviewee openly stated his remain t-shirt is at the bottom of his drawers, because it's going to take time to get to that point. Perhaps English isn't your first language, and idioms trip you up?

  23. Lol. U think you're right. He should start listening to other voices than the client media. He should ignore them, and do what is necessary to start turning things around. Copying the Tories is a mistake. There are ways to remove their stranglehold, but he's got to be ruthless, and get used to being criticised. And get ready to fight his corner. He needs to adapt to the fact that they won't applaud what he does. So it doesn't matter what they thing. He just needs to stop playing their game, and get on with thinking outside the box they want to trap him in.

  24. Read "Words of Change: the rhetoric of Commonwealth, Common Market, and Cold War, 1961-3" by Richard Toye. And Walking a Fine Line: Britain, the Commonwealth, and European Integration, 1945-1955 by Cameron A. Dunbar. Google these. They will explain much of what you're seeking to understand.

  25. But can we trust you? How do we know we can trust you?

  26. You don't understand UK planning laws and how developers actually build developments do you?

  28. Yes, he can live in Eire, but would not have the right to live in the rest of the EU.

  29. Actually, no. They pay no tariffs at all. What the problem is our self-inflicted mountain of red tape which is slowly but surely putting off EU businesses from buying from us. We did that to ourselves, under the WTO rules that Vote Leave said we should accept under a complete hard Brexit. Ironic isn't it?

  31. The commentator from the Daily Wail is as credible as Truss, and the newspaper often targets "The Establishment" despite being part of it. The paper supports the status quo to gain influence and has a history of backing extreme views. Populism represents a sceptical faction of the establishment trying to appeal to a disgruntled electorate, contributing to the dysfunction in our politics and lacking a long-term vision for the UK economy. The establishment's support for flawed economic assumptions and prioritization of financial gain has led to ongoing economic challenges in the UK. We need to be vigilant and identify individuals and groups pursuing their self-interest under the guise of public service. The path out of this predicament won't be easy, regardless of who leads us.

  32. Cameron overegged the pudding for headlines. And Teresa May and he were complicit about being dishonest about Free Movement and our contributions. So of course, Cameron came back empty handed, because he went there empty headed.

  33. There was a House of Commons Library Research Briefing published 0n the 23rd July 2024 entitled "Brexit: the financial settlement – a summary". This documents cites a total cost of £30.2 billion pounds agreed to be paid by the UK over the period 2020 to 2065. The idea that we will still be paying for Brexit 59 years after the Referendum is horrifying. Nobody voted for being poorer for nearly 60 years. And Starmer being unwilling to at least start rebuilding our economic relationship with the EU is devastatingly misguided. Yes, we have a lot of work to do to rebuild their trust, but we cannot economically ignore the damage for another 60 years.

  34. So the ongoing consequential economic costs to business and the citizens this country are to be ignored for the next 60 years?

  35. And who are you? Nobody. You can only speak your own opinion. And opinions are like the snout on a pig - every pigs got one. What goes in and what comes out may or may not be real, but beyond that who cares? Starmer doesn't, as he's not coming to see you, is he?

  36. If that's the answer you put on the Test, you'll be marked down for a wrong answer. So either you just swung your exam and didn't revise, or you're a bot who hasn't been briefed properly. It's ahistorical as well as inaccurate.

  37. No he didn't actually. He has 7 other children plus his youngest to support, that's why he was always pan handling millionaires for money and freebies. And he certainly didn't drop over £100,000 to turn his quarters in No 10 into something that looks like a tacky Restaurant from the 1970s.

  38. You can buy non-conflict diamonds now that are registered assets. Do try to keep up.

  39. Then you don't know a lot of people. Perhaps try again. Say for instance the UK chemical Industry spent £1.5 bn on trying to deal with Brexit. Or the more typical SMEs who traded with Europe, and lost those exports as their customers didn't want to pay the extra cost involved after Brexit. Or the businesses that closed operations here and moved to the EU. UK banks cut a loof their expenses, e.g. HBSC shut down their Canary Wharf HQ, along with a lot of the high end accounting firms like PriceWaterhouseCooper (PWC) all moved out of London to Birmingham, whilst they shut down more branches. So, you see, the cost of Brexit is tangibly real. One of my suppliers closed down their business, because they couldn't afford to deal with the red tape. And those costs have made the price of materials and tools go up significantly. Even stuff from China jumped up in price, partly because if the 13% fall in Sterling's value, but also increased friction trading with the UK. So, you don't know everything what's going on. You can't. You're in Durham, and that's not the whole of the UK. It's not even that big a city.

  40. How dishonest of you. O'Brien even mentions the critique that Starmer might be lying. You didn't watch the video, did you? Oops! Pink slip for you at the bot farm.
