  2. THE MONEY IS GOING TO A PRIVATE COMPANY say no more... Why did I ever think, for one second, it would be going anywhere else than a private company??? And we ALL know 100% for sure - a Tory donating company.

  3. @channeleightythree083 - It is the children that I feel most sorry for regarding Brexit and the Tory government. I live in Bulgaria now, and seeing how they treat children here - its SHOCKING how bad the UK are. Mothers get 2 YEARS paid leave if they have a baby. If your child is under school age they deliver hot food to your door 6 days a week for a tiny about £. Every apartment block has its own playground. The schools are distributed so they are no more than 1000m from your home. There is 1 child psychologist per 300 children at a school. They even learn to DRIVE at school, the playgrounds have roads painted on them and they have little electric cars that they learn all the rules of the road from 5 years old. They learn English and one other language from 5 - cos its a GLOBALISED WORLD. University can be paid for with a part-time job in a shop on an evening. It is normal here for people to have 2, 3 even 4 different degrees. And THIS is all in the POOREST country in the EU.

  5.  @user-xu2pi6vx7o  - I KNOW, its great. Actually, all joking aside. A lot of this is a hang over from the "bad" old communist days. Turns out, when you go live in an ex communist country and talk to people, communism was nothing like we were told with the propaganda in the west. A small example. My city is 40% green space - cos that's the regulation to make it nice to live in. There are tens of thousands of trees - and most are fruit trees. Why? cos fruit trees provide FREE FRUIT for people. In my small city - and this is the irony of it - it works out to £50 per person per year in free fruit. OR £50 million for the city. Yeah, communism also had it severe downsides as well. But a recent survey showed 45% of Bulgarians would like to go back to communism - so like anything [except Brexit it seems] its a mixed bag of good and bad. But its strange to live in a city designed for the BENEFIT of the PEOPLE and not the profits of the developers.

  7.  @ab-ym3bf  - EXACTLY. £50m million in FREE FRUIT as the communists see it. £50 Million in LOST economic activity as the capitalist see it... QUOTE "I see how more pleasant society as a whole is when it is not 100% focused on making money" - I could not agree more.

  8.  @peterebel7899  - Bulgaria is a weird place. The top ten most intelligent people I have ever met were defiantly in Bulgaria. The only people I have ever met with 4 or 5 university degrees are Bulgarian. My neighbour is a taxi driver - he speaks 5 languages. But we still have horses and carts on the roads. Women sell unpasteurized milk and cheese from their own goats on the street outside my apartment. Its a really unusual country.

  9.  @sigiriya5149  - I read that it had been increased to €59 Billion due to the covid pandemic setting the economy back very badly... I don't kn ow if that is true or not. But I can say the roads were dirt 12 years ago when I arrived - they are now brand new 2 lane highways. The investment in infrastructure and public transport etc has been ASTONISHING. I gave away my car last month as I had not used it in 3 years, the tires were flat as was the battery - the whole city has been re-engineered for busses, bikes and scooters.

  10.  @sigiriya5149  - The wealthiest person in our apartment block, she has a new Range Rover - she still gets the bus most days, that's how good the service is.

  11.  @horacerumpole9263  - Yeah thats the attitude that makes the UK such a horrible place to live in and why I no longer live there. Here in Bulgaria children are SOCIETIES responsibility. I don't have children, but they contribute to my life here and I contribute to there's both directly and through taxes.

  12.  @royfearn4345  - this is the irony. That if Brexit were a well worked out move away from Globalization to UK based supply for the things the UK needs, to UK centred holidays, to a more sustainable way of living over say a 15 year period. I would be 100% IN FAVOUR Globalization SUKS, It is destroying the planet and the quality of life of working people. But self inflicted economic destruction is NOT a solution...

  13.  @sigiriya5149  - You cant recognise the place from 12 years ago... In some ways I miss it, but I have the luxury of a small passive income from the books I have written. So I'm not dependent on the local economy. Being misty eyed for the old times is a bit of a luxury...

  14.  @horacerumpole9263  - I know you do. That is why I don't live in the UK any longer. It's full of truly vile people like you.
