Ahh, Boris. the enemy within has gone. Remember when Mr Biden’s predecessor Donald Trump had previously quit the agreement. Boris started by asking German Chancellor Angela Merkel to switch off her mic when she accidentally talked over his initial greeting. He joked: “Can you hear us Angela? I think you need to mute!”

Andrew, learned from Mark Thatcher how to sell arms. Wicked men. “We are concerned that Prince Andrew is used to sell arms, and where you sell arms it is likely to be to despotic regimes. He is the cheerleader in chief for the arms industry, shaking hands and paving the way for the salesmen.”

Supermarkets may be convenient, but they just aren’t the best place to shop for meat. And they may not be the best place to purchase seafood, either. Buy it from a reputable fishmonger if possible. If you don’t live near a fishmonger, however, the supermarket seafood is probably safe.11 Reasons ... Read more
Yeah, fishmongers and butchers deserve a tax break – BUT ONLY IF THEIR SOURCES ARE SUSTAINABLE. We also need more people to shop local wherever they live, Its a growing problem in south west England.

Yeah, its a scam that channels more of the welfare budget to the rich – and at the same time demonising those who can’t find work.
” At over £25 billion it is one of the biggest and fastest-growing parts of the welfare bill. That is a huge sum of money: more than we spend on the police, roads and buying military equipment combined. “
Chief whips are the real chaos merchants. Quote from a former tory chief bully boy:
“Problems involving members “might be debt, or it might be a scandal involving small boys”.
“They would come and ask if we could help,” Fortescue said. “And if we could we did, and we would do everything we could, because we could store up brownie points.
“That’s one of the reasons we would get a chap out of trouble – because he’d then be ours forever-more.”

The problem with the Labour Party opposing Brexit is that it is divided, with some members supporting leaving the EU.
Brexit is a huge mistake that will have far-reaching consequences in years to come. We should have another referendum to cancel leaving the EU!
Many people could not comprehend the fallout that would follow after Brexit. And it will continue to get worse in coming years.
Let’s face it! Many pro-Brexit voters still have no idea what they voted for.
