I don't understand your response to Fingers's question. He asked why the EU has not reciprocated the assurances that the UK Government has given to EU citizens from outside the UK currently living here? It seems like quite a reasonable question to me.

I still find his speaking strangely captivating and I think he has a real talent for detecting and tapping into the mood of the nation. He is popular and when you consider the bland, PR groomed talentless underachievers in parliament, you can begin to see why. You are right, it is a simple...

I enjoy listening to Farage. I find him interesting.

That is interesting. Do you have any data which tells us the percentage of total U.K. business carried out by that 9% of businesses? For example, if that same 9% of British businesses carry out 90% of British business, then it is a highly significant 9%.

Dear 50Hertz, It’s a fact. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party have more staff on the ground than we do. They’ve recruited over 70 full-time campaigners – to help them win the local elections in May. And with a majority of their campaigners based outside London, it’s clear what Labour are doing...

I will do thanks. I’m sure that we all have thoughts along those lines, I know that I do.

My wife does a few hours a week voluntary work visiting and helping to support people with dementia where she can. I’ve never experienced a family member having dementia, but from what my wife tells me, I know it can be difficult. You can be an infuriating old git on here, but I bet you take...

Can’t argue with that.

That’s fair enough. I don’t disapprove of pensions, I love them, I started a company one at the age of 16, my friends thought I was crazy. That pension is paying a government backed index linked final salary now and it’s ace. What does puzzle me is when you are so heavily critical of people...

Oh dear, there might be a few tears and cheap cars up for sale. This could be an opportunity replace my 17 year old Subaru Forester dog taxi.

Now what have you been reading? Calm down & step back, this isn’t doing you any good.

And where does your pension come from? Does it come from a portfolio of investments or have you an old mattress stuffed with “deep sea divers?”

Here’s the clue, “In the Guardian”. That newspaper is like an anti-venom to the daily mail, both being toxic and dangerous if consumed on their own. As I’ve said before though, I personally think a hard no deal Brexit, which many seem to want, risks jobs.

Oh dear. That’s probably not far off reality and reflects my thoughts. I considered Corbyn to be a fairly principled and honest man about 18 months ago. I didn’t agree with much of what he said, but I admired him for sticking by his principles in the face of bullying by the likes of the Daily...

Yes, I’m sure it was called Stoozing, dead easy to do and virtually no risk involved. Borrow at 0% and invest the money at 5 to 6%. It sounds crazy when you stop and think about it. People sometimes forget the risks involved with investments. You could have lost everything, but fortunately it...

I’m not sure what he was getting at. I think it was because I said hundreds of pounds of free money for about two hours work. Of course if I had to do work to get the money, it couldn’t have been free. I suppose it would have been more accurate to say .......... sorry, I’ve lost the will to live.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean AK.

I had an Egg money card, I can’t remember the exact name, but it allowed you to turn the upper limit on any interest free credit card into cash. I had several interest free cards from several providers, turned the maximum credit limit on each into cash using the Egg card, and then like you, put...

It was a very stealthy method of emptying the bank accounts of those who had saved a bit. I think they hoped that no one would notice. I noticed.

Couldn’t agree more.
