Great sense of humour there, faced with information you don't like , you put a colander on your head?
please report back after Brexit whether it worked or not.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
please report back after Brexit whether it worked or not.
Bit of a gap don't you think? Eleven Months? have you wondered why?
FFS let it go..I live across the road from a Morrisons and it has been advertised locally for years.. They obviously tried it in Yorkshire before running it out for the rest of the country. (They are a Yorkshire based company)
To be honest I think they were surprised by the success of it.
I’m sorry OG, but that is wrong. Unlike you, I am not relying on a third party commentator. This is something I have seen first hand and studied in a professional capacity. I would have probably lost my job if I had spoken about it whilst working, that’s how much this is being covered up. I don’t care whether you believe me or not, it makes no difference. There are large areas of Birmingham, including schools, which are now outside of the control of the U.K. authorities. Theses places are lawless with child abuse, FGM, drugs, radicalisation and god knows what else taking place. I don’t give a stuff anymore, the next generations can suffer for our generation’s denial and failure to act.

That job was not glamorous, well paid or exciting. I wish I could forget what I now know. I am not going to say what the job was, it makes no difference. I only worked on a 24 month contract anyway.
Utter rubbish. The only thing that's out of control is the scale of the exaggeration about the issue. Just like the January newspapers that tried to say London is worse than New York on the basis of a week's figure. Doesn't seem like keeping a lid on it by under reporting. In truth the reporting level is higher than it's ever been previously, with every minor knife use included.
In London stabbing deaths of 12 so far this year are running at a rate of some 71 per annum. There is nothing unusual about that rate for a large city with a very mixed resident population of 8.5 millions which grows to 22 millions each year with tourism and others entering. Try to find me another world city of similar size with a lower rate of violent killings.
New York is far worse in fact with an overall murder rate of double London's, like huge numbers of cities worldwide.
Londons average annual murder rate in the 28 years from 1990 and 2018 inclusive is 173. Overall the rate has been falling from 184 in 1990 to 132 last year, a 28% reduction. The worst year in that period was 15 years ago, barely mentioned at the time! Truly we live in the age of gross exaggeration.
See the Homicide chart on this page for the detail.
P.S. I do have an inkling of how bad many parts of Birmingham are, having been a regular there in some earlier decades and watching the scale of changes.

I do live here, was born here and lived here most of my life so have a far closer knowledge than you. So close in fact that three people I've known well, one of them a close friend, have been murdered in London, two by stabbing, one by shooting. That was back in the 1970s and '80s. And the peak of murders in my local borough was shortly after the millennium.
It's quietened down considerably these days as the figures show, most of the murder perpetrators and victims being part of a sub-culture having no effect on almost all Londoners.
Here it's very different from what you've seen in Birmingham. I think the reason is that we have such an evenly balanced mix of peoples and cultures covering the whole world. As you know well that's not true of parts of Birmingham, which have largely divided into two populations.

I occasionally visit shard end, kingstanding and have aquintances there. What you say is not true. With all due respect, what I find most offensive is the innuendo. If you have an issue with immigration, or other ethnicity, say it openly. As long as you bear in mind the most developed, high earning part of the uk(London) happen to be also the most cosmopolitan with the highest ratio of immigrants. Does that tell you anything?
I didn’t mention ethnicity or immigration. It’s interesting that you introduce it.
On the internet you can be anything you want to profess to be, frankly I don't believe a word of it, the evidence is against it being true.
Frankly the entire country including Parliament is outside the control of the UK authorities and has been for years, and after any shade of Brexit that will become obvious to all.
On this matter, yes, they did launch wonky veg quite a while ago, and I have occasionally bought some. And yes, I have seen some promotion but cannot remember when.
The combination of erratic availability and them being over-priced (in my opinion) has meant that I do not seek them out.
However, I do agree that their recent promotion is likely a preparation for brexit.

Theresa May is thick.....she is planning to give a bribe of £1.6bn to towns that voted leave and voted labour,to put pressure on such labour MP’s to vote for her deal,obviously a bribe. But what will labour MP’s in deprived towns that voted Remain think of that,she could lose more than she gains.

As I posted a day or two back May's Brexit fallout bonus for my home town worked out at 18p per person over two years - just enough to buy a turnip...
Getting things right has never been one of her strong points.
perhaps not as much intelligent as some, but already more than most.
