How blind can you be? They are only clamouring for trade links so they can sell to us at far lower prices than we can manage.
Do you really believe that?
Well I, m in good company in here then. Just off for a G and T... Evening trip on yacht with Indian delegates.. Then a champagne reception in New harbour facilities..
With any luck some of them will actually not just repeat nonsense
See what I mean?
Worse odds on that than winning the lottery jackpot.
Quite so, there is no such thing as a unique idea , there will always be others too who are similarly afflicted, after all even crazy ideas have to come from somewhere,as original thinkers are thin on the ground.
Which means of course that you are going to have to spend resources educating your own,and that includes the expensive activities like engineering,science, nursing . Teaching engineering apprentices properly is not a cheap activity .
Zathlan, just a point to ponder, you can live the good life there as a tourist because your lifestyle is bankrolled by a wealthy country. And your pensions or charter fees whatever are some multiple of what these people live on. The only time I had concerns for my personal safety ,and they were not excessive ,as I am a glass half full person, was when I was in Siagon and realised that I was worth killing for the contents of my wallet.
OK. Serious question. Do you really believe there are 'a lot' of people 'here' who can't afford wine? I'm not sure by 'here' if you mean this list or the UK so if you could clarify that. And I'm not sure what you think you need to pay for a half-decent bottle of wine (but I never spend more than £5.50). But really. Seriously. Do you really think 'a lot' of people can't afford that?
a lot seem to be overfed, but undernourished. In many cases main diet seems to consist of takeaways, mcdonalds etc. Makes me smile a bit when people say they cannot afford to eat healthily. A pound of mince for £3 and a few other cheap ingredients will feed 6/8 people. Problem is people have lost the ability to cook
did you watch 'food and drink' on BBC2 today?
I think all genuine peaceful demonstrations get hijacked by extreme factions both left and rightAll French military vehicles have the EU flag on them - the army is proud to be in the EU.
In other news Molotov cocktails, baseball bats, slingshots and other various clubs, knives and iron bars are considered to be weapons. Did you see on TV the person with the battery powered angle grinder attacking ATMs?
The police are defending people and property from casseurs (the ones wearing the masks), most of whom have nothing to do with the protest but who are just out for a bit of wanton destruction and ultra violence. Anyone can wear a high-vis vest.
A word of advise: people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Here's a sample of the Radio 4 programs on Brexit that I mentioned Tom, just listened to on the i-player:
Something the food banks make worse since of necessity they are supplying canned and packeted processed foods and not fresh ingredients.
the 'yellow vests' get support from all sorts of interest groups, left, right, centre, old, young, anarchists, marxists, football hooligans etc.
More nonsense, Raleigh manufacturing like our whole bicycle industry died long before we joined the EU. I know because I was in the trade when it was first happening and for obvious reasons it was the first of our major industries to fail.
