Oh - I have worked Xmas day and Boxing day etc too. Unlike most on here. Just proves the English are a work shy. No wonder ill educated foreigners who can't speak English can take their jobs, No not only that he was FREELANCE, which means he doesn't have to work any days but he had the decencey to ask so they could find someone else. ****ing idiot, there were already foreigners working there what this sort of company does is put them against each other, they'll always be peole willing to work for cheap some illegally you do know that. Would you accept a 25% drop in pay too. He'd collapsed of exhastion a couple of days before. |

What has surprised me, is who voted which way. I have a pretty clear idea of what goes on in various boroughs, and the huge surprise for me was teh way the abandoned white working class came out and totally shafted corbyn. Who voted in? Northern Ireland, a massive recipient of someone else's money Scotland, a massive recipient of someone else's money All the university towns, massive recipients of someone else money Londonistan, including Islington The well heeled southern bits who are all right, Jack. It's noticeable that in the Tory heartlands down south, the only consistent Remainers was a slew of Thames Valley districts, the bit of the UK (outside London) where all the well paid jobs are. I was going to call them the "I'm all right Jack" brigade, but I see you've done that already. The rest of us voted Leave. (FTAOD, I am "all right" too, I just think more about the welfare of others than some of my clan.) Exactly. Its the tradesmen who are happy, nit the stockbroker belt. Turnout on some council estates said to be 80+ %, which is almost unheard of in UK political history. Labour and their europhiles have been thrown down the well. Yebbut they STILL don't understand this. |

Although quite you should chose to jump to the defence of Turnip, quite possibly one of the most offensive posters on this NewsGroup, is anybody's guess. Unless of course you're in possession of privileged information concerning the state of Turnip's Mental Health, denied to anyone else. Which would certainly explain a few things. Splendid - keep the ad-homs coming. As for me, quite sane thank you I didn't ask about you. What makes you think I did ? Your being in possession of information concerning Turnip's Mental Health has no bearing on your own mental health. Although it might imply your being in a position of resposibility of some kind. Being in charge of Turnip's ward, releasing him from his strait jacket every morning, or whatever. michael adams ... No still not up to Championship insult standard. Must do better. I am insulted.

Do you not find it interesting that the ones you claimed were most affected by immigrants and migrants in Birmingham were evenly split? The ones in London voted to stay. Now we will see just how bad losers the elite are going to be. Starting with a run on the pound and the FTSE. We have to be punished. And they will. It is war. Don't be stupid, its capitalism and its what you asked for, or do you not remember saying we would have a drop in the pound so we could export more? The drop in the pound *is* good news. Many countries in the world would love to be able to do the same to their currency. It does open up many trading opportunities which is what we need to close the trade gap. lovely thought, but bear in mind that everything we import will cost more Not everything. Some things that are imported from outside the EU would be cheaper because there would be no EU duty to be paid on it. The doom mongers will be shown to be totally wrong. |
