There’s a lot of needless rowing going on here. We’re all in the timber game, like it or not, and we pretty much all sing from the same hymn sheet.   J has touched a nerve with me about

My wife is a social worker and she has 30 cases when she should only have 12. She works in child services as well. Its easy to blame social workers but they are short staffed and underfunded.

Can you post the link to the original article rather than a screenshot from someone. It just lets us read the original and get the context of why we are all morons. Without that it just looks like the comment is taking about 30 words out of an article (maybe 2000 words?) to push a view point that is not necessarily the conclusion of the original article. For example does it specify what 'lower cognitive abilities' actually means. I'd maybe suggest that most of us can understand the complexities of any vaccination decision if we are given, or can access, or take the time to read suitable information to make a decision.

Sorry, just a screenshot from a different site of a random snap from yet another site, the source has by this point been long forgotten. But this is the Internet, and it's all made up anyway. 

 

I just post it here because it made me chuckle, without further question or comment.

 

This bit, however...

Some of you, maybe. Not most of you. Most of you can barely even read.

Why is it a surprise when the tool used to hammer things flat is a sledgehammer called interest rate hikes. Throw in record taxes and red tape etc etc 

Id be curious to know how much more the government is taking since the demise of red diesel, the amount of fully taxed white now being used on sites and in plant and machinery must be a monster money spinner.

Thought we were cutting red tape since Brexit?

 

I'll do the sums again sometime but I think over the last 20 years the average interest was about 3 1/2% (and about 6% over the last 40 years if you want to go right back), perhaps we have just got complacent in the last 10? I reckon many people will be worried now because they forgot that interest rates can (and will) go up - business and mortgages alike.

And also since fuel prices sky-rocketed - the tax take obviously goes up as the price at the pump rises!

Labour is ready to open the door to the EU's asylum seekers in exchange for a new borders deal with Brussels

WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK
Sir Keir Starmer will launch his party's immigration plan today with a pledge to 'smash' the criminal...

 

 

I might paraphrase this "Labour has worked out that it isn't those pesky Belgians that we don't like, citizens of the EU are actually OK"
