  8. There surely can't be any migrant crisis, we took control of our borders with Brexit.
  9. Send them to Rwanda.
  10. Freedom of movement works both ways. I had the time of my life climbing trees in Munich, it was as easy as getting on a plane, starting a job, and staying as long as I wanted. I think that 'The Youth' of today have been unjustifiably robbed of that. I also think that without freedom of movement there isn't a cat in hells chance that the gaping hole in staffing levels within social care and the NHS will be filled anytime soon. Competent people in any role take some time to train.
  11. Cleethorpes is the mobility scooter capital of Britain and was long before COVID. Options: Bring back freedom of movement with EU as BREXIT isn't looking too pretty right now for our little Island. Life in jail for anyone on the dole for longer than 28 days. Shoot the disabled and the mentally unwell on sight.

  20. A rowan of sorts might fit bill for a native tree: Is a Rowan Tree Right for My Garden? WWW.ROOTSPLANTS.CO.UK Rowan trees are easy to grow, naturally compact and hardy throughout the coldest winters. Our growers recommend the best for each situation. Liqudambar do look the part in autumn, another non-native you might consider is an amelanchier of sorts, I quite like this one : https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/103428/amelanchier-grandiflora-autumn-brilliance/details
  21. In the interim: " Why should we pay cash everywhere with banknotes instead of a card ? - I have a Β£50 banknote in my pocket. Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the note to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the note to pay the barber. The barber will then use the note to pay for shopping. After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a Β£50 value, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made. BUT IF I go to a restaurant and pay digitally via Card, - the bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around Β£1.50 ( and so will be the fee of Β£1.50 for each further payment transaction ) -for the owner re laundry or - payments of the owner of the laundry shop, - or payments of the barber etc..... Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial Β£50 will exist at only Β£5, and the remaining Β£45 has become the property of the bank … thanks to all of the digital transactions and fees!"
  22. "Just a heads up that whether next week or possibly later this year, you'll read about bitcoin hitting all time highs again, after - as usual - manipulative rags lacking journalistic integrity like the Guardian telling you its dead or it's all scam for the past couple of years (before all sorts people who know literally nothing about the underlying technology parrot it on social media). What they never report is that blockchain technology has the power to redistribute wealth and eliminate almost all corruption from politics, not in a delusional utopian everyone-gets-an-equal-amount-regardless-of-work-done kind of way though, but by removing the middlemen who suck value out of transaction between creator and user, buyer and seller etc. If the UK or any other government's public money was stored on a blockchain, it could literally be coded to ensure that a democratically agreed % of taxpayers money is automatically sent to the national health service, or to pensions or whatever a society wants it to fund, and there wouldn't be anything corrupt politicians could do about it. If they did try to somehow send some of that money to their cronies, it would all be visible to anyone on the blockchain, and every registered voter could in theory be asked to vote whether to cancel such a transaction and return it to the public purse, and then it would be done, automatically, without any corrupt human hands siphoning the money into their own wallets. And that's why they keep reporting tired tropes like "crypto is a scam" or "bitcoin causes climate change" both of which are missing about 99% of the necessary context to be sure such statements have any merit (they don't)."
  23. UK economy fell into recession at the end of 2023 WWW.BBC.CO.UK The economy shrank by 0.3% between October and December, in a sharper fall than expected.
