Poor people have to steal to eat,Junkies for their habit.. I think the powers at be,would rather the retailers take the hit than the desperate resort to muggings and more serious crime. Way back in the day my GF at the time was a store manager for Clares Acessories in Brixton. They never bothered opening up again after the second time it was looted in a Riot.They lost to much stock prior by way of "leakage".

It might be so deep they need special dive gear? I am no Yachtie but it capsizing with no sail up must have taken some force? Then it sank without the keel righting ot? Must have been a hugely long mast?

She looks like the kind of woman who would post you an envelope containing four conifer droplets she found in her rosebed after you trimmed her 90 foot hedge. Included in the envelope is a bill for the stamp and envelope.

You sound like quite an expert. What saw do you recommend for phat trunks?

To not use 80 and 100% Horse drawn transport?

I fear the UK has only seen the start of exactly that.

He is not doing his Job. He is putting the population of the UK in peril,ultimately everyone including those refugees with legitimate claims. How would you deal with people constantly entering your house uninvited and illegally if the authorities were disinterested and you couldn't move?

£10 on a good day. Every second cast iron cooking object in Sweden is made by Husky. They are everywhere. I bought one of those along with two big cast iron pots one of which was enamel with a lid for £15 in Stockholm last month.

OK Most of the asylum seekers leave Norway because it's cold, boring and the cigarettes are very expensive. Instead they go to Sweden because it's easier. Happy to post some links if anyone is interested?

You have lost me. I was attempting to separate the various decades or relative time periods ie. 1986-2000/ 2000 to 2011/ 2011 to 2024 and question whether more stringent immigration requirements resulted in better productivity amongst immigrants. As you know immigration takes various forms so without knowing exactly on what grounds your study based the term " immigration " it's impossible to form a picture but let's try anyhow. I venture that the study focused on immigration for work purposes,by which the immigrant would have needed a job offer. That way they would have been contributing from day one,they might have gone on to start their own firm,hired more immigrants and the stats begin to flourish. Conversely if we focused on family immigration then there might well be a high number of non contributors as some ethnicities sponsor family members solely as live in child carers and unpaid cleaners. Stats can be used in many misleading forms.

Not during the time period of that article you posted J. The stats quoted are almost 14 years old and now immigrants come from largely a very different background. Imagine quoting stats from 14 years before the time frame of the article.Say 1986 to 2000 when England was actually quite difficult to immigrate to.That snapshot I would expect would have exponentially higher levels of productivity and integration than let's say 2010 to 2024. A better picture IMHO would be a 40 year study which would better represent the level of productivity over an adult immigrants entire working life

2000 to 2010 would have been largely Eastern European by origin surely? Those men and woman would have grown up during communism or at it's very twilight and flourished when they immigrated to a free market. People from the Baltic states integrate very,very well over here at least. The people from Africa and the ME do not.

Nothing apart from them being pointless meddling walty tw-ats. Have to admit though,they did a good job clearing that bridge railing of grass and sticks that one time. How are they doing in Ukraine?

Close can he get to the Rats? A pair of cats might be a better solution honestly.

People have had enough of almost 30 years of anyone entering Britain and taking the pizz. Now there is a backlash and I am surprised it's taken this long frankly. Next thing the new govt will increase wages for Police to help keep them onside is my prediction.
