  1. From the bit I read I think it’s about making councils consult residents, rather than simply do what they want or will be cheaper in the long term.
  2. Reaction to Sheffield, I guess.
  3. Shame Vespasian is not on his lead. Where is his owner?
  4. Vespasian, you really are a nasty piece of work, you just get pleasure from arguing to no purpose. You are like a 2 year old craving attention. Shame on you.
  5. If I'm driving down the road, well under the speed limit and from behind a tree a child jumps out. Is it my fault if I hit them? After all the child "presents no danger" to my car? ???
  6. Oxymoron. .Sorry
  7. How long before we have "dog cam's" fitted to our pets simply for their own defence?
  8. We have better things to do, "battle of wits, unarmed man" etc.
  9. This was a "notice" not an "application" Requirement to inform TO of date of works, so they attend or meet beforehand is not unusual IME for a TPO app, but generally if you know the TO they wave it, IME.
  10. If a tree is worthy of TPO, but the work you are doing is acceptable, then no TPO is needed, so they do need a pretty accurate spec of the intended work.
  11. Mark, I have just reread this thread, I cannot find one incident of an "Insult" one word or otherwise? Please show me where I've missed them? I think people have pointed out what they and I see as less than ideal working practice, in a pretty moderate and reasoned manner. Clearly your hope was that we would all watch your video and our jaws would drop in awe at the skill exhibited. I'm sorry this did not happen and do understand your sadness.
  12. Despite what most remoaners claim, we are leaders in workers rights and protection, so would expect much change.
  13. What reputation? ?? No one knows who you are or what you've done, you could be an 8 year old girl with an iPhone for all we know.
  14. Ok so you say Corbyn is being smeared and miss represented, fine. Lets as I believe they say in football "play the ball, not the man" Look at Labours policies and aims. You really think our country would prosper with them in power? IMO, its only short sighted public sector workers, those on benefits and the ideologically deluded who vote Labour.
  15. You appear to have missed my point. I have no interest in helping big business deskill all trades and pay peanuts to their staff, as they can easily be replaced by a never ending stream of cheap labour. I'm all for skilled men earning a decent crust and supporting their families.
  16. So you really think that a native would not step up and do the task, maybe for a little more pay?
  17. If you mean am I in favour of immigration? Not so much. What if when our country, way back when before it had developed, had lost all its best, go getting people to some other more advanced nation? Would we still be living in caves? have overthrown the tyranny our ancestors lived under? Better people stay put and improve their own countries, maybe with help from other more advanced nations.
  18. Say what now????
  19. OK, should have said "some of the people" I feel bad for the homeless.
  20. I believe it is. There is only ever a finite amount of anything (except maybe love ?) the more of us there are the harder it is to get stuff. People go on about immigrants increasing GDP, sure but a bigger pie is no good if you get a smaller piece of said pie. Business wants as much cheap labour as they can get, landlords don't care if people live 20 to a house if it lines their pocket.
