  1. We both know it's not rocket science, he even stood there with a placard for the hard of thinking. Mostly reciprocal tariffs, then the MSM are decrying fair trade. Erm, you might find these are now equal terms and now the consumer decides and buys local 1st. You're average person has no clue about the complexity of the Taric lists for imports.
  2. Sussh, they have a coal man and no fire and the milkman is always round when he's out.
  3. So at £35, that's £26 profit after buying the bag and delivery as collection means business rates.
  4. Plus these Argos/Screwfix/Toolstation etc saws are also used mostly without any PPE. So when you think about it the low numbers of accidents are amazing, granted they probably get just a few hours a year usage at most.
  5. I'd probably feel guilty selling such a small volume, and how much are they selling for on Facebook ?.
  6. Do you mean barrow bag ?.
  7. Was it just the bearings you replaced or did you change 2&3/6&7. Plus make sure it's well greased, as per above ensure the 4 washer is in the correct place as when you tighten the blade it pulls everything downwards seizing it against the housing cover. Playing devil's advocate I'd also ask if the original bearings just seized or grenaded as that may have damaged the teeth on the gear wheel and head as they may operate but under load they have to mesh perfectly.
  8. Yet more vague waffle, saying very little of actual clarity, conviction or even personal fact. My home is this little island that's been pretty peaceful for a good few hundred years, where the police operate by consent. Charity does begin at home, if people wish to donate to charitable causes that's fine, but aid should only be for disaster relief maybe upto a year after that you're on your own. A governments duty is to its citizens 1st, not some African country too interested in the next government motorcade when they are more than capable of feeding a nation as your soft power has achieved absolutely nothing. Soft power & democracy in these places just created over reliance of daddies cheque book, corruption and a hatred of the west, so in the words of Eric cartman "screw you guys I'm going home"
  9. I'd trust Bubba any day of the week over Ben & Jerry.
  10. Soft power, are you having a laugh. If the MSM are to be believed the USA and UK are hated, so value for money it's obviously not getting ANYTHING positive is it so why bother!
  11. There's a simple version, charity starts at home!. Charity dogooding has become big business and walnut panelled boardrooms, millipedes brother for example. A return to the old ways of disaster relief is fine, but everything else is optional if it's from donations. America and the UK are very similar, we've been at peace for about 100+ years, the Europeans haven't and it's a lesson they will never learn.
  12. Ah, the hippy idealists of a magical money tree where Americans are expected to cascade their hard earned money to every cause and country around the world. How many hundred million was it to Nigeria before they stopped the USAID. Oh we're starving well start growing food and less baby making instead of replying on charity and that tone deaf Irish muppet that needs his Sir removing.
  13. Fletcher Stewart, who are also Stein
  14. Whilst I've said as much already, I don't know if staffers are banned from voting or if it was one of those places the UK labour party helped to staff so it might have hindered. What you limey's trying to do yadah yadah, merica, tipping tea into the harbour, yeehaw etc. But the total votes was 500 ish, now if that was 1k+ I might be a bit more sceptical. As unsurprisingly the data didn't say if there was a 3rd party, spoilt votes or even refusing to vote, or even how big the population is to get such a pathetic turnout.
  15. And I'm sure your the fountain of all internet sh1t, like a poo flavoured chocolate fountain of knowledge then. Off you pop to Google and your daily dose of MSM approved Kamala worship.
  16. There is your problem, you've fallen into the lifelong voter trap they rely upon. The UK system, excluding labour as they have a different conference structure. You elect the party and they choose the leader, hence why they can be ousted and replaced. The Americans have several layers, hence those voter figures. And regardless of the media, Americans didn't like Kamala but liked the party. Whilst you could argue there should have been a few of the 500 votes from say the senators staff, I don't know if they're barred.
  17. No, it just shows like every other election. They vote for the leader they like, but locally the person they trust. As per any local elections here, you vote for the councillor not the useless party they are from. No fraud just reality of they didn't like Kamala.
  18. Personally I think the signal thing might be an attempt at disinformation, it's got everyone talking and spending on defense. Tariffs are much of a muchness in the longer term, they're there to make a level playing field, unless you're china subsidising every industry to demolish ours. Let them sell whatever they wish, it's down to the consumer what they actually buy. Sell your hummer, if nobody buys it then it's not our problem if the price is attractive. I'm still wondering why the coke head went off to south Africa, even tho it was his gas business acumen elsewhere or paintings.
  19. Atleast before the internet, this sort of sh1t posting was reserved for those sandwich board or speaking in tongue types. I suppose becoming a priest was similar thing, telling them about fire and damnation instead of trawling the depths of the internet for his daily fix of internet dross whilst claiming the CIA was stealing his thoughts and how velcro/bubble wrap and soft loo roll was his idea.
  20. Maybe one of the c's at HMRC ?.
  21. He wouldn't meet anyone tho, they're locked away. I'm not sure why, maybe scared of mixing with the riff raff when you're earning 70k+. Plus with all those buttons and switches he'd never have enough time for replying on here in-between giving bob crow a handy.
  22. Maybe one day when you actually have a job position that's not on a salary you'll actually understand. You seem to equate every sod driving one as some massive company screwing over HMRC, reality is the UK is primarily small businesses. Just don't equate your boss turning up in his chauffeur driven Merc with a pickup truck. Its people in those trucks that keep this country running, not Rupert off on his 3rd ski trip of the season.
  23. The government is hardly getting something for nothing are they, regardless of how you're using it. You understand why HGVs aren't taxed into oblivion because the ved is low ISH because they drink fuel like an addict. At the end of the day the business has made that money, there are few perks to being self employed. Taking a salary isn't the same, we get shafted left, right and centre and have to sort pensions etc, a rare sweetener is needed just to make it better than saying sod the lot of you and making a dole claim for mental health or some other made up excuses. And we also get done over for commercial vehicle insurance, so Peds and his Passat won't have the same 1-2k insurance
  24. As you like numbers, say I did get a pickup and we had the tax deduction regardless of who drives it at say 28mpg average. So I've saved say 10k tax for example, well 28mpg Vs say 60mpg is 33 miles difference. Me thinks the government is going to make that back missing tax pretty quickly on fuel duty and ved!.
