    When has life ever been fair? When will you understand that everyone can't be earning £1000 a week and even if they were inflation would soon put the value down again. Do you think that people on benefits should, smoke, drink have mobile phones and sky paid for by us? Or maybe we should pay everyone loads until the business goes bankrupt and then no one has a job Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I think you are wrong on that one. If university students are hoping for minimum wage they should not be there in the first place. If you mean "living" wage for the non graduates/students then maybe but I do wonder how many of those bothered to vote? People being willing to work is a funny thing as I've worked various trades over the years and people seem to want to be paid loads for doing a mediocre job in lots of cases. The good ones move on and do make a good living at whatever they choose to do. How many jobs will be cut if minimum wage went up to £10 an hour next week as some staff simply aren't productive enough. Genuine question as I do think it's a problem Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I'd not really thought of it in those terms to be honest and you are right. For me the bigger point is we did not need to be in this mess at all. If she had left it alone brexit could have been pushed through parliament regardless. Who thinks we will get a better deal now that we are in this situation rather than last weeks situation? Not that I ever thought or think it will be a very good outcome. This just plays into the EUs hands Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No idea on the teams for the negotiations but I think it would be a good idea to have some proven diplomats along with some proven business people doing it. Where you will find that mix in government is another question! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No idea really! Just like May and the rest when they put the manifesto together. The "dementia tax" winter fuel payments being stopped etc really were a stupid idea as they are things that don't matter to the very rich. The middle ground and old people would have been hit by it hard. the people they aim to get votes from normally. That along with corybn promising students everything they want for nothing has put us where we are now. To add to that I think if labour had not proposed this land value tax thing he might have gone and won Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No they should not join with the DUP. I think we all know that's not the right way to go. As for both loosing not really as labour got less than the conservatives. I don't think May will last long though Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Didn't miliband resign when he lost the last election for labour? Why is corybn not doing the same? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Jeremy corybn is Robin Hood it seems that people forget he was a thief! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Why does Mrs kranky think may should resign for loosing 20(?) seats yet she lost about a third of hers but that's still a win? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Mind you if the poll is right it might shut Mrs kranky up!🤣🤣 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    They did but would they get together again? That's if lib dems get enough to get over the line. With brexit there is too much on the line for fighting too much in parliament as well Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Hung parliament is the worst outcome we could have I reckon. Corybn would almost be better than a parliament that can't do anything! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Yes it's a vote for the least bad option! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    This is why the figures are difficult to use properly as you can twist them to say what you want! They may well have spent more of GDP but the economy was knackered when they came to power so they have had less income to play with. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I'd say if you are labour shadow home Secutary then you should be using public services not going private. Not a crime no but hardly putting their message across is it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    My point being that lots of people thinking something or someone is great does not make it true. I really believe the man is dangerous but she's no better it's almost like having no choice at all this time! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I would go round them too maybe no one see them but the bees will like them and I don't see any harm in leaving them. That said in one of the villages I do there is a really dull bit of a footpath that always gets cow parsley I left it first year as I thought it looked ok ( better than the scrubland behind it anyway!) Well big mistake I got moaned at and kept being reminded to take the stuff down. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    The most is about 12 twelve miles most of it within 5 miles parts are between an hour and an hour and a half (round trip if they are not busy)depending on traffic. 10 miles or about 15 10 mile place is across town so I normally go the 15 mile one as it's normally quicker.

    I'm not sure how true the info in the links is somewhere near the mark I would think. As for pushing lawnmowers around a village it shows you know as much about how I do things as I know about collecting parts! This is much easier[emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    That's not true. Look how much the welfare state costs us. https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jan/08/uk-benefit-welfare-spending Compared to £58 a year EU wide on CAP. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/13/what-would-brexit-mean-for-farmers-and-the-common-agricultural-p/amp/ I'm not against the "little man" I just think he should be trying to help himself instead of getting others to do it for him (unions etc) Your scenario of waiting for parts fits this perfectly. Why not drive and collect the stuff instead? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
