Whether Starmer has the power to do something never stands in his way. He likes to exceed his powers and ignore parliament constantly, getting frequent and increasing chastising from the speaker for it. The latest UK-wide ban for everyone* from social media wasn't even announced or discussed...

It's a cult. Obviously there's some science behind it. But the followers neglect all other factors and common sense. It would be great if we all went carbon-neutral tomorrow. But there's absolutely no point in reducing our <1% while merely exporting most of it to China, bankrupting ourselves...

Interesting article. Looks like we previously paid a disproportionate share, they now want to spend even more than before we left, so they're going to have massive battles between them over who pays how much now that Britain isn't donating vast amounts. Glad we're out. Many long for the good...

If I was loaded and had a spare £5m I'd give it to Farage, and I wouldn't want anything back in return. Rich people have always splashed out on good things for their community, it's nothing new. I grew up in a mill town that boomed in the Victorian era. There are parks and lavish public...

Nah. Starmer needs time for his farewell tour, during which he'll gift Gibraltar to his EU puppetmasters.

I'd rate Ed as special school material. I don't think he really understands anything other than his weird CO2 religion.

I attempted to find a figure for how much we'd have paid the EU in membership fees over the last ten years but have saved. Unfortunately most reports are politically loaded, so authors conflate this with other perceived (sometimes imaginary) losses and the fact that some of the money paid to...

People with no constructive arguments usually turn to insults.

The sky hasn't fallen down, as the BBC pretty much predicted would happen if the plebs voted to leave.

Be grateful it's got its own thread, and isn't just random rants in unrelated threads about everything else. It's 10 years, so a landmark.

His sidekick little Wesley said "They're bond markets, not Bond Villains". Bless his innocent little mind. The bond yield is stupidly high right now, way above the levels of the very brief Truss spike. We're borrowing to pay the interest on our previous borrowing. Taxes are at record highs...

Tell us who the countries are if you like, and what the UK's equivalent measure is.

Cross that bridge if you can't get a job, don't make plans on how to give up trying until you have.

It would be career suicide IMO. Don't give up before trying.

Have you missed your medication today? You're even grumpier than usual. The y-axis is a bunch of flags that are about 5 pixels wide. If you're going to present what you think is data then at least make it legible. Of course I'm not going to bother working out who they're meant to represent...

I'd suggest finding out whether you need to declare the epilepsy while applying - I suspect not. Also don't state that you can't drive unless asked - don't volunteer this information unprompted. Just emphasise the positives, i.e. that you're a newly qualified gas fitter, tell them about the...

I heard recently they were offering the same discounts we had while in if we re-joined, which they previously said were gone for ever if we left. Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssse come back, we want to get back to taking your money and treating you like crap.

That looks a lot like a graph of population density from a quick glance. More people = more poo. That's why our country stinks more every year.

Thanks for your unending positivity and ability to bicker about nothing. I didn't say they can't drive, I said they often don't. We had 3 plumbers here to fit a heating system. They all arrived in one van. I don't know whether the other two could drive, but the fact is that only the boss...
