    logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

    Many external factors influence the ability of the business to “supply”, such as public infrastructure, and training and education. Why should trade unions/workers be any less valid a contribution than a highly paid/ specialised role you refer to? They were bring subsidised long before then...

    logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

    Not sure NHS doctors or train operator staff would agree. Train operating companies couldn't make a profit without their contracts guaranteeing a return, and even then they went to the wall. TWA is another example, where the company is cow to be milked for its debt interest.

    logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

    Textbook economics answer, but life is more complex. For example 1) and 2) could equally apply to trade unions negotiating better pay for their workers, yet such an approach would be dismissed as anti business by right wing think tanks.

    logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

    Free market forces don’t work on the basis of rewarding someone‘s skill sets. The politics of power do that - economic power.

    Reform supporters voting against their best interests

    The right wing of the forum can sometimes seem to morph into a blob, like a meeting of the invasion of the body snatchers

    Reform supporters voting against their best interests

    Trumpf’s base voted against their own interests, it’s remarkable what blind faith can lead to

    Identify what’s causing the leaks, a few out of focus pics don’t go a long way to resolving the problem

    Privatisation of Water

    It’s a wonderful windfall for the people who see TW as a debt cow to be milked, knowing that politicians won’t let it go bust. More government bonds issued, the interest needs paying off, taxes rise. What’s not to like. It seems they are or have been involved in Southern Water snd TWA...

    Rayner. Wow, what a surprise.

    The story broke a few years ago, and has been revived because some of those involved have agreed to go public at risk to themselves and their families. The story won’t go away and Nige is deploying his considerable PR skills to try to kill it. If you’re the young boy that had those vile words...

    Another eBay scammer

    No he didn’t admit it, I had a positive record with eBay and that probably helped. Who knows if he had tried it before. He turned up in a Lexus and was well to do, having driven 150 miles to collect. I know from others that late posting of an item can have an immediate negative impact, it can...

    Another eBay scammer

    I sold a used leccy lawn mower, and eBay ruled in my favour when the purchaser claimed it didn’t work. It was a collection in person and the buyer declined an offer to fire it up, so that probably helped. £8 builds up if you regularly scam people.

    Congratulations LANDO & Mclaren

    Doubtless a brilliant driver and result, but cannot see the attraction of F1 today compared to the 60's and 70's

    The YT review by the proper diy bloke says adjusting the compressed air dial on the top makes no difference- is your experience different?

    Thanks - as a follow up - Does it sink the nail under the surface of softwood ok? Is the depth/pressure setting useful? Have you tried it on hardwood?
