    However, in a column written for Bloomberg, he pointed to the current strength of the pound versus both the dollar and the euro as clear signs that Britain had bounced back from whatever negative impact severing links with Brussels had caused".

    I think it is a bit early to say that. I would make the 17.4 million that voted for this shambles pay for it. 16bn/17.4m. They can pay from their salary, benefits or the can flog their gaff.

    Brexit LIVE: THOUSANDS flee City – Boris must secure finance deal

     financial firms has sparked a mass exodus of bankers from the City of London due to the lack of financial service provisions in the Brexit deal.

    Without any specific agreement on financial services, several banks such as Morgan Stanley, Barclays and Goldman Sachs have now moved senior bankers out of London. Instead, these firms have now looked to centres in Frankfurt, Paris and Milan. Due to the "post-Covid phenomenon", some firms are also looking to relocate masses of workers by 2024.

    Nobody cares. This is business. The modern Tory attitude to business is "F@ck business".

    They've been spinning the lie that the existence of these gangs are some sort of far right conspiracy for so long that nothing will convince them otherwise.

    Show them the data, and they will respond by saying that "most rapists are white", which is both true (as you would expect in an 87% white country) and a total deflection, because nobody is talking about "all rapists" - we are talking specifically about organised gangs of men who target and abuse girls in a specific way.

    Those groups are overwhelmingly from a specific background, they do account for a very high proportion of such cases, despite being less than 2% of the population, and by their own admission, they are motivated to do what they do based on specific racial, religious and cultural characteristics of their victims, and the way that they perceive the worth of the girls involved as a result - the literal definition of a hate crime.

    What's shocks me more than anything is that councillors, social workers, police, the CPS, MPs and even Home Secretaries and the current leader of the Labour Party sat on this and did nothing because they were afraid of being called silly names. 

    Those "people" should be flayed alive alongside the rapists!

    One thing we will always agree on. I don't see this as a left right issue myself. Criminals should be prosecuted to the full extent under the law irrespective of race, colour or creed.

    He's been on my blocked list for a while, due to exactly the sort of abusive posting that you've quoted.

    I take it that this has become fairly regular...

    I called you out for being a festering sow's vagina. I stand by it.

    I do believe that the Western Australian Govt. ordered that a couple of blokes were assigned there to shoot any starlings and sparrows. I know that when I lived in WA, a few spoggies that had hitched lifts on ships, were  shot in Fremantle.

    Apologies for swinging away from the subject matter.

    She worked for WA Department of Agriculture. There is a checkpoint at Eucla where they check fruit and veg trucks for Queensland Fruit Fly. WA is or at least was fruit fly free.

    Any topic with spiders is going to end up in The Land Down Under.

    We get a lot of these in the garden, the huntsman spider, Hoconia immanis. Had 2 of them scuttle over my hand as I was lifting a clump of strap ferns.

    When my cousin lived in Eucla she was was out in her ute one day. The sun was getting in her eyes so she flipped down her sun visor. When she did a big huntsman fell into her lap. Now she always flips down the sun visors before getting into a vehicle.

    When I was a boy, my parents had a caravan and on the site, there was a toilet/shower block.
    In this shower block, I once saw the biggest spider that I've ever seen in the UK and it frightened the bejesus out of me.
    It was as big as my (boy's) hand and had distinct cream and brown banding on its legs, much like the common garden orb web spider - only much, much bigger.
    I've only ever seen one other, and that was a few weeks later. It was about half the size of the first one, and it was on that same caravan site.
    After something like 45 years, I think I've solved the mystery.
    Do you know what this is?

    Who cares? A couple of dozen fishermen's votes are unlikely to sway anything.

    You feckers soon change your fecking tunes. That was not what you and your gobshite, goggle eyed kunt of a mate was saying a  year or two ago.

    It gets better!
    Now, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said that Boris Johnson is the "biggest threat to the United Kingdom".
    Not only is he blatantly plagiarising American anti-trump rhetoric, but he also seems to have lost sight of the SNP and Alba who are actively trying to tear the union apart, right under his nose.

    Boris Johnson is the SNP's best recruiting Sergeant. I thought you did not like unions?

    Revisiting the title of this thread, lets try hindsight from a different perspective.....

     

    If we had stayed in the EU (ie if we had listened to the socialists) we would not have been able to negotiate a vaccine supply, but would have been caught up in the present EU vaccino-politico-claptrap.

     

    Instead of over 25 million of our citizens being vaccinated,  we would still be awaiting a dribble of vaccines, and still squabbling over "priorities"

     

    That would have meant a number of us catching Covid-19 (or one of its mutants) with the inevitable result of hospitalizations, ICU, intubation, "!ong covid" and or death for the unlucky (that could have included you, the reader, or me, the writer or both of us)

    Puts arguing over fish quotas and queues at Dover into perspective.......

     

    ....and we would be sitting under a leftwing government, wieh Corbyn thinking he was in charge, awaiting salvation

     

    Just be thankful we are where we are  -   look at the situation in Italy and the rising "Third Wave" across the EU

     

     

     

    All my rellies in France have had both shots. I have only had one so far.

    You lot are going to regret the passing of COVID-19. What will you use as an excuse for the p!ss poor performance of your wonderful Tory party when the virus is no longer an issue?

    Only those importing them ,doesnt make a jot of difference to 99% of the population her

    Only those businesses importing them. What orifice did you pluck 99% from? Where is "here"? In your back garden? As for posting a link do a Government web site, you may as well post links to Disneyland.

    That's interesting. I'd love to catch a mullet. I haven't done much fishing over the past year but I'm planning to stay in a b&b in Christchurch for 4 nights in early July - partly the Avon and Stour, but I was thinking of trying for a mullet as well in the tidal bit. The trouble is I can't stand too long because of back trouble, so trotting is tricky. I don't suppose ledger is any good for them? I've always seen people fish for them with a float.

    I use an Avon type float rod. Sometimes I use a controller float, or an Avon or a quill. Sometimes I put a little weight on and fish on the bottom. The only problem fishing off the bottom where I fish is crabs nicking your bait and catching little bass instead of mullet.

     

    I don't like standing for too long. I have a little chair that I take. There is a public hard very close to me so I can walk to my spot and take my chair. It is only a ten minute walk.
