I had to go there at short notice for work. I wouldn't expect you to grasp circumstances like that broom boy.

Maybe. The analysis I read had Johnson holding off sacking him so he can be the official can carrier for when the Government is excoriated by the enquiry into the PPE, care home and lockdown fiascos.

Must be a fucking awesome job to make having to sleep with him worth it.

'Dopey' is brighter than him

Lets face it - who has a better grasp on what is is better for EE's profitabilty? you or them? They are the market leader and will have calculated how much they will make and how many (few) people will bother to move as a result, particularly when all the other companies start to do the same, Things wont immediately revert back to the extreme profiteering that existed before the EU directive, it will happen in gradual slices. As posted above I got charged £1 per mb when roaming last weekend by Plusnet who use the EE network. They can quite honestly advertise saying they haven't put their charges up - they simply dropped a whole load of countries from the included 'home' rates list. So yeah the roaming charges haven't changed, its simply that you are now liable for those charges in far more places. Thats politics and business in Boris' dishonest doublespeak country. Consumer and voter protection was one of the main benefits of the EU - citizens in the UK are largely seen as consumers whose sole role it is is to buy stuff at the highest prices possible with the minimum guarantee.

Meh, that’s rubbish . The phone companies operated pricing cartels on roaming befor the EU directive and they are starting to do it again now. I was paying £1 per mb over the weekend

Why do you do this to yourself? Antrim is right. The EU has anti dumping protections on steel which primarily affects the Chinese. Obviously UK produced steel still faced competition from other producers in the EU but on a level playing field in that costs wrrr more comparable and production wasn’t government subsidised

So all your answers are directed to thread title rather than point made? An odd strategy to say the least

Lol. You're like a stuck record - rebutting things no one said. Indeed I pointedly avoided mentioning Brexit. Before the but but buts arrive - its perfectly possible to continue co-ordination on strategic industries without being a member, just as is happening on nuclear and fish

Thats black and white. Is that you Collins Dic??

Steel is still a bigger industry than fishing and with greater claim to be a vital national interest. Everyone knows we are never going to be competitive with China but retaining vestiges of the industry and skills in this country is important.

Steel is a strategically vital resource. It's one of those products and commodities - like food, energy, electronics, defence etc that you cant entirely give up on and rely on imports from potentially hostile countries. Arguably there was more chance of having a viable UK steel industry as part of the EU anti dumping tariffs.

Its like still trying to flog the dead horse of Loadsamoney or Swiss Toni 25 years past its sell by date.

Even for the most nuanced issues with multiple possible outcomes there is only one wrong answer and one right answer? Hm

Different symptoms of Delta might contribute to faster spread rather than greater infectivity. Suggestion that the Delta variant is spreading faster because the symptoms are more like a heavy cold than previous covid variants so people think they are safe to go out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57467051

I was on a train once which had been held up for a couple of hours due to someone committing suicide on the line. Ad we eventually went past the site some people cheered and one banged on the window yelling “I hope it hurt”

Looks like Boris’ plan of signing up to a crap deal, reneging on it and blaming the EU is falling apart . The EU are united and now the US is backing them in the dispute.

Same. Typical punk era teen age rebellion would get you crucified now

Losing all your best players and most of the rest every season because you can’t afford to pay them from May till August. Having to build a new team from scratch every year. Life is tough when you’re a small club struggling to survive at the bottom end of the football league. Arf.

The idea didnt originate with Trump, it was already circulating in January 2020. He simply jumped on it months later.

Tbf all three are probably better than Johnson and Hancock. Sunak seems competent and a good sense of direction. Gove is competent but shifty and socially out of touch. Raab - jury is out.

He is though. Regularly puffs himself up and tries to look dominant but cant carry it off.

Nothing worse than a runt trying to be macho

The sad part is that likely nothing will happen. Twenty years ago it would have been seismic but now standards of honestly have fallen so low they will probably be able to ride it out
