He doesn't understand what half the drivel he cuts&pastes means.

Joining the CPTPP does not prevent the UK rejoining the EU, but it does potentially make it a bit more difficult. And does taking a hopeful punt on how the World economy might look in 30 years time really balance out losing 4% of our GDP due to Brexit ?

An historically innaccurate western stereotypical image of a possibly mythical person. ( And that ignores the liklihood that Jesus would not have known about or experienced popcorn ).

You have to bear in mind the audience in Germany would be full of his relatives.

More pinko, lefty, remoaner, traitor trolling, this from the BBC reporting on the UK joining the CPTPP; "The short-term gains are marginal. The UK already had deals with the majority of these nations as part of its EU membership which have been carried over. Since Brexit, the UK has added Australia and New Zealand to its trade deal tally. It was just Brunei and Malaysia left that the UK didn't have a deal with and between them those two account for less than 0.5% of the total of UK trade. Even with some changes to the trading arrangements with other countries, the gains from the expanded accord is expected to be fairly small - around 0.08% of GDP over 10 years, according to the government's best stab at an estimate. By contrast, leaving the EU, the government's independent forecasters reckon, will cost the UK far more than that - perhaps 4% of our income. In total, the CPTPP accounted for 8% of UK exports in 2019 - less than we sold to Germany" ( Please note that, unlike a certain poster, I attribute my sources ).

It just goes to show that our "dross" may well have not been, but just didn't fit Saints or the PL. ( Doesn't explain Hoedt though ).

What is confusing is that Hoedt, Van Damme, Elyounoussi, Clasie, Onuachu, and Delgado were/are full internationals, and 2 have played in World Cup finals tournaments, with Tall Paul having appeared at the AFCON finals.

There are no dentists taking on new NHS patients in the county of Lancashire.

Trying to be serious, to my mind there are 2 issues with the CPTPP deal; firstly, and simply, the fact that the nearest member country is Canada, and the others are on the other side of the World. This is hardly going to help small and medium businesses trying to cope with the issues caused by Brexit and loss of access to markets 30 miles away. Secondly, there seem to be significant differences in some areas between EU and CPTPP regulations, such as animal welfare and food hygiene, which could mean that complying with CPTPP rules, which are not as strict as EU rules, means we no longer have straight forward access to European markets. But what do I know, I'm just a troll.

What a big girl's blouse. And as for "my opinion.....", nobody gives a shit about your opinion, you pompous, self righteous ass.

Yet they are oh so quick to send out recovery letters for slight overpayments of pension and benefits when somebody dies.

Our youngest son is a tax accountant and many of the small businesses his company deals with are complaining when told their Covid Support LOANS have to be paid back.

And there was me thinking that the weeks only seem to go quicker because I am getting older.

To be fair, ( does he deserve it ? ), he only posts what he reads in the Tory press. It's not as if it's original thinking or analysis.

Yesterday morning I ordered a new mains charger. The website said that orders places before 2pm would be next day delivery. I have just received a message from Royal Mail, who have my parcel and will deliver it on Thursday. Who took Wednesday out of the week ?

What about our very own SWF member "Jeremy Corbyn" ?

Russia is said to be moving some of it's nuclear weapons to Belarus, a state with a GDP around that of Montana. Which is fair, because the US keeps a lot of it's nuclear arsenal in a State with the GDP of Montana.

At least 5 dead, including 3 pupils, at a Primary School in Nashville. Presumably if the teachers were armed it could have been averted.

Rest easy, Chris Smith and David Blunkett were Cabinet members under Tony Blair.

I read that it was kit used for historical recreations being moved ready for a demonstration. Mind you, they are using WW1 era machine guns on both sides.
