Re: Racism, xenophobia, in Brexit Britain

Of course HiC has only given half the story when talking about current regulations being enshrined in UK law. Yes, this will happen under the 'Great Repeal Bill' but then those bits that are not liked will be repealed. Do you really in your wildest dreams envisage that the government will have the ...

Re: Racism, xenophobia, in Brexit Britain

Whether it be termed xenophobia or racism, I believe it was a principal component of the majority decision to vote for Brexit in the referendum. On the TV news the other day a guy being interviewed was not embarrassed to admit that he voted for Brexit "to get all the foreigners out". And ...

Re: Currency Fair and Money Laundering

Another example of unnecessary bureaucracy. Surely if the sender has been checked out and his bank account (that has also been checked out) that is the source of the funds things should be OK. If the sending bank is dodgy then the sender needs to be aware of this. Sounds like some jobsworth some whe...

Re: Cyprus Tax Residency

It's not surprising that the government offices are not up to date with their back log of work when the idiots in parliament keep changing the rules every 5 minutes. Seems they don't know their ar**s from their elbows.

Road Warrior, Thank you for your kind encouragement. It is "lonely at times" being one of the last Brexiteers on this forum... (apologies to Lloyd) You are not alone. Just because we don't always respond to every one of HiC's inane postings, does not mean we are not here. Just thought I w...

Re: extra parking at Lidl Mesogi Ave

Crap, that Lidl was always super busy ......... now that they've got extra parking space it's going to be even worse! Shane Answer is easy. Don't use it and make things easier for the rest of us. One thing though, you must decide if you want to use the new car park beforehand as if you enter the ol...

Re: Terrible tower block fire in London

I agree, she seems intent on bringing the present government into disrepute, all by herself.

Lloyd I presume that you have now seen on tv that she both visited survivors both in church and in hospital. The media even commented on her expression. Was she supposed to be laughing? It appears that everyone is out to get her in a real witch hunt and it is not nice at all. That was her second vi...
