Re: This is unbelievable
Disgusting - How was it that the Cemetery Board was unaware yet an employee of the cemetery had the paperwork to hand. The board should hold their heads in shame and resign

Re: Jolyon Maugham
And the EU gravy train still rolls on with MEP's noses well and truly in the gravy boat, still staying in the most expensive hotels in the world, flying around in private jets, chauffuered cars, the best in fine dining, expensive champagne & wine, claiming vast amounts of expenses the list goes ...

Re: What a bunch of muppets
Apart from JB who seems to think that the EU are still perfect. The EU had no option to do a U Turn as what they were about to put into place was at best immoral and at worst a complete lack of competence & governance. The EU are showing their true colours by resorting to bully boy tactics becau...

An interesting perspective from a respected commercial lawyer with the Radcliffe Chambers. 'The EU's public position is legally unsustainable, and they have made public comments that are demonstrably wrong,' he said.Pulling apart the EU contract, Mr Barrett pointed to section 5.1 as the most damning...

Re: What a bunch of muppets
Im not a betting man but I think I would put money on that the new Novavax will also be cheaper than the Pfizer vaccine per dose as well; especially given it is very much like the AZ vaccine when it comes to transportation and storage. Given the current global shortage of vaccines Pfizer will for th...

Re: Vaccination
On such rare occasions I once again agree with HIC. It has been less than a year so far and I can only look on in amazement at the the dedication of scientists who have worked so diligently to get the breakthrough they needed in order to produce a vaccine, not forgetting the global testing programme...

Re: What a bunch of muppets
UK cutting corners - JB you always accuse people who do not agree with your assessments and posts of just reading Right Wing Propaganda by so called Right Wing press publications - it could be easily said that you and others love to follow left wing views especially when it comes to the EU.

Re: What a bunch of muppets
For all the mistakes the UK have made over the Pandemic they have in many cases led the way with regards to the development of vaccines that not only work but are far easier to transport & store, and with another breakthrough in the last 24 hours with the Novavax really does give hope that life ...

Re: Ain't that just so...
Thank you Dominic and i stand corrected on the phrase used, I also commend you on the point of the vote to go in the EEC. We both certainly agree on the point of the people who did not vote - perhaps it would have been a remain vote that won or perhaps it would have been a larger victory for leave, ...

Re: Ain't that just so...
32% / 52% - dress it up how you want, the fact was the UK voted Leave. People in The UK who voted leave voted on issues that they felt affected their daily lives as a result the vote leave won - you chose to live in Cyprus and do not live with the same issues as those who live and work in the UK. yo...

Re: Brexit Deal in Full
Jim B - you can bang on about remaining as much as you like the FACTS are there was a referendum called, everyone was asked to vote the FACTS are the UK voted LEAVE. What many posters including myself are fed up of is that you HIC and other can’t accept is the result and look to make as many negativ...

Re: Brexit Deal in Full
Nothing to show other than today’s report that the UK is once again the 5th largest economy in the world and the 2nd largest economy in Europe behind Germany give it a rest - problem is if the likes of HIC had bothered to vote the result may have been different, the fact was that the likes of HIC we...

Re: Amazon UK..
I personally think part of the skills shortage problem has been the emphasis on tech over the last 25 years. The governments, schools, colleges etc were all focusing their efforts on the tech boom, brick laying, plumbing, electrical, roofing etc was all but pushed to one side and as a result as Jim ...

Re: Amazon UK..
Jim B - I tend to agree with the context of your post, UK is not perfect however HIC always paints a picture of how perfect the EU is and will always dig up some snippet of information to support his own rose tinted view of the EU. I just found the article by Mark Almond an interesting read showing ...
