A post was split to a new topic: Proposed Smoking Ban
Caught by the Wragg scammers?
Menzies has been relieved of his position as âunpaidâ Trade Envoy to Columbia, who knew there was such a role? And unpaid? Hmm, heâs a money grubbing Tory, what was he receiving for his troubles I wonder? âLocked up by bad people demanding moneyâ. From Columbia maybe! Now what is the main import from Columbia? Iâm sure there will be no shortage of volunteers to replace him in his âunpaid roleâ, with the Slithy Gove in pole position no doubt, he has some experience of South American produce apparently!
There are currently 12 police officers investigating Angela Rayner over an alleged avoidance of ÂŁ1500 capital gains tax of which the Old Bill have already said there is no case to answer, yet Menzies has not currently even been reported to them. And what about Lady Mone and hubby who are probably sipping a cocktail on their yacht, (or should that be our yacht), somewhere in The Med as we speak, on ÂŁ20 million of our money illegally gained? Are his Majestyâs finest chasing them? Are they fuck!
This current alleged government are corrupt to the core, and thoroughly immoral to boot, led by an absolutely useless fool hopelessly out of his depth. Sunak and co have been sitting on this story for months, it was only when they got wind of The Times snooping around the story that they threw in the allegations about Rayner in a vain hope to deflect it. It wonât work.

This just gets better and better. David Cameron appointed Menzies PPS to Alan Duncan, a role in which he was sacked from when he was caught bang to rights trying to procure Class A drugs from a Brazilian rent boy. Despite this when the hapless Sunak became PM he appointed Menzies trade envoy to Columbia and Peru! In the words of the wonderful Half Man Half Biscuit, âWhat made Columbia famous made a prick out of youâ.
I wonder what Mandelsonâs doing nowadays?
Sadly heâs running the show and calling the shots in the Labour Party.
Much as I detest Mandelson, Iâve never been able to summon up the same visceral hatred that I have for Campbell.
Cunting Tories (& Labour) imho

It probably wouldnât stand up to a legal challenge on age discrimination
One thing is for sure - if the EU are pushing it, they have an agenda and itâs not born out of doing whatâs best for the young
To be fair youâre probably overthinking it imho
Just for once it would be nice to see our government actually do something positive with our ânewâ relationship with the EU but with a general election looming 
So the Tories appear to be doing this to gain local election votes?
Despicable.
The Guardian are equivalent to the New European nowadays. It doesnât say who thought it, or why they believed it.
Errrrm just like all your right wing rags?
(Not yours personally obvs)
Not sure . Van Der whatâs her face said herself that this is about getting a younger generation used to the idea of being able to move about
No doubt in 10 years time they will suggest another referendum and it wouldnât surprise me if the EU weaponised it
But then I am a cynic
The Irish are beginning to lose their shit - 80% of the migrants have come across the land border (that porous border that they absolutely insisted stay open)
Their courts have ruled that the UK is not a safe country because to the threat of Rwanda, so they are rushing through legislation to enable them to do so
Maybe the Irish can do us all a favour and fly them directly to one of their safe EU partners ie France given thatâs where they came from to get to the UK

That thought did cross my mind tooâŚ
Weaponising by giving youngsters free access to travel across the whole of Europe which, remember was effectively stopped by only a small majority in the overall vote who managed to âget Brexit doneâ?
Give it a few years and the majority of dyed in the wool âpatriotsâ will have popped their clogs.
The noises from the younger Brexiteers seems quieter these days - Embarrassment on realising what a shite hole the UK has become under Tory rule & their god given right to 2 weeks in the sun or overwintering in the Med or Canaries is now no longer as straightforward as it used to be?
(no, why should I move if I donât like it? Itâs my country too)
Yes, I think we shot ourselves in the foot, but Iâm not the one in denial like many still are.
It would have been better to change the EU from within rather than succumbing to right wing populism. IMHO of course.
