Don't Pay UK

[itry]

I don't know either, @itry. Or rather, I know that we need to find a government that puts the country's interest first, rather than lining their ownn pockets and those of their mates. That wants to build a strong and independent and influential Britain (brexit and the myth of sovereignty was a backward step).
But where shall we find such leaders? Certainly not in Starmer! Saying he's not a bad as Bojo is like saying that being shot isnt as bad as drowning.
And therein lies the rub. In the meantime, we find solace in whinging and whining. I think we need a new and revolutionary party.
We'll either rise to the challenge or simply disappear.

Absolutly. Their is no party's out their that could sort this. Its all 100% jobs for the boys.

So what's to be done? Things can't go on like this.
Liz The Cheesemonger's next up. She wants to cancel windfall taxes and stop the enquiry into Boris' misleading Parliament and probably sell Yorkshire tea back to China. God knows what else.
Time to take up our pitchforks and cudgel so , methinks.

A thoroughly unprincipled bounder. Certainly we can trust him to do what's right for Mr Sunak and his mates.
There are only about 150 000 people, paid up tories, who can vote anyway, yet day after day, night after night, we have these two lightweights monopolising the airwaves as if it were of any interest to all of us who wins this race. How we're being brainwashed. The race for PM has become reality TV! How American is that!
The whole shiitshow has got to go.

Absolutely true! If you don't get into a private health fund then you will die, die on a waiting list. Operations to be paid for, better to pay than die on the waiting list. That is the future, can't rely on NHS.

Which is exactly what the cons are planning on. Once everyone's got private health insurance, there's no more need for an NHS, job done.
Fortunately I'm in the French system, which, since I paid my N I contributions in the UK, is billed to the NHS. That's not as bad as it seems since health care here is "conventionnée" and costs the NHS much less than if I were to return to England for the same treatment. Work that one out.

Example the fishing row and the channel migrants and leaving the eu.

Er … the fishermen of Britain virtually cleaned out the seas around the UK and started on the fish in Iceland.

The UK Government then complained when Iceland put up a 12 mile limit.

The so called “Cod Wars” were the result and now 12 miles is recognised as the territorial limit of a countries fishing rights.

At the moment, the UK are failing to meet their agreements with regard to French fishermen who (naturally) are protesting.

Personally, I am ashamed of the way in which this Government finds it so easy to lie, cheat or change Agreements that they have signed!

They're willing to put the Good Friday Agreement at serious risk. It's appalling.

What has the good Friday agreement got do with fishing, just asking

It's to do with Brexit, rather than fishing. Boris Johnson told bare-faced lies that no customs checks, and thus a few facto border, would be required between NI/Eire or NI/GB.

GFA prohibits a border between NI/Eire, so naturally there has to be checks on items flowing to and from NI/GB, as NO shares a land border with an EU country.

Just one of many examples of the bs Boris Johnson espoused to "get Brexit done".

[foxy]

Whats this got to do with being able to pay your energy bills, just asking as that was the op

That's what I thought when the Brexit reared its head

 

[foxy]

Grasping at straws now are we. Health for the rich is a disgusting concept and why are you so keen on British live when you live in paradise.

Same reason you are so interested in DT
