The Dick Van Dyke show comedy was regular viewing when I was 6 to 11 years old. Thanks for the laughs Dick and happy birthday!

I agree Tim but will we ever regain the great deal that Farage and his ilk gave up? enjoyed.

The Polish economy improved and we had the Brexit Slump. Good hard workers and I wish them well.

And that would be absolutely terrible, Tim.

Contemplating his owner! Mmm.

42? You bro looks like he should be collecting his pension!

Maybe the example I give is not frequent in itself, but it perhaps suggests the wisdom of ensuring that the legislation is fit for purpose in today’s world, Tim. And that is all I’m trying to point out.

He’s wrecking the world, not just America.

I rather like the idea that a criminal who has threatened other people’s rights to a decent life can be returned to sender.

Is it not better to bring current legislation into this century than losing the ECHR all together by letting Reform in?

Suspect that Trump likes the idea of European turmoil. We are a significant competitive trading block - or at least we were before Brexit - and he likes to eliminate competitors. Russia isn’t a competitor to Trump who seems to think ‘my enemies enemy is my friend’.

And I strongly supported their initial action that increased their pay by an average of 29% but their current actions are, IMO, indefensible.

Are you confirming that you are a descendant of immigrants.

Torsten - as you say much of our infrastructure (water, rail, power) is ancient. Even 20th century development is dated & we must encourage (by tax relief) private firms to kick start investment. Optimism fuels spending. You must nip budget accusations in the head. I wasn’t misled Reeves spoke truth

Blocked. Thanks Bee.

I can disprove that theory- Farage would drown by lunchtime.

His Connedstituents must be pleased to know this.

Had they not done so many foolish things I could have agreed with you. Commitment not to increase certain taxes for 5 years was a naive start and whilst the blocking of universal WFP was good, not sorting threshold first was barmy as was increase in NI when growth is needed!

Polanski’s ideas seem wonderful, even for a fantasy.
