I have no problem parties and public recognising service but not to the lords. The lords needs reform not added to until the reform is concluded, and even then not. How can an additional job( for life, as things currently exist) be tolerated? No, not now or ever again

per JR comments he needs to be careful as 62% (21/34 first team squad shown on MU website) and not British. HE pays them HUGE sums to do so. Presumably they are happy with his comments as the money dulls the pain?
All this from a Monaco immigrant - I'm not good enough to make this up!

Genuine Q.
If a legal monopoly like water, where there is NO opportunity for commercial challenge, if failing, does the legal aspect of its entity preserve worth?

the Cranston report highlights a range of issues:
- Tory Govt happy to leave Maritime service and Border force under-resourced
- poor policies
- assumption by staff that people didnt really need help.

sickening!
