I'm looking at property in Spain again.On the whole, except for trendy Costas, it's half the price of similar property here. HALF.Mortgages are 2.5% fixed for 30 years. Cost of living is also cheaper than here. And eating out is half the cost of UK.We are sooo ripped off here.

I honestly don't understand it.In France retirement age increases from 62 to 64 and the mobs hit the streets to protest. UK inflicts huge damage to our lives, our rights, our well-being, our incomes, the welfare entitlements we pay for , even our life expectancy. We do nothing

1/In 1670 two Quakers charged with unlawful assembly were found not guilty at the Old Bailey by a jury. The judge then imprisoned the jury without food, water, heat, or light, saying "I will have a positive verdict or you'll starve for it".

I woke up to an overstuffed pompous UKIP arsehole on Sky news spouting utter racist shite & who had no understanding of EU FOM legislation in respect of claiming benefits. Turned out it wasn't UKIP, it was Brandon Lewis, Minister of State for Immigration under Priti Patel. WTAF.

I noticed tonight how comparatively poor we are compared to our first world neighbours. We are paid less, and getting poorer by the minute. Lecturing in the Netherlands pays 50% more than here.The extra wealth in Germany is very clear to see.We're the 1970s poor relations again.

McCluskey really is an utterly vile, double talking piece of shit. I'm ashamed to hear his Scouse accent. I've no idea what his motivation is for Brexit, but nobody, nobody, on his money could truly be that thick. And he needs a shave, the lazy arsehole.

We're doing the garden, maybe putting a summer house up in it. It's a Dutch product. Price in NL is €3250. Say £3000. Post Brexit UK price is £5,250. Sterling dropped 16% in 2016, then there's tariffs on top. It's a 50% hike. Thank you Tories, another Brexit success story.

@liamyoung I'm on the side of #Remain. Tories were excluded from my voting behaviour in about 1990. Corbyn withdrew his Party from common values to sit and passively watch whatever is going on. I have no confidence in Labour's ability to manage the country. Or themselves.

Omicron XE has arrived and is likely to be the dominant strain. It's a mix of BA.1 & BA.2.It's more transmissable than BA.2, which is already the most contagious. @Conservatives were warned that new Variants would emerge if Govt pretended Covid was over. So wear your mask, dammit.
